Why changing the way you see will improve your photography.

NEW Photo Book Out of Darkness. 160 pages, 132 images, forewords by William Neill and Joe Cornish: expressive.photography/out-of...

Many landscape photographers struggle with their photography, whether it is technical, or compositional. In this video I look at ways we can improve the way we see to make the landscape a place much more full of opportunities than less. Regardless of the weather, cloud cover, time of day, or conditions.

Fantastic resonant video yet again Alister. Esp about remaining happy in the landscape:) Best wishes to you & All for 2024. Cheers. Marco

[@Juliaredlphotography]

I am looking forward for your next videos

[@Alister_Benn]

Thanks so much

[@emilyanoakes7543]

Another great video Alister, thank you.

[@dwrisdon2487]

Wowzers, I got to be your first like today. You always embed some deep question within your narrative. To me, the one for this week is whether photography is a metaphor for life or is life a metaphor for photography? The challenges, the stumbles, the elation and yes, the failure. Hopefully, you'll share some of your Asturian adventure. Perhaps convey some insight into what a Allister guided photo-adventure looks like. Best, Bill

Thanks so much for the great feedback, really appreciate that. The answer to your question is both, they hold mirrors up to each other, if we allow it.

[@esanford]

Very Well indeed and I am a happy member of the Expressive Photography Community.... thanks for a very introspective video....

[@Alister_Benn]

And thank you Ed, as we’ve got to know each other I believe we both grow from that. Really appreciate the feedback, thank you

Always love your videos. You have a way to speak that is very deliberate and well thought out. Like, what your saying is exactly what you're thinking. And more importantly, feeling. Thanks for all that you do.

Exactly, attitude generates unexpected and fascinating results ❤️

[@MaciejMarkiewicz]

Love that one :) Thank you for the inspiration

[@kurtkuznicki6207]

Awesome video! Great to take a deeper dive into the five triggers. I am headed out in a few days for a photo trip to the Mojave Desert, so the timing of this piece couldn’t be better. Thanks Man! K.

[@howardallen5390]

Excellent video, you’re definitely at the top of your game with your enthusiasm for photography shining through.

Will do, even in the rain we had a great day

[@ralfkrahe2493]

Alister, As always, deep and insightful. Looking forward to my copy of your book … Happy trails and safe travel to Spain.

[@Alister_Benn]

Thank you so much, first day of the workshop tomorrow and we all arrived safe and well.

[@martinoberstein8431]

Thank you, Alister, for this motivating content, enjoy your time in Spain!

[@Alister_Benn]

Many thanks for the great feedback, I appreciate it

[@lukekeady6851]

Thank you so much for sharing such valuable information Alister. I really relate to this content. Much appreciated. Fantastic work.

[@Alister_Benn]

Brilliant, very happy to hear that

[@pascalthiebaud]

Nice video where we learned how to look at landscape. These 5 triggers changed my view and my photography. Thanks Alister.

[@Alister_Benn]

Thanks buddy, I really appreciate you and your feedback

[@nickshepherd8377]

You naturally need to be aware of the 5 key attributes but these really can only come into play if you have a deep relationship with the subject in the first place. Wandering around finding that captivating moment is key to relaxing and enjoyable photography…but I don’t need to tell you that! Have a great time in Spain with Adam 😀

[@derricksansome236]

Brilliant presentation Alister. Unfortunately my finances are limited and membership is not a viable option for me but I always attribute my joy in being in the landscape with my camera to your tuition via this KZbin channel. I never now go out with any expectations other than that I will have a good time and probably achieve at least one image that will make me happy. You have taught me to create images simply by keeping my eyes wide open and not just focused on the drama of the epic. Thanks again for educating me. Best wishes, Derrick.

[@Alister_Benn]

I think this is the real importance of the free content on here, I want it to be open to all and not just those with deeper pockets. It means a lot to get such positive feedback, thanks so very much

[@alanclark9691]

Alister - you talk eloquently about the five attributes that contribute to creating good landscape images, and of course their impact is incontrovertible. However, in this video you did not mention the importance of the subject of the proposed image and it's relationship with those five attributes. It seems to me there is a danger in focusing exclusively on these attributes and not devoting enough attention to how they impact on the intended subject - that is, why you are taking that photo. I'd be interested in your thoughts on this issue.

[@tjmanou6422]

90% of the “landscape photography” KZbinrs need to subscribe to your channel in my opinion. It seems they all do, say and shoot exactly the same thing with the same video format too. So boring to watch. Great channel. Thank you

[@Alister_Benn]

Thank you so much, that means a great deal. Really appreciated
