Genuinely curious where people land on this. Some of the most memorable photos in history are technically flawed, blurry, poorly exposed, oddly framed, yet still hit harder emotionally than a perfectly composed, sharp shot of something forgettable

Technical skill gets you competent, timing and emotion get you memorable, those are honestly two different skill sets entirely
Normal is overrated

A slightly blurry photo of a real, unguarded moment beats a perfectly sharp posed shot every time for me personally
