Are you using this COMPOSITION technique from the masters?

[@mitchellkphotos]

Do you compose in layers? Have you noticed this technique in photos before? Can you see yourself using it the next time you’re out shooting?

[@odysseaschloridis4836]

Layering is definitely one thing that can your photography into the next level. It was a game-changer for me when I started noticing it.

[@SergioGVasco]

I have heard it before, not so clearly explained as you did here with this video. I thank you for that. May you and your loved ones fully enjoy the warmth, comfort and sense of fulfillment provided by the candles that light this holiday season. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

[@BonciuToma]

Really nice and informative video. Even though I knew the concept the video kept me right until the end :) All the best int he following year. You really got me with the photos from Breb, Maramures. You captured the feel of the place really well

[@unbroken1010]

You need to do a video on Alex Webb. Hands down the master of layers complicated composition and master storytelling

[@mayankkaloliya8249]

Great video man! Just watched it subscribed to your channel. But even after following your instructions about layers, which worked out great but still I am finding difficulty with colour tones of my images. Can you help me with that?

[@kumarrishabh3587]

I like how he adds the background SOUND EFFECTS while displaying the photos.

[@ssbrahma1682]

I too noticed that.. 😮😮🤔

[@bobincdas]

Your channel is soo underrated mate! You are simply a genius. The level of detail you go into is mind blowing. I hear all the little sound bits you add to tell the story of your photos. Mind blowing stuff!

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thanks so much. I try. Haha

[@adriank2406]

Your Videos are no less than amazing, everyone is beautifully crafted and just a pleasure to watch. I think you are the only channel i really learn something as a more experienced photographer, no camera reviews or the same boring content. Keep up the great work and merry chrismas!

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thanks. Really nice to hear this.

[@jyseninthecloud]

I love how you used sound effects that matches the photos. Very well done. Wonderful knowledge here, thank you for sharing. Subscribed!

[@marekeos]

I cannot say it enough. Mitchell again provides a great service to photographers of all levels. This 15min video has more info, is more relevant to learning photography than most of the garbage out there combined. Well done and straight to the point. This is truly refreshing to watch and listen to, unlike the usual "check out my gear" or "this camera/lens vs this camera/lens" garbage. Fantastic content Mitchell. You deserve 20x the subscriptions. Oh, and your photos speak for themselves!

[@Dufirowmsnfj]

This is more about soul and less about tech and mechanics. Thk you for that.

[@ThePhotographyHobbyist]

I think looking at great painting portraits is helpful too. You know, those wonderful lifelike portraits that were painted hundreds of years ago. It's always amazing to see what those skilled portrait artists could do back then. They often had great lighting and a great 'composition'.

[@mitchellkphotos]

Yes! I was gonna say, but then it's a whole other topic - how much we can learn from paintings.

[@noctilux5134]

0 talk about gear. This guy is awesome

[@LeoBaquero]

Thank you Sir, you`re a blessing to this world!

[@mitchellkphotos]

Haha. You are too kind. Thank you.

[@harmv5018]

This is one of the best videos I've seen on photography. Thanks for sharing.

[@bensun432]

Perfect again, really enjoyed this mini-series. Thank you for the inspiration and refreshing lessons!

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thanks for your time.

[@nikolatesla9384]

I think you are the type pf creator pne needs when gear and technical related info are just not enough. I wish more people understood what makes photography better is this kind of contect. New follower here from Chile. If you ever come just let me know. Cheers

[@Hic_Rhodus]

Hey Mitchell... This is another wonderful tutorial. I know it must be confusing seeing other, less thoughtful, "gear review" type videos registering such high viewing numbers. But I just wanted to say that I have watched a lot of youtube photography stuff... and I mean a lot... and you are, far and away, the best photographer and instructor I've come across. It is not even close. I'm not talking about my personal favourite. There are many youtube photo personalities that I enjoy tuning in to hear. But, in purely objective terms (as in, pedagogical content and photographic output) your uploads are in a league of their own. I know the aim of the game is ultimately hits and clicks... but sometimes high quality output just isn't made for mass clicks. Your videos take time to make but, for that same reason, they demand more time, attention and concentration from the viewer. Not everyone is really into that. Nonetheless, those youtube viewers who have followed your work on here (and, in real world teaching terms, they are actually very high numbers) have benefited far more from watching even one of your videos, than from watching hundreds of others. Anyway, I just wanted to express my own gratitude for all you've put up on your channel for free over the last long while. I hope you find the time to keep posting for many more years to come. Merry Christmas... and I look forward to seeing what exotic places you find yourself in in the New Year.

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thank you for your thoughtful and kind comment. All of this stuff is subjective of course. I probably wouldn't be doing KZbin if one of my videos didn't explode a couple of years ago. It's always nice having an audience. I'll be experimenting a lot and hope that the content will be useful. Thank you again! 🙂

[@davidcoelho9891]

Love the detail of the background sound while showing the pictures.

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thanks very much. Glad you noticed. :)

[@justjacobv]

Yeah, it's extra work, but it makes the video waaaay nicer. Cause human brain subconsciously makes the connection between the image and the sound, and it feels for the viewer like they are actually there. Love it. 👌

[@mitchellkphotos]

@@justjacobv yeh. That's definitely the idea. To give it all a bit more life and to engage the brain in different ways to help remember things better.

[@mmatiasautio]

One of the best if not the best video I've seen on composing! I feel like I really got a hint of why the masters' photos are so good. I feel super inspired to go and try to apply this technique. Extra points for excellent sound design! Thank you.

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thank you for your words and for watching.

[@bradleydahl5191]

I've been watching lots of YT for photography. I'm glad to say this video sort of took me by surprise. You explain the concepts so well - excellent job at teaching.

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thank you.

[@Old_Man_Jay]

You know, after watching this video I went back and looked at some of my best street photographs and I realized my favorite ones have the 3 layers as mentioned in this video, and I didn't even realize it! It wasn't something I was aware of until watching this video. I think this is very valuable information! Thanks a bunch for this!

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thanks for watching and for your input.

[@kykysknight3225]

amazing stuff as always.

[@balazspeter1721]

Thank you very much for your videos. I found your videos and in two days i watched all of them. Great work. Greetings from Hungary.

[@mitchellkphotos]

Awesome! Thank you. :)

[@daviddea3867]

Thanks again for another excellent video. Even though I've been into photography for years and been aware of this concept (and trying to practice it) for a long time, your presentation is a great reminder/refresher -- almost as if I'm hearing the concept for the first time. Very well done, as always.

[@mitchellkphotos]

That's good to hear. Sometimes that's all one needs. 🙂

[@Remy-ec8yw]

This is freaking awesome. Probably the best advice from KZbin I have ever taken and it is even free. Thank you so much and a happy new year to you and your family!

[@mitchellkphotos]

Haha. Thank you! Happy new year! 🙂

[@goldflowbro7340]

Appreciate the effort of putting in all those sound effects. Awesone Photographies!

[@mayhc9914]

My favorite on youtube!

[@vineetd1623]

Merry Christmas !!! Out of the box videos all the time.. thank you.

[@michaelmast_nomadicthrive]

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thank you!

[@brat54914]

Man you smart and talented 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 best wishes for you and love

[@kaspianbluec.8556]

While I seem to be stuck on this perpetual journey of mine, teaching myself this art of photography, over the last five years or so Ive watched quite a bit of tutorials here on utube. That being said, however, my hats off to you, Mitchellkphotos, as few videos have been able to explain these concepts, which you've shared herein', quite like you have. So with that, I say Thank You for taking to time to make and share this video.

[@acehanson7231]

Mitchell, Great traveler photography program. Really excellent work. Loved it from start to finish!! Especially the audio sounds of the scenes!!

[@elianaposada]

Great video!!!Thank you very much🤩

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thank you for your time. 🙂

[@rafaelharanaka6458]

Thanks again, Mitchell. Always an amazing class with amazing examples from your portfolio. Always spot on! I’ve purchased your Masterclass and for those who are wondering, just go for it. Worth every penny! Cheers from Brazil and happy hollyday season for you too!

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thanks so much Rafael!

[@ericwong1841]

Thank you for such an easy way to comprehend and the way you elaborated on such outstanding photos.

[@itsjohnthomas]

Thanks for the detailed video on layering! I’ve always generally done this as a photographer just because I like the sense of foreground elements to enhance a background, but I haven’t really seen other photographers/videos specifically on layering in composition. Something that I do think makes up an important part of a visual composition that’s interesting to look for in a story.

[@remeshmarangad]

Excellent images and very useful concept, Mitchell.! I regularly watch your videos and really appreciate your efforts. I noticed that my friends and critics love some of my photos more, and it was due to the idea of "visual weight" you described. Couldn't resist make the thumbs up button blue.! Thank you, and wishing you a great year 2020.! 😊

[@mitchellkphotos]

Great to hear that! All the best!

[@AsherSmithFilms]

this is the best photography video i have seen on youtube

[@donquique1]

Mitchell, I forced my wife to give your course as a christmas gift. I am very impressed with the quality of your ebooks. I am eager to start delving into the videos soon. You are my favorite photographer.

[@mitchellkphotos]

Haaaa! Thanks so much! 🙂

[@RameenFallschirmjager]

I really enjoyed this video. I've never thought pictures could have composition and tell a story with them.

[@justinrichardson3864]

Excellent content. The production value is also very strong. Kudos.

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thanks, Justin.

[@AGVME]

This might be one of the most important youtube videos I've seen. I've been doing portraits mostly for the last few years and probably occasionally accomplished a well-layered photo in the past. But this brings it all to the pre-thinking and planning phase. Really well done good sir, I'll be using this in the future for sure

[@ValKitsakis]

Very informative video! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! Extra points for taking the time to add sound effects that correspond to each photo you showed!

[@skolrelaterat4113]

Wonderful photos and great tips! I can tell there's a lot of work behind your results. Thanks for the inspiring video.

Maybe the most useful thing about photography that I have ever seen. Thanks, and also, really amazing photos.

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thank you very much.

[@RalphStriewski]

thks for the great work and the enjoyable mood you are creating.

[@fabienb]

Thanks a lot Mitchell for another great video. I believe composing with layers is absolutely key to great storytelling. I'm going through a period of minimalistic street photography right now, as I more and more lean on removing elements from my photos rather than adding them. I think this need of decluttering might have to do with living in chaotic London, but it is what it is. What I notice is that while this leads to technically good photos and well-selling fine art, often these photos do not represent the full picture and lack depth. As inspired as I always am by your videos, I'm going to try to go back to include a bit more in the scene, to present all the characters that make a good story. The great thing about going through these phases and styles (travel, landscape, street, black and white, minimalism, storytelling, ...) is that they are all immensely valuable lessons and make me a better photographer day after day. Thanks mate!

[@tubemapper]

I Agree. I'm in London too so I'm often trying to declutter. But I will purposely play with layers now if the opportunity presents itself

[@imamfauzie3867]

Thank you so much Mitchell. True inspiring!

[@wallflowerboy5778]

such useful tips for pro level composition, on par with books!

[@mychai9850]

Nice video! lovely touch on editing in the environmental sounds with each photos, its a powerful yet invisible layer!

[@berni9307]

The teaching was excelent and I am also really impressed by the photography ov the video itself. The part were you were in the car has such a great light and amazing colours.

[@VipulDK]

Wow! I have learned so much by watching this video. I can't wait to try out the learnings I have had through this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@mitchellkphotos]

Great! Get out there and shoot! 🙂

[@paulrichardson6]

Fantastic video Mitchell! It's great to see a video packed with information and great images, not just the usual "use the rule of thirds" advice that you get on most videos

[@mitchellkphotos]

Thank you. And yes. That's the idea. No need for another "composition" video.

[@iKeto_gal]

Very nice video!! Thank you for uploading and sharing your knowledge and experience :)

Great tutorial, it's highlighted a number of things I need to work on!

[@patrickelliott-brennan8960]

Just came across you video. Am at the 5:16 mark and have subscribed to you channel. In the 5:16 period I've noticed clarity, good graphics, focus on the point (no pun intended..well, maybe a little) and excellent choices in the photos you use. So while I've not watched the whole of the video yet, I'm impressed with what I've seen already :) Thanks enormously.

[@TehR2D2]

This is by far the best advise for everyone who wants to improve their photography.

[@anonymousonez]

Always fascinating content and photos. Thank you, Mitchell!

Hello Mitchell, I just purchased your course. I've been watching your videos quite often and your video was the reason why I purchased Lumix GX85 + Leica 15mm F1.7 as my 2nd Camera which I made a comment about it on your video about a year ago. I cannot wait to go through your video and PDFs to learn and become a better photographer. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate it.

[@mitchellkphotos]

I really appreciate your nice words and your support. Hope you enjoy. I'll be here continuing sharing. :)
