- Peter and Shay caught up while they were both travelling through Prague earlier this year, and only had a small hotel room to shoot in. In this tutorial, Peter shows you how you can still find light in a small space and create beautiful images without the use of flash lights or a studio.

It is always interesting to see you tackling the challenges of an average location
Glad you enjoyed it
What a pleasure seeing Shay work with Peter to create images. Hey Parisians, it's Shay.
Thank you
Pete always finds the shot. Framing and composition is aways on point.
Thanks so much
Always leaves me speechless. The rapport you have with the model, Shay's seemingly natural gift of expressing... I am in awe. I learn so much. Thank you always. Thank you Shay.
Thanks so much, yes Shay is awesome
Thank you Matt
What I enjoy most about this style of video is that it makes you think about what you would try or change when you would be the photographer and it's great when you then see that what you come up with is what happens next.
Thanks heaps
Shay has the completely comfortable look, in any position. See why working with Shay is a treat. 🏆
Yes Shay is awesome
Everthing is about light management & the relationship with the model. Great lessons👏 again . Great video.
Yes! Thank you!
Supreme work Peter always learn so much from you. A true Master thanks you.
I appreciate that!
Beautiful photos
Thank you
Oh my goodness. Maybe my favorite PC vid ever! The Prague hotel room decor, the way you worked the light in the whole room, Shay. Wow. And "lean focus"?! WTF?! You guys made me so happy.
Thanks so much
Standard hotel room and amazing photos 🥰
Thank you
I know youre a B&W shooter but the colour images on this video are fantastic!
Thank you
Eyes like magnets. But, not enough time to search whole frame. Guess I need to watch again. As always you both did a great job. Thanks.
Thanks as always Edward
Shay is one of the more exciting models you work with. Great mood and charisma. Not so easy working in such a confined space. Excellent work.
Thanks so much, yes Shay is awesome
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer I always see her ' photographically of course ' in a Bleached Bypass sort of photograph. High contrast, yet desaturated and full of grunge. It suits her look and attitude. Thank you, Peter.
Great memories! You and Shay did an amazing job, I would say you have more "keepers/ stunning images" in this video than many of your others. Shay looked great and from shooting with her in the same room next door I can confirm that the room was small and most of the light was indeed only by the window. Nice job Peter!
Thanks heaps Matt
Love light from a large diffused light source.
Me too
Brilliant film, very informative. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for letting us in on a wonderful session with Shay!! I really liked the mirror play and the use of the tripod to pull the sheer curtains back to further illuminate Shay! Speaking of, Shay always brings those eyes that draw in the viewer, so beguiling and beautiful. Thanks for letting us sit in, much appreciated!! - Dave
Thanks so much Dave, yes Shay is awesome
Great photos Peter as always hard to shoot in small places 👍 and the young lady is beautiful to ❤Paul 😊
Thanks Paul
Again such an amazing video! Love how you work in small rooms. Shay is an absolute amazing model - love the results
Thanks so much! 😊 Yes Shay is awesome
Wonderful. Great eye for capturing the essence of the moment. Amazing stuff!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful photo session! As usual you made some amazing photos What an eye and you are such a great director! You had a wonderful model to work with so I can't give you all the credit! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Always love watching you work with Shay. And seeing you get such great material in such a small room is motivating! Helps that the room has a ton of character!
Awesome! Thank you!
I like how you made the best of the lighting situation. I’m not a photographer, but I was yelling ‘grab your suitcase to hold the curtain’ and I was happy and at ease when you used your tripod. Thanks, as always.❤️🙏
Thank you for watching
Oh, I'm stealing "a little more kicked-out-of-the-club!"
simple and beautiful. thanks master.
You are very welcome
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer 🙏
Nice video as always Peter and it's great for others to see how you can great lighting using only window light with no modifiers. BTW It looks like you had some very talented videographer to help you out. What an incredible job he did!
Thanks so much, yes natural light no modifiers is my favourite
I for one liked your joke. ;) All three subsets (chair, hall, window) were excellent and would build to crescendo and then kind of repeat that wave. I think my favorite was her in the hall by the door and mirror. I did think the curtain play--by her and simply just for the lighting provided some beautiful and stunningly sexy shots. It's amazing to see how you work in even smaller spaces and expand it in such a fashion.
Thanks so much Rick
Magical.
Great video Matt, pity that photographer is continuously in the frame
Love to see the natural lighting capabilities in a room.
Beautiful shots guys, good to see you working together.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for that!
Thanks for showing this. With studio space hard to come by, I have been doing more hottel shoots and maximize small spaces.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video. Shay is so good. Love the stuff with the 75 mm when you lose that God- forsaken lamp. Shay in a window. Yeah, that's going to work.
Thanks so much
I like how you focus on getting things out of the frame that distract you, kind of how ny mind works, if you can eliminate all the crap you're 90% there, assuming the model and light is good! Have to try more horizontal shots too it's so easy to fall in the vertical instagram trap if that's where a lot of your photos are ending up but it looks so cool on your shots. Also compliments to the cameraman ofcourse for the assist :)
Thanks heaps, yes I try to get everything as right in camera as I can. Shooting landscape is how my eyes see the world which is why I shoot that way
My best pictures were taken in hotel rooms. One in particular is The Society Hotel suite that overlooks NW Davis St, Chinatown, Portland, Oregon. The building is ancient, the room is simple, the lighting is good from any angle regardless of time, day or night, and there are tall windows that frame an exceptional view of downtown Portland, Oregon. It's timeless, charming and somewhat special. And if not the suite, there is a corner room that overlooks both streets.
Thanks for sharing
May we hand you some clamps..Sir? - Shay..georgous as always!
Amazing shots in all areas of the room. Just wondering what your setting would have been. Was the ISO raised for the shots at the door, and did you keep it higher for the shots at the window ledge to get the background sharper. PS the model was sensational.
Amazing
Thanks
OMG no Bec, the world is coming to an end 😂😂. Love the video
Bec was on holidays, thanks heaps
When I see Peter or rather when I hear him say cool cool cool or gorgeous I think of the thousands of times that I have heard other photographers say that you shouldn't say that to models because it could be misinterpreted, so I stay longer still confused. However, I think that when working with models with nothing or a lot of clothes, reinforcing the model with words like "You look super, pretty, beautiful and even reinforcing how sexy she looks" is a way of telling the model that her work in That moment is going well, their poses, their expressions in conjunction with the space and the light are giving excellent results.
I ask models at workshops in front of all the participants what is the word they would least like to hear and they all say 'sexy'. I use 'cool' because it is positive but also fairly neutral, it just lets them know that what they're doing is working
You always learn something new, thank you very much for the advice, the truth is that I had never thought about it that way, I think it will really help me in subsequent sessions. Thanks a lot.
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer
really nice , i wish it was colored images but you did a fantastic job
Thank you so much
I now think that Peter can shoot photos with his eyes closed in absolute darkness with a potato instead of a camera and they will look better than 90% photos out there. Just the ease with which he achieves these incredible results almost makes me want to switch to plumbing or carpentry 😅
Lol :) thanks so much
Shay is stunning with your Artistic vision. Peter what lens are you using
Yes Shay is awesome. Lens used: Summilux-M 1:1.4/50 ASPH, we always list the gear in the description
great video as always, btw when you are shooting on airbnbs do you always request permission to shoot from the owner? (I know in hotel its different)
yes but we say it's not commercial
Great shoot, what were your camera settings?
Thank you Shutter: 1/160 Aperture: f/1.4 ISO: 400
Peter - Have you discussed anywhere the equipment and methods you use for transferring negatives to digital files? Thank you and best regards.
One will be coming in the next month or so
FANTASTIC !!@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer
I'd really like to see you do a shoot and explain the lighting with a girl who isn't a stunning model. Most photographers aren't going to have a Bec to shoot with on the daily, they are going to have people looking for wedding, senior pics, etc. Getting a good lighting setup on joe average must be completely different than a 10/10 model.
I treat lighting the same with everyone. It's hard to do a RUclips video with someone who isn't a professional model as most 'average' people won't feel confident being filmed to go on the internet with extra cameras pointed at them.
Good evening Peter, I've always been curious how you would make a construction similar to Frank Powolny from Marilyn Monroe and the American flag on the back, hugs my friend. P.S. of course in black and white.
you mean like this one www.peter-coulson.com.au/my-stuff#&gid=1145466279&pid=235
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer ooo man this is great, your work is fantastic Peter
@@josecarlossobrinhoensaiosr904 thank you
@5:54 ... wow
Die you try some of the pictures in the first 5 minutes of the video of her sitting in the chair in colour as well? I think the different colour temperatures from the lamp next to the chair and the light coming from the window could look really great.
Nah I haven't tried them in colour yet, I prefer black and white :)
@S: Many thanks for posting in this session and for sharing. From my point of view, you have completely stollen the attention and it has become more model centric rather than lighting centric. I know this is not the point of the session, but I like a lot the way you dress. I think you have a smile that you try to hide, but at the end it emerges. From your gaze, one of the things I like the most is the way you look at the photographer with arrogance and indifference.
@M: Many thanks for supporting Peter in this session. I like a lot when a camera captures a Model that is being photographed/filmed from other angle, because it sounds to me like: the art of posing. I like a lot your public internet channel because in your videos you provides "distilled" information, in the sense that you go to the point of interest and you keep the thread, there is a objective and it is met, without "beating around the bush". As a P&B's collaborator that you are, I would like to offer to you my logistic support, accordingly to my availability, in case you need an indoor shooting location (artificial light, because natural light is poor), that I own, in the capital of the country where I live.
@P: Many thanks for this session, it has been amazing: the model, her outfit, the color tones (red against brownish/yellowish tones is astonishing), the mirror magic (there is nothing that can match the beauty of a Model except her own reflection, e.g. 10:50), the little corridor, the window, the video recorders, ... and all of this with much simplicity. Definitely, the output of this session must be in color, not in BW.
Bam. Second.
You get more out of a window and shade than anyone I know...
Thank you
Go Pete go........Bec not there.......Verry Pretty ect........
Hey buddy, show these photos in color now.
I rarely do colour
First one here
