I believe there are two aspects to what makes a good photograph. The first is the technical side. Different people will have different ways of categorising this aspect and for the sake of this podcast I used five elements:
- Light and exposure
- Composition
- Colour and tone
- Timing (in all its interpretations)
- Relationship (between the viewer and the subject)
The second aspect is to look at the questions you are asking. I am constantly inspired by other people's work and I'll typically ask:
- How did they achieve that result?
- How can I do the same thing?
What inevitably happens after answering the second question is that I will put my spin on it and get the outcome I want.
So, if you're not sure what makes a good photograph for you (and this, of course, is all subjective), start by asking more questions. A comment that I like is that the quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask. I think this is true for photography.
Another thing to think about is the result you are driving for. So, begin with the end in mind and ask the questions that will lead to you achieving the outcome you are striving for.
And, a final comment about social media: Shoot what you love and don't worry about the number of Likes. And, ignore unsolicited comments. Only accept comments from the people you would choose to approach for feedback.
