such an enjoyable and educational video. Keep em' coming

[@colebreiland2682]

Speaking to the philosophical and psychological reasons for using these techniques, rather than purely the effect on composition was most helpful.

I really enjoy your videos! you've got a really natural way of communicating ideas and even though I only take photos of aviation rather than people, I get a lot from watching.

Great tips, thank you.

Good video. I like that concept of using a foreground object to add interest to either negative or non-compositional space within a frame. - clever. I also like that quote from Susan Sontag - it's so obvious when you say and yet feels like a revelation. I'm inspired to put together a session on the subject of voyeurism - cheers for that.

[@dphog]

Yup, I think it's great to understand and not just be vaguely aware. Voyeurism is a very interesting topic that makes for some great story telling. Have a full time project / series that you always build on - you will be amazed

[@tjbender5728]

Such great content

[@dphog]

Thanks TJ

[@ciprianvalparaiso]

i greatly enjoy your channel.thank you for doing this..i just wonder why are you using such big values for iso

[@dphog]

Apologies, 2:50 to 3:00 is a 5Ds not 5D Mk II

[@imagesbeyondtheice]

I love using foreground objects, and the possibilities are endless on what to put/hold in front of the camera. Great video and inspiration as always Clinton. Could I ask what size that Octabox is (at 3:19)? Is it the 140cm? Cheers, Eivind

[@clintonlubbe8447]

Hi Eivind, it's a 120cm. I find anything bigger to be clumsy on location. The other thing is that sometimes as little as a 60cm softbox is enough to balance the available light. Results are just as beautiful.

[@imagesbeyondtheice]

Great, thank you, and keep up the excellent work!

[@Wuuser]

Hei, thanks for some fresh ideas :)
