Absolutely true Leon! My biggest point is that contrast is what makes up an image (Without any contrast, an image would just be grey pixels, and have no meaning) - So in that sense, the pros who create better photos than amateurs are simply better at creating and manipulating contrast in different ways that serve the image. But you're right - There is no simple "silver bullet" when it comes to pros vs amateurs. It's all the small things that add up

Exactly what I needed to hear.

You're absolutely correct! Only thing is that Y will actual revert to the last state of the photo, which is not ALWAYS the raw version. Sometimes it is a previous edit. So I personally just reset to make sure it is in fact showing the completely "as imported" version. But I agree - Y can be a lot more convenient!

This was so helpful. Talk about taking the red pill I don’t think I’ll ever think about art the same way again.

"Contrast is not always a matter of editing in your composition it's a matter of doing the unexpected or perceiving and portraying things in a different light than what we're used to" the most motivational sentence to pick up creating creative shots. Thank you from my heart.

I'm a photography student, and the color wheel that we're using is different from yours. Purple is opposite to Yellow, Red is opposite to Green and Blue is opposite to Orange. These color combinations are called Complementary. I've seen that color wheel in the video before and I'm confused as of what is it's origin and logic. It wouldn't make sense for Blue to be opposite to Yellow, as they are both main colors, and all the other colors are created from a combination of the three main ones(Blue, Red, Yellow). If Blue were opposite to Yellow, their combination must create black (or white on screens), which it doesn't. Blue and Yellow create green, instead.

There are 3 different kinds of colour spaces. RYB - Red, Yellow, Blue CMYB - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black RGB Red, Green, Blue RYB is used mainly in paints and pigments, CMYB is mainly used in printing and RGB is used for light. The first two are considered additive because, the more paint or ink you add, the closer to black it becomes. The last is called subtractive because, the more light you add, the closer it comes to pure white. The colour wheel in this video is a combination of CMYB and RGB colour spaces. As a photographer, you should be using the RGB colour space as photography is all about light. Furthermore, digital media is all created with pixels that produce light. You should also be familiar with CMYB because, it is used in the printing process. Sounds like your teacher used to be an art teacher. Hope that clears some of your confusion.

This made me rethink my approach, even though I'm a beginner in a conscious kind of photography (as opposed to just point+shoot with a compact cam or phone). Learned so much from this short video. Thanks!

nice video. I usually also apply this tip. See Most of Images don't really need more than 2-3 colors to make sense. By removing or downgrading useless extra color saturation you focus attention on "speaking colors" into your composition. It doesn't need to look like an movie effect, but it certainly helps adding methodology to your workflow to see what happens in extremes, and then identify the key strenghts/weaknesses of your picture and work on it.

Fantastic tip! Will be using this technique going forward!

most important rule of photography is that you enjoy it. if you want to improve in photography, stuff like this is good, but is way too much to learn at the same time. if you want to improve in anything that you do, you've gotta: 1) enjoy it, 2) do it as often as possible

And I know several pro friends who say they make photo shoots as simple as they can make it. It’s bang for the money for a pre-paid effort - not a photo contest of major brands whose rewards are still hanging.

Huge hugeee hugeee help! Thanks for making such clear understanding of color contrasts! 🙏🏽🙂

Wow, thanks!

Could you slow down a bit, you're really motoring this morning.....or ease up on the coffee. It's hard to keep up at times.

I changed it to playback at 0.75x speed and that helped a lot. Use the little settings gear icon on youtube

To each their own I guess. I still watched this at 1.75 speed and am pretty sure I got the gist of it. :)
