The Most Important Technique You'll Ever Learn About Composition - Photography Visual Patterns #6

[@diosmiosalome3663]

the cherry blossom picture is really beautiful. it looks like it was painstakingly painted at first glance and the gentle colors are oh so lovely

[@Jossy.mp4]

Pat Kay is a gem to this generation of photographers! he revives concepts that amateur photographers often underrate and never use.. myself included.

[@patkay]

haha glad you're getting value out of it!

[@franciszek_jozef]

That was great, you gently introduced the idea of hierarchy with everyday examples and proved it with tour photos, which are awesome btw. Keep that series going man

[@patkay]

thanks for watching!

[@KyleByquist]

Pat I just wanted to tell you how helpful these videos have been - the Framing one in particular - but it’s changing the way I see things

[@aine.no23]

Thanks for this series!

[@feydanmedia]

Sitting down respectfully with a cup of tea…taking in this free amazing information to better my knowledge. Thank you for sharing.

[@gasserabousaif]

I've learned so much from this series alone than all of the photography tutorials and "rules" that I've seen. Phenomenal content, Pat!

[@MrTroyChilds]

Again, I can't believe content this powerful is available for free in the palm of our hands. Thank you so much for not only doing what you do but also having the talent to be incredibly eloquent with your lessons. Thank you so much for being a force of positivity and inspiration in this world.

[@patkay]

my pleasure! cheers for the good vibes 🤙

[@DavidOkwii]

Great series here. Confirms why technique trumps tools any day. So thanks for the tips and techniques

[@happyducky1143]

Thank you so much for this series. This is, by far, the best source of compositional information I’ve found, digitally and in reference books. I love ALL your videos, and each of your images are striking and evocative. Thank you.

[@Havenotats]

Playing with negative space and textures in a composition is my favourite way to elevate an image & I can see you place importance on this as well Pat. Sydney photographers all the way ✌️

[@patkay]

negative space especially; an irreplaceable staple in my work :)

[@toanao1894]

The amount of knowledge compressed in this video is huge! Tks for sharing❤❤❤

[@ajaypremshankar]

Thanks!

[@nicksimon1211]

Most of these patterns are concepts I’ve always known but have never been able to put words to them. Your way of explaining things is incredible. Can’t believe these videos are free. Thank you for all the value. This channel has helped me so much.

[@egor_nvkv]

I was renting out a 70-200 the other day, and since it was my first time shooting with a telephoto lens, for most compositions I would get a 70-100-135-200 series of images. Being able to compare different crops of one photo really made me think about the same things you talk about in this video. Now back to shooting with primes!

[@TheAssaschan]

Fantastic video Pat, nobody's broken it down this well in such an easily digestible format. A huge thankyou!

[@magso6876]

your videos are amazing, I actually use visual hierarchy in my instagram feeds to compose a history and a visual pattern so everything is in balance, this was so informative, thanks!!

[@kaietaro]

Fantastic series man, I really learned a lot. Please consider doing a paid course with critiques, I'm sure there would be tons of people interested in taking it.

[@Tom-li9xq]

And tons of people who can't

Hell yeah its back, my job can wait more 18 minutes

lmaoo hope it was worth it

Thanks,!

thank you!

[@correavelez]

Hi Pat. I've been watching this series and although I do understand visual hierarchy, visual patters, etc. How do you go about it when you are out taking pictures. Things happen in seconds and subjects won't wait for you to build the photo around all the visual cues exposed here. My questions come from a place of miss-alignment between camera use knowledge and artistic development as I'm trying to find that sweetspot where I know that camera settings will take care of themselves while I intentionally work on a subject. Sometimes I feel that most pictures happen randomly and that the photographer was lucky to be there at the right time with a camera.

[@spicerstudios]

@patkay what made you switch from Product/Interaction Design to Photography?

[@matthewriley3778]

Pat Kay probably has an N1 in visual language even if his Japanese is N4

[@patkay]

...now if i could only be bothered to N1 my Japanese 😅

[@Tom-li9xq]

I heard it for the first time, what exactly is N1/N4 ?

[@matthewriley3778]

@@Tom-li9xq N5 is the basic level of a Japanese fluency test. N1 is the top tier.

very interesting

[@griffincherry7748]

Can you do a tutorial on how you cull through photos? I always end up with too many of the same photos when it comes down to editing. I end up getting discouraged to edit because I end up with so many photos to edit

[@patkay]

i won't be including much lightroom content on the channel because i have a course coming soon that covers it!

[@egor_nvkv]

I shoot on a tripod most of the time so I have 3-4 photos of most compositions. The easiest way for me to get to the "best" one is comparing two at a time and rejecting the one I like less until there's only one left.

[@kaneshirosan1642]

Hey pal, just curious what focal length lens do you primarily use when travel around Japan? Do you prefer primes or the versatility of zooms?

[@patkay]

i have a video that covers most of that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKeplIuJrp1rndE

[@evertking1]

@@patkay well played

[@ShueFig]

From what i understand, maybe this could be classified as a “meta” pattern too! Other patterns concern themselves with the physical actual content, this pattern tends to utilise those other patterns to form a “mental idea” of the hierarchy in the viewers mind

can i ask what type of photographs do you take

[@Ba143Sa]

Hi Pat What is that font?

[@bioliv1]

I'm an expert at visual harakiri.

[@FlosBlog]

I always shiver at when people say "Its subjective" to prevent discussion about anything (like you did about which of the first two pictures is better). If it weren't subjective we would not have to discuss about it, would we? It would be obvious, it would be objective. :D

[@ColeScottPhoto]

Nice. Hierarchy not withstanding, the one shot is more interesting with the bird and pole, and visually, people almost always trump trees. I saw them first ;-)

[@ziadkassas1332]

Hi Pat ! Amazing series! Was wondering in your patreon private community if it's possible to sometimes get your feedback on some of our images? Thanks :)

[@patkay]

perhaps maybe in the private Discord channel, but i don't want to make it a regular thing because it'll take up way too much of my time if everybody asks for it. perhaps one day i'll make something a little more scalable though!

[@indeepaherath6920]

here is another example of how shadow parts arent as visually attractive as bright parts... you guys didn't notice 3 guys in the shadow inside the cherry blossom photo right? (check bottom right)
