Ethan Deshaies - Defining What Makes a Good Photograph

<p>Welcome to episode 166 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.</p> <p>This week's episode features an "up-and-comer" named <a href='https://www.instagram.com/ethandeshaies/?hl=en'>Ethan Deshaies</a>. Ethan is a 20-year-old college student studying abroad in New Zealand (lucky!) and has some fresh perspectives on photography as an art-form. I think this episode is a nice compare and contrast with the ones we have done with more well-established photographers that have been around since before the digital revolution in photography. </p> <p>Ethan and I discuss some interesting topics, including:</p> <ul><li>What makes a photograph good or bad?</li> <li>Concrete definitions of good and bad as it relates to art.</li> <li>Dimension, Depth, and Intrinsic Beauty.</li> <li>Defining art.</li> <li>... and much, much more</li> </ul> <p>I hope you enjoy our conversation!</p> <p>Here are the people that Ethan recommended for the podcast: 1. <a href='https://landescapevisuals.com/'>Jeff Lewis</a>.</p> <p>2. <a href='https://robvisserphotography.nl/'>Rob Visser</a>.</p> <p>Other items mentioned on the show:</p> <p>1. <a href='https://www.naturephotographers.network/f-stop/'>NPN Free 60-Day Trial.</a></p> <p>2. <a href='https://www.rwongphoto.com/contact/'>Richard Wong's contact</a> for his article idea, based on his <a href='https://www.rwongphoto.com/gallery/top-10-influential-nature-photographers-alltime/'>10-year old article</a>.</p> <p>I love hearing from the podcast listeners!
