I cringe viscerally when I hear an instructional video use the term "correct exposure". (which suggests that anything else is 'wrong', regardless of intentional placement of values.) Personally, I am black and white film centric, so the application of intentional development technique is intentionally applied in conjunction with the exposure settings for my purposes.

I would actually like to learn more about how to achieve these effects. Jamie is very much on a theoretical level of content. I appreciate this a lot(!)but I feel that Jamie could also share a bunch of practice as well. I am a photography trainer myself and I know talking about things you know is quite easy. Much easier than actually showing how to do these things and explain the steps of why and when. And - if you are not only a trainer but also a photographer - you don't want to share your tricks easily with potential competitors. So I guess that's the reason why Jamie doesn't share his tricks easily with KZitem, since these special effects are essentially what makes his videos special compared to other more "theoretical" channels.

I shoot a single raw and my pics get good enough dinamic range by this tecnique. But as for my other work I love shadows. And I rarely click on lens correction on lightroom because I want those shadows on the corners.

Really refreshing to see someone else who has the same view on this topic. Whilst having detail in every single aspect of a photo with super beautiful and vibrant sunsets and stuff is all well and good, I have a massive soft spot for images with less going on. Less ambient detail, and more focus on a singular point through the use of darkness and light, and lack of detail in such parts. I think it's a hugely underrated thing in modern photography, and I love trying to incorporate it into my shots, and it's always a fun challenge to carry that style over to film on the off occasion that I shoot with my 35.

I often use the chiaroscuro effect myself. Having something black in a photo also makes the colours seem more colourful without actually adding more saturation to them, and I often end up even reducing dynamic range in my photos, blocking up the shadows rather than opening them up. It is still useful to have the wide dynamic range available to you so that you don't miss out on the details that you did want to preserve - something that many impulsive photographers would decide on later. I like being in full control of which parts of my photo go to black and which turn white. Especially for B&W photography. There's a reason it's called "Black and White" and not "Grey".

You cannot blame the people. Rather you should blame marketing teams that like numbers, since they are easy to understand and to compare. It is easier to understand (or believe) that ISO up to 4 million is better than ISO only up to 250.000, it is easier to think that 14 stops of dynamic range is better than 11 - on the other side it is very hard to sell unique features like "live view on long time exposure pictures" on the Olympus cameras or "live crop FHD out of 4K" on Panasonic cameras. Most consumers are no photographers, they are just "consumers". They want to buy (invest in) a product that is "up to date" and is "the best" for a long time, since they don't want to be outdated with other cameras from the moment they put a lot of money on the table - hence the "better numbers". They don't know that pictures with 4 million ISO will look like the hardest crap they ever took or that they don't even know how to understand dynamic range and in the same way they don't understand all the special features of special cameras. They have no time to understand this. They might have a hard job or two, a family to support, friendships to maintain ... you cannot blame people for all the marketing shit. Camera manufacturers want to sell their products. Marketing teams sell numbers.

When I took a photo because I liked specifically how the scene actually looked for my eyes, then of course I recover shadows, pull down highlights etc. to get an image as similar as possible to how I remember the scene. For that, a big dynamic range is very helpful, and that's one big reason I upgraded from my little Olympus to the Sony A7III. But in other cases of course working with dark shadows and perhaps even blown-out highlights can make for a better, clearer, simpler photo. It DEPENDS, and therefore a camera with high dynamic range is the best tool because then you have the widest array of choices!

I've been taking photographs for nearly 10 years now, and while I've felt I've made improvement in many areas the use of shadow has not been one of them. To be honest, I've been one of the crowd who usually tries to open up every shadow they can find in a photo. I've watched this video a few times now but never really got what you were saying. However, after visiting an art gallery here in Tokyo that exhibited Meiji era Japanese painters I noticed they used no shadow in their paintings and it looked really weird (like your HDR comment), once I realised they used zero shadows!! So using shadows in a photo is just like we see in real life! Not everything needs to look bright and sunny.

When, in good faith, I tried his suggestions for re-submission, I didn’t like the way they looked. I basically thought the same thing you said, exposure is a matter of personal preference, not a hard rule. I decided not to re-submit. I still got an A+.

The only reason I like a camera with high dynamic range is to give me options in post processing. Ok you could argue about “getting it right in camera”, but sometimes you just have to “grab” the right moment with your camera at the wrong settings and make it work later. It’s a safety net.

This is a fantastically useful (for learners) video. You are the first vlogger I have seen here that is focusing on art history to teach photography just as is done in a university BFA program. I've been directing young learners on other channels to the art history section of their libraries for years, and being pretty much ignored, so this is gratifying. [Two thoughts: 1. I disagree that you should only break rules you know, rather teach learners to ignore rules, see if they can manage. Master your own photo ship first, see if it sails. Now, this advice is risky because it will generate a lot of bad art out of the 90% with lousy vision which will have to be given a failed grade. But it will also generate unique creativity out of the few who have great vision, and that is what matters. Find the prodigies. Training up legions of rules-bounded pseudo artists is a pointless project except to take their money for telling them they are doing great. 2. If we are agreeing that this art process is Photoshop-centric, and we agree that chiaroscuro rocks, then direct all learners to those non-automatic, hand manipulated, gotta-make-a-visual-decision-for-every-tiny-change burn & dodge tools! Challenge the learner to darken their own blacks, by eye & hand not just by a slider. Set pure whites where they should go, by eye and by hand not just by a slider.]

Amazing work. I don't generally comment, but each of your videos plays like a masterclass...a legitimate MasterClass. The technical, artistic, analytical and philosophical viewpoints are enlightening. I greatly enjoy your work.

Outstanding! I love the way you anchor your photographic points within the context of classical art.

Right on!! You hit a nerve with me on this subject. I have been traveling down the road that you eloquently portrayed in this video. So concerned about managing the shadows and highlights that I lost the grasp of what will make the photo most compelling. Bring the drama back, I will think once again. Thanks for the reminder. Good work and a great intro into Skill Set. I’ll give it a go on your recommendation. Steve

I love this video and I show it to my beginner photography students every semester. I particularly like the line "try using darkness as a canvas to showcase light" Thank you for making it Jamie!
