One of the best lectures about photography I've seen so far. Worth watching every minute of it. Plus great example photos.

Never take this video down. It will still be an awesome presentation years and years from now...! Fantastic teacher.

It's always gratifying to have our efforts acknowledged and we are most pleased that you find value in our presentations. We look forward to greeting you and welcoming you as a valued customer and thank you for watching.

This is definitely one of the better educational videos on photography I've seen in a long time. Well prepared, at a good pace, with clear examples, to the point, and only minor time spent on self-promotion. Thanks!

Definitely one of the most interesting, fun to watch yet objective seminars I've seen. Most photographers teach with a 'skew' to their genre / interests. This was simply well-instructed solid and helpful info!!!

This is one of the most inspiring, straight-forward videos on the art of photography I've seen in a long, long time. I document what I see and follow some basic "rules" but my projects this year will involve being intentional about how I shoot following the many notes I took. This is fantastic. Thank you B&H!

Eileen is really a great photography teacher. I love her lectures! This and that one about seeing in B/W are my favs!

We are very pleased with your satisfaction with our presentations. Thank you all for watching

An excellent lecture on composition. The speaker was all a speaker on this subject needs to be, clear with a nice touch of humor. I liked the use of paintings, vintage photography and the works of female photographers. Just exquisite! Thank you B&H and Ms. Rafferty

Your Eileen Rafferty videos are the most helpful videos to improving my photography. Lots out there on KZread, but these are the very best in learning how to see, compose, think about form, color or not. So very good. Thanks for sharing them.

I'm educated and charmed. I've watched 2 of your presentations and learned why in 10 years my photos are so matter of fact. You have given me an interest in art and renewed my enthusiasm for photography. Deeply appreciative, eager to master the craft and excited to express myself through art.

Excellent seminar. At first I thought this was going to be a boring lecture on composition. After viewing the whole seminar I was suprised at how interesting Eileen made the topic. The combination of NUMEROUS excellent photos and lecture taught me alot. I will watch this video seminar again and next time I will be taken written notes.

Composition? Boring?? You should get another hobby

This is probably the most interesting thing I have bumped into, since I started my photography journey. I need to thank B&H and Rafferty for this gem. Again, this videos are the biggest reason I always make sure I buy at B&H.

Thanks for viewing and shopping at B&H, Crashoverall!

One of the most helpful videos for photographers. Thank you for sharing with us your knowledge and experience!

Probably the best all encompassing single photography lesson I've ever seen. Thank you.

This is THE best lecture I've seen yet! Thank you SO much Eileen Rafferty.

so I just watched this ...and was so impressed, this will definitely be a seminar I will be re-watching ! I have watched a lot of videos and this was by far one of the best in my opinion

You are really a good teacher. Your presence and voice and timing are excellent. These qualities, you chose, are so utterly necessary and supportive of learning. Thank you for being how you are and doing what you do in the way you, alone, do it. Kudos!!!!!

B&H and Eileen knocked it out of the park with this video.

After watching so many videos about the technical aspects of photography the bad photos still looked bad but were technically executed better. This video filled in many holes in my knowledge about composition and design the photographs. Eileen does a great job explaining the information and supporting it with examples. I look forward to learning from more of her videos.

Eileen is, without doubt, the most interesting and influential, presenter on B and H. And there are so many great ones. Spellbinding

It's fun quite simply. In an easy manner she explains and shows me how to see and how to use the visual language. It is truly remarcable. Now I'll start over looking att my photo books and of course practice, think, practice....

I started watching this as I was editing pictures and they came out better. Amazing!

This video was the perfect topic to help inspire interested photographers without talking about the technical side (exposure, aperture settings, iso, etc.). Ms. Rafferty is an excellent presenter. Thank you for having this available.

This is by far the most interesting video I saw. Thank you very much.

This is my favorite B&H seminar. thank you for making this available!

So glad i bumped onto this...I learnt so much. Thank you Eileen, this is priceless! cheers :-)

Once this gets going, it really is an eye-opener for an amateur like me. All the examples and dialogue made this a wonderful presentation. I originally watched this last year, but I re-watch it from time to time to pick up things I've missed before. Thank you Eileen Rafferty and B&H.

This is such a great video for learning about composition. I've watched it so many times and always point the people I teach photography to, in this direction, to this video!

that was just great! in my opinion, the best tutorial you guys have posted so far. thanks for that!

Thank you all so much for watching the B&H Photo KZread Channel and for your participation. We are very pleased that you derive value from and find our presentations useful and informative.

This is the best seminar about photoghraphy ever. Thanks Eileen and B&H. She is so Inspiring.

This is like a "psychology in photography" class.Most of the time talks were about technicalities.Thanks B&H!

I will watch this several times. So inspiring and so useful.

Wow! Very informative and inspiring! I hope she returns soon. I'd love to visit when Eileen is there!

This is highly informative, entertaining, and inspiring. One of the best videos on photography that I've seen. To be frank, I like how Ms. Rafferty has no ego. She has a teacher's heart and doesn't care about being seen as the all-knowing teacher. I also love her examples - she's secure enough show off other people's work (contemporary and classic) and point out the excellence in others. A great focus on teaching the subject matter, not showcasing her considerable talent. =)

Great presentation. I will be looking for more videos by Eileen Rafferty. She is a great presenter.

I LOVE her teaching so much!!!

really good vid. I enjoyed revisiting the fundamentals! I needed to hear what attracts a viewer again.

Thank you Eileen for an insightful and honest presentation. I learnt so much!

The best lecture/tutorial on composition that i have ever watched!!!

This is such a fabulous video, i could watch any video she does!! It was so informative and extremely well presented. I hope she makes more!! Thanks so much.

My second time watching this. Brilliant talk.

One of the rarest videos with deep explanation about the role of color in photography. Well done B&H.

Really enjoyed this one. Lots to think about and great examples. One thing though, miss seeing what she's pointing out on the photos, since you don;'t get the laser pointer on the video. A few times, was hard for my untrained eye to "see" what she was referring to.

Yes, this is one of the most helpful lecture, she covers so much.

I really enjoyed this a lot - I learned a lot as well! Thanks!

Awesome video by a clearly talented photographer *and* presenter. Perhaps due to her conversational tone, it almost feels like you're out on a workshop with her. Would not hesitate to recommend this video lecture to anybody interested in learning about photographic composition. Valuable for beginners, yet engaging and stimulating for seasoned photographers, too. Great job.

I enjoyed this lecture. I found the pace, content and presentation well done with numerous examples so you know what she means when she says something. Thank.

Great video, probably timeless. I notice this was produced a year and half ago, and I see the comments are still rolling in on this one. I feel like this is a video cheat sheet for ideas in composition and story telling. Definitely bookmarked for many future returns.

straightforward, clear with good examples. good talk!

These videos have helped me tremendously. B&H.com will be my first stop when I buy the Fuji X-Pro 1 next week. You all clearly care about photography and your customers and that resonates with us consumers.

Another excellent lecture by Eileen !!!

This feels like a class. Thank you.

One of my fav video by B&H, as always thank you to B&H for presenting Eileen, she is really inspiring me. Hope B&H could do event again with her.

@83Andrija , @rewjr1961 , @AidyScofield and to all posters: Thank you all so much for watching the B&H Photo KZread Channel and for your participation. We are very pleased that you derive value from and find our presentations useful and informative.

This is a great presentation. Thank you.

awesome tutorial B&H..please do more..and thanks to Eileen for her free time!

The photo of Scottish photographers Hill and Adamson at timestamp 45:30 was not a Daguerreotype, they actually used Fox-Talbot's system of salted paper and Calotype negative system. This is apparent in the result, which is much less precise than that which would have been achieved with a Daguerreotype, but did allow for multiple copies to be made. They were benefitted by the fact the Fox-Talbot's patent on the process did not apply to Scotland.

Very helpful and supportive of some "out of the box" approaches!!

Great content! Room to improve for the slides though. What are 1. and 2. before 3. Composition?

This is a great video thank you very much for posting this .... it was full of very interesting information that is usually missed in a lot of online videos.

Very good!! thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much for this! I learned a lot again :)

I've a long way to go to consider myself a "photographer" and at 68 I've doubts I'll reach that goal. :-) That said, videos like this, and particularly this video, go a long way towards helping me reach that goal. Thanks.

Simplification is good advice. A small film camera will help you and helps to 'focus' the mind. Use one lens, limitations help creativity.

Wonderful overview. Many thanks.

Thanks a lot for posting this informative video. I learned a lot today. I'll practice later and apply those things I learned from this video. Thank you so much. Please keep on posting.

Very useful and professional tutorial..thank you for your efforts, it is a big help for every amature photographer..

@eeskaatt Glad we can be of help and thanks for the feedback

Fabulous session!

great webinar, very helpful, thank you b&h...oh and Eileen does not only look pretty but she seems really talented as well.

This is a terrific video. I feel I'd be a much better photographer today if I'd seen it 8 years ago.

Outstanding!

Great speaker and Artist Very inspirational. I'm in bed and now I feel like putting my pants back on and getting out some gear! Thanks

amazing and very useful lecture! I guess the best

Best video I saw congratulations for your lesson

Fantastic, thank you!

JUST SHOOT THE IMAGE! Love it!

Great stuff incredibly useful - thanks B&H

So glad you didn't dwell to long on the rule of thirds, it's just another armature that gets used to death by people who look no further into the armatures of composition. Great talk and much enjoyed, thank you.

Nice presentation. very useful. Thank you :)

thans for sharing great lecture.

great video, Thanks!

this is gold

Very good lecture.

You guys are awesome, keep it up.

Good class and enjoyed your photography

Great video, learnt a lot, thnx

Sure looks like an "Eisie" @ 20:48, but it is from William C Beall - 1958 Pulitzer Prize.

Excellent :-)

1:30:10 The photo was "Minotaur" by Man Ray

How do you saturate or desaturate only one color, or one object in a photo? For example saturating only the leaves at 1:14:00, or desaturating only the greens at 1:15:50

This would be done in post process. Eileen Rafferty mentions using Adobe?s Photoshop, with which there are many different ways to selectively adjust both color and saturation. If you do a Google search for Photoshop selective color or hue saturation, you should be able to find some tutorials. *Christina* askbh@bandh.com

+Kaspar Henmo hue and saturation adjustment layer would be one, selective color is another, you could use selections tools such as channels or pen tool to isolate area and then use saturation adjustment layer - shitton of ways of doing it, and a choice is very situational.

Excellent

Lol at the antlers "antlers"!!!

I see compositions everywhere, light, people, architecture but when I take the picture the result is never what I thought it was going to be 😭😭😭

at first, I said to myself "oh god another know it all that knows nothing. another talker that doesnt walk the walk" but everything she says is accurate. I did learn a few things-things I knew and do, but said "hey thats right" when she explained it. things I never even thought about when taking photos but were built into my thinking. but shes very accurate in what she says. good stuff.

Nice informing video

awesome

thank you Great
