This talk will cover both the theory and practice of producing good photographs. Corneliu will consider a few theoretical aspects around what images tell us, looking at what one wants to convey, what needs to be included and how to engage the audience effectively. Rory will then move on to a discussion of practical elements in more depth, referring to photographs that he thinks make them worthy of notice and highlighting aspects of photography that can help one to take good photographs.
