Is the Creative Intent of a Photo important?
Sorry the original title was lacking. Years, maybe 2016 or 7, ago I attended a class field trip for sunset and night photos. A member asked something like " what settings should I use?" as an attendee I replied like What do you want accomplish? I don't remember the leades response with on or more settings. It took several years later that I new I asked the right question. And I didn't know the answer. However, today after experience, reading, videos and self critique, Joe Edelman answered it for me. Shutter speed, Aperture and ISO for brightness. Read the Joe Edelman article http://youtube.com/post/UgkxEFC3eBgHnuhMEuaUM_9RfMB4EOkQRBaP?si=sLUZKa2CAb9A0qqf What is important to you?

There are millions of photos out in the world! 99% are thoughtlessly sprewd across If fn snd other junque platforms and to the world great loss those photos are handled exactly like that: juneue and cute or important but without s thought or concern. Trash purveyors are looking for likes and nothing beyond. Even on sites here on the Skool platform these are posted with thoughtlessly. If there is something quirky or cool it's dispatched as a "Lucky Shot", Not second sight or skill. Wise up my fellow shooters. Show Respect and care for that shot. Just because it's free (assuming most are digital) doesnt mean it need be treated as junk. Show care and at least a modicum of pride! Im not sure about this comment but irregardless of iso shutter speed aperture, intend is the underscore of photography and when that becomes conscious shooters become better shooters!
Portraits and Subtext
The more you interconnect with your subject the greater insight u gain which then gives u cues on what direction to go in the photosession. I do deep listening. Its a skill u learn over time. In acting its called subtext. Have u ever seen the woody allen film Annie Hall? There's an important scene in the film where Woody and Annie Hall are having a conversation on one level and at the bottom of the screen our subtitles that show with their really thinking. If you practice you can hear what people are really saying underneath their words and that will give you insight into where to go with your photograph I know it sounds complex but it's just a matter of as I always say "being thoughtful" What stories or subtext lies beneath these images?

Lost treasure
The amazing thing is sometimes when u troll thru old work either on purpose or due to boredom; you may,as a pig digging for truffles, find a treasure. I found this image in a group of shots taken on the train Venice to Trieste. Ordinary color shot that cried out for black and white. The composition is perfect: a rare white truffle!
