What do I think makes a successful photo?
The Photo
has a great Focal Point which stands out in the picture.
It has
great Monochrome and contrast which makes it stand out more clearly. Great
quality so that it looks professional and clear. The composition needs to be
perfect. It needs to create an emotional response that makes the viewer feel
something. It needs to be unique which makes it more special.
“Photography
for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at,
then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your
pictures.”―Don McCullin
