After 10 years photographing Japan, I can walk into an ordinary scene and see 9
compositions in seconds. This video is about how that happened — and why it has
less to do with Japan than you think.

Photography is pattern recognition. In this video, I break down how shooting one
place for a decade trains your eye to see compositions faster, why visual patterns
repeating is a gift and not a limitation, and how recognizing a scene changes how
much attention you have left to actually make photographs with. Everything is shown
straight from my Lightroom catalog — the compositions that worked, and the ones
that didn't.
