Don't miss photography composition part two! The great advice and tips keep coming from four-time Travel Photographer of the Year, Bob Holmes! Sit down with AYP studios and photographer Bob Holmes for part two of the Marc Silber Show - Advancing Your Photography! He shares some remarkable photos from his latest trip to Cuba, and digs deep into the art of composition.
Bob has been all over the world and his travel photos have appeared in National Geographic, Departures, and 46 books as the sole photographer. Working outdoors on most of his trips, Holmes is an expert at using natural lighting in photos. He loves looking for composition that grabs you and his unique tip is that you need to “get in the zone” and be fully responsible for everything in the frame. And the key to learning composition is to practice -- you can't become a great photographer in a week, but you will get there by shooting as much as you can.
And of course, thank you so much to Bob, for sitting down with us and our AYP friends to share all of his amazing advice and experience.

Again, breaking it down into the subtleties of what makes a good photographer, and picture. Natural light playing an important role with all the other elements you spoke upon. Nartual photography using natural light is an art form within itself. Lovely to see this isn't a dieing trend, that we having established photographers as yourself imparting your wealth of knowledge onto others.

Here's Part II! Bob hits on the keys to great composition in this video. Some of the main points are: • You’ve just got to be there. In order to get the “perfect” shot, you need to wait. And wait some more. The picture will present itself to you. • Be prepared to get that “perfect shot.” Know your equipment. • How to see/use horizontal lines and symmetry • Using colors to compose picture • How to punctuate your pictures • The keys to capturing portraits • Why gesture is important (And goes hand in hand with punctuation) • TELL A STORY! • Change your viewpoint (What angle tells the story best?) • Immerse yourself in different media • BE PASSIONATE.

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

He calls it "Punctuation", Cartier Bresson called it "The Decisive Moment", that extra detail that brings the photo alive.
@marcsilber
@marcsilber 8 лет назад
Stephen, they are very close but the decisive moment is when you press the shutter, it's timing to capture that exact instant when it all "comes together for you" Punctuation is when that additional element is present in the frame to give it an accent --like the examples Bob gave. Now there could also be a decisive moment that is also punctuated!

Just learned that I can actually dare to shoot against the sun or lightsource. Untill now I have always systematically avoided that. Possibly at an occasional loss. No more! Also learned that symmetry is allowed as well, (the rule is always about de-centering the motive) provided there is an element in the picture (punctuation) that keeps the symmetric picture from becoming dull. Very inspiring "lecture" delivered in quite a pleasant manner. Thank you and Bravo!

As before., form follows content. And, the three major components of photographs, as in writing, are position perspective, and context. These aren't just composition elements. They go to the message and intent of the photograph.

I notice in most of those photos Bob shot on a diagonal. For example the street scenes where he could have shot straight on, he composed the shot so the street is running at a slight diagonal across the frame. I wonder whether this was deliberate.

@Boeijk1
@Boeijk1 7 лет назад
I think that might be exactly the purpose: Leave it to the audience to complete the photo with their own imagination. It evokes emotions, raises questions this way. Just as it made you to write this comment. Besides such cut offs gives you the impression of ''goes beyond the frame'' to me.

Because there's a pretty big fuss out there with RAW and JPG images. I know what both do etc. Does Bob Holmes shoot RAW? And does it really matter that much when it comes to an amateur like myself? I only shoot RAW when I shoot Landscapes. Thank you in advance!
@marcsilber
@marcsilber 7 лет назад
+Eas Hidalgo yes Bob shoots raw (not in the raw :). All pros do. It's because you don't have images that are compressed or manipulated as Jpegs are. You can use sRaw for smaller sized I talk about this and lots more in my book.
