Just hopped on the discord.... Nice one fam💪🏾

"Nice and flat just like my butt" got me subscribed to your channel

Great video! The tip about focusing on only four elements really hits home. I've been using boost app social lately, and it's been helping me to keep things clean and essential on my posts. The AI writing tools even make my captions minimalist!

[@W.Aurora]

Their writing tools are fire and it makes everything cohesive.

[@jeric3857]

just an advice from a burntout creator. if u shoot photos to grow in a specific platform then go do it. but if you're taking photographs that YOU aren't HAPPY with, i guess u should stop. these trends come and go and honestly when it eventually does, you'll feel lost if it's not ur true style. anyways, this youtuber is so underrated.

[@whoschrischu]

this is so true. I think a lot of people can analyze the IG trends and follow suit, but it's not necessarily beneficial to creativity, let alone identity. Mad love

[@jeric3857]

@@whoschrischu accurate!! 💞

[@eduardochavacano]

Well he is a minimalist. Why would he want to more more subscribers?

[@jeric3857]

[@TMSProductions]

This video was very satisfying to watch for some reason. Awesome video, lots of great information!

[@whoschrischu]

Glad it helped! I vibe with y'all's content too on filmmaking

[@ezekielnduli5181]

I'm watching it for the first time. And as I type this I'm playing it a third time.

[@ash-211-q8j]

Yeah it almost had a Wes Anderson film vibe with the yellow on-screen text and his clothing color palette

[@Hueguh]

Class is in session. So many clean photos 🤤

[@whoschrischu]

Mad honored coming from the Minimalist KZbinr, himself

[@g.aloysie8439]

I don't know why but I really love minimalism images, they just give me so much peace

[@eduardochavacano]

you get peace, until you cant stop talking about your peace to everyone.

[@et8953]

Maybe staring at a paper could give u the same feeling.

[@minimalistdanse]

@@et8953 right like staring at a miniature house.

[@ciarav]

Great vid! "Less is more" - totally agree. The minimalism itself adds the art and drama into the photo.

[@alberto9827]

This is the first video I have seen from you (recommended page) and ngl I am very impressed that you do not have more views + subs. 10/10 content. Right to the point, good energy, nice set up + video editing, no bs, good photos to show, nice explanation, no cringe stupid stuff, just professional. Keep at it dude, you gain 1 more sub hahaha you make awesome content!

[@whoschrischu]

hey thanks, man. I really appreciate it. I really value efficiency + information density over anything (while sneaking in dumb jokes here and there). I was very irked by the "Top 5 Things..." videos that are full of vlog fillers in between tips

[@alberto9827]

@@whoschrischu yeah I got tired of those videos as well and to find new content is very refreshing but difficult. Moreso if you do not have a lot of time to see a 10-20 min video full of noise inbetween the "good" stuff. You have a great mindset, I hope more people find value in your work!

[@shaneikiyasteel7073]

I've never known what Minimalist shots were, but now that I know how to identify them I do find them to be very interesting and "seemingly' easy to do. I think it would definitely be something I'm interested in attempting. These tips were great in my opinion because when I apply them to the Minimalist Photographers I follow, I see these tips applied in their work.

[@umbrellasan5363]

Dude I turned on CC and the auto translation is catching everything he said, his enunciation is so good

[@yuyunyuditya8783]

Even without caption its loud and clear! English is not my main language, but I understand him.

[@Rielcool]

When I was training photography assistants my very first lesson was not to think about what you included in the frame but what you could eliminate and still capture the subject effectively.

[@iansteenblock5010]

I really liked the point that everyone knows what a car looks like, so you don't have to show the whole thing. I forget that often. I take a lot of pictures where it's not the whole item, but it's also not focused on a detail - just half of a car, or something. It would be really interesting to challenge myself to go out and take pictures of JUST the taillight or JUST the wheel - stuff people know but might be more interesting than pictures of a whole car.

[@rafaelespindola3208]

The best photography content on youtube

[@whoschrischu]

ooooo I don't deserve that praise haha but thanks anyways

[@gamekahero]

You have a great voice for KZbin my man 💯

[@clayjsumner]

The part about color combination was really interesting, definitely going to implement that into my photography...no one really talks about it even though its pretty important for a well composed shot.

[@curtypachec6055]

dang this was the most informative photography vid I've watched in so long

[@whoschrischu]

I'm honored!!!

[@whatpollyreads5979]

Lesson learned : As long as the environment seems as smooth as his bott , just shoot your shot

[@lburger404]
