The One Trick to Instantly Improve Your Composition

Your environment is the greatest photography tool you have.

3:25 "...creates a sense of depth." MaybeYes. But what you've lost is the greenish colour in the middle-left backdrop which nicely befriended the red-behind-the-phoneman.
Win some, loose some (more).

The photography channel that is actually about photography, something rare on youtube, thank you so much Faizal. This was beautiful and humble. 💙

I started doing photography about two years ago, I thought that at some point I’ll be far past this chapter and I wanted to document this moment in my life. Now I’m sixteen still shooting and my photos have changed so much but I don’t really know what I changed about my photos they just got way better. From shooting double wides and walks down the train tracks to under highway bridges and lakes we don’t have permission to swim in. My photos have told a story that I’m glad I took the time to take, edit and enjoy. Your work has 100% helped me with my work. You changed the way I approached work thank you for that! Love your channel!

Not only is your image making impeccable, but your video skills are just top notch. Thank you for taking the time - highly appreciated.

Adding foreground elements is one thing I’ve realised I struggle with most in my photography videos. Yet it’s probably the most important rule to create depth and interesting images.

I love Faizal’s channel because it’s not exactly geared towards professional photographers (there’s tons of those out there it’s saturated on yt) but rather on the creative aspect of an enthusiast. These types of videos may seem basic to a pro, but are fun tips for those who still have fun with a camera and aren’t necessarily just taking stoic pics for money.

As a newbie experimenting with street photography, this video is so so helpful! Thank you for sharing different ways of observing and seeing! Will definitely practice using the environment as a foreground.

Thanks! Really took a lot away from this one. 🙏🏾

[RolandKaufmann]

This was super helpful to see how you go about adding layers! I love using elements in a scene to frame subjects. When it works out it’s so rewarding.

actually one of the best videos on photography I've watched in a while, really got me excited to go out there and make new photos

[eduskpwr]

Dude, you are so inspirational, the way you feel and express photography is amazing.

[photomorti]

These videos are allways so calming. The photos, the music, the B-roll footage it just works so well. Great tips aswell, ive learned a lot from this channel.

Watching this makes me wish I had done so sooner; there were so many shots during an event that I could have approached differently when I was struggling with composing the shots.

[syanshih]

haven't watched your stuff in awhile. You've improved so much since!!

[annieragot]

Thank you so much for sharing this tip! It’s something that I unconsciously do, but not always. I sometimes wonder why a good photo will feel like it’s still missing something, and THIS is literally the solution most of the time.

So, the past 2 days, I’ve started doing this consciously and it has made an incredible difference in the simplest of images. Thank you!

[thientrieu]

Fantastic images!!! And awesome tips! I need to get out and try these. Learned something today. Thank you so much!

[Crosado]

I’ve watched many videos on composition and this was the most helpful & inspirational!
