Of course photography is an art and therefore has a level of subjectiveness to it, and every photographer has different areas of strength/weakness. BUT some qualities of photography are NOT subjective, and SHOULD be present in all photos that clients are paying for. Qualities such as COMPOSITION, CLARITY, COLOUR and EXPOSURE. These...
