I guess since I have a 4-year degree in photography and a now-20-year career
as a photographer, I'd have to say I've done both as well. However, I never
consciously think of the term "composition" and it enters into my thinking
almost not at all. To me, you don't "compose" a photograph. The photograph
composes itself and then you recognize later which photographs were
successes.
Lots of potentially honest photographs are ruined by intentional
"composition."
