    Hi Alex. Sitting here at my desk, listening to Debussy's Le Martyre de Saint Sebastien, the jacket notes have a wonderful quote from conducter Charles Munch: "Music is the art of expressing the inexpressible. It goes far beyond what can be conveyed by words and what can be explained by intelligence. Its domain remains that of the imponderable, the impalpable, of dream. The conductor's sensitivity must be a mirror in which music is reflected, like nature in the eye of the painter. When Renoir painted a landscape, he brought out its poetry, its warmth, its mystery." Imagine replacing any musical reference to that of photographer or photography. I think it's equally poignant.

    I want to say that I appreciate your approach to the necessary evils of promotion. You worked in your sponsor and sub request so incredibly smoothly, without breaking your cadence in the slightest. I would almost say I didn't even notice them, but even better, I didn't automatically tune them out like I do with other content creators. Very well done.

    I was just reading Andreas Feininger's The Principle of Composition in Photography - a book released in 1973. The first chapter is named: Technique + Art = Effective Photograph . I think photo school can teach you about the technical aspects and confront you with art but you have to find your own way to put things together in a meaningful way, make use of what you have learned to create your own sentences.
    Thanks for another excellent video! I'm sure it will help my to find my way.

    Great ideas in this one. Shapes vs Forms. The importance of light, color, lines, textures.

    One thing I always love to do ever since I started shooting in black and white when I was in high school is to bring those lines just a smidge out of focus. The reason why I did this was it kind of added this bit of surreal dreaminess to the scene and it reminded me of playing the video game Myst on the PC back in the '90. The resolution for games back then was nowhere near as sharp as it is today and there was something about that light fuzziness of the lines on the pre-rendered scenes in that game that always drew me in so depending on what it was I took photos of I would sometimes try to bring that soft tone to my images.

    Alister Benn (Expressive Photography on UA-cam) talks about the "five triggers of engagement" in photography: luminosity, color, contrast, geometry, and atmosphere. You are discussing the same concepts, just with different vocabulary. You really are two peas from the same pod! I'd love to hear another discussion of photographic art between the two of you.

    Alex, your channel brings me great joy and constantly challenges my "photographic eye". Thank you. Now the criticism, whenever you speak of colour photography you do not use examples of the work of Harry Gruyaert, Magnum Photo's first photographer who shot exclusively in colour. Please give the guy a break.

    My photography circles around sharpness / contrast, interesting subjects, and background / composition. Looking at images using sharpness, lines, shapes, forms / depth, texture and color is enlightening. Thank You for another very helpful session. How about a session on a single subject, like a guitar, in various settings?
