Thank you everyone, I am very pleased you are all enjoying the talk. My hats off to B+H for hosting the lecture. Keep in touch, visit the blog, and I will see you at the next one.
I love the person that continues to ask questions. Boss energy. And so extremely helpful. Completes his incredible lesson. Remember to ask more questions folks.
What a dead crowd for such an inspiring teacher! 16 minutes in and I've barely heard a chuckle for his wit and cleverness on top of the quality of his instruction! I seriously hope it was just the noise cancelling mics doing too good a job at blocking out the laughter and appreciation. I'd pay for lessons with this man.
Finally, a presentation that explains composition and design elements clearly, with great examples. I really enjoyed this and will be watching it again. Excellent.
Thank you Adam, you really are passionate about your art and it shows. You are also one of the best presenters I have seen. I will need to watch this again and again but it will be worth it.
What a refreshing change from all the superficial approaches to photography that are centered on workflow and/or the Photoshop "tips and tricks" approach. Thank you Adam and B&H for the insights on taking an artistic approach to photography.
Another great and under-appreciated video from B&H with Adam Marelli. - Every single video with him has illuminated some new aspect of composition. Ignore the year, this is timeless advice. - Thank you, B&H and Adam!
Stopped the video at 16mins so I could sign in and LIKE IT!!!! This is a superb presentation with a yummy subject (I mean the subject of "design") hee hee... that is also well-paced, with excellent examples, by a passionate teacher. Mille grazie!!
Adam Marelli is absolutely amazing. This is the last of all his presentations that I could find. On top of everything else, he's given me the chance to read an absolute abhorrent unacademic book on sleep, but made up by introducing me to Constantine Manos, whose photos look absolutely stunning. I am now seeking a copy of his book.
Thank you B&H for bringing us this Master of the craft and providing a truly powerful class to the world. This is sooooo much higher quality and richer content than most of the influencer-type videos on UA-cam today. It seems like people want to isolate photography from the broader world of Art, and thus harp on elements like depth of field, leading lines, rule of thirds, and other compositional shortcuts. But the most powerful images are true works of Art in a very intentional manner, and this video is one of the FEW videos that have ever even suggested using formal art elements in photography.
One of the best I've seen. I often see an image and 'know' that its a bit special, but cant quite put my finger on why... this has helped me understand some basic concepts to explain this, which I hope will help me really improve. Also now appreciate HCB even more. Well thought out and delivered presentation - thanks B&H.
Such an informative lecture. It makes me feel as though I have been taking photos blindly and suddenly I see and I have a better understanding for my future photographs. Thank you
Just the kind of teaching I've been hungry for to advance my photography. A nice overview of the principals of classic composition, and bringing it into the workings of photography. I hope to use this in greater focus in my own work. Wonderful presentation, more than worth the hour and a half of my time... thanks Adam Marelli and B&H.
I like his method and approach to imparting knowledge and technique on Photography. I think he belongs to the new breed of young artists who, while upholding the wisdom of the old, create another perspective on looking at the art of photography.
The Event Space videos are normally very good and entertaining and informative; this challenged my way of looking at the image and exposed some real weakensses in my understanding of composition. Clearly explained for someone lacking an arts backgrond and supported with clear examples to help the understanding of the point. Stunning !! Thanks !
This one tutorial has finally gotten through to me what is necessary to become a better photographer. I am very thankful for this help. I can't wait to go and apply the teaching. Thank you Adam and B and H
This is an excellent presentation of composition. While related to traditional principles he discussed it in a very accessible way. I certainly am going to try to incorporate what was discussed here. Thank you Mr. Marelli and thank you B+H for making these event center presentations available to those of us who don't live in NYC.
Revisiting this after a few years. A wonderful talk by a gifted speaker and photographer. I haven’t really bothered with photography for a while, but I knew this talk would make me want to get my camera out :)
One of the best B&H videos/lectures I've watched. Awesome.

Thanks for this brilliant presentation Adam and B&H. To bad that no one major photoshop in Sweden are doing seminars and sharing on UA-cam like you do, keep up with the good work!.
OK newbie photographer here... watching this makes me realize I still have a lot to learn! Guess I will have plenty to watch with your 900+ videos :) thanks
Absolutely fantastic! Your father shared this with me. You are a great educator, very engaging & obviously well versed on the subjects of art & photography. I was thoroughly impressed & I know I will go back to this video & take notes. This first time I found myself truly enjoying the presentation and the topics presented. Photography is an art, just as any other. I found the presentation thought provoking & I look forward to going back to my photos & applying the information I have learned.
He is simply great. he attacks and defeats my initial understanding of photography as art. i always thought you have to have an eye for photography but he dismisses it. He says everybody can be a good photographer and this is important. It is warming and creates hope, for young people and for older people like myself. Listen to this guy.
Thanks for this wonderful job. Composition has always been difficult for most. At least me. When photographers talk about order from chaos, none has done better than this Adam. I have save this to "watch later" so that I can review this again and again.
Enjoyed the talk and the lecturer but would have liked to see more examples of how these techniques were used in classical painting. That was the purpose of talk.
Very interesting program. I appreciate B&H posting more in-depth (relative to UA-cam videos) lectures like this one, and would love to see more lectures on improving composition.
GREAT teacher and class! Thank you so much. I feel bad for getting so irritated with the woman asking questions. She deserves to get the extra attention she needs to learn at her pace. At the same time, the hundreds of thousands of people watching the video would be better served by holding these types of questions to the end. That way everyone can learn at an individualized pace. Questions about gear create basically empty space for people following the tutorial at its own pace; there's nothing to do but wait for the talk to resume or maybe try to multitask until the content comes back. If the lecturer moves too fast or says something I don't understand, I as an UA-cam viewer have all the time in the world to pause, research. I can ask a more experienced photographer IRL and come back to the video on another day.
We are pleased you enjoyed our presentation. Thank you all for watching and participating.
Thank you everyone, I am very pleased you are all enjoying the talk. My hats off to B+H for hosting the lecture. Keep in touch, visit the blog, and I will see you at the next one.
WOW!!! I am 15 minutes into this video and by far this is one of the best speakers/videos I have seen. Very well done and thank you for the knowledge.
I love the person that continues to ask questions. Boss energy. And so extremely helpful. Completes his incredible lesson. Remember to ask more questions folks.
What a dead crowd for such an inspiring teacher! 16 minutes in and I've barely heard a chuckle for his wit and cleverness on top of the quality of his instruction!

He's got some courses over at udemy.
Cool I’ll look for his courses 👍
It's probably the mic. It's a lava mic
Finally, a presentation that explains composition and design elements clearly, with great examples. I really enjoyed this and will be watching it again. Excellent.
Great thanks to Adam and that lady asking questions.
One of the best photography composition lecture
Definitely one of the best BH has posted. Maybe like my third or fourth time watching now, very educational
As someone educated as a mathematician, I see the shapes and lines intuitively. Being good in mathematics is helpful to see a scene.
Thank you Adam, you really are passionate about your art and it shows. You are also one of the best presenters I have seen. I will need to watch this again and again but it will be worth it.
I knew that this video was gonna be worth its weight in gold.
Timeless..... this is STILL a great video even after 4 years.
What a refreshing change from all the superficial approaches to photography that are centered on workflow and/or the Photoshop "tips and tricks" approach. Thank you Adam and B&H for the insights on taking an artistic approach to photography.
Another great and under-appreciated video from B&H with Adam Marelli. - Every single video with him has illuminated some new aspect of composition. Ignore the year, this is timeless advice. - Thank you, B&H and Adam!
I don't understand how this video didn't go viral. the information in this video is just so helpful for intermediate photographers.
One of the best tutorials I've seen, I'll be watching this again.
Thank you.
illuminating

Excellent presentation - one of the best B&H lectures I've watched. Thanks both to Adam and B&H.
One of the best presenters. Thank you, Adam, and B&H. You are very knowledgeable. I've watched it twice and will save it. Big thank you from Bangkok!
Fantastic lecture. More useful than any other photography discussion, ever.
This is one of the best photography video I have ever seen! Thank you so much for posting this!
Superb, understated, wry sense of humor and Adam knows what he is talking about.
Bring him back for more classes. His approach is so fresh and dynamic. Really, I enjoyed his teaching.

One of the best photographic lectures I have enjoyed in this forum. Thanks!
Marelli's talks on UA-cam are incredibly interesting and informative. Thank you so much for this, it has given me so much to think about!
Best presentation ever offered by B&H. Thank you. Sincerly. Loved this, keep giving us these high quality-video
One of the best videos on photography I have seen, this is content!
You are one of the best presenters. Hats off to you for your knowledge n passion in art . Clap clap.
I went to art school to be able to speak like Adam. I still cant. This level of articulation is a talent in itself. Nice job.
One of the best I've seen. I often see an image and 'know' that its a bit special, but cant quite put my finger on why... this has helped me understand some basic concepts to explain this, which I hope will help me really improve. Also now appreciate HCB even more. Well thought out and delivered presentation - thanks B&H.
Such an informative lecture. It makes me feel as though I have been taking photos blindly and suddenly I see and I have a better understanding for my future photographs. Thank you
Great presentation and explanation of an otherwise ignored subject for our modern times...this guy NAILED it!
This is fantastic, best video from BnH to date. bring this gentleman back and lets go a little deeper in the subject of composition.
Excellent - a wonderful presentation. A precise deconstruction of the language of the image.
Just the kind of teaching I've been hungry for to advance my photography. A nice overview of the principals of classic composition, and bringing it into the workings of photography. I hope to use this in greater focus in my own work. Wonderful presentation, more than worth the hour and a half of my time... thanks Adam Marelli and B&H.
I got here from Eric Kims site. Thank you very very much.
Thank you for the subtitles that made it possible for me to "hear" the questions from the audience.
Amazing lecture. I know it's good when I find myself taking notes. Bravo.
Thank you so much Adam for this amazing lecture on composition!!!
Very inspiring lecture. Mr. Marelli is one of the very best I have ever seen in the B+H channel.
This as well as one of the previous videos on photographic style should have a special place on your page. Both are great and work VERY well together.
I like his method and approach to imparting knowledge and technique on Photography. I think he belongs to the new breed of young artists who, while upholding the wisdom of the old, create another perspective on looking at the art of photography.

This one tutorial has finally gotten through to me what is necessary to become a better photographer. I am very thankful for this help. I can't wait to go and apply the teaching. Thank you Adam and B and H
One of the best in the series so far. Great presentation.
Fantastic presentation on strengthening composition and relationships between elements in the composition. Thank you.
I feel like totally noob after watching this, one of the best video from bhp if not the best.
Really nice... This is what people have to learn and care about if they want to improve their photography. Less snapshots and more photographs.
This is an excellent presentation of composition. While related to traditional principles he discussed it in a very accessible way. I certainly am going to try to incorporate what was discussed here. Thank you Mr. Marelli and thank you B+H for making these event center presentations available to those of us who don't live in NYC.
Excellent presentation, well done. It gave me a different view at photography that I have never seen before.
This video is so informative that I use it as a reference. I've returned and watched it on several occasions because it is so helpful.
Revisiting this after a few years. A wonderful talk by a gifted speaker and photographer. I haven’t really bothered with photography for a while, but I knew this talk would make me want to get my camera out :)
Point of interest - I haven’t
noticed Adam saying “ummm” once in this talk :).
One of the best B&H videos/lectures I've watched. Awesome.
Thanks for this brilliant presentation Adam and B&H. To bad that no one major photoshop in Sweden are doing seminars and sharing on UA-cam like you do, keep up with the good work!.
OK newbie photographer here... watching this makes me realize I still have a lot to learn! Guess I will have plenty to watch with your 900+ videos :) thanks
Great art based photography lecture. Really opened my eyes to the very basics of design within photography.
Absolutely fantastic! Your father shared this with me. You are a great educator, very engaging & obviously well versed on the subjects of art & photography. I was thoroughly impressed & I know I will go back to this video & take notes. This first time I found myself truly enjoying the presentation and the topics presented. Photography is an art, just as any other. I found the presentation thought provoking & I look forward to going back to my photos & applying the information I have learned.
Jesse Pinkman switched to photography now?
Anyway, amazingly refreshing turn for tutorial on composition. Well done!
He is simply great. he attacks and defeats my initial understanding of photography as art. i always thought you have to have an eye for photography but he dismisses it. He says everybody can be a good photographer and this is important. It is warming and creates hope, for young people and for older people like myself. Listen to this guy.
A truly educational video and not simply someone expressing opinions! Exceptionally well done! Thanks!
one of the most valuable photography lectures I have seen so far! thank you very much!
Wow Jesse Pinkman knows a lot about photography. Thanks Adam, great presentation. Very informative.
Thanks for this wonderful job. Composition has always been difficult for most. At least me. When photographers talk about order from chaos, none has done better than this Adam. I have save this to "watch later" so that I can review this again and again.
😊❤️I’ve watched this 3 times and love it! Thanks so much for sharing your time with us in cyber land👏🏾
Outstanding discussion of composition. TY for posting.
Why did I find this video only just now? Great lecture, actually learned something!.
You keep amazing me, Adam. There are no comparable free courses out there. You really "bridge a gap" with your content & didactics
Amazing presentation, so much food for thought (and experimentation)! Thank you!
21:30 some knucklehead's phone ringing! But kudos to him for not getting distracted.
I wish I could gite it a thumbs up more than once, because its just so great. Thx Henri :)
Thank you for organising and sharing this. And thanks a lot to Adam. Very informative.
absolutely amazing lecture...I started looking at things differently after watching this.
Thanks for your interest - please write to Adam Marelli directly at marelli13@gmail.com.
Great video! Really enjoyed the lecture. Can't wait to apply these lessons to my photography!
Thanks a lot B&H and Adam for for uploading this tutorial,.. very informative for me who does not have a formal background on arts and photography
This guy is great! One of the really good videos you guys put up!
Awesome lecture. Love the truth this guy spits.
Enjoyed the talk and the lecturer but would have liked to see more examples of how these techniques were used in classical painting. That was the purpose of talk.
Brilliant presentation!
Awesome!best video on composition ever!Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed this lecture! Great content and excellent examples.
hey BH people, i would like to thank you again for providing us information that makes us better photographers
Once again, such a great video, marred by editing that insists the presenter image carries more information than the presentation!
Incredibly insightful and generous!
a clear favorite. 2nd time watching
Thanks for this presentation, Adam and B&H. It was great.
Very interesting program.
I appreciate B&H posting more in-depth (relative to UA-cam videos) lectures like this one, and would love to see more lectures on improving composition.
Gonna watch this for the 5th or 6th time. It is essential for any serious photographer
Amazing video! This guy really does it excellent!
GREAT teacher and class! Thank you so much.
I feel bad for getting so irritated with the woman asking questions. She deserves to get the extra attention she needs to learn at her pace. At the same time, the hundreds of thousands of people watching the video would be better served by holding these types of questions to the end. That way everyone can learn at an individualized pace.
Questions about gear create basically empty space for people following the tutorial at its own pace; there's nothing to do but wait for the talk to resume or maybe try to multitask until the content comes back.
If the lecturer moves too fast or says something I don't understand, I as an UA-cam viewer have all the time in the world to pause, research. I can ask a more experienced photographer IRL and come back to the video on another day.
Just fantastic! Congrats!
Great lecture, the best so far.
This is a superb lecture. Really educational. Thanks.
Worth a second and third watch.
How I never learned this in 4 years of high school art is beyond me. Mind blowing.
I love 💕 the photographs of the boats !
Great speech, i think want watch again later...
