  • THIS VIDEO: Five techniques that were developed over the centuries by artists in order to direct the viewer's attention towards the subject. Photographers are continuing to use these techniques
    1-on-1 MENTORING: graemewilliams.co.za/mentor-p...
    ABOUT ME: The conversations focus on topics related to different aspects of photography including: art, documentary and photojournalism. The discussions explore the personal experiences of photographers and artists and how their work reflects both their internal and external landscape. During the past 30 years I have photographed in over 50 countries for magazines including National Geographic, Time, New York Times and Newsweek. I have held solo exhibitions in New York, London and Paris and my work is showcased in private and institutional art collections around the world.

    Anothe rgreat video. Klein was formally educated as a painter and saw his negatives as a canvas on which he could express his final version

    Art history from historic to contemporary has been a great inspiration for my own personal photography. Gettin some insight in design basics for artists was another huge step for me (not neccessarily for others). Am into planned as well as spontaneous photography. Design basics go byond composition rules.

    thank you Graeme, another interesting video and I will go back and watch your previous composition videos 🙂
    I was wondering; I am naturally drawn to architectural minimalism and minimal architecture and while not all of my work is finished in B&W, a large part of it is. Do you have any thoughts on this, and could it make an interesting topic for one of your conversations?

      Hi I think you mean - a video on Minimalism...or are you thinking Architectural Minimalism specifically?

      @@PhotoConversations Hi Graeme and thanks for responding to my comment. I was more thinking of a sub group of minimalism, photographers focused more on architecture and abstract elements from the built environment. Photographers like Allen Koppe, of course Michael Kenna & Juius Schulman, potentially also Sebastian Raabe and maybe even Klaus Lenzen. I have looked at and can appreciate their work, but you help provide a more nuanced perspective on a photographer's work with your research and subsequent insights.
      Cheers

    There's two sorts of photographer, those that understand composition and those that put a vignette around the shot.
    Having painted with that oversized brush - I do think that those that take naturally to art/design/photography tend to have an instinctual eye for composition, probably learnt from looking at so many images that it has embedded itself in the psyche; thought isn't required. This lead me on to my suspicion of deconstructing works of art. Its often reminds me of people finding ley-lines on a map, if you're looking for a pattern/structure you'll find one, even if it is purely coincidental. As humans we just love patterns, even if it is Jesus's face in a slice of toast.
