To interview someone of the stature and talent of Huntington Witherill without sounding patronising, ill-informed, or a total idiot takes a very intelligent interviewer who knows how to ask the interesting questions, give the interviewee room to discuss, and to show his understanding of the points raised by the interviewee. A brilliant interview and very enjoyable video with a master photographer and a master interviewer.

[@marcsilber]

Thaks Mark, I appreciate that! My secret is asking questions that I really want to know more about, especially his take on the subject. Stay tuned for the AYP book where many of these points are covered.

[@daveed4475]

I’m really glad I found your channel. Thanks for doing this!

His images are out of this world the tones are beautiful. well done.

[@Don-md6wn]

I consider myself a pretty advanced landscape photographer until I see somebody like Mr. Witherill who is truly a master. Those first couple of images are things I would not have seen and taken my camera out for had I walked right past them. That first photo of a puddle looks like it could have been a big landscape from Canyonlands or Zion. That's what I thought it was when I first saw it. Thanks for the video. I got more out of it than a hundred of the videos from young photographers doing the same old stuff. I have subscribed.

[@marcsilber]

thanks Don, he is a master and expalins his craft well, stay tuned for more!

[@Nat.ImagesLarge.F.Photographer]

Fine art photography,marvelous work!!!

[@billgreen4514]

Great technique and composition, I love to hear him talking about his work, thanks for this video.

[@FairestGIDsvanhetwOu]

Far the best advice I ever heard, and will influance myself for the rest of my life, btw great questions with genuine wurthfull answers.Thanks a lot

[@mbwindows7]

I could listen to this guy talk all day!

[@marcsilber]

We love interviewing him!

[@jeg569]

Stunning visualisations, beautiful tones 👍

[@philparks8074]

Wow, very inspiring work! Huntington Witherill has a new fan.

[@marcsilber]

He tackles some big questions - like what visualization means to him, giving us advice from Edward Weston and Minor White in particular. He shows us some of his images and talks through how and why he captured them, giving some big insights into composition.

[@csilt]

Nice, I've never heard of this photographer but based on what I've seen in this video I really like his work. Between his aesthetic, the grand piano and his obvious mastery of the medium he's a great successor of the master himself Ansel Adams.

[@marcsilber]

👍

[@hayfield43]

The best explanation of visualization I've heard. I always thought it meant seeing the final image before you see the scene. That never made sense to me. This does, though.

[@marcsilber]

Glad to hear! It’s so important to fully grasp that concept and put it into use

[@asheeshkchopra]

Amazing , inspiring work!

[@powershot70]

Amazing photos, something definitely to aspire to.

Hi Mark: Thanks for this interview and exposure to this creative photographers perspective of the strongest way of seeing. These scenes reminds me of some of our Pacific High School field trips into the Sierra and Deserts of California. Fred

Thank you for sharing those real tips of being a good photographer. Cheers from Brazil.

[@marcsilber]

+Rômulo Silva thank you for watching! Where in Brazil are you?

[@romulosilva709]

I`m from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. South of Brazil. :)

[@marcsilber]

+Rômulo Silva muito ncie uma Eu quero visitar um dia ! Você já viu muitos o nossos vídeos ? Você encontrá-los úteis ?

[@romulosilva709]

Nice! Yeah I love your videos. I think they are very useful for learning what photography represents, not about equipment or techniques, but the passion on it.

[@marcsilber]

+Rômulo Silva that's great! Would you like to help us get them translated to Portuguese and help more photographers see them?

[@roberthughes9773]

The biggest help he could give would be to state what the approx ISO, F stop, and shutter speed are for each shot?

[@ekundefekundef9719]

Amazing content here :)

absolutely fascinating, just a shame it was so short.

[@Paul_C83]

Thats great, thankyou.

[@jaredhill4891]

this is a real photographer, and he's not on instagram doing some meaningless shit as are all these instagram "photographers"

[@dalemews1]

There's quite a few rules and techniques that can aid composition, but gifted photographers like Huntington certainly have an artistic eye for capturing compelling compositions which raises their photography to a true art form. Great interview as always Mark. Check out an incredibly talented Scottish landscape and travel photographer Bruce Percy www.brucepercy.co.uk. I'm sure you'll love his minimalist almost abstract style.

[@marcsilber]

+dalemews1 you're right, and I'm hoping to explore with them what caught their eye so we can all learn from them . Thanks for the link to Bruce's site, beautiful work

[@hlnwrd7376]

Good video but showing the actual photo with Ken Burn (moving)..don't let us appreciate the composition.

[@sealand000]

The videographer had way too much coffee. But the content is great.

[@TheFlowMind]

Have you ever find yourself in a beautiful place and didn't manage to get a good composition. I've just finished travelled the Scottish Highlands and saw amazing landscape. Well my photos are not particularly great. They look like snapshot even if I played around with composition capturing many photos of the same scene. It seemed like whatever my angle was nothing seemed good.

[@marcsilber]

sorry to hear. I'm actually writing a book to help you and in the short term I suggest you look at the work of artist that you admire and carefully look at how they achieved their effect. Then go out and try it yourself.

[@TheFlowMind]

Yep! I'll try!

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

Hey, I will let you in on a little secret.....ITS NOT A SECRET IF YOU TELL EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marcsilber]

[@lukeconleyluke]

Not really a fan of his photos... interesting to hear from the experts tho

[@marcg3923]

and how is he considered a good photographer, i don't get it
