It’s not often that one has an opportunity to glean wisdom from six of the world’s top photographers, but that’s exactly what you’ll find in the eye-opening video below. In just six minutes, you’ll pick up 13 composition tips that will definitely improve your photography.

Marc Silber of Advancing Your Photography shares his conversations with top pros Joe McNally, Camille Seaman, Ed Kashi, Joey L., Deanne Fitzmaurice, and Bambi Cantrell. These photographers all have different specialties, and a unique take on how they compose their images.

McNally recommends “bending the rules,” while Seaman says she thinks of her subjects as shapes—explaining how she “choreographs” her images.  Joey L. strives to achieve a sense of balance like the master painters, Fitzmaurice talks about “finding layers” in a composition, and Cantrell brings the video to a close with a reminder that “expression beats perfection every time.”

It’s a fascinating look into the minds of six top-tier photographers that you won’t want to miss.
