Edward Weston once remarked " Composition is the strongest way of of seeing." It surpasses all other considerations. The point is no photographer could see the photo and compose, if that finger does not lift from the shutter button, and give the eye a chance to engage with the brain. Some very good advice. Well done.
I appreciate the fstop and the clarity slider advice; the irony is you shoot at 1.2 or 1.8 because youve been told its the cool thing to do, then crank up the clarity slider in post, not realizing if you had shot at say 2.8 or f4 for better focus, you wouldn't need to use the slider at all. Great video!
When you said just bc someone else has all the followers doesn't mean they're any different than you! That hit me. I beat myself up bc I don't have them all and although I see beautiful images when I look at my work, I get doubtful of myself when I post to my IG and realize only 250 people are looking and only 125 are liking.
I'm focusing on m likes instead of my love for photography! Concentrating on intention will reward more!
Definitely needed this. New follower from Huntsville, Al! 😊
One thing that I appreciate you as a content creator and as a photographer is that you out of all should have more subscribers, but you are still happy with what you got and leaning towards the ones with even smaller follower counts, replying to comments and actualy BEING THERE for your audience.
Love you and your videos 👍🏻
That’s kind Timo and I appreciate it. I know what I’m working towards and I’ll get there one day! Let’s have a chat some time.
@@ItsJonnyKeeley Anytime 👍🏻 and yeah, we should have a chat someday!
i feel that same way. its was difficult for myself as well • with that gear isn’t the big part endlessl - You understand the concept of a craft. the cost 💲 most important as well 😮
Composition and light. Everything else is a bonus 😁
Oh I am so guilty of overshooting everything haha. Each time I open my files I ask myself why I decided to put myself through this haha. Also I feel like composition is a very intuitive thing, both for video and photography. Love your lit up gear shelves too, can't stop looking at them!
Accept what you are and where you are in your journey - fantastic advice and something that I never really let myself do. Thank you for this.
I generally love listening to you explain things.. thanks for always being you.
Thank you 🙏
These are the best type of comments. 👍🏻
Some genuinely good points here that certainly resonate with me. I think the greatest learning experience I had was buying a 35mm point and shoot camera. Shooting on film forced me to shoot less. I would never take the same photo twice - if the shot doesn’t work, it doesn’t work and every shot was literally costing me so I made sure they were worth it. Also being limited to a single focal length on an automatic camera forced me to focus on composition and light and not think about camera technicalities. I think I learnt more in one year of shooting like that, that I wouldn’t have if I immediately bought a manual SLR camera. Then when I upgraded to one, Looking for light and composition came more naturally allowing me to focus on camera settings and becoming intentional with my choices.
I was at a friend's wedding once and the photographer was old school. I couldn't believe he was just firing off single shots on his Canon 1Dx. He obviously started on film and knew he was capturing the right moments.
I would have been burst moding the whole event 😅
Good points ... best tip is a cabin on 5:36 😍
Great vid! Can only applause the tips! Overshooting is still a struggle for me, though, it is a blessing and curse when it comes to wildlife photography, as those moments you want to capture can truely be seen for just a split second. But with other genres I really trying to stop my overshooting. This is partly due to my lac of focus on composition… so i hope you will do a video on composition - especially for interior and environmental portraits! Good work as always!
I absolutely love what you said about the tool. I have mostly shot on an iphone and feel i have gotten pretty good with it. I just literally purchased the Canon 90d and received it a couple days ago. i'm a little nervous about it but excited at the same time cause there is so much more to technically learn now. I just don't want that to get in the way of the actual photo. There's always room for growth with what and how you photograph something. I feel i'm always learning through yours and others videos and then getting out there so that will never end but i felt gear wise i was ready for a change. But you can bet your bottom dollar i will always still use my phone too. I feel like it's the underdog in a lot of photographers opinions and i just like proving them wrong. lol Excellent video Sir. Really enjoyed it and got a lot from it.
Another great watch. Thanks Jonny
Wise words Jonny
thanks for sharing this great advice
Oooh boy.. The over editing gave me some flashbacks. Good to know i've been past that.. Another tip: go out, but don't force yourself to shoot the "perfect photo". Too much pressure isn't good.
Yeah that’s a great tip, I could’ve done with that one 4 or 5 years ago!
THANKS, as always! 🙏🏻❤️
My pleasure!
Precise and to the point. Excellent video
Thank you
Great advice, Thanks!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it Paul!
Excellent advice, Jonny! I'm guilty of the clarity slider, haha 😅 I learned that was a very bad idea. Now, I remove clarity, especially for the portrait. And take photos with more intention, of course.
This is a great video that I needed to watch. Thanks
Glad it hit mate!
This is Great Advice for all photographers old and new. Talking about "Committing to your Composition"" What are your thoughts on Vivian Maier ?? I recently watched the documentary on her and as you said, focus on your work, not Social media, and she certainly did that to the extreme. I know she was not a Landscape photographer, but just wondered what you think of her work as she never really knew a 'Digital' world or any photo editing. (Also I'm about to start scanning all of my B&W negs from the 80's of London 🙂📸 so I will put up some videos of them on my channel later this year as her work really inspired me to look back on my old street photography.
I’ll chip in.
I’m not sure what her hit rate was, there’s 100,000 photos or so and it’d be hard to not get a banger occasionally. And I know some would try to detract from her perceived talent however I think she’s a goddess, truly devoted to the cause 🫡
Great advice all taken on board 👍
Great!
Nice one Jonny. ✌️
Thank you
Very good advice Jonny. Great job!
Thanks, I appreciate you dropping by!
@@ItsJonnyKeeley no problem. I love your content Jonny. Keep on making stuff. Your work is wonderful and inspiring.
I appreciate this. These are tips that i try to follow myself. Mainly, practice makes perfect. Over time i am learning little by little. I used to think that i had to have a new camera to take good photos. But now I learned that that is far from the truth. I wish all fellow photographers well on this journey. Enjoy
I think for time to time a new feature turns up that really makes a difference like eye tracking or something but for the most part they’re just incremental quality improvements and have little impact on someone’s ability.
Not just advice for beginners!
I’ll be honest some of it is advice for myself, right now!
I said to someone I shoot like I'm still shooting film. Every shot costs money so I make sure every shot is worth taking. That said, I do experiment more because of digital and will sometimes over shoot when I'm someplace that it is going to be very hard to return to.
Yeah, I totally get that!
Some of the best piece of advice out there, especially the last one. Love it! Also, I really like the font on the thumbnail. Can someone tell me what is it called?
Thanks mate, it's called glamour (something). FYI I had to buy it so you might not find it for free.
Practice will never make perfect...but being out of practice will hold you back no matter how long you've been a photographer.
Very true
I am 100% digital but I shoot like I only have 3 roll of 36 with me.
3 frames at a time. I still know by muscle memory when 8 frames are done then 18, 28 then count down to 36.
After thousands of rolls it just never goes away.

I bet, when I started it was just at the end of modern film cameras. I had a Minolta something or other which was fun but didn’t have the vibe of classic cameras.
I went to film school though and we shot everything on super 16, it was a dream dropping the cans off at soho images and getting them back digitised.
I just recently bought the A6400 with the 18-135mm kit.
Would it be worth it to refund it and buy the A6700 with the 16-50mm kit for $200 more dollars?
Turn the camera off when changing lenses with mirrorless, when the camera is on the sensor acts like an electro magnet and it sucks dust onto the sensor.
That's a good shout. I wish they all brought down the shutter like the A7IV.
@@ItsJonnyKeeley me too.
I recently saw a facial portrait sharpened to the point of deconstruction. Sadly, this passes for high-traction on socials. The same goes for over-saturation.
We all go through it, but the likes do feed the beast.
Take less photos is very interesting advice!
Maybe a better way of putting is make them count and make each shot the best it can be.
@@ItsJonnyKeeley Totally! It's what I've always tried to do, but get given out to for taking too long to take a photo! My brother always says "just take loads of photos, they're digital, it's free, one of them will be good!" 😂
@@Diffusion8 That's solid advice to start, but as soon as you want to improve your composition that extra time taken pays off!
Great advice…. but take “less” photos?
Fewer Jonny lad, fewer 😂
Ha, you got me.
Nope. To your point 3 and other "composition is king" statements: I recently went on a Paris street photography trip and it was like a light bulb went off (yup, pun intended) .... light FIRST and NOT composition first. I chased the light every day and my photos are far superior because of it 👌 fact.
Totally agree, the light in your composition is arguably the most important part.
My point is compose the shot before you take it.
@@ItsJonnyKeeley oh... I thought your point was "composition is king" ... silly me 😉
Great advise!
and
I saw the Mauzy book... nice!
Well spotted! That book cost me £60 in postage :)
@@ItsJonnyKeeley yeah, for us in Europe comes premium. Unfortunately it's out of stock and I don't have it.
