166: Ethan Deshaies - Defining What Makes a Good Photograph

Welcome to episode 166 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.

This week's episode features an "up-and-comer" named Ethan Deshaies. 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. 

Ethan and I discuss some interesting topics, including:

• What makes a photograph good or bad?
• Concrete definitions of good and bad as it relates to art.
• Dimension, Depth, and Intrinsic Beauty.
• Defining art.
• ... and much, much more

I hope you enjoy our conversation!

Here are the people that Ethan recommended for the podcast:

1. Jeff Lewis.

2. Rob Visser.

Other items mentioned on the show:

1. NPN Free 60-Day Trial.

2. Richard Wong's contact for his article idea, based on his 10-year old article.
