Landscape Photography Composition: Minimalism

[@jackmartin1356]

"Slow down." Probably the best advice ever for photography -- even if you're shooting sports or parade. Thanks Andy!

[@AndyMumford]

Indeed it is. Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video

[@ibrahimesendir]

In a word, a complete training video. Perfect.

[@AndyMumford]

Hi Andy, I very rarely comment on videos but I must say that your content is really of excellent quality: It's always a visual pleasure and your advices are excellent. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

best landscape photographer channel on KZbin

[@AndyMumford]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@aiofilms]

What a huge body of great work in one episode! Never seen these many world-class landscape photographs in one video on KZbin. Mr. Mumford is my most admired and respected landscape photographer online, especially when you consider that he does not use exotic photo gear, not even a full frame camera, to get such brilliant results. Bravo!

Hello. I came across you while watching Fujifilm lens review videos. It is impossible not to subscribe from the first video I watched. You have excellent work, it is obvious that most of the photos you take are too wonderful to be real. The tips you give for manraza photography, camera settings, etc. are like a training course and very valuable.

[@AndyMumford]

Thanks again for the subscription, really glad you enjoy the videos

[@AndyMumford]

Thanks so much, really glad you found it useful

[@danlightened]

Magnificent photos, sir! While I love being in nature, I was finding it difficult to create great compositions after few years of doing photography. I gravitated towards street/architecture photography as they have a lot more compositional elements. And it wasn't it then I got my friend's telephoto lens that I realised that this was going to be my style. Over the years, I've shot with a similar philosophy, appreciated other's photos without exactly knowing why (beyond the rules of composition) and discussed about the things you talked about. But I couldn't put it in words the way you have. I think I have finally found a Role model.

[@AndyMumford]

Thanks so much for the comment 🙏

[@lucksonseltun4903]

Andy, apart from your skill at composition, your colour taste is just superb! Something one cannot acquire so easily. And it comes to you naturally.

[@AndyMumford]

[@ArpadAmbrus]

So inspiring looking at your photography and full of useful advice. Thank you so much! Not to mention that watching your videos makes one get that camera and go out and take photographs. That level of inspiration is paramount. Minimalism is also making one look more at the landscape and your use of telephoto is truly inspiring in a world where landscape photographers tend to just praise the ultrawide.

Stunning work for real. I would love to see your take on the more ‚casual‘, everyday kind of photography! Finding subjects midst lockdown for example

Thanks so much, Im glad you enjoy the video. I've been thinking about doing a lockdown related video, but not quite sure how to frame it. At the moment I'm mostly doing photographs with my phone when I'm out hiking just outside Lisbon (if you're interested you can see the Story Highlights on my Instagram channel) and was thinking about maybe putting something together around that.

An amazing video, thank you so much for sharing this. Such great insights and ideas to change our perception of our surroundings. I love minimalism photos, trying to find them is much more difficult than taking a general landscape image. I think more visual thought has to go into capturing the minimalistic views.

I also find them very relaxing to watch. I first stumbled across your channel a couple of years ago when I was desperately trying to learn a little about landscape photography before a big trip across South America. Your tips came in very handy and I was able to capture some memories that are very special to me from my journey. So thanks again Andy and all the best to you!

Hi Toby, thanks for taking the time to comment. It's nice to know you enjoy the videos and find them useful.
