  • Photo Assignments! This is number 11 and it deals with a photography composition technique called "Subframing". Essentially subframing is using elements in your composition to frame up the subject - its like a picture in a picture. There are many ways to use this technique, you can be subtle or more obvious, but its an excellent way to create more depth in your photography composition.

    Learned this from Peter McKinnon awhile back (actually it was my first PM video and now I'm hooked). I've been playing with it a lot recently and I love it! I'm totally loving all these photo assignments too! They make it easier and way less intimidating to try out new techniques, especially for someone who is just starting out like me and slowly working their way up.

    When comes of serious photography learning on TH-cam, it is you, Ted, John Free and Sean Tucker who matter the most. And of course any videos containing Bruce Gilden (yes, I love him!), Jay Maisel and a serious of B&H videos are also gold. Thank you for the priceless information and teaching.

  • @nandoblondemobydick5438
    @nandoblondemobydick5438 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello Ted:
    what Scale element means in composition, is basically three things. (apart the famous rule of thirds)
    1º a big subject make it look like if was small
    2º a small subject make it look as if it was big
    3º when you are in in front a big landscape i.e. a reference as the human body or well know animal figure helps to get an idea on how big is the landscape
    Nice you mention it, cause very few knows that elemental rule of the visual message :-) the photos you analyzed have more to said than just the framing (some have lines created by shadows which produce a certain inquietud in the viewer and more to said about dynamic or leading, some could be better with a tone play to create a little more depth, i don´t know you but my first encounter was when you analyzed the Leica DG Panasonic 12 mmm f/1.4 glass, which is really a very special lens for MFT loved the way you explain and your examples.
    I have learn composition from Jose b. Ruiz and of courses Dondis, cheers

    If you ask me.

    Your way of talking is nowadays much slower, has much more humour in it.
    I'm unsure whether to remake these videos.
    You've become a much cooler presenter than back in the days.

    Another great photo assignment to which I'll try my best to participate, last time the film came back just on the day you released the video .Also one thing I noticed is that if I get to your video when not logged in ,everything both title and description are in broken Italian ,I assume that they are translated automatically by google translate. I just wanted to tell you so that you know .Morevover I wanted to ask you a suggestion, I wanted to buy a book on the history of photography do you have any recommendations? Thank you in advance , and now I'll go out shooting to avoid wasting time
