I just stumbled across this. One of the most useful videos I’ve seen on TH-cam. Inspires me to revisit some photos and see what minimalist details hide within them - a good way of spending a cold winter evening.

You were ahead of your time in using"demure" 😅 Very educational and love how you captured minimalism and demonstrated why ❤

THIS! Exactly! 💜

This was outstanding! I think and visualize along these lines naturally, but I feel this took me just another step further.... challenging me to just push it at little further and to remember there are perfectly fine good pictures to look at and then there are great photographs to feel. A 36 minute workshop would normally have my mind wandering, but I was captivated every step of the way with this workshop. Looking forward to seeing your event at Sparta Camera Club this month. Well done!!!!!

I’ve played with minimalism on and off. I have forgotten how beautiful it can be. I will be playing with it more. Thank you.

Excellent video on critiquing. Thank you Judy 🙏😊

Great resource for black and white photography. Never used the tones in black and white but you have encouraged me to experiment with it in the future.

Hi Judy Thanks for a very informative video on Lightroom. My question to you is can you put your lightroom catalogue on an external hard drive and your photos on a second separate hard drive. Unfortunately my iMac is only 8GB of ram. Thank you for your great contribution.

Wonderful Video, very easy to understand and follow. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing! A great presentation!

Excellent. Thank you for this wonderful approach of photography 🙏🏻

I have admired minimalist photography in recent years and have the desire to look less at other's work and actually begin to do it myself. I've worked with a camera for over 50 years. Most of what I've done has been in fashion shots Or interpretive Portraiture. I have won some awards, but I preached the stage where Need to get more out of What I'm doing And I think I found What I've been looking for In minimalist photography. I learned so much From your 37 minutes Presenting The essence of what minimalist photography is all about. The information I received from listening to you has given me great insight and inspiration. I can't wait to get out into the world with my camera And look for the details like you described with examples. Thank you so much For sharing your knowledge In helping someone like me understand that there is so much more that can be done with my camera

I have just stumbled across this wonderful video....and wished I had seen it MUCH earlier. This is one of the best tuition video on minimilism in photography that I have ever seen. Others are OK and even very good, but your way of bringing out the powerful feeling of what makes the image special is in a league of it's own. I specifically like the way you show "normal" shots that can be very good as an image - and then show us what can be achieved by looking for the important parts. This comarison way of showing how to look further into an image is what sets your work apart. I feel invigorated to take my minilistic photography to a higher level. The mantra of "making the familiar look unfamiliar" is so well depicted in this video - Thank you so much for this.

Thank you Judy, this is the most clear video I could find on the internet 🙏

Absolutely one of the best presentations I have seen anywhere. Practical, down to earth and actionable. Thank you for all of the effort you have put into this work. I am out the door first thing in the morning with a macro lens.

Years as both a teacher and a photographer inform this entire presentation. A masterclass for the novice and not-so-novice. 🙂

Very nice presentation. Thank you for sharing such an invaluable knowledge.

I’ll try to be minimalist in my observations 😊. You have really nailed it. I imagine you are bursting with gratitude, recognizing beauty, everywhere. Truly wonderful, and an inspiration. Thank you for sharing this insight, Judy. Liked and subscribed

This was a wonderful video. Thank you for creating it.

In basic manual flash set up...if I want to use 2.8 aperture on the 12-40 pro...at iso 200 (outside portrait/people) so shallow depth of field desirable....how do I keep shutter speed under 1/250 if its a bright day and I want some fill in flash

Julie Dubose’s book, Effortless Beauty, is also available in PDF format on her web site. Not the preferred format, perhaps, but an option for those interested.

This was such a well done tutorial. Thank you so much, and greetings from across the pond (North Van).

Fantastic video. It’s seldom I sit taking notes as I watch a video but that’s exactly what I did here. Just outstanding.

Spot on! Excellent presentation. Thanks so much.

Excellent talk, you are a superb educator.

Excellent presentation

Very good tutorial, thank you

I’m not too far from you in the Lower Mainland. Really enjoyed this, gave me a lot to think about in my own photography. Will have to watch for your work when I’m on the island! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you. I'm learning BnW. I was constantly chasing 'how' to edit in BnW. But your discussion around 'why' has been eye opener. Thank you 😊

Great presentation and photos :-) M

As concerns light: I prefer LED light to flash. It takes a lot of experiments and adjustments to hit home with flash. Manipulating LED gives a more nuanced result without constant shutter activity.

You are the Sherlock Holmes of B_W photography Judy: you find something interesting looking in everything. Must be a very humbling experience for folks who travel to Iceland and the Tropics to find something interesting to shoot. They could just as well start taking a closer look at their garbage can first. For one, it's way cheaper and usually just as rewarding.

your depth of knowledge is outstanding and your communication skills are so lacking in our modern photography community in comparison. zen billings in niagara.

Judy I totally agree with the all the others - excellent explanations and examples! So isn‘t it a sin to give up all the opportunities to convert the colors by using a monochrome camera? Even in raw out of a monochrome camera you just got (only) blacks an whites to play with, some contrast and depth. Are those expensive tools only for night photography, or do you think you could make more use of it that would be worth to get one? Yeah, I purchased a pre owned one, but the first shots were just disappointing even with filters… did I wrong, am I just a victim of advertising? Kind regards, Andreas Grabinski, Germany

Great presentation, thank you!

Thank you. I needed this today.

I love your tutorial. Very Inspirational. No nonsense, just what I was looking for. Thank you so much. Brilliant!

Love this tutorial, it has inspired me to think differently 😮Thank you for this great tutorial.

Thank you for a beautiful and thoughtful video.

Invaluable. A brilliant refresher and lots of things I didn't realise -- especially on Lines. Thank you :)

Outstanding

Εxcellent.!! Thank you for sharing.

In viewing your videos which are second to none, I noticed a lot of jet black backgrounds, what do you use to achieve that wonderful background Thank you.

Judy, your talent and explanations of minimalist photography are amazing

Dear Mam, Thank you for creating such a beautiful video. It has given me a reason to pause and ponder about life and photography. May God give you health, happiness and light. 🙏

excellent video. Without all this fanciness of visual effects and pretentious music. Pure knowledge and isnpiration in its simplest form. After watching so many videos about photography, this presentation was an oasis. Thank you for sharing.

I love this ❤

Excellent!

Thank you for such a wonderful video full of beautiful messages ❤

Love your work so much - just need to find the time to get practicing more. I almost expected the THREE rules of minimalism to be simplify simplify... then nothing :) that thought made me chuckle :)
