My personal opinion is that, in photography, the content is the most important thing, followed by "artistic" qualities (e.g. composition), with the technical details being the least interesting part. However, the _process_ itself will always influence the end result. And this is where going all in with shooting film, and developing and printing by yourself, really effects one's photographs. I've never tried it (I can only shoot digital), but I've seen it described as a state of flow, from being hyper aware when taking the shot (since you have a limited amount), to having a sort of ritual when developing and printing. I really wish I could try it.
