Dive into the ideas of what makes a good photograph in this episode of the Perceptive Photographer podcast. In episode 461 we try to unlock what defines quality in a image and how our assessment of the subjective nature of good changes and evolves over time From engaging our emotions to shifting at our thinking, we talk about how to discover the key elements that make a photograph truly stand out.

Key Topics

  • What makes a good photograph?
  • Distractions in photos: purposeful or not?
  • The subjective nature of photographic interest
  • Emotional evocation as a photo’s marker
  • Thinking photos: contemplation and engagement
  • “I also believe that photographs that are good have us think. They have us shift our way at our awareness of the world in a way we hadn’t considered before.”
