i live in Hong Kong, the distraction in one scene is almost unbearable, it is impossible to make a narrative out of your photo. everything imaginable basically clusters in your composition.
I don’t agree. I think we are prone to believe that the USA are this big playground for photos just because that is what the mainstream media projects into our memories and conscience. Movies and series built up this image of a playground, with astonishing visuals and places to shoot. Had Hollywood been founded in Europe or Africa we would think otherwise. It’s just a matter of the strongest economy, really. Having said this, nonetheless I think the USA hold a really great scenery in their land.
I love this. Composition is the easiest but the hardest to master. I’m definitely not even close to mastering. I think there are way too many photographers that just show up to a scene and snap it due to the excitement of finding it. They don’t really study it. All these images you can tell that you didn’t pull up and start snapping away. There’s thought and precision in the placement of things. Probably the number one thing that I see in not only beginners but people that I’ve been photographing awhile.
Yeah man, I agree. I don't think it's something that you really ever master, but can definitely improve skills a lot. I know I have a long way to go still. But the one major thing that I've learned is that there are images everywhere. The longer you spend looking, the more you'll find... same with creative opportunities. It's one of the things that I love about this craft!
Interesting how you approached this subject. Rather than a generic “tips video” you told the story of the picture. Very helpful for someone photographing similar situations! Would definitely love to see this as a new series! 👍🏾
I’m not familiar with the other photographer’s work that you mentioned but I think for a second video (or third vid) it would be great to look at images that differ stylistically as much as possible from yours just to get as much contrast in compositional approaches. Your images tend to be quite geometric and rectilinear so it might be interesting to look at compositions that are more chaotic or fluid or amorphous. Something like that!
Great video - I like your quote, "taming the chaos that's in the real world". I have aspergers so organising the "chaos in the real world" is something I am doing all the time, on autopilot!
Cream of the crop, you are a surgeon and the camera is your knife. You compose so very balanced and meticulous. It's a joy to look at you images. Well done Thank you Kyle
Really like these type of videos, where photographers explain their thinking and methodology. Definitely gives me motivation to re-explore subjects in my surrounding and closely examine them, revisit them during different times of day.
Hi, I stumbled across your video and I would like to thank you for taking the time to interrogate each of the images. I see other photographers talking about composition, and they use similar concepts to illustrate like you do, but you take it to the next level by talking about the intricate thought that you put into the images. I find this very helpful to groom my thinking about composition, not so that I can copy your technique, per se, but so that I can incorporate your technique in my thought processes. I think it will help me to "remember" things to look for in my images to improve my photography. I have been "that photographer" that shows up on a scene, and as another commenter said, just snap away due to the excitement of finding the image. I plan to slow down a bit, and explore my local area a bit more through this new lens (see what I did there?) to hopefully improve my composition when I do travel out and time is shorter.
Thank you for sharing your experience, skills, and thought process. I learned a lot. I never thought about "breathing room" and "create opportunity" in my photos. Thanks again!!
I found there’s a quiet reflection with what you do. You have purpose in your art and to articulate not only your creativity and purpose but also your technicality is refreshing. I wait for your videos. Thank you again.
You also have “leading lines” working really well in the composition of the 2nd example.👏🏻👏🏻 the road on the right and the roof from the left leading both to the sign. Just amazing in the overall!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 I’m devouring all your videos! Thanks very much for the work you putting into this educational material. 🙏🏻
I liked how the road in the first picture leads your eye to the nearest grain elevator and then continues on to the second one that is framed. Good work!
Wow. These photos look so simple and so powerful at the same time!!! Well timed and composed making me stare at them forever without being bored. Just amazing!!!
Love..love..love this video. I really love listening to other artists/photographers talk about their process. The takeaway for me was simply slowing down, calming my brain and really thinking about what I’m doing when composing a scene. It’s got me inspired to take a road trip next spring, something I’ve been thinking about doing the past couple of years, leaving my digital Pentax at home....and bringing out the analog boys to play (Pentax 645 Nii and 6x7 MLU). Thanks for the inspiration Kyle.
I have to say, this video was so satisfying to watch. It is just so pleasing to see how meticulous and clean the composition is within your images. Looking forward to the next part!
I like your selections. They are pure uncomplicated photography glad to see someone making photos that make sense to me. These are old school thinking. Refreshing. Your explanations are so down to earth. Thanks!
For the photo of the Roy’s sign through the window, I also like how the triangular shape of the light at the bottom of the frame mimics the triangular shape of the sign.
Excellent video, Kyle. I really enjoy (and learn) seeing and listening to the compositional choices you made in your images. Looking forward to Part 2.
Had no absolute idea abt photography but definitely wanted to learn more even though the gear costs much. This made me realize that tiny details matter when choosing to compose your images. This is an absolute delight. Your work is awesome!
Gotta love the "T" and "U" forming in the last abandoned kitchen photo. The birds on the streetlamp in the "Trails West" sign photo is a nice added element. Lots of inspiration from this video. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! I’ve been needing to learn something like this to continue improving. Your videos and your podcast have all been a great resource for me and my photography, thanks!
Thanks for sharing Kyle, I personally wouldn’t have noticed those kind of details in the composition. But while you were walking through the pictures they made so much sense!
Really nice video. Appreciate this. So many composition videos just go over the basic rules, which are obviously important, but I appreciate this more detailed discussion
The more I take pictures, the more I realise that composition comes first, light and subject second. I played the game with myself of 'spot the edits' and was fairly close in most cases, which is gratifying. Of course I might make different decisions to you on composition even using the same rules, but that is OK. The rules are open to interpretation as you showed several times in this tutorial.
Great tutorial! In the first image, I also like how the arrows in the road are mirroring the yield sign, as well as the awning on the building on the right side of the image.
One of the first things I noticed at 14:12 was the airplane trail almost perfectly completing the triangle of the MidPoint cafe sign, hahah love it! Incredible video as always Kyle, these compositions are so pleasing to the eye! Feeling v inspired right now
Dang it! I sat there in that spot parked trying to decide how to line it up, and eventually gave up because I hated the sky. Very nice!!!! For love the of the panhandle of Texas and the grain elevators making the landscape interesting!
Hey man LOVE this so much. I really appreciate how you take into account detail, compositional awareness, and convention into consideration when you shoot. I feel that I sometimes dance on similar lines of thought, and hearing you discuss it made me reflect on my own process. Thank you for such a great video, and such great art.
Excellent, very interesting and inspiring, please include more videos like that, discussing composition, light, and all the decisions you can take during the capturing process. Many thanks!
Thx Kyle, love your eye for details! I'm also a sucker for the "perfect" composition - but it's easy to loose spontaneity and freshness sometimes, little imperfections can bring out the perfectness much more sometimes... the problem is: one can't do it - it happens or it doesn't
Yep, I'd agree with you. It's definitely importance to have a balance between the two and not become completely rigid. I feel like for me, a number of these decisions happen by intuition.
When it comes to composition, people will only enumerate stuff... yeah they show multiple examples but they never fully explain it. This video does not only tackle compositions but it is a visual exercise as well. What I learned in this video is that even the slightest detail, it can make or break a photo and also, always take time to find creative opportunities. Love your photos... it makes me feel calm. You earned a new subscriber right here :)
Wonderful class in composition and insightful photography. I was amazed with the image of the garage in the light segment on how the cast shadow of the garage signs falls in the telephone pole.
I think this is the first composition video I've found useful in absolutely ages. All the basic rules are already assumed rather than just quoted which leaves you to get into the real detail. Thank you!
Love the naturalistic look to your images. Reminds me of luigi gherri is the best way possible. Your images looke deceptively easy to get, then when you try to replicate them you realize the originals required way more thought than you realized
This is just excellent top tier content. I love how a lot of your videos are much more like photography classes or workshops than the usual personal vlog on location style like most photography channels. Please keep making videos like this that break down the technique and approach. Also really excited to see you talk to other photographers about these types of topics. Just subscribed. Also side note, your style of photography and your thought process is exactly how I photograph (or at least how I try to photograph). Love your work and love hearing about how you make it.
Great video Kyle. Very interesting to listen to your preferences for composing these images, as well as your thought processes behind the images. Thanks a lot for sharing 👍
I definitely need to learn to really slow down and take in all possible angles before deciding which one I think is the best. I agree I'm not sure that it's something that you can ever master, but it's exciting knowing that it's something you can always learn! Loved the video Kyle, and absolutely LOVED the Finance Furniture scene!
Gave me somethings to think about, though I admit to being just a little too methodical in my own set-up with shooting, our focuses are very different. One of the best things about seeing other's work is looking through their eyes, not just the iris of a lens. Where your aim is the accentuation of implied line and even the written word and its inter-play, I have far greater interest in positive & negative space, and how they create motion and content. Its cool how you play with your chosen elements, and it gives me reason for trying some of your tips. Thank you very much. It was most helpful my friend.
@@KyleMcDougall always find a differing perspective, and method of interest since it opens my mind to things often quite alien to things I'm accustomed to seeing. One rarely grows if the repose in the shadow that is their work alone. We must be willing to experiment with all the things we try, because our own dialogues are the only ones who matter, and only thru connection with others views may we truly communicate our vision to other's. Concessions not strict repressions will afford us vistas we would never glimpse if we weren't willing to take a moment, and a breath to step outside ourselves, and see ourselves through another's sight. I appreciate all you've done and admire your own principles and methodologies. Thank you again.
So interesting that all the time on digital photography youtube there's just so few people's styles i like. everything's so overly saturated and punchy. I love the analog gang on yt. thanks for your great images and video!
dude, thanks a lot for the video, this is so inspirational! the "roy's" one is insane and shows how much you're advanced in composition. I still have a lot to learn, that's a bit harder for me as my area it's so busy and populated, and negative space it's an actual dream here. But that means I have to "create" the negative space, it's challenging and sometimes I get it working, sometimes I don't. again, thanks for the Inspo!
Greetings from Australia.Thanks for this video Kyle very enlightening but upsetting at the same time. You see at this very moment my wife & I are supposed to be driving Route 66 on a once in a lifetime trip. I'm now almost 70 so it may not happen at all now. I was so looking forward to trying to emulate your style & get some great shots.
Neat, like what you're doing here. I'd love to see your take on square format for this type of photography, and maybe also talk about cropping if you ever apply it. And in your process I think it would be interesting to see you push more for/tackle abstraction. I'd be curious to see you do something with that.
Great video. Very informative. This is my first time watching one of your videos and I learned a lot. Your explanations were concise and easy to understand. Looking forward to more.
Love the subjects and the composition choices. Although I knew most of the principles, I enjoyed seeing the thought process around your shots. I appreciate videos that actually teach you a skill. Thanks!

Really nice to have someone talk about pictures and not cameras.
I second this… more please!
this is the way
Secondly, it’s not some just guy who’s telling you to “use rule of thirds”. This person knows better things to talk about ❤️
USA is basically a playground for photographers. Awesome cool vintage stuff laying around in every yard
We feel the same way about other countries! I guess it’s a reminder to be thankful for what we have
i live in Hong Kong, the distraction in one scene is almost unbearable, it is impossible to make a narrative out of your photo. everything imaginable basically clusters in your composition.
@@immersgamers9730 I live in Hong Kong too and I feel the same way oh my god . Too much distraction
@@immersgamers9730 I have wanted to visit and photograph Hong Kong kinda for that reason, it's so different and lively scenes everywhere

I respect that you waited for the cloud on the motel sign rather than just photoshopping the sky

Dang. This was a master class in composition. I have so much to learn. Exceptional video Kyle!
Thanks, Matthew!
truth
@@Anewevisual !!
5:23 couldn't help but notice how the power lines perfectly match the windows too.
Good catch. :)
One of the best videos that I've seen on composition
Done by example and not prescription 📷👍
Third image, stop sign. The power lines are coinciding perfectly within the windows. That was my favorite part of that shot!
Whoa! Kyle struck gold here. The engaged comments indicate WE LIKE THIS ONE!
Thanks Kyle! And good luck from Victoria, BC.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Glad you enjoyed!
For the photo of the Roy’s sign through the window, I also like how the triangular shape of the light at the bottom of the frame mimics the triangular shape of the sign.

I am in awe at the level of attention to detail you have in your image making process, wow... I am inspired 🌟
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one!
Great video! Like that you talk through your thoughts rather than saying "Rule 1:..., Rule 2:...". Very useful!
Glad you enjoyed. Cheers.
This lesson is really helpful.
That ‘s why it is so pleasing to see your photos. Just great, Kyle.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
super inspirational, best composition sharing video I've ever seen on RUclips - part 2 part 2 part 2!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The photo at 12:05 was just phenomenal and a really great example for your compositional process. Great stuff
