Please make more of these, I love your picture's they're aesthetically pleasing to the eye but can't always identify why. You breaking the shots down was super cool seeing how you process these.

@arrobavitoria Год назад

yesss

@3nvisionprd 2 года назад

I feel that for every photographer we make this decisions in our sub conscious. It’s interesting to break it down to each step.

@jamesrocket8838 2 года назад

I think your tree picture with the two tones; the left side with the warm sunset and the right side with the cold colours is definitely one of the best pictures I’ve seen recently. Love it.

@JustinEspejo 2 года назад

LOVED THIS A LOT! thanks for empowering people like me to "take photos the way you want to" . Photography forums can be ultimately toxic with a lot of "seasoned" photographers dictating how a picture "SHOULD" look like. This on the other hand makes you feel otherwise. thanks for sharing!!!

@kinglouiethethird 22 дня назад

your photos (and this video) are getting me back into photography... cheers mate

@RFranks 2 года назад

Really like the shot at 11:10, it looks like something out of the 70s with the sign outside and the chair covers but then you see that the cars are more modern looking. That's pretty interesting to me.

!!it is

@mk-ej9wr Год назад

That tree shot blew me away, the two temperatures present and being split by a tree. Amazing.

@ella-wg4du 2 года назад

I really loved the way you shaded the elements in the photos by blocking them with color, and visually making it easy to understand everything you were describing. Some great editing!!! I learned a ton about your style, and I found all the tips amazing. ❤️❤️❤️

@causeand3ff3ct 2 года назад

Exquisite images, Willem. Thank you for sharing - been in a huge creative rut this year and the processes highlighted in this video definitely goes a long way in getting those creative juices flowing as I prep for a 4am photo-mission tomorrow morning. Big ups for the effort you put into your craft. Thanks for another year of inspiration and wishing you the best for the new year that approaches. Regards all the way from Johannesburg, South Africa.

3:17 I love that photo!!!! Damn near perfect IMHO

@cmncln 2 года назад

Willem your videos are always inspirational - I enjoy listening to you talking about the whole process of your photography, keep going!

@buttersdesignco 2 года назад

This definitely resonated in terms of being able to break the rules and do what makes sense to you when shooting. kudos to you for executing it flawlessly!

@shotbybliss 2 года назад

I like to think of the rules such as the "thirds" as more of recommendations or starting points of composing, instead of strict rules. It can be very limiting to think everything has to follow the rules! And as you have shown you can create beautiful pieces while not following them. 💚

@jamesturner2914 2 года назад

See I respect this point totally, and it’s what I say to my friends. But I’ve found that by sticking quite strictly to some limitations such as the rule of thirds I become more creative with my subjects. It’s almost like music and chord choices, some people produce so much more with 3 chords than those who use 100

@JackSmith-bb3gg 2 года назад

This was really insightful and I think it will make me feel more confident and free in picking my compositions.

@bradleybalsters2078 2 года назад

the way you light your talking shot is so good - balancing the key with the window light was genius and made a single-light setup so effective

@CoreenMazzocchi 2 года назад

The shot of the water tower through the jeep window is so so good, love the vibe of looking at the scene naturally.

@sircitrus 2 года назад

willem verbeeck content is what i needed before going on a trip with my film camera next week!!

@eskadson Год назад

I love your work. You have such a keen eye for capturing a landscape's essence though the use of triadic color schemes.

@lyfeofajet 2 года назад

@scottyharp 2 года назад

Beautiful work (video included)!

@ItsReallyRomaan1 2 года назад

really interesting video Willem. i'd agree about not always needing to use the rule of thirds (even though i also enjoy framing my photos like that), definitely will explore new techniques that you've shared here. loved the sunset photo at outerbanks & the magical tree with sun beaming through, really beautiful. very keen for the book too!

@NaomiDisaster 2 года назад

@sindbadsailor7868 2 года назад

I like this kind of content… talking about technical aspects to educate the viewers…. More content like this please

@michaelhall3718 2 года назад

I think that I’m drawn to Willem’s photos because he does such a good job of breaking the “rules”. In my opinion, the vast majority of people are not good enough photographers to break the “rules”, and should just use the rule of thirds or whatever rule you like and you’ll get a decent photo out of it. Willem is different because he has such a good photographic eye and can see these really cool compositions. Really fantastic video Willem!

@bobsykes 2 года назад

Thank you! Whoa, beautiful work you've highlighted from the coming book. I can't wait. (Looks like a WV designed and constructed piece of plywood furniture in the set, too). Hope you had a nice Christmas, and here's wishing you a Happy New Year!

@WillemVerb 2 года назад

Thank you very much Bob!

@WillemVerb 2 года назад

Good eye on the furniture :)

@brandonwest8693 Год назад

Those Svalbard photos are absolutely breathtaking!

@thiccynikky6266 2 года назад

Just amazing shots and a amazing video keep it up man

@samprstn 2 года назад

Love the photo at 10:40 and how the bike shares the same colour as the sky but is cut off from that blue by the other colours in the frame, which really isolates it and makes it the main subject

@innazaytsevaphoto Год назад

Amazing video! Thanks for inspiration!

@timhollister1973 2 года назад

Really enjoyed this one Willem!

@3mfreale 2 года назад

Wow thanks for explaining some of your best photos where I couldn't figure out why I liked them. It was colour all along!

@bennmurhaaya8518 2 года назад

One thing is for sure - I am getting the On the sunny side of the street once it's out. I've been following your channel for a quite a while and would love to hold and inspect some of those shots that appeared in those episodes. Cannot wait!

@genisarnalespinach7531 2 года назад

Do you have any tips on night photos and making sure you capture those good lights and colors?

@bitchplease719 2 года назад

More content like this please. Maybe break down some work of other photographers. Really interesting to know why some pictures and composition are so mesmerizing and eye catching. Thank you for this educational video.

@NebulaForever1 2 года назад

I loved the video and the photos. I feel like you shouldve mentioned sub framing. I loved the fact that the photo you took in the car had the window in it, and that in the last photo the trees perfectly curved around the cross. I think I just get distracted easily and love when its easier to focus on the subject. Either way I look forward to seeing you post more.
