thank you for this very valuable video
Just discovered this channel, and really loving this composition series, have a sub and a like.
Loved the new intro.. 🙄💜
Thanks a lot for the great tips and information you give us in all your videos. They are a big help to me as I am planning to start a fresh pasta making page on instagram and it is very important for me to present good quality images with right composition in my page. Have a great time
Thank you!
omg i feel like i am in school that i enjoy. thank you for this and more
Just bought a bunch of those vinyl backdrops. Couldn’t find that pink one you used. Saw a pink marble with a lot more veining. I guess they don’t make it anymore?
Love your content SO much, BTW!
Ive missed your videos!
What a channel! Great stuff!! Just what I'm looking for! I'm curious about your background and training, not that it matters, but I'm still curious.
Thanks so much for putting these videos together Shakin Bacon girl. ;)
Great video
Hi Joanie, great video. Just a little suggestion..that when in future you show images as examples can you do 2 images instead of one in center, so that 1 image remain as it is (maybe left side) and on another one (right side) you can draw and show us the point that you are explaining. 😊
Agree!😊
Will do. Thanks!
Just discovered these composition videos, fantastic wish I'd found them earlier.
Glad you like them!
The toast looks amazing. Perfectly cut and perfectly toasted. Mmmm Do you actually keep ciabatta rolls at your house? I only buy them for Italian sandwiches...
Do you have any videos on shooting at the 45 angle? I love your videos they have helped me so much!
Bravissima!
Amazing, what a great video. I never thought about these things. I always just place my plates and decide if this looks nice or not. I'm having trouble with some foods while other foods just go easy. Perhaps I should consider the lines at my next photos.
By the way, I find it very interesting that the German word "Gestalttheorie" is used in English too. Never heard about that ;).

Its used as a psychologická term all over the world.:)

I've never even heard of watermelon radishes!!! Very cool subject! This video was exactly what I needed today - thank you!
They are so fun to shoot with (and eat, too)! Glad to help

If the have your first item like a tea pot with a spout if the spout is pointing right would your first reaction to starting the setup of the composition be to place the pot on the left and point it right toward the open negative space? I guess I’m wondering whether some items might create an implied visual line that needs to be taken into consideration.
Excellent tutorial. Can you please share the dimension details that you are using for your vertical and horizontal images.
Thank you so much for the video. Really interesting. I'learning food photography and I have a question. In 8:32, the frame of toast, if we read from left to right, could be better if this image is horizontally flipped ? Because looking at the image, I see that all the weight is on the right side. Or in this case this detail does not matter? Thank you in advance for your answer. Please more video about composition.
Hi Joanie, nice series of vids you have. I assume you are using some large led light panel for lightning your videos. It renders very nice and soft picture. Which one is it? Thank you.
If you are going to a client to take photos of their food.. do you just take photos of what they give you or do you style the food? What I mean is do you get involved in the prep or do you leave it to them and work with what you get given?
Joanie, from your experience for beginners & novices, would you recommend anything else besides what stated in video (e.g. pre-planning the shot such as draw out planned composition). I suppose pros like you compose on-the-fly, spontaneously. I notice my food photographs are "boring" though the actual food tastes great and has many textures and ingredients.
Awesome content as usual! 😊 Question about the books..... do you recommend reading them cover to cover or do you use them more as a reference when needed?
Cover to cover, for sure!
How do I get the background to blur (portrait style) on my smart phone?
Hey Joanie 😊 Just a quick qestion. Do you know some video on How to combine colors in food photography (like which color fits with another color and so)? Or would you make a video on this topic? 😄 That would be awesome ❤️ Thanks
Check out the link with the lineup of books on the Book Club 🤗 I think you’ll love March!
Ok, since you like gardening, I wonder if any photographer has used some of the permaculture design patterns to compose their photos. (If you don't know permaculture design, search Geoff Lawton's videos.) There are almost never straight lines in nature, so it makes me wonder why we are so preoccupied with them in art.
I love your videos - thank you. but I must say I cannot really see those lines, not the way they are marked by you. I look at it and try to see where the lines are before you expose them and 9 out of 10 I see it completely different. Am I approaching it wrong?
So why we talk about "Don't break your line".Thanks for your tricks
See, this is why you wrote a book... AGAIN :)
Gestalt = shape/figure/form. It’s German
Overall your videos are amazing and I cannot express enough how much i like them.
But here, “the eyes see what they want to see”. And in a few cases for me you were looking for lines that are just not there. So for people there are learning through this video is quite “dangerous” because of instead of using lines on their compositions, they are going to “try to find lines to justify their composition”, that are just not there.
So interesting! Thanks🤩
