Without a doubt, this is the question I am asked the most, whether in my photography workshops around the world, at the slide-talk lectures I present to groups from six to five thousand people, or in the countless photography classes at my online school (BPSOP.com). Is it the technical aspects of an image—lens choice, exposure, point of view, composition? Yes, those things are important. But ultimately what makes a great photograph is the intention behind the image. What did the photographer intend to capture? And was that intention made obvious and compelling for the viewer? A great photograph is one that brings joy or sadness to not only the photographer but others as well. In effect, a great photograph is one that makes us feel deeply. Over the past forty-five years, I have taught thousands upon thousands of enthusiastic and passionate amateur photographers, and the methodology of my workshops generally follows the same format. After a meet-and-greet, we spend the next two, five, or more days together photographing various scenes. As we do this, it is common for me, following a student’s attempt to photograph a given scene, to take their camera and photograph what we affectionately call the “Bryan Peterson version” of the same scene, showing small changes that produce the kind of photograph they had hoped to achieve. (I use their camera so that they can keep my images as teaching tools.) Sometimes I adjust exposure fundamentals, such as aperture choice or shutter speed. At other times, it’s about shifting the point of view or waiting just a few more moments (or, in some cases, hours) for the “right” light. By showing them my version of the same scene or guiding them to an improved version of their own, we bridge that little bit of distance in their ongoing journey toward making compelling photographs. It’s often only a simple adjustment that is needed to make an ordinary image extraordinary, one that will stop the viewer in their tracks, inspiring shock, laughter, or tears—in other words, moving the emotional meter. This book brings you inside that workshop process, sharing more than eighty student photographs that missed the mark (sometimes by mere inches), each paired with a more successful versio
