>>3868118>Why is this considered good? Looks like a snapshit to me.Just at a quick glance, I see a shot that evokes a very interesting backstory between those two. She's looking stone-faced forward, he's glancing over at her with a weird expression on his face. His nose is all bandaged up like he was just in a fight. Is she pissed off at him because he was fighting? Is that look him wondering if he's gonna be able to patch things up? Or is he thinking that she deserves a pop in the nose, too? Maybe he's evaluating if she was worth fighting for.
And the blur and grain all through the shot give it a very captured-moment-in-time aesthetic. It would still be good with a less-grainy film, but not *as* good, and I honestly think it would be worse without the motion blur. It centers the man as very much the subject of the shot, with everything but his look and his hand on the controls of the car in various levels of dreamlike blur.
If you're evaluating it for things like classical composition or "good technique" to get a sharp picture, obviously it's going to come up wanting. But if you're looking at it as a piece of artwork that's conveying a feel and an emotion, it's pretty amazing.
And you might still disagree with all of that, and that's fine--art is subjective--but you can't disagree with the fact that OTHER PEOPLE see all of that in this photo, even if you personally don't.
