What Makes A Good Photograph?

What Makes A Good Photograph?

Good photographs allow the viewer to be able to take something away from it. They will evoke some sort of emotion, leaving an impact on the way the viewer feels. The blog says that you should take pictures of what is exciting to you, because if you take pictures of something you aren’t passionate about it will be reflected in your work. I agree, because whenever you are really passionate about something you put a lot of work into it and you don’t want to see it go bad. If you were to take pictures of something that you don’t really care about then you wouldn’t be into perfecting it to make it worth the viewers time. Good photographs make people think; it’s not just about what is there in front of the picture, but rather the thought behind it and what you can take from it afterwards.

Best Photograph

This is my best photograph. I took this picture in my grandparents garden. I like this photograph, because I really like the color and the angles that go into it. I really like the focus and lighting on the flowers.
