It’s amazing how you take something that has been explained by other people, but make it so easily digestible and elaborate on the topic with a lot of depth. You’re a legend Pat.
this is my favorite kind of youtube, when creators are so passionate about what they do they just make videos to help other people become like them. great video, keep up the good work
Seriously, for someone who otherwise could never gain access to stuff like this because of being totally broke, these free videos are a godsend! I really love people who give back for free like this, they deserve a special kind of blessing. Thank you!
Hi Pat, I have watched this video multiple times now, and have never posted a comment, despite telling myself every single time to do so. So this time.... this is it. I actually stumbled on your video while drunk out of my mind one night. It was 4AM in the morning, I was just looking to unwind. Normally, I'm not one to remember what I'm doing when I'm high off my mind, let alone a youtube video out of many that I have watched that night, but something about your video just sticks to me, or should I put it this way, it snapped something in me. The examples you've given makes so much sense, yet so subtle, but as an amateur, you wouldn't think of doing. As a portrait photographer myself, I'm amazed at how it can transform a mediocre photo to a great one, simply by incorporating this subtle techniques. It blew me away. I was so excited to learn how you can transform a straight forward portrait head shot from a good photo to a great one, that the very next day, I went out for a portrait shoot. I'm sure this video not only touched a portrait photographer like me, because of how versatile your principals are. Landscapes, street, product, heck, even astrophotography, it can be applied, and it makes me want to go out with my film SLR to shoot some landscape despite not doing so in years. Thank you for this video. This has helped me to overcome my plateau, and strive to produce even more interesting photos. Thank you sincerely.
I understand visual language pretty well as a graphic designer but I never considered the eye position or distance between elements within the frame as much as a do after watching this. Crazy useful! But also how good is visual language
First, you are an amazing teacher. Second, you have a beautiful eye and understanding of the art of photography. Third, thank you for giving me knowledge that will shift the way I create art out of the world around me, as well as for the people in my life. I sincerely appreciate the gift you gave through this video. I haven’t been a fan of photography for quite some time. I haven’t picked up my cameras in far too long. Tomorrow, I am going to take my camera with me just to practice applying what you shared. This is going to not only going to be extremely fun, I also believe it will help me bring beauty back into the world for me.
Simply, Thank You, Pat! I think you are an amazing person, and amazing for sharing all this knowledge on here. I have deep, deep gratitude for you/your work.
I'm starting to get more serious about my passion for photography, and have been soaking up all the info from RUclips that I can. This channel is my favorite.
Wow, amazing high-yield video! There is magic in the way you deliver your ideas, I love how you explained visual patterns against photography rules. Thanks, Pat!
Just discovered your channel and this brilliant series. Your description and analysis of rules and visual patterns is spot on and really resonated with me; thank you so much. I’m now off to watch the rest of the series 👏🏻
WOW, Thank you so much Pat! I am a self taught artist and with the knowledge gained from this one video you have elevated my design skills a totally new level. You have changed my artistic abilities forever. To be able to teach it others in such a brilliant, authentic, and effective way, your depth of knowledge of visual language must have been developed over many years of focus, commitment and practice. This is information is not just pure value for photographers, it is pure gold for every artist. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
Amazing content, the way you explain these things in easy to understand terms and the way you think about them it's just awesome. I just subscribed, this is too good to miss it.
In the start of the video I was not getting what he was talking about but when I understood then I realised I have been using this in every photo that I took . Nicely Explained
It was great. Thanks for the informative video. Please keep on creating these kind of videos especially this series and create a playlist of all the video in this series for easier access
"Rule of 3s" just brought a whole new world into my thought process. Im not an art or photography guy, but interior design has weighed heavily on my mind this summer, and I love that idea
Wow, these visuals are mind-blowing. Definitely a game-changer in the way we perceive the world. Kudos to the photographer for capturing such beautiful patterns! 👌
I'm a beginner and your videos have been a gold mine and my go to source of knowledge. I learnt a lot in this video and I find the photo analysis extremely insightful, it's exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you!
Hey Pat, let me tell you that you killed it with this video. I liked the way you explained frames and how naturally interiorise adn interpret them. thanks do much!!!
NOW I LOVE THIS SERIES, Saw the color theory episode, I immediately had the need to see the first and watch it chronologically. I love how this makes me rethink and tweak the things I have learned thru the years as a visual artist. Especially in photography. I’m just a bit jealous coz now I wished this is how my professors explain visual languages to us in art school.
I knew the rule about frames before, but never really thought about subframes. And never knew about the proportions of subject within the frame. That was such a new skill for me!
find the thumbnail styles and typography (like the one used on this episode) for your channel very pleasing - all so pleasant and peaceful energy with a highly refined feel about it reflecting your work, which was one of the reasons I was happy to have discovered it. please do keep that style if possible! 🕊
Food for thought or reflection. As photographers we see frames almost naturally, but what you taught me here is that there are subframes that can be visualized if we pay closer attention and play with the scene and the subject. Food for thought and attention. Thank you.
About the picture in the acquarium I would add that if you divide the frame in three, there is a rhythmic pattern with model/sting ray/empty that is also very pleasing
Wow something different taught/discussed here. Really useful and interesting Pat! I am well tired of the same rules orientated stuff all the other channels cover. I had pretty much decided this was because there wasn't any other angle. More please!
I'm gonna try that in my music videos :) . I have this thing of thinking a really grate framing can makes up for the lack of variety when it comes to shoots
nobody I know here on youtube explains these things as well as you do! I just found your videos and instantly subbed. Knowing these things really helps with improving your own art and understanding other people's pictures.
I really love the idea of this series! Just found you through my recommendations and I'm very grateful you're putting out such great advice for free. Thanks a lot!
Hi Pat! The thing I really like about you is that you are strict about your views on photography. Like when you say that rules are NOT ment to be broken. Also like your in depth explaining on the subject you choose everytime, but with a calm, easy to understand way. For last, I found really mind-blowing, when you started drawing those lines in the frames, of how deliberate the proportions in those frames are! Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next videos of these series!
Some of what you are talking about can be explained by “semantics” or things that have explicit meanings and attributes. These help others to understand these things or objects because they are well defined and well known in use. To “break” them puts obstacles in the way we understand them. If the intention is to confuse and disorient then “break” the rule but if it is broken because one doesn’t know the use of that semantical “pattern” then the purpose is hidden from understanding. I look forward to this series!
about the framing I realized I have always been doing it instinctively and I gained that knowledge from looking at thousands of photos. now that it is explained it seems so obvious and natural.
It’s amazing how you take something that has been explained by other people, but make it so easily digestible and elaborate on the topic with a lot of depth. You’re a legend Pat.
aw thank you! im glad i can be of service somehow 😊
Agreed!
Learning about the framing effect lead me to this video, it makes sense
Patkay, thank you!
this is my favorite kind of youtube, when creators are so passionate about what they do they just make videos to help other people become like them. great video, keep up the good work
Seriously, for someone who otherwise could never gain access to stuff like this because of being totally broke, these free videos are a godsend! I really love people who give back for free like this, they deserve a special kind of blessing. Thank you!
Oh Lord ! This is a video series i'm going to truely deep dive into !
i hope so! thanks for watching!
I always love seeing your perspective Pat. You're a breath of fresh air in the community and truly one-of-a-kind
aw thank you! so kind of you :)
Best lecture ever. I have never seen any videos on youtube teaching these theories
Hi Pat, I have watched this video multiple times now, and have never posted a comment, despite telling myself every single time to do so. So this time.... this is it.

Amazing content, the way you explain these things in easy to understand terms and the way you think about them it's just awesome. I just subscribed, this is too good to miss it.
Just when I thought I’ve mastered framing, I still learned new things as you dissected each photo. 👌

Hey brother!! I am super grateful that i discovered your channel(the series as well)!! Thank You for the insights...
Amazing. Some of these things we do subconsciously even without such knowledge from someone.

Wow. I'm really excited for this series. It gave me a lot of motivation to practice more often!
