Election time is an important time.  After reading a brief snippet about how Forbes creates its top 200 most brand valuable companies, I got to thinking about what formulas do we use in our photography when we assign a photograph a star value of 1-5. Is there a basic structure to our photographic approach that defines what we think is desirable in an image? If there is a unified approach, what elements would we consider in making that 5-star image decision? For me, many of the most valuable photographs have not monetary value. They are valuable for other reasons. Furthermore, many of my 5-start images might not be the "best" technical images, but they are the ones I can connect with on a deeper level. This week's podcast looks at how we approach and think about our rating systems for our images.  As always, I hope you and yours are safe, and please remember to keep safe and wear your mask.   Get the VIP Pass Get the Free Access Pass
