The best part of this video is seeing you nervous for a shoot again. Lots of recent videos of you mentioning finding your passion for photography again, this right here… this is it!
the sound is really what made it that more oomph! however staying away from the film world, i havent been able to put a finger down as to where this sound was referenced from. does anyone have an idea?
One of the most emotional and inspiring videos about photography on YT that I've seen. If I could give more than one like, I would give 25. Watched it three times, bookmarked, and will study storytelling from this video. Thank you Peter!
Seeing your joy....after 20 years of being a photographer, and still being that happy, feeling hella inspired right now, thank you Peter ! Amazing photos !
The angst, reservation, and exuberance resonate. Showing true emotions makes Peter a real person. Having worked in the biggest film lab in New York City with everyday clients and super famous ones, the pompous photographers were my least favorite to work with and their work was not so great. Loved this, congrats!
When you said :" Dude, I did it!" And that happy look that followed is what's it all about. Film with all of its uncertainties makes it magical, was so wonderful seeing you excited and nervous about the whole shoot despite your years of experience! Hats off ❤
I don't think I've ever smiled my way through a RUclips video like I have this one. Watching you finally realise a literal life long dream... that's pretty special to bear witness to, even if only through a video on the internet. Respect man
Peter, that's way more than "how you ended up taking a portrait of your action hero"... way more than your day 1 photography dream... You showed us that everything is possible with consistency, patience, and good work. 👏
Pete, you and Kirk have such a fantastic intimacy and that results in a transparent window into these extraordinary experiences you seek. This one hit the centermost ring of the board, and I couldn't love it more. Thank you. And big congrats. And please don't retire. You know there are so many more moments out there.
Never been this early. But Peter, seems like you’re checking if literally every side quest possible. Might be main quests for you but mad kudos man! Have serious respect for you!
Beautiful images Peter… and I love the irony of you being nervous to meet your hero, when you yourself are a hero to many of us creatives. Thank you for sharing this special moment.
So, part of what makes this so, so good is that Kiefer didn't come across as excited to meet Peter. Kiefer kept his words and time precious and guarded, which only added to the tension that kept us all on edge, including that of Peter. The only thing that could have made this video better was to put some more time on the screen of what picture 1789 was. I am still left a little unsettled of what exactly was that picture. Probably because they were all so good. This was so good. Congrats, Peter!!
Man that’s the most emotional I’ve got from any of your videos! Seeing the pure joy in your face after and the soaring music was amazing. Well done Pete. You’re an inspiration
One of the greatest videos I have ever seen on Facebook, the sheer emotions running through your body was palpable for us watching. Congratulations Peter, you are an inspiration
Now, @PeterMcKinnon, how surreal is it to think there are photographers and videographers out there who'd be that giddy to capture a photo with you? We're all mere mortal human beings. Thanks for being real and vulnerable, Peter.
DAMN! That's incredible! That shot I can guarantee you just opened your door for more celebrity shots. 30 years from now, people will look at them and say, "That's a Peter McKinnon photo right there!" Congrats, Brother!
Peter I have been on a binge at work listening to your videos and it just reminds me why I love photography and how I need to go full speed back into it
My favorite part is when Kiefer Sutherland said I will just start shooting. This is a pro who KNOWS the ropes and he was PRESENT. When you asked him about Jeff Bridges; not only did he know his work as a photographer he also cited a movie (1993) that they were in together. I really enjoyed this episode; the nerves (lol), the cinematography (wow) and the subject (heart emoji).
Pete, seeing this side of you was so great. Thank you for sharing you vulnerability like this and not the usual “rock star photographer RUclipsr personality” it is so important for everyone to see this side of their idols. Thank you for sharing
Pete, you’re the legend. Thanks for making these special moments in your life special for all of us through your incredible story telling. Feeling extra inspired after watching this.
Wow! First video in a long time that got my blood pumping. Your excitement and nervousness really showed how dedicated you are to the craft. As a photographer, I am so glad you got to do this. Well done.
It's so wonderful to see Pete full of drive and passion again for photography. This is the Peter McKinnon I started to follow when he had 100k subscribers. Just full of passion and love for photography. It's so great to see you so hyped and giddy over photography, your passion. It is truly beautiful and inspiring.
Sitting here in tears viewing your experience. So powerful and so excited for you. I could feel your heart pounding with nerves of anticipation!! so well done Peter!
Your victory is ours too. I follow you from a very very long time and saw every single video, probably twice and more. This one made me emotional, we can feel how humble are you. Keep up this amazing work Peter !
Excitement, nervousness and passion! Such a testament to someone who loves what they do when they can be mesmerized by doing it again and again. Congrats
Not gonna lie I smiled the whole time! The pure excitement and joy radiating off you after you finished and saw the negatives was unreal and heartwarming! Love to see it!
Man, I'm so impressed not just with how far you've come and evolved in your photography, but you've also managed to hone an incredible craft of impeccable life documentation. The whole reason I want to get back into vlogging is to have fun and coherent moments in time I can return to years later and that's so much more than a simple RUclips video. You share these huge moments in self-contained videos, each telling a story about a Peter McKinnon at a certain point in his life, doing something he loves with the people he cares about. I think, more than anything RUclips could bring you, older Peter and your children and their children will look back on the things you've made and be inspired by the life you've lived and the stories you've shared. thank you for allowing a total stranger like me to come along on your journey as well. Stay well and stay awesome. Much love, dude.
A milestone in life, a new bucketshot - I really love how you still can be exited like a child, how you can be impressed all over again. You can be nervous and so focused. I like your fire for your work. A dream came true for you. Congrats. Well done. Respect. And by the way - Kiefer Sutherland is a legend.🔥
Seeing Pete this anxious and excited in these past few videos really displays the passion he has for this art! Thanks for sharing Pete! Inspiring as always!
Pete man, I’m super excited and happy for you. I was sitting here watching your video with tears of joy for you. I was nervous with you just watching your video. Congrats man. Now it’s onto the next impossible!
The emotions of someone winning a huge game, landing a giant client, meeting the love of their life or getting a photo that will never go away... same.
Way to handle yourself when he said “just take the shot” I’ve had that experience as well and it’s hard not to take that personally in the moment and get overwhelmed. Congratulations🎉 being so well prepared really paid off for that moment alone❤
Brother. The way this had me cheesing the entire time. 24 had me and my friends captivated week to week - just plans completely revolving around it. And that’s when I became a complete Kiefer fan. I get it. Well done you made us proud. ✨
This episode almost brought me to tears at the culmination point. I completely understand what that must’ve felt like bc the video was put together so well. Excellent job.
The way you described your nervousness once you around Keifer Sutherland is the same nervousness I had meeting you at the Atlanta Blade Show two years ago. It’s funny how we all have someone we look up to and are our geek out person to meet. Congrats on a once in a lifetime meeting . This was an incredible video !
"...All the good things happen when you're scared..." Words to live by for sure. Great to see you living the dream! 🤙🤙
Woow..I really needed to read a comment like this...Thank you so much.
this.
And that camera move by the Captain as he said it. 👏 👏 👏
i was in the pit for Ozzfest waiting for Corey Taylor to take the stage... i was TERRRRRIFIED!!.. and shot the absolute banger of my life!!!!
That's what Palestinian mothers tell their kids before, you know.
Great video Pete, but that's a very bad philosophy to live by.
nervous Peter is my favorite Peter! ❤
Lol Kalle!!!!
The best part of this video is seeing you nervous for a shoot again. Lots of recent videos of you mentioning finding your passion for photography again, this right here… this is it!
So funny how being nervous is relative. Lots of people would be as nervous as Pete, if they were in the same position but wanting to shoot Pete.
To the videographer: my hat 🎩 off ! Wonderful editing and shooting such a great moment for Peter.
Great talent ❤
The 24 countdown was absolute gold.
the sound is really what made it that more oomph!
however staying away from the film world, i havent been able to put a finger down as to where this sound was referenced from. does anyone have an idea?
@rtk326 It's from the show 24, that's why Peter was excited about photographing Sutherland..he was the star of 24.
Probably my favourite video you have done in a while. Just loved the kid like enthusiasm it brought out.
I Love how happy this made you!! Thankyou for sharing
My thought exactly. And his crazy enthusiasm made me happy. Funny how that works.
So Proud of you, Pete! Showing us all how to handle big moments with grace.
Dude. I was sitting in my office by myself ... watching, crying and clapping out loud for you. Amazing.
Ok cool…so I’m not the only one ❤ lol…the music just put it over the top
same
Same!
Why would you cry? Are u gay?
One of the most emotional and inspiring videos about photography on YT that I've seen. If I could give more than one like, I would give 25. Watched it three times, bookmarked, and will study storytelling from this video. Thank you Peter!
Seeing your joy....after 20 years of being a photographer, and still being that happy, feeling hella inspired right now, thank you Peter ! Amazing photos !
This 56-yo Aussie has tears in his eyes. Thank you, Peter & Kirk. This was magical.
WOW, just WOW! Great Storytelling!
The angst, reservation, and exuberance resonate. Showing true emotions makes Peter a real person. Having worked in the biggest film lab in New York City with everyday clients and super famous ones, the pompous photographers were my least favorite to work with and their work was not so great.

Thank you very much! :)
@@PeterMcKinnon P a is gonna to be a good thing if I can interview maybe by zoom Thanks
I don't think I've ever smiled my way through a RUclips video like I have this one. Watching you finally realise a literal life long dream... that's pretty special to bear witness to, even if only through a video on the internet. Respect man
The absolute cajones of steel to shoot this on film... dude you are the King for a reason. Thank you for sharing this story!
I love how honest you are- I've been writing film music for 35 years- the day you are not nervous is the day to hang it up- Its part of the energy
This collab is pure gold!
Peter, that's way more than "how you ended up taking a portrait of your action hero"... way more than your day 1 photography dream... You showed us that everything is possible with consistency, patience, and good work. 👏
Yeah, for sure! Also experience and planning.
You handled being around someone you admire like that SO much better than I would have.
This is such a cool story and they are such awesome shots!
Pete, you and Kirk have such a fantastic intimacy and that results in a transparent window into these extraordinary experiences you seek. This one hit the centermost ring of the board, and I couldn't love it more. Thank you. And big congrats. And please don't retire. You know there are so many more moments out there.

I'm not really a Kiefer fan, but dang it, I felt emotional when you finished the shoot. Well, frickin, done sir
Anyone rewatching 24 just because of this? Best TV show ever!
Yes I’m planning on binge watching it too
dude...more of this please...! keep making the vid's McKinnon. LOVE it !
So, part of what makes this so, so good is that Kiefer didn't come across as excited to meet Peter.

OMG this is nuts!!! 🤯 But please please please don’t retire! So happy for you that this actually happened!
Man that’s the most emotional I’ve got from any of your videos! Seeing the pure joy in your face after and the soaring music was amazing. Well done Pete. You’re an inspiration

This video is so cool! I could watch this all day!
DAMN! That's incredible! That shot I can guarantee you just opened your door for more celebrity shots. 30 years from now, people will look at them and say, "That's a Peter McKinnon photo right there!" Congrats, Brother!

This gave me chills wow

Insane. could feel your tension in my bones! And the shots!! ohhh man!!
Wow! First video in a long time that got my blood pumping. Your excitement and nervousness really showed how dedicated you are to the craft. As a photographer, I am so glad you got to do this. Well done.
Damn Pete, these last two posts have been extremely inspirational 👏 😢 keep it coming!
LOVE seeing the passion come out!!! The nerves, the joy, the excitement, just pure! 👊
It's so wonderful to see Pete full of drive and passion again for photography. This is the Peter McKinnon I started to follow when he had 100k subscribers. Just full of passion and love for photography. It's so great to see you so hyped and giddy over photography, your passion. It is truly beautiful and inspiring.
I nearly cried for you… this was amazing, love the shoot, love your emotions and it was great to see Kiefer, being… himself! You nailed it!
Haven't watched one minute of the video yet, but the thumbnail is a killer 😮❤
Sitting here in tears viewing your experience. So powerful and so excited for you. I could feel your heart pounding with nerves of anticipation!! so well done Peter!
haha this is so sick
Your victory is ours too. I follow you from a very very long time and saw every single video, probably twice and more. This one made me emotional, we can feel how humble are you. Keep up this amazing work Peter !
It's actually kinda scary to think how we idolize other humans that are also just people like us.
The joy that this brought to you was simply heart warming!
Do i spy new peter mckinnon bag at 15:29?
Omg incredible!! What a video. What a moment. So glad you got to live this out, Peter. Congrats!!
What's up everybody Peter McKinnon here.❤
Your specific story telling ability creates a whole new level to your art. So special dude.
Excitement, nervousness and passion! Such a testament to someone who loves what they do when they can be mesmerized by doing it again and again. Congrats
You are back. And what a way to do it..... this is one of your best videos EVER..... OMG. Thanks mann.
Seeing your excitement throughout this was truly inspirational! Keep doing what you love, always! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Not gonna lie I smiled the whole time! The pure excitement and joy radiating off you after you finished and saw the negatives was unreal and heartwarming! Love to see it!
God what a great video and storytelling. Peter’s genuine nervousness and excitement makes it that much better
Man, I'm so impressed not just with how far you've come and evolved in your photography, but you've also managed to hone an incredible craft of impeccable life documentation.

Your last two videos especially have simply just made me smile, Peter. Your excitement is infectious. Thank you.
A milestone in life, a new bucketshot - I really love how you still can be exited like a child, how you can be impressed all over again. You can be nervous and so focused. I like your fire for your work. A dream came true for you. Congrats. Well done. Respect. And by the way - Kiefer Sutherland is a legend.🔥
Congratulations Peter, absolutly incredible
This is by far my favorite video of yours. Thank you for being real, and for posting this. Happy you got your dream shot.
Dude, I was smiling from start to finish cause I was so happy for you. What an amazing experience! Congrats
Seeing Pete this anxious and excited in these past few videos really displays the passion he has for this art! Thanks for sharing Pete! Inspiring as always!
Tears of joy & triumph rolling out of my eyes for you 🥲
"All good things happen when your scared." Man, words to live by. Such a cool AF moment, story, and shot man!
Loveee this for you Peter !!!!! Amazing how you made us feel like we’re there too !
What a great experience!!! The excitement, the nerves, the anticipation... What great photos!!!!!! This was done beautifully!
Pete man, I’m super excited and happy for you. I was sitting here watching your video with tears of joy for you. I was nervous with you just watching your video. Congrats man. Now it’s onto the next impossible!
This is brilliant! Glad you had the chance to do it!
This is the feeling I was looking for in The bucket shot 2! Glad to have you back!
Seriously, why am I tearing up? This was so inspiring, Peter! Congratulations indeed
Pretty epic! And wow what an opportunity of a lifetime!!
Wow this is awesome. So happy for you Peter getting to meet Kiefer and amazing shots .
That lighting was absolutely spot on. Gorgeous work!
The emotions of someone winning a huge game, landing a giant client, meeting the love of their life or getting a photo that will never go away... same.
Way to handle yourself when he said “just take the shot” I’ve had that experience as well and it’s hard not to take that personally in the moment and get overwhelmed. Congratulations🎉 being so well prepared really paid off for that moment alone❤
Your excitement for this is so contagious. I can't help but smile while watching. Awesome work.
The smile on your face Pete says it all...well done! Kiefer looks so much like his father as he as gotten older.
Brother. The way this had me cheesing the entire time. 24 had me and my friends captivated week to week - just plans completely revolving around it. And that’s when I became a complete Kiefer fan. I get it. Well done you made us proud. ✨
I really respect you didn't take the "easy" way out and challenged yourself to shoot it in a more difficult way.
All the little dynamics that needed to come together to make this moment happen is just soo damn cool!
This episode almost brought me to tears at the culmination point. I completely understand what that must’ve felt like bc the video was put together so well. Excellent job.
A beautiful moment. A beautiful film to document it. Very special indeed. Bravo PM
The way you described your nervousness once you around Keifer Sutherland is the same nervousness I had meeting you at the Atlanta Blade Show two years ago. It’s funny how we all have someone we look up to and are our geek out person to meet. Congrats on a once in a lifetime meeting . This was an incredible video !
Oh my friggin Good...this was the best drama, raw, paced, shot, edited beautifully! I had tears.
Great job Peter. Kiefer Sutherland is one of my all time favorite actors. You are so lucky. Thank you for sharing the moment.
Happy to see this video. It gave a lot of energy, you have no idea. Peter, this is YOUR bucketshot.
Thanks!
That was amazing! I'm buzzing! Well done, Peter, that was incredible 👏
Somehow Your videos reignite my love for photography over and over again. Thanks Peter!
This what so wholesome, so legendary, so vulnerable! Absolute treasure of a video thanks for sharing this man!
It's nice to see photos look so amazing straight out of the camera without any editing
Your excitement for photography EXCITES me for your photo book! Looking fwd to that purchase. This video is so sick! 🔥 thanks, Pete.
"Just take the photo" is a "I've done this before, have you?" move... I was nervous for you at the end hoping they would come out... amazing...
