Agree and don’t agree

I agree, light is important for a photo. Even pour light too much light etc subjectivity what it is you’re trying to achieve.

The more I’m learning about and experimenting with photography, the more I’m starting to discover that the definition of a “good” photo has 2 sides.

A technically good photo meaning things like focus, dof, exposure, etc etc
Initially I thought that if it’s sharp, proper exposure etc determine if the photo is good or not.

But lately I’m starting to understand that light, exposure, focus etc etc are only tools available to create the photo that you have in mind. They are tools to allow you to create Then a good photo is determined by composition, expression, location, subject, uniqueness etc etc. Photography then becomes creating rather then recording.

In my humble beginners view, light is an element that works equally strong on both sides. Both technical and emotional are heavily influenced by light.

Do yeah I agree light is very important but equal to 3-4 other big result determining factors.

Ps in short; I LOVE THE PHOTO

should try to get the best out of any scene, and that a good photo is not an everyday occurrence. Evaluating and figuring out what one wants from / for a particular situation might take some trial & error... A chicken and egg question... a matter of s...
