Robert has a real artsists way of explaining everything. Far superior to other lectures I have seen here. The ones where there are two people fighting to talk is silly. This guy is top! No doubt because of his background in music!
I have watched a lot of RUclips videos on composition, but this is probably the most informative and practical one that I have seen concerning the challenges of landscape photography. Thanks to B&H and Robert Rodriguez Jr for an excellent lecture.
As a comparative, I am embryonic in my photographic life, while Robert has matured to the point of advancing his wonderful, hard-earned "tool-set" to the point of focus that evidently and consistently runs through every image he takes. At 66 years of age I appreciate my good fortune to have taken up photography at a time when my life-journey intersects with Robert's. I thoroughly enjoyed viewing this workshop! Most good lessons have a degree of difficulty as part of the price, and to be able to gain so much insight with so little effort is a blessing. Thank you for the generous sharing, Robert.
Robert Rodriguez Jr great lecture!! I love how you compare a great photograph to music, living and breathing, so to speak. This will really help me improve my compositions. My biggest problem is patience. As a bird photographer I am engaged and excited in the results I have captured over the years. For the landscape shooter, the instant gratification is not as pronounced as it is with wildlife. You can hike 4 miles to a location and the clouds are not cooperating etc and you don’t take a single image. I think the rewards are amazing, but my biggest struggle is the patience required to get a great landscape image. I’m working on this!! Thanks again!!
So happy to see another talk by Robert Rodriguez Jr. He is my favorite nature/landscape photographer. I love his zen-like approach to the art of photography.
What a fantastic talk! Love Robert's approach to photography, less technical mumbo jumbo and more artsy and harmonious elements that really brings his photography to life and helps us understand a lot more about the whole process of CREATING a photo, not taking a photo. Thank you Robert, you just earned another fan.
I have viewed several video lessons on composition. Robert's lecture presented the clearest most actionable methodology that I have viewed. Many Thanks. I know this will help improve my landscape photography.
Absolutely marvelous! This was both an inspiring and down to earth explanation of a complex topic. I look forward to learning your 2019 workshop schedule. Leslie
What a sensible down to earth practical lecture for the enthusiastic amateur especially . Simplicity the key - not requiring bewildering post processing and articulate presentation. Great.
Great lecture. I've been struggling to figure out what makes good landscape photographs for several years, watching lots of videos, spending a fair amount of money on books by name authors and you gave me more to think about in this video than any of the books or videos. While I don't expect that the next time I go out that I'll be taking Ansel Adam's quality photos I certainly have tools to significantly improve my photography.
You are so humble.....been watching you for a couple years......Just wonderful thank you so much......Thank you B&H for all these awesome video....Cheers Ramin :-)
an excellent presentation. super informative. wish the presenter could be pointing to whatever he points to in his images using a means that makes it visible to us remote viewers. kinds like he did just at the very end -time reference 1:13
I enjoyed this very much, especially the musical analogies. With respect to Lightroom/Photoshop mentioned towards the end and continuing with the musical theme, it doesn't seem unreasonable to think of the raw file as a musical score and the processed image as a performance; which like a musical performances can varied and highly individualistic; with no particular spot in performance space being 'correct' (including in-camera performances). Which also reveals how inane the 'only SOOC is correct' ideology is.
17:15 simple better; 18:20; Mehda, "Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, adding the meaningful." 19:10 isolating the subject from the real world; 20:10 concentrate on what's essential; 21:40 formats and borders; 27:10 every part of an image is important; control edges, cut deliberatedly; 49:00 Gestalt theory
I’m not sure where that image was taken. You might try to contact Robert Rodriguez Jr directly through his site. *Christina* www.robertrodriguezjr.com/
Free lecture! Awesome thank you. I want to learn but i can't feel the art in me. I can't see the detail u described on those photos all i see is they r beautiful.
Great Lecture!! might want to consider showing examples of what not to do. In pictures, show what a busy picture is or how things are not arranged correctly etc etc ...
Nice presentation, it can be boring because of the subject matter but he did a good job, the photos range from amazing to average but again that's the way the cookie crumbles. Hope people learned something from this presentation!
Superb and thank you!!😀😀😀📷📷📷👍👍👍🔔🔔🔔 There is also another B&H Photo Video (also on composition) that would make an excellent companion to this video, it's by photographer Adam Marelli (spelling?) (title....???)
Hi Lewis, I believe you were referring to this one? Bridging the Gap: Classical Art Designed for Photographers ruclips.net/video/zwk3YFknyNA/видео.html . Thanks for watching!
Well, I'm a little late to the show! 7 years it looks like. My hat is off to B&H and to Robert for some excellent advice! Very entertaining and excellent presentation. Bravo!

Great seminar. A little long, but very worthwhile. I like hearing how good photographers walk through the creative process.
it's a seminar, what did you expect?
@@mr.radical9659 I certainly didn't expect a comment on my off-hand comment 6 years later.
@@ToddHakala Understandable, have a nice day.
When I was dabbling I music, I came across a quote I like:
Critiquing art is about applying the rules. Creating art is about breaking them.
Great video thank you.
I am learning a lot from this presentation, well explained & to the point 👍🏻
Glad you liked it
Inspirational... Thank you :)

@B and H, Any idea of the general whereabouts the image @ 38:27 minutes was shot? Spectacular.
I’m not sure where that image was taken. You might try to contact Robert Rodriguez Jr directly through his site. *Christina* www.robertrodriguezjr.com/
Looks like it might be Monument Valley
Thank you for this lecture
I find the analogy he makes to music really interesting.
Fantastic vid
Free lecture! Awesome thank you. I want to learn but i can't feel the art in me. I can't see the detail u described on those photos all i see is they r beautiful.
like the analogy between music composition and photo composition
Thanks Robert on this talk on composition
49:34 relationships and arrangement: placement (Gestalt theory), contrasting elements, visual rhythm
Great Lecture!! might want to consider showing examples of what not to do. In pictures, show what a busy picture is or how things are not arranged correctly etc etc ...
33:38 Compositional toolbox: lines, points and shapes, color, patterns and textures
1:12:45 how circles repeat circles very powerful
28:00 every part is important; control the edges
51:07 groups of objects near enough to each other form a shape
Weird, in the trees example I definitely preffered uch more the first image!
Interesting talk! I think gestalt is pronounced with a hard G ( guh-shtahlt ) but maybe it depends on the country
Nice presentation, it can be boring because of the subject matter but he did a good job, the photos range from amazing to average but again that's the way the cookie crumbles. Hope people learned something from this presentation!
thank you
56:00 framing
1:17:45 don't give viewer a choice of seeing what artist what artist wants or not
Superb and thank you!!😀😀😀📷📷📷👍👍👍🔔🔔🔔
There is also another B&H Photo Video (also on composition) that would make an excellent companion to this video, it's by photographer Adam Marelli (spelling?) (title....???)
