Whenever I turn on your Channel, I look at my work from a different perspective in a different, better light. My pictures come to life at least in my eyes. You encourage creativity. Love this channel. Thanks.

[@ThePhotographicEye]

Love that! Thank you for watching

[@ladymary22]

I also appreciate how the essential words contribute to the art

Thank you

I've been looking at Jay Maisel lately and I do believe I fall more in line with his take on photography. "Light, Gesture, Color" and "It's not about the F-stop", are great books of his. His main theme in his photography is, photograph what moves you. It does not matter about the rules, for if it moves you then it will most likely move others. Photograph the tiny, the large and everything in between.

jay transformed my photog. his pic sits next to my desk in my studio. the best.

Once again much food for thought . Recently I’ve been published for the first time in a book about Cornwall in the UK . The way I began to see photography has changed since I started watching your channel Alex and I’m sure all the things that I’ve learned certainly helped my process immensely . Can’t thank you enough . I believe it’s the must watch photography channel on KZbin . Please keep making these vids . Wishing you a wonderful weekend . Cheers Gary

You too, Thank you

I learn something beyond the camera, I learn the “how “ of story, the common sense of it all, and

Not only your knowledge, but also your voice !! Wow

[@ThePhotographicEye]

Thanks a lot 😊

If we're talking about art and not just commerce, the most important thing is missing here, and it is what is most difficult, most satisfying, and most valuable.

Great video. Contrary to current opinion, the essential skills to create great images are in your head and grow with experience and not with a new camera or lens. This is also called “craft” and applies to any creative endeavour.

[@brianm.9062]

love it, so deep and given freely. images........ neat, there is so much difference between an image and a photograph. Thanks Alex, and once again thanks.

[@ThePhotographicEye]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sonica1111]

thanks for sharing your knowledge, your colour grading is amazing, what do you use to grade your videos?

[@christopherward5065]

Thanks for another brilliant set of observations on the grammar of photography. Well said!

[@ThePhotographicEye]

Many thanks!

[@gregpantelides1355]

I really enjoying how you explore the more subtle aspects of photography. This really helps me to see and develop my voice further. Thank you so much!

Thanks! Love this channel. First time I've ever sent money to a KZbinr!

Awesome, thank you!

Great teaching techniques Using the verbal and then images to illustrate the lecture.

[@ThePhotographicEye]

Many thanks!

Quality Alex, a word I love is Equivalence, there is an interesting essay by Minor White, to be found on line.

[@WolfQuantum]

Great video as usual approaching the heart and why of photography. It took me a little to realize so many of those images were yours. Some really excellent work. It occurred to me as I was writing this that perhaps there is something we should strive for that would lift our photography. Don't try to make photographs or pictures. Work instead to create images. Something visual that visually, even emotionally, lifts itself out of the frame and connects with the viewer on a more esoteric level.

[@ThePhotographicEye]

Many thanks!

[@okundiaobazee3888]

How's it how's it Alex, Gabriel here; Thank you for this great video. It is by far and out the best I've seen this year. And I would also appreciate if you could do a video on STUDIUM and PUNCTUM of a photograph. Thank you.

[@GJSsongsmith]

Thanks

[@DPImageCapturing]

Excellent video Alex, CHEERS!

[@ThePhotographicEye]

Many thanks!

[@seaeagles6025]

Hi Alex, Another great video as always, great point when you said we have to be careful how we use colour. I neglect the colour Blue in my photography but now i will certainly include it, in combination with the bright colours. Loved the photo of the Mustang from Tyler Clemmensen, and i felt like eating an Orange after i saw that picture of the Orange. Some great advice there, thanks for this great video. 😃

[@ThePhotographicEye]

That’s awesome. Thank you for watching

[@seaeagles6025]

Thanks for sharing

May I argue that, since postmodernism has shifted the ground under photography's feet, to think of composition is perhaps a thing that be I would grab with a pair of pliers.

[@jasongold6751]

I don't have to imagine Paris! Any modern city! Toronto is building skyscapers every fluffin block! Parks are shrinking. Soon like LA, wher it looks like a park.. But it's decor! Hoorible. Mies VanDer Roher has much to answer for.. Great video.

[@wkuhlewind8928]

Tell me about “ gesture.” I’ve heard photographers speak about, but don’t really have a grasp of it. Thanks you.

[@sacriste]

First one.

[@sujanbhandari1286]

I miss Composition in the chapters

I wish i could message you on the side, but i just want to let you know the audio for this video is a bit low. Hope im not rude. Thanks

[@ThePhotographicEye]

Thank you for your comment

[@MatsLindfors]

What about rythm? I think a good photograph should have a rythm.

I hope that you will cover Arthur Tress one day. It's surprising how little info is there about him and his work, and yet he's one of the best photographers out there IMO.

Before you start photographing, you need to know one thing. Fundamentals 🫡
