I always wish these series would show the raw unedited photo alongside the final edit. That way we can see what your editing intention was. Simply seeing the final image doesn't really explain too much to the viewer, in terms of what the original shot looked like. Many will no doubt go out looking for these types of photos, despite the fact that they do not exist like this without editing. Seeing the unedited shots provides much more info to someone trying to learn. When my photographer friends showed me their unedited shots, scenes and composition began making much more sense to me. I could see the starting steps of the shot, and then the final result.
This topic is forgotten by many. I'm glad your community is growing here Pat. You deserve it.
aw thank you! glad you're enjoying the content so far! :)
Random: you can’t edit a photos
Pat: hold my preset and watch.
My favorite contrasty pic I’ve taken was of a guy walking two dogs, one was a huge white dog and the other was a tiny black dog lol
you should come over to our discord channel and share it!
Hi Pat, I'm 42 and have only been taking pictures for 5 months. Your vlogs have helped my photography come on so fast it's unreal. I've watched many other vloggers and haven't learnt near as much as from you. Your manner and how your explain things is superb. Thank you 👏👏
I’m really liking how calm and concise you are in your videos, it’s refreshing to hear in the world of TH-cam. Thanks for the great insights and tips
my pleasure! thanks for watching!
My favourite photography channel right now hands down. Your content is so meticulous and intricate and it shows how much intention and work goes behind them! Thank you for all the great information you so greatly manage to deliver 🧡
Hi Pat Kay, thank you for all your content, very inspiring and educational.
Thanks pat. I been learning alot from you. Carry on. I appreciate theses series
You are my fav photography youtuber :) really love your videos, explanations & your photos. Really inspiring 💖
No idea why this series was recommended to me 2 years after its release, but I'm so glad for it! Great explanations of important subjects, backed up by absolutely stunning images as examples. Well done and thank you for creating this!
Great series, hooked since vid #1 and love to see more about this. Learning something new and want to try it out immediately after watching! Keep it up!
Sweet Lesson Pat thank you .. wishing you a great week brother stay well
hope you stay well too! :)
Love this series. So informative and easy to absorb. Damn so lucky i found your channel. Its helping me a lot! And the best part is, its for free!
MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT! Fan from the Philippines
my pleasure!
This series is great thank you for the work you put into this.
Thank you for making such a useful series, Pat! Very beneficial for beginner photographers.
my pleasure! thanks for watching :)
glad of this expansion of the meaning of contrast; plenty of scope for creativity there! the overall colours and visual of this video reminds me of your images! ☺️ 🙏🏼
glad you liked the vid! :)
I'm just a comic artist trying to get better at color theory. For some reason your lessons have helped me tremendously despite me not being a photographer. Keep up the great work!!!
love this playlist! thank you!
Thanks for all what you do, Pat. After a year learning photography, I feel I learned so much with your videos. You make it enjoyable and easy to see, just need more practice, but please keep doing what you do🙃
my pleasure! hope you continue to keep watching :)
Amazing content, Pat!
Thank you for making content! Very insightful
Thanks for the video Sensei! I finally caught up with the videos! and yes I'm subscribed now! I will look forward for more!
Thanks for spreading the knowledge 🤜
Thanks Pat !
I love this series!
i love that you love it!
Great video. You covered a lot it 10 minutes, but one idea that I found especially useful is that bringing the highlights up and the shadows down to the point of losing detail can enhance the photo by increasing contrast. In the future I will be less afraid of losing definition if it makes for a more dramatic image.
Love your videos. Keep it up!!!
you are a great teacher .. Thank you for sharing knowledge ‼
So close to 50k bro!!
I like that I was using conceptual contrast when I was in Frankfurt (old vs. new architecture) before that there's a term for it! Amazing video
I've picked up my old photography hobby slowly in the last few years. Of all the TH-cam channels I stumbled on, only two including yours produced systematic, quality educational material, helped me more focused when I approach a view or look at a photo, and led me naturally for more learning. Once I finish these episodes, I will get on your Patron site for more study. Aside from all the content, I like the cover page for these episodes, and I'm also thinking a page of text summary in each episode might be helpful when we need to recall these highlights, but I am not sure...everyone's thinking process is different.
Lovely video. Thanks.
Pat Kay, iTHANK You dearly 🙏🙏🙏
thanks for watching!
I love these videos
I started the 27,4 photos per day recently, and just yesterday i say this tree with red flowers in front an apartment with blue lights. It felt good to shoot it, but now that i understand this you added a new lens to my vision. Thanks for your vids Pat!
hopefully that continues! thanks for watching :)

@@patkay She's actually the reason I started following you :p She showed some of your work, and not long after I bought your e-book. Been planning a trip to Japan for about a year now :(
I've now set my hopes up for a visit next spring or Autumn, fingers crossed!
4:23 well said
4:56 need to not be afraid of doing this as well! A lot of the times I feel like I “have” to stick to rules like the shadows shouldn’t be too dark, but in special cases, tonal contrast just makes it better

Love your content
thank youuu!
thank you
Thank you very much
Great Content 🔥🍃
thank you!
These videos should not be free!! I have learned a lot from these set of visual patterns videos.
Whenever I hear the word "contrast" I cannot help but think of Nicole Kidman as Virginia Woolf in the movie "The Hours." While in the process of writing her novel, "Mrs. Dalloway", Virginia says something like, I added another character for CONTRAST. This is the same concept as in photography but used in literature. A very useful concept.
Where’d you get that hoodie? Serious question
Me taking out my notebook....
Okayyyy I'm ready, professor! 🤣
How many colours of that cool hoodie do you have?!
what fonts do you use, e.g. on the thumbnail?
As always, great video.
Now..let me test my visual skills:
In the blurred background I see a 70-200 lens (hope I got it right), the reason of why you didn't put it up and it lays down, is because it would draw to much attention?
Or..I'm crazy :))
I have a question, how do you have such clean looking images, the whites seem to be so bright and dont do that weird fade thing when a bright spot in the sky fades towards a darker blue sky. And the pictures also look so damn clear, is this due to camera and lens or is it an eidting thing? I shoot on a nikon d7100 with nikkor lenses and I dont feel like my images are quite as crisp as yours. Thanks

I’m surprised this guy hasn’t started charging 🙏🏽
i do have a patreon and membership though if you do want to support 😂. but happy to give this stuff out for free!
Get out there and make something that matters!
Pat - Hello my lovely Photogs
Me - Hey bro, you back at it today with another banger?
Pat - Welcome back to another video, welcome back to the series on a visual patterns, the series where we break down visual language into visual patterns so that we can better understand the heuristics of photography and how best to apply them to our work
Me - .... F@&k yeah, man.
HAHAH you fkn crack me up 😂
@@patkay I try man, I try. But seriously thank you for the content. Your videos have not only been a great resource for knowledge but have also gotten me out of an 8 month creative funk/depression. I cannot thank you enough.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🙏
Yoooo
Why do pictures always have to pop and have contrast 🙂
Thanks,but practicals are better than theory
