To interview someone of the stature and talent of Huntington Witherill without sounding patronising, ill-informed, or a total idiot takes a very intelligent interviewer who knows how to ask the interesting questions, give the interviewee room to discuss, and to show his understanding of the points raised by the interviewee. A brilliant interview and very enjoyable video with a master photographer and a master interviewer.
Thaks Mark, I appreciate that! My secret is asking questions that I really want to know more about, especially his take on the subject. Stay tuned for the AYP book where many of these points are covered.
I consider myself a pretty advanced landscape photographer until I see somebody like Mr. Witherill who is truly a master. Those first couple of images are things I would not have seen and taken my camera out for had I walked right past them. That first photo of a puddle looks like it could have been a big landscape from Canyonlands or Zion. That's what I thought it was when I first saw it. Thanks for the video. I got more out of it than a hundred of the videos from young photographers doing the same old stuff. I have subscribed.
The best explanation of visualization I've heard. I always thought it meant seeing the final image before you see the scene. That never made sense to me. This does, though.
He tackles some big questions - like what visualization means to him, giving us advice from Edward Weston and Minor White in particular. He shows us some of his images and talks through how and why he captured them, giving some big insights into composition.
Nice, I've never heard of this photographer but based on what I've seen in this video I really like his work. Between his aesthetic, the grand piano and his obvious mastery of the medium he's a great successor of the master himself Ansel Adams.
Hi Mark: Thanks for this video. I feel fortunate to be able to share this perspective, insight. and beautiful photos with you and Huntington. .I feel fortunate. Fred
Hi Mark: Thanks for this interview and exposure to this creative photographers perspective of the strongest way of seeing. These scenes reminds me of some of our Pacific High School field trips into the Sierra and Deserts of California. Fred
Marvelous black and white photographs. Huntington W. is definitely a MUST see. Thank you so much for sharing that experience. BTW : You got to see a whole lot of great images there...lucky son of a gun.
+Jerome Milac yes he really passes along some gems about composition and visualization. Hey, when you come to CA I can arrange for you to see them in person!
+Advancing Your Photography The explanation of what went into some of his works seeing his works and of course the questions that are asked are usually relevant
Nice! Yeah I love your videos. I think they are very useful for learning what photography represents, not about equipment or techniques, but the passion on it.
There's quite a few rules and techniques that can aid composition, but gifted photographers like Huntington certainly have an artistic eye for capturing compelling compositions which raises their photography to a true art form. Great interview as always Mark. Check out an incredibly talented Scottish landscape and travel photographer Bruce Percy www.brucepercy.co.uk. I'm sure you'll love his minimalist almost abstract style.
+dalemews1 you're right, and I'm hoping to explore with them what caught their eye so we can all learn from them . Thanks for the link to Bruce's site, beautiful work
Have you ever find yourself in a beautiful place and didn't manage to get a good composition. I've just finished travelled the Scottish Highlands and saw amazing landscape. Well my photos are not particularly great. They look like snapshot even if I played around with composition capturing many photos of the same scene. It seemed like whatever my angle was nothing seemed good.
sorry to hear. I'm actually writing a book to help you and in the short term I suggest you look at the work of artist that you admire and carefully look at how they achieved their effect. Then go out and try it yourself.

The best explanation of visualization I've heard. I always thought it meant seeing the final image before you see the scene. That never made sense to me. This does, though.
Glad to hear! It’s so important to fully grasp that concept and put it into use

The biggest help he could give would be to state what the approx ISO, F stop, and shutter speed are for each shot?
absolutely fascinating, just a shame it was so short.
+Paul C there will be more with him!

this is a real photographer, and he's not on instagram doing some meaningless shit as are all these instagram "photographers"
The videographer had way too much coffee. But the content is great.
Good video but showing the actual photo with Ken Burn (moving)..don't let us appreciate the composition.

Yep! I'll try!
Hey, I will let you in on a little secret.....ITS NOT A SECRET IF YOU TELL EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🤫
Not really a fan of his photos... interesting to hear from the experts tho
