Points taken from famous photographers

 

 

The main three qualities that I thought were very important are intriguing subject matter, proper lighting, and the ability to evoke emotion. This is what sets one picture apart from the rest, especially when someone is scrolling through a bunch of pictures. If you have these qualities in a picture, then the person will get to your picture and stop. Because you have these qualities in a photo, people can’t help but look at it in awe and take in all the features. If everybody takes the same type of picture, then the matter in it will be less interesting to view. If there isn’t proper lighting, then the image may not be seen as clearly. If it doesn’t make people feel a certain way inside, then they will become indifferent to the photo and keep scrolling. Overall, I believe that if you have all three of these elements in a photograph, then you definitely have an amazing photo.
