This video is a great example of how you can follow all the “rules” of photography and still capture (arguably) boring/uninspiring images. Almost everything you said was spot on so it’s still absolutely a good video...but if you too strictly follow the rules, the image can still be very dull. Cropping is an invaluable tool to provoke the emotion you want in an image. Some of the most famous street photographs ever taken and exhibited have been cropped for this very reason. Basically, learn the rules so you know how to bend and break the rules...just as in every other art form.

moira chalmers I think what he means is that you could potentially become dependent on cropping and be less careful about getting the composition on the spot with your camera, which makes sense to me. However, I don't think there's anything wrong with cropping if it will help make your photo better.

Cropping a photo or a negative is called" photo surgery". It is a lazy photography as you ignore the first important thing in photography is "to arrange and put your contents in a frame efficiently " This is called composition. If you don't know how to do this you fail in photography in the first place. Cropping an image is giving an image a second chance. So you do a photo-surgery to make reborn a photo. I am not talking about very slight cropping to eliminate a distraction into the corner of an image a eliminate a horizontal line to straighten a photo. Those things are some practice acceptable. No good photographer is shooting photos giving priority to crop his photos enhance his photo. Old photographers used larger format and they had the advantage to get an effective photo by cropping bigger negatives.sometimes. But not all the photographers did it though. I never crop my photos as they are made already cropped in my camera into the final photo. So I have learned how to put everything properly into my Camera frame.

19:00 Perhaps the golden triangle technique also approximates the rules of thirds. The same with the golen spiral which is based on the rule of 5/8s. - Some say it's a more exact version as opposed to 1/3. The bottom line might be: Photography compositions should be intuitive. The mathematical explanations involved can only go so far. It's still the human mind who will ultimately decide which photos are better.

Hey Eric! I’ve spent years studying dynamic symmetry and art so if you want a real quick rundown of all the hocus pocus behind the Golden Ratio heres my understanding! Leonardo Bonacci, also known as Fibonacci, was a mathematical genius from Italy during the middle ages. The Fibonacci sequence, when described as the side lengths of squares form the Fibonacci spiral and the ratio of the side lengths of that rectangle made by spiraling those squares outwardly are 1:1.61... or the golden ratio as you stated above. The sequence is derived from the addition of the two preceding values in the sequence starting from 1. So the set goes 1,1,2,3,5,8,13... anyway the importance of this becomes apparent concerning the way things multiply or grow in nature like how a flower can grow more petals as its width increase which is in itself a function of how many petals it had before. Representations of this in art are seen as very natural and pleasing. Essentially, Fibonacci was the first person after the ancient greeks to document objectively the state of being or containing “natural beauty” within art. I think this is amazing because a mathematician (some of the most objective people on the planet) gave us, artists (some of the most subjective people on the planet), the language to finally describe why a simple piece can sometimes evoke incredibly powerful emotions! Anyway sorry this was reeeal long but i loved the video and I’m really digging the recent uploads!

when shooting, i always end up liking the portrait format more than the horizontal format. even for landscapes. do you think its easier to get alright compositions shooting vertivally, because you get more room to explore depth in your photograph? like: you see the sky and have a clearer line between foreground and background? or do you think both formats are equally "easy" to use? also: any thoughts on extreme formats like super wide or strange hight formats?

If someone shoots in the street he or she has all the time to think of this lines and rules? Did you think about all these rules and planed all your shots while you shot your photos. I think a lot of non-photographers or armchair photo editors or critiquers do as you are doing now, It is a just wast of time, the best way is to just get rid of this nonsense about rules. and look into the good photography, do research see others work and go out and shoot. Burn films. eat films, or if you are using digital keep clicking and go shoot and see how your work appeals and to compare to what you have seen. Trying to imitate the favorites will help until you understand how your shooting progress. Once you assemble your shooting if you understand if you find a similar view of lens angle or your capturing the moment will indicate your style. One thing you have to understand is" not to look for easy shots " which is just snapshots- Copping a scene. It is not the rules you should follow while you are a photographer. It is a viewer's job. Leave the rules, judgments, rules of triangles lines and golden or silver rules as their choice. So most of the photographers had no rules and they were most of the times straight forward about it. Be one of them and free to focus on making photography. Be inspired and learn to get influenced by others is the way to start.
