James Popsys:
“Context without distractions”
I discovered James Popsys' youtube videos recently (well, presented to me by YT’s recommendation page). And had been watching them with keen interest. He is a photoghapher based out of Wales, and his photos are really nice.
The quote above is a video about his, and I’ll like to remind myself often as it is a meta that I would like to do well in my own photos too.
Link to James’ video below, but here’s a summary for my own future reference
importance to evoke curiosity in a scene (referencing “Show your work”)
Avoid distractions- find the composition that tells the story, yet finding the right balance to ensure not including too much as to dilutes a scene
James uses a chapel by the beach in Anglesey, North Wales as an example, and its best to see how he develops his shot over the course of the video.
“The Cat Sat On the Mat Is Not a Story; the Cat Sat On the Dog’s Mat is the Beginning of an Exciting Story”
