    The thing that separates this video from most other "photography mistakes to avoid" videos is that it is not obsessed with camera settings and equipment. Instead, it is geared towards storytelling, composition, creativity, and shooting with a plan. Without the mindset that is presented in this video, no amount of expensive equipment or ideal camera settings or editing will allow a photographer to create compelling images. Very well done...thank you!

    It's worth noting that it's virtually impossible to violate the rule of thirds. The only way to do it is either to bullseye the subject in the middle or have it coming off of the edge of the photo. Virtually anything else is going to have the quality of obeying the rule of thirds.

  • @ashleynavs1
    @ashleynavs1 2 года назад +2

    Love you guys but felt a little weird about the comparison to some landscape shots or nature photography. It just seemed like the point was 'things are better with people in them' rather than comparing them to other similar shots that have a better focal point. I know that wasn't directly said but just what I got from it?

    • @MangoStreet
      @MangoStreet  2 года назад +1

      it’s equally important to have a strong focal point in landscape as it is in portraits 👍🏻

    • @fiddleandfart
      @fiddleandfart 8 месяцев назад

      Totally agree! There needs to be a POINT to make a good and memorable photograph. Otherwise, it's simply a record of a moment in time, or, in the case of a landscape, a pretty view! Nothing wrong with those - and what millions do daily now on their mobiles. But the best PHOTOGRAPHS tend to have a reason to be - a focus! (No play on words intended). And, yes, tell a story!

  • @stacy85
    @stacy85 2 года назад

    Question but it kinda feels silly: are the photos shown in the video a representation of what not to do, or what to do? I saw a photo taken by one of my friends featured in here and I actually do love it, but wasn’t sure if I’m reading the context right regarding its presence in the video. (Is it bad, is it good?) 😅 TIA.

    • @MangoStreet
      @MangoStreet  2 года назад +1

      it's not necessarily one or the other! very few photos in this video are a "what not to do" and even still, one can find things to love in photographs that aren't technically perfect or otherwise disliked by others.

  • @Highland33r
    @Highland33r 2 года назад +1

    in reference to your introduction. it depends why you got into photography in the first place. Photography is art, which means you don't need to use certain rules in order to appeal to a wider photography audience.

    • @MangoStreet
      @MangoStreet  2 года назад

      i think most people trying to take photography seriously want their work to be more than something their mom hangs on the fridge. and of course, you don’t have to appeal to everyone; we understand a lot of people don’t like our style and we’re perfectly fine with that - so there is a balance to strike.

    • @jacoboreilly3601
      @jacoboreilly3601 2 года назад +1

      Yeah definitely. I feel like some of the tips were a bit harsh or more focused on human emotion when sometimes it’s literally just seeing the art in things. Sometimes a picture of a white wall just works. It can be aesthetically pleasing. It doesn’t matter if you’re telling a story all the time. In the end you will be a good photographer when you have your own unique style that maybe some people like and not just the style of the next guy.
