Your comment got me to watch this video.

Dude you have such a strong way of articulating the intersection of all these elements that make great photos. A very well spoken analysis of the process!

ah thanks man, those words mean a lot to me. thank you! i appreciate you

I like that you called it visual patterns instead of rules because visual patterns refer to things embedded in psychology - they are things that masses of people have identified as "good" simply by how our brains are wired. Visual aesthetics can be learned (due to rules) but many of them are naturally occuring (patterns). Love this video, thank you for sharing

Yea that definitely is true but i find myself going back to my old photos when i was just taking them not thinking and not knowing of any rules but whit mindset of wanting to capture unique photo and the composition of them is more of wtf that is wierd than that is bad and they make me analyzing them more then just plane beautiful photos that followed all the rules as al the other same photos that followed the same rules. I would rather forget anything i learned then learn more about composition, tehnical side is needed tho. Authenticity wins for me as an artist more than a photographer, i would rather have bad photos in my own way than have them beautiful in others way.

I am a newbie and found your explanations simple to understand. There is so much content out there it becomes really overwhelming starting out and you have a real gift pointing out what to look out for. thank you

I love how you sectioned the video, it makes it easier for me to take notes. Greatly appreciated Pat!

The value you give in your videos is more than value to me. It’s an inspiration. So thankful for your time.

I love hearing you talk. You always have a lot of substance and value in your videos. I hope your 2021 is going great.

aw thank you! mine is great. hope yours is too!

This was so extremely concise and helpful thank you. ! I love how you breakdown the many different elements involved and stress the need for conceptual story.

everytime I watch a Pat Kay Video, I learn a lot! That’s why I don’t skip ads. Thanks for sharing your insights.

Love the percentage chart. In essence, don't spend all your time on things that will only contribute to 20% of your output. Breathing and talking gear will only make have more expensive gear. Composition, composition, composition. Thanks so much, Pat. Cheers from Brisbane.

100%, you got it! ease yourself into photography with those ratios initially, and then you can work out what works for you after you're comfortable :)

Thank you! Your descriptions and definitions are so well worded and easy to comprehend. Straightforward, real talk is so appreciated.

I just started my photography journey and out of all the people out there on YT your videos have helped me out the most, keep up the amazing work Pat.

I needed this so badly right now. Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I’m at the low point on the DK effect graph. The whole video has given me lots to think about.

One of the best tips I've ever come across on KZread, this helped me so much. Thanks Pat!!

I just love our way to tell a story. It's captive and you come across like an ultra-professional as well as a really likable person. Love it! Thank you!

You’re tops Pat. I get so much out of your videos. Your video regarding feeling uninspired found me at the perfect time the other week. Cheers Mate!

This video was really informative! I'm excited to check out the rest of your videos :)

Been trying to get into photography for almost a year now, and I do know a lot of stuff about it (settings to get the correct exposure) but no where near professional. Thank you for posting this, it's really going to help me in my career.

We’ll done! Clear, concise, and perfect for beginners such as myself. Thank you!

Pat. Just loving your approach. Loving it. Taking an art and science approach. Much respect.

Loved this tutorial, Pat. Learned so much. Thank you.

Heya! Great video, thanks Pat! You mentioned breakdown the skills for each category of photography - would love to see a lesson on this!

Great video as always. The learning process.. or journey of photography has always seemed so arbitrary. Often find myself being lost in what I should prioritise as a new photographer. Will be coming back to this video each time I feel that way. Thank you! 🙏

Straight to the point. Appreciate.

This is, without a doubt, the best photography related video I ever watched.

Pat, I have watched your videos and subscribed. I like your analysis of the length of time to learn how to become a good photographer, it is what I have experienced over 14 years. You are a good teacher! Father Dan

Thank you for the video! Really helpful stuff. I am at the point where "the more I know the more I know I don't know" and that there is so much more stuff to learn!

your videos are super informative and well structered, thank you!!

Good stuff man! Thanks.

Gave your video a shot, with all the videos on photography out there I wasn’t sure but…wow!!! You have some good points particularly VISION! love it man. Thank you for sharing

I love everything on this video.Thanks

Hey Mr. Pat Kay. It feel soo good to watch your videos. I am not a photographer and I never thought of being a photographer infact. But the way you explain things are damn great. Still I have no plans of being a photographer but i would love to know about your ideas and explanation on your best work. It would be great if you could make a video where you explains the best photographs you took and the vision behind it. I am in love with the way you are teaching these skills. Thanks a lot !!

Amazing presentation!

Great video! Definitely some good info and advice! Thank you!

Thank you. This is so informative

Great video Pat!

This content is PHENOMENAL! I have my degree in photography- and did not learn half of the things you mentioned in this video! What were my professors thinking? Anyways, THANK YOU for being so thorough in your explanations! You’ve reignited my passion in this art form once again! 🙏🏼 ✨.

Great video, thank you!!

Well presented, thank-you

Really helpful. Thank you.

This was excellent

this for me has been the most valuable photography video; thorough and in-depth and detailed. am very grateful. came here through the fstoppers fb post. and now i subscribe to the channel and have learned so much already. do love the "first few years of all crap photos!" thing mentioned in one of the episodes, that made me laugh. accurate of course.

I would say I already knew 75% of these tips already but its always nice to hear over and over again just to remind myself why I started photography. But also hearing it from someone else that does photography for longer.

Great tips !

Thanks for the video 😊

Thank you so much, you are my biggest insperesion and you have learned me so much

I'm an amateur and I learned real quick that you have to have an eye to make a good picture, not everything you see is necessarily a picture moment in my opinion, as you said here learn what good looks like. The rest will follow, it's like making a house you need to have a good foundation to be able to build a strong structure. Thanks for this video.

Great post
