Composition vs Visual aesthetics

Set by the tone, dynamic range of light in your photo, the grain, the colours, the monochrome tones, the contrast, brightness, etc. The aesthetic is determined by your perspective, the camera and lens you use, the type of sensor (or film) in the camera, what time of day you shoot the photograph, the lighting, whether you choose to shoot with a flash, if shooting digitally, whether you shoot in RAW or JPEG, how you decide to post-process your photos and much more of the exhaustive details you will learn to pay attention to, as a professional photographer.
