What lead me here is a push for passion as of late which has been a push in art and photography. It’s impressive where you can get when you devote yourself to a subject like art and educate yourself on its many aspects that are each infinite in “refineability”. Composition is by far my favorite ingredient. Learning about it through your educational material which includes other important lessons like the use of light etc, has advanced my understanding and appreciation of art that humans have been developing and shaping over the course of our existence (I just had an epiphany by writing this). The sharing of your knowledge in art will have an impact on its growth. Thank you for your contribution 🙂 here’s an image I made this winter with your lessons behind the timing of the shutter. Some slight dodging and burning was done to the clouds on the bottom. It’s titled “Stray & Strive”. As for a chance at any prizes, the list goes #1,2,4 in that order and you can view more images at http://www.remigoguen.com , instagram @remigoguenprints , image described just prior here: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2500605d26b879d86ffc84243f6534e76ecad95e7a08beee378fb39702064207.jpg

Hey, Tavis! The giveaway sounds awesome! I’m@jatakacs on Instagram. Honestly, you are one of two people in the photography/art world that helped me to get started on my journey to better photography. (At least I try to make my compositions better. ?) I started really taking B&W photos about a year ago for fun, and shortly after I thought about looking at composition techniques. On YouTube, I found some B&H photos that helped, and then, as many people do, I went down a rabbit hole on the platform and found your videos. I’m glad I did! I believe I’ve watched pretty much all of them. The way you look at art is refreshing. It makes sense to me as an analytical mind and shows the geometrical beauty that is present in the compositions most people never think about.
If I could win something, I’d love one of the signed books. I’m still a bit old-school and enjoy holding paper. ? I’d also love the Ultimate Package, Master Package, or the photography books. It all sounds great!

Hi Tavis! We haven’t spoken in a while but I stumbled onto your site over 4 years ago when I was in college and starting to get serious about my photography. Your daily blog on composition and photography was instrumental in my early education, and the lessons I took away from it then still resonate and shape the way I take photos today! I’m constantly reflecting on how to take photos well, how to compose them, what the composition means, how to make everything connect in the frame. And I’m so excited to see you continue sharing all of this amazing knowledge with the world!!! It’s really fantastic and I wish more people knew about it. I’d definitely put you on my list of indirect mentors, because it’s been incredible. You can see some of my work here http://www.martinfroger.com (@martinfroger on Instagram – my most recent work) – you’ve indirectly had a lot to do with this! As for the prizes, well of course your book #1, #2, and then the classic #3. Happy Sunday to you, thanks for doing this, and thanks for sharing this treasure trove of incredible teachings with us 😀

Hello! After learning the basics of photography (ISO/Shutter speed/Aperture) and moving on to composition theories like the “Rule” of thirds (ROT), I started to feel like I was wasting my time. There are so many amazing photographers pushing volumes of work out daily on sites like Instagram and Flickr…why bother? Well, we bother because the need to create drives us. Your videos, and books, on dynamic symmetry spark new creative ideas for me. Gestalt psychology was another rabbit hole that you led me down – I spent, and spend, quite a bit of time learning about how to use the techniques. Hopefully with enough of these ideas baked into my head I will be able to line up my compositions with a natural ease that puts these theories into practice. I’ve broken myself from the ROT and seek out Baroque Diagonals…slowly, but steadily, moving towards more intentional image making. Work in progress.

All of the prizes listed are fantastic – would love to win any of them! Since you’ve asked for us to list our top three choices I would say the signed Dynamic Symmetry book would be at the top of my list, followed by the Ultimate Package and Master Pass Package.
Thank you for the education Tavis, keep up the great work!

Hi Tavis, first of all I want to thank you for all your work and contribution in design. First time I stumble on your great work was a couple of years after my graduation as Architect, I was searching for composition materials to learn photography for my architectural visualization work…so I found Myron Barnstone’s website, I purchased his introduction to drawing systems and the golden section dvds , and discovered how master painters did it….after that I started searching for all dynamic symmetry related materials especially for practical applications, so I found your website and start learn from you. From Barnstone to you, your sharing knowledge has advanced my understanding and appreciation of arts. So thank you. I want also to thank you for the giveaway…all the prizes are amazing, I would love to get them all 😀 . So if I could win any of them, I would like to have #1. Dynamic Symmetry Signed Book. #2. The Ultimate Package. #3. The Master Pass Package.

I am a hobbyist photographer and I accidentally stumbled upon Tavis’ YouTube account a few months ago when I was learning about composition. I have to admit, his comprehensive video about dynamic symmetry blew me away and made me realise that there’s a lot more to symmetry than just defaulting to rules of thirds and golden ratio.. Ever since being introduced to dynamic symmetry, my work has greatly improved and I hope to one day master all of its aspects! ?
As for the prizes: #1, #2, and then #3.
