>>3994477I photograph what catches my eye without much conscious thought.
As you say though, I (mostly) unconsciously pursue the same goals in my photographs.
>is it beautiful, interesting, or otherwise worth taking a photo>is the composition simple enough to "get" what I'm actually taking a picture of>are there annoying distractions that I could avoid getting in frame>is there a better spot to stand in to capture everything in one shot>do I need to stand closer/farther away for cropping or "flattering" the subject>is the subject standing out - thanks to being brighter, having leading lines pointing at it, the background behind it being extremely flat/simple, etc>rule of thirds>3/4ths view>does everything around the edges have "room to breathe" or are they being crowded/cut off by the edges of the frame>how barren vs busy should the scene appear in my photo>do the colors compliment each other>are there interesting visual textures>are there repeating patterns or shapes>is there a impressive sense of scaleThe only process I've been trying to implement to my photography recently is to stop being blinded by emotion and taking snapshits as "proof I was there" when traveling. Unless it's a selfie or something for social media, I've been trying to make all my tourist photos stand on their own merit as photographs.
