I'm very early on in my photography journey but I love a clean shot. There's something very satisfying about creating order from chaos. It also massively appeals to my ocd! I think minimalist, clean images are easier for the brain to understand too... Mine anyway! Keep up the great work Roman and I also particularly enjoyed your blog on 'You're a better photographer than you think'... Very helpful 👍🏼🙏🏼
Love this kind of videos. One topic, your own point of view, great examples, tips… i always feel inspired after that and try to implement even 10% of that to my photography. Thank you!
This is one of the best tip for all amateur photographers. Always abstract the unnecessary elements from the picture, including both object and color. Make it simple but focus on what you try to express, this will make picture more artistic👍👍👍 also after watch your video it literally makes me decide not to chase those high resolution wide angle gears anymore more, instead I spend more time on thinking how I want to structure and edit simple later.
That was very useful Roman, as I was looking for exactly that concept in the last days. The japanese concept of "Ma". You explained it very well here in a western way, easy to understand. Thanks and greetings from Berlin.
Great advice in this video. I actually was pretty obsessed with getting the most clean and minimalistic shots possible for a few years but as my photography progresses I find that I really like to add more and more complexity to my scenes. But it‘s a thin line of adding complexity and making an image messy.
Another great video with very useful tips. Thank you so much Roman. I tend to convert some photos into monochrome to get a cleaner photo and get rid of all colors which can be distracting.
I thought I had nothing to comment, but I love the idea of challenging myself to clean up some shots. I've been rather messy in my compositions lately. Well, winter's coming. Guess I'll have more of that minimal aesthetic. Happy Tuesday (well, you'll see this on Wednesday!)
First of all: Great shots. Second: Smart remarks towards the whole editing process but remember, when you use something like the "Spot healing brush" or equivalent to clean the environment of distracting things like paper on the floor, you will see that on big prints so you are better of with clone stamp tool and take tiny steps.
I use a very similar setup. I'm curious if when you shoot the 90 f2 to reduce clutter, focus on something, do you generally switch lenses a lot when you see shots that are wider, or do you stick to the 90 and just accept that you'll miss some wider shots? and then use another FL later and stick with it?
Hmm if I’m travelling I always have a wide, medium and tele if I’m using solely primes. If I’m in one spot for a long time and want to focus on photography or improve with that lens, then I will only take that lens for the day.
Sorry for the seemingly dumb question but when you refer to focal lengths are you speaking in field of view terms ie. Full Frame or the literal APC/M43 lens designations.
Full frame. Between APSC, m43, medium format and full frame it’s a nightmare. So if I use full frame as a benchmark, it makes life easier for everyone to convert it to what they need
Flat image with flat lighting. (shooting with light hitting the subject directly) It's obvious but it never clicked. Every day you learn something new :)
Excellent video. This type of photography is one of the few where harsh daylight may work to your favor.
Wow, great...thank you! Not what you hear over and over again in all those other channels but some real informative instructions here...
The best instructional photography video I have watched in a very long time. Thanks!
Very useful video, with lots of good advices. One of the best video’s I have seen in a long time

It’s not often you see someone recommending longer focal lengths. Well done!

Great instructional video Thanks Roman. Oh and i like the phrase “colour salad”. Im going to steal that one 😂

Good advice as always
Thanks 👍 🙏
Great stuff as usuall.
My kind of photography
I’d be interested to hear your take on Alex Webb. In many ways his images are not “clean” and yet the intent and subject matter are very clear.
Name rings a bell but not aware of his work. Will need to look

nice tips, any fuji sims that you can recommend?
I got a few blogs on my website about it

Probably FF equivalent, I’ve only just started the vid but he usually does

Go closer to the subject and use a wide angle lens to avoid clutter between you and the subject!
This is a great point! Thanks for adding it
how to get clean photos:: wipe your lens 🤣
Hahaha yeah that should have been the intro
Please make a video about shadows next.. the shadows and contrast in your photos are so good
Do you mind expanding please? What do you actually want to learn or find out?
You look really tired, are you ok?
This was filmed a few hours after a 15 hour flight with zero sleep. I was jet lagged to fuck lol
Thanks mate! This video is very useful 🫶🏻
Tips and photos on point 👌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
