Photos don't tell stories. But they DO communicate visually in different ways. Some evoke an emotional response. They make us feel. Others appeal more to our intellect. In this video, we'll take a deeper look at how you can communicate more effectively through photography.

Are you understanding these concepts? Can you see yourself using them in your own photography? Drop me a comment. Ask me questions. :)

@hanumanguy 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Mitchel. I look forward to trying out these concepts. I also just purchased your course. Question about the women with bicycle and goat. Did you stop and talk to them and then ask if you could photograph them and about how many frames did you take?

@mitchellkphotos 11 месяцев назад

@@hanumanguy Hey :) Yes, of course I stopped, I got their story. In this case, this was in Belarus, so the best way is not to ask for a photo right away. This was loooong ago and I actually dropped the HDD with the RAWs from this day, so I don't remember exactly how many images. Of them two - not more than 10. But then I talked to and followed the woman with the bicycle a bit, because she was from the area. and was quite talkative and friendly. Thank you for your support. :)

Other youtube channels are talking about rule of thirds. Mitchell is dropping master classes.

@mitchellkphotos 11 месяцев назад

Haha. Hope you found it useful!

This is a great explanation of what photography is! I believe that when people say that good photography is storytelling they are overcomplicating and to some degree over glamorizing what photography is, and when people say it is about having a focal point they are oversimplifying and not getting to the heart of what good photography really is. Explaining it in terms of emotional and intellectual visual cues is probably the best middle ground explanation I've heard.

@mitchellkphotos 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! I'm glad you feel this way. :)

@Indrikmyneur 11 месяцев назад

This is the best explanation of the subject so far! I was thinking on the ways how photography carries its message for a long time, but I never got nowhere near to how you actually phrased it here. Well done!

@mitchellkphotos 11 месяцев назад

thanks ;)

I had this come up during my watch later... while editing photos. And the one direction I took to heart directly was the idea of challenging the viewer intellectually. Sadly I am not doing much photography anymore - but I now want to take this approach for next time. Ask a question with the photo. As I have a lot of portraits in front of me, there isn't much questions to be asked. So maybe I engage differently next time. pack a wider lens to avoid doing too much portrait

Thanks Michael for this video. I traveled to Bolivia (and Salar de Uyuni) in 2015 and I hope to visit this wonderful country the next february, this time with my son. I will show him this video later to learn together how to take better images trying to show a unique story!

@m.bauer2024 11 месяцев назад

Thanks, I like the way you think about the pictures and I appreciate you share it.

@mitchellkphotos 11 месяцев назад

Welcome :) and thanks for watching

@horaciocavalleri6014 11 месяцев назад

Muy bueno

@HaiTomVlog 11 месяцев назад

These videos are very inspiring - I look forward to watching them and then going out to put it to practice!

@mitchellkphotos 11 месяцев назад

Glad you like them! And YES - important to put it all to practice! :)

@j1lakenan1 11 месяцев назад

Love this! Looking forward to applying this to my photography - instead of only thinking "that's a cute photo of my kids"

@titanabrian 11 месяцев назад

Thanks man, the way you explain about photograph is perfect, you makes me want to buy a camera and try photography

@mitchellkphotos 11 месяцев назад

Haha. Go for it! :)

You are really the best travel photographer! Nobody can compete with this. So I just stay here and aim for becoming the best local photographer of this mundane place. No culture left, but a little nature here and there. People are dead, so you're lucky to see living cultures. And when they're dead too, they will be so grateful to you, capturing them when they were alive.

@mitchellkphotos 11 месяцев назад

Thanks very much for that. I've not been to the kinds of places you mention for a while now, but... I do hear about them. 🙂

@hanumanguy 11 месяцев назад

I am a local photographer too. There is some advantages to photographing locally, you can really dive deep into your area and document life as it changes over the years. I've been photographing our downtown square for over 15 years.

@bioliv1 11 месяцев назад

@@hanumanguy For some reason my soul belongs to here, although the land and its people has lost its soul. I don't know how it happened, but I think at some point the connections between nature, history and people became too weak. We were to Portugal on holidays this summer, spectacular coastline and pittoresque townscapes full of soul. Still it's in this soulless and mundane landscape my soul belongs to, like I was a ghost that cannot give up my lost past.

Gostei muito da sua apresentação. Hoje consegui captar algumas informações interessantes. E uma das coisas que eu mais gostei foi esse potencial de captar essências, sensibilidades, almas de pessoas e lugares. E você está falando mais devagar também. Porque você falava rápido demais e não dava para acompanhar seu raciocínio adequadamente. Você me pareceu mais tranquilo, e isto contribuiu muito, didaticamente, para mim que não sou tão familiarizada com o conteúdo. Há muitas informações e riqueza de detalhes para assimilar.

I feel like I’m in a college photography class without paying anything. Great videos, with great examples.

@mitchellkphotos 11 месяцев назад

Haha, the college of RU-vid.

@novecentophotos4251 11 месяцев назад

I love your videos and photos. An idea about videos for the future could be to analyze and comment photos of your subscribers (by authors or topic). It would be appreciated.

@mitchellkphotos 11 месяцев назад

Already did it. Let's see maybe again in the future...

@iCcolor 11 месяцев назад

@mitchellkphotos. I love your videos. Quick question. What is your light setup for your talking heads. I see the sun is always backlighting you. How do you still have so much contrast in your video. I hope you don’t mind sharing. Thanks in advance!

@mitchellkphotos 11 месяцев назад

Reflector :)

@pandaosa9 11 месяцев назад

How does this course differ from your last course?

@mitchellkphotos 11 месяцев назад

Totally different focus, different style, too many things to mention. :) I hope by last course you actually mean the last ones that I made and not this one? :)
