Is good photography really completely unrelated to contrast and
exposure?

Here's an exception:

"Good photography is not about 'Zone Printing' or any other Ansel Adams
nonsense. It's just about seeing. You either see, or you don't see. The
rest
is academic. Photography is simply a function of noticing things.
Nothing
more." - Elliott Erwitt
