What makes a good photo?

Ever wondered what truly makes a photograph stand out? In this video, we dive deep into the elements that transform a simple image into a powerful, memorable photograph. From storytelling and emotion to light, composition, and the often-elusive “evocative” quality, we explore why some photos resonate deeply while others fade into the background. Drawing on insights from legendary photographers and philosophical concepts like Roland Barthes’ "studium" and "punctum," this episode helps you understand not just the technical aspects, but also the emotional and personal connections that define great photography.
