It&#8217;s so different from what I do but I just love his street style. I&#8217;m not sure how much longer, but his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lynda.com\/Photography-tutorials\/iPhone-Photography-from-Shooting-to-Storytelling\/90813-2.html\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone Photography course<\/a> on Lynda.com is free. If you have chance, I highly recommend watching it. It&#8217;s only about an hour long but it&#8217;s full of video of him shooting in the streets of LA. It&#8217;s always intriging to watch how someone else works. Don&#8217;t you think? He also has a very interesting take on storytelling in photography that I found helpful.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adammarelliphoto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Adam Marelli<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/29010922@N03\/6754336003\/\" title=\"Artist in Training by Adam Marelli, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7147\/6754336003_370b86afd0.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Artist in Training\"><\/a><br \/>\nAdam has an amazing series on his blog where he gives <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adammarelliphoto.com\/category\/great-compositions\/\" target=\"_blank\">composition tips based on classical art<\/a>. Or rather he relates the composition found in the paintings of the masters to those found in famous photographs. He spends a lot of time on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adammarelliphoto.com\/2011\/09\/henri-cartier-bresson\/\" target=\"_blank\">Henri Cartier-Bresson<\/a> and the surrealists. It is fascinating reading and I&#8217;ve really learned a lot from him. Instead of focusing on the rule of thirds, I now look for a strong diagonal. I try to do it in camera but more often than not I end re-composing when I crop in post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Gekas Photography His quality of light is delicious and his composition is classic.
