I’m in a women’s retreat, but wanted to let you know I loving and Enjoying these lovely pictures. 🤟🏼
Thank you Irma! I'm so blessed to hear that you are enjoying the images. :) I hope you are having a wonderful time at the retreat.
One of the most useful lesson I’ve watched lately to understand the visual weight in photography. Thank you so much for your time. I appreciate it.
Great to hear! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I'm new to this and I must say this is the best video very well explained
Great lesson here, I was much into rule of thirds but now with one, I have something new to look out for while creating my images
Hi Ken. Yes I agree with you. I find visual weight a vital part of my landscape photography approach.
@@JasonStewartPhotography sounds good 😊
Outstanding tutorial on the rule of balance. Wonderful examples as well.
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoy your tutorials. They are very easy to understand and then apply to my photography.
Glad you like them!
Good explanation and examples. Thank you for video. Cant wait to practice this.
Thank you
Really helpful tutorial Jason. I plan on working on this.
Glad it was helpful!
You are great ⚖️🐰🌞
Thank you, amazing lesson!
Thank you for this tutorial. This is very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Good tutorial Jason.
Thank you Bryce!
Isn't the picture of the surfer unbalanced? Or is the right side have enough weight because the surfer is walking in that direction?
That's a good question. When photographing people or anything for that matter, that is moving in a certain direction it is important to leave enough space in front of the direction they are either looking or moving towards, otherwise you have a photograph that can begin looking a bit cramped for space and unnatural. So for this particular image, I made sure to use the "Rule of Space" so that it doesn't feel cluttered. I also have this individual in the center of the image in another photo which I like as well, but then the rule of thirds is ignored. But getting back to the "balance" question. For me, I think the blue skies help balance out the blue suit and board well. But art and photography are most certainly subjective in nature and therefore what works for one person might not work for another person.
May I ask where you are from? I have never heard anyone say Ah-symmetrical. I looked it up and every pronunciation - including from other dialects - pronounces it Ei-symmetrical. I plan to show this to my students, and I *know* they are going to ask me about it.
Hi April, yes, great question. I mispronounced it. It should be pronounced "A"-Symmetrical not "Ah"-Symmetrical.
@@JasonStewartPhotography Thank you for responding! I always tell my students, "You're still cool!" when they make a mistake (and I ask them to tell ME, I'm still cool when I make a mistake), so ... Jason, you're still cool! Thanks for the video. Asymmetry seems to really be a challenge for them.
@@aprilweston2212 So true! :) The main thing with asymmetrical balance is making sure there is visual weight in the right places. For me, I don't take my camera out and think to myself, "Okay, I need to do an asymmetrical photograph here." However, if I see something that is symmetrical I do purposefully go after the symmetrical composition of course. But as I am studying the surrounding of my subject, if I end up using rule of thirds I am thinking to myself, "are there any distractions in the background? What about visual weight? Are there elements I can include that will help enhance my image?" In most cases you want to simplify, simplify, simplify, but if you notice the statues from Prague in the video, when I photoshop the church buildings out, you can see that even though the statues are rule of thirds, the image looks out of balance because there is way too much negative space. That is the type of scenario where we want to continue working our composition so that we can create a more balanced and aesthetically appealing image.
@@JasonStewartPhotography I definitely think that's a limitation ... I'm sending them out to make a symmetrical image and a balanced asymmetrical image. It's a limitation of the learning process. I teach middle school, and we're online right now, so ... that's another challenge. They're using cellphones. We're making it work.
