good morning Peter, many aggregators your videos that practically for us in Brazil serve as a workshop we may never have the chance to have your presence congratulations every video is a learning experience with your vast technical experience and professional attitude, hugs from Brazil.
Very nice Mr. Peter Coulson, love how in some way the lighting set up sort of mimics the sun and how it all bounces around a room through windows or walls! For sure you showed how one can shoot effortlessly moving around getting great illumination, feel and look. Thank you for your generosity by making and sharing these videos, tons of good health and everyone that works with you!
Peter you are so right about camera clubs they really don't do much for photography, my photos improved in leaps and bounds once I escaped from their crazy world. Thanks for making these videos they are so inspiring.
oh wow! i love this setup. its soo efficient. uou must be giddy when you first tried this as you can just shoot anywhere and it all turns out beautiful
It's incredible the way that you make everything easy and make that amazing shoot... I think humans just make everything more complicated and the most simple we create something the most incredible we can do it. You and your assistant with all that natural personality make everything perfect. Your work its just amazing.
a great lesson about light. it is good to know that each photographer has his own style of lighting, but it is necessary to understand how lighting works. Excellent work Peter, Bec and Rara. Hugs!
hello, folks, love the rant, and it is so true..... I am a member of a stick in the past and if you had only stepped one yard to the right club. I use it as a guide to what my images are like at a decent size, sometimes I can get to close to something and not spot the monster. I Love your attitude and style with Becs and Rara so relaxed its a pleasure to watch, Thanks Guys, catch you again.
Everything about that shoot was great -- of course RaRa is stunning, Bec is cute and funny, and your rants are a joy. Not to mention all the wonderful technical insight. Good stuff!
Once again, the three of you did a fine job. I was surprised the lighting setup was so flexible. There was a local camera club, but it was a dull affair that did not energize the members. It disappeared. I’m just a hobbyist but do like your work.
I love these videos. And I don't hear you ranting. I hear you talking about the gatekeepers. It's the same in so many precincts of art. You can either please the gatekeepers or follow your own instincts.
Yesssss love the rant towards a certain “association” hahahah. I left an association about 6 years ago and wow my career boomed once I stopped wasting time with those clowns.
Hi Peter and Bec, I have been looking at many of your online video and I enjoy all of them. The poses are very feminine and soft. The lights are great. I was wandering who select the clothing for the models? Is it the choice of the model or the clothing she is wearing is base on the concept of the shooting that you discuss with her prior the shoot? I really like this style of shooting for many reasons but I have no idea how to ask the model to dress up like your models do for a photoshoot. Thanks for sharing your videos. I'm learning many new technics about lighting setup, posing, directing and editing every time I'm watching.
As always- I love your tutorials- your dialogue takes the internal thought process and allows a peak inside! One question- since you went to the trouble of setting up the Octa as fill, when you wanted to boost the midtones why not just pop up the octa power a bit more rather than decreasing the shutter speed? I often have a large shoot through umbrella on my set to serve exactly that purpose - it gives me full control of the lighting no matter what the ambient...
and yet again, i am amazed at your work. i really shouldnt because after all this time and shooting with you, i should just come to y-t with the expectation of being wowed. i love your walls. the dark one reminds me of the lazy kid's end results when made to wash the blackboards in school. left with streaks of chalk. as imaginative and ingenious that you are, you could own the world, if you were to come up with a wireless tethering system. never again, having to swing that cord out of the way or from around your ankles. ive got a question about youre cyc. did you build it completely or did you use some pre-formed parts for the coves? is it drywall/gypsum board/wall board or something else?
This is great information for those with a big studio, but some of us are stuck in relatively small spaces. I only have room for a single backdrop. I would love some tips on how to add variety in this situation.
Hi Peter, thank you for the great tutorial as always, big thank you to Bec and Rara also, both amazing... Two questions: which Light Metering Modes you use the most, Centre Weighted, Centre Spot, Spot... How 1/30 the photos are not shaked?...
Thanks heaps, gladyou enjoyed it. I use spot metering, the photos aren't blurred at 1/30 because the flash is more powerful than the ambient light, and so the flash is freezing RaRa in the shot.
This is great. Thank You! Is there any aperture you would not be comfortable refocusing with? In other words if you were focusing on the eyes and at lets say F 5.6 would you be altering the focus plain a bit so that you might be soft around the eyes? Hope that makes sense.
Thanks so much. I shoot like this down at F 2.8 and quite often the clients pick the slightly soft pictures, but I'd never go higher than F11 because it gives a different type of softness, I hope this helps
Presentation tips: Look into the camera. Talk towards the camera. Pronounce all words in a clear and proper way. Make sure your hair is not in front of your face. Be serious towards the viewers. Now TAKE ALL THOSE TIPS ... and throw them overboard and do it the BEC-WAY hehehehehe You gotta love it !!! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!
Wonderful. Peter do you have any tips for someone trying to get into the commercial fashion world of photography. I assume you got to make a solid portfolio first and then get in in front of clients but what would be an effective way ? cheers Tim
Thanks heaps, the constriction of the walls can be found here ruclips.net/video/xa8vL5x05-o/видео.html and the painting of one can be found here ruclips.net/video/ziqVDmUkhRU/видео.html :) We put all the settings in the description, but they are Shutter-speed: 1/160 & 1/30 Aperture: f/8 Iso: 100 Hope this helps
Bec; who gives a rat's arse what haters say - yes, they probably didn't stay until the end, but you still don't need to justify what is going on. The moment you begin apologising to the people who hate what you're doing, we've all lost. NOTHING wrong with what Rara was wearing. Seriously, I've shot dancers and gymnasts (most of them were kids) in leotards before and while they're not as sheer as that one, you still see ribs and muscles and everything. We're humans and our bodies are beautiful. Sure we do our best not to objectify or pose them in a dodgy perverted way, but if an adult cannot tell the difference between sensual and sexual it tells you a lot more about them than it does about the subject in the photo. Great work from all of you.
Happy Birthday Birthday Girl. Next year wear a t-shirt that reads "It's my birthday, send bottles of wine to ____." Insert a P.O. Box number for security reasons.
The comfort level between Peter and RaRa make this session enjoyable to watch and shows in the quality of the images
Thanks so much
We agree, such a great collaboration
I am really impressed with Hasselblad camera after color or black white editing. Great work as always.
Thanks

Fantastic stuff. This is what it's all about. The camera club verdict was priceless!
Thanks :)
Awesome Info! Rara ROCKS!!
We agree!
I'm painting my floors white because of this video
Glad to see everyone safe and *unchanged*. Insightful work and comments. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
The comfort level in this short shoot between Peter and RaRa is enjoyable to watch. It shows in the quality of the images.

Yes I got a bit lost the first couple of times :)

Nice work you guys. It’s always a pleasure to watch Peter work, but this team is amazing. Thank you. ✌🏾
Much appreciated! Thanks heaps

Thanks a lot, I love working with sets where I can shoot from any angle.
Pete and Bec’s are Ledgens. Love em so much.
Thanks so much
Beautiful
Thank you
Happy Birthday, Bec!
The banter with Bec is pre-cious - thanks for leaving it in!
Also, Rara is unable to take a bad shot.
I'm always catching these a day or so late, but so well worth it. Thank you Peter, Becc and RaRa. :)
Thanks our pleasure :)
Great information!
Great Lighting Setup. Thank you for showing how you work! Cheers!!!
No problem 👍 thanks for watching
Hey look!, It’s Bec!!
Dear Peter, again a wonderful video about your work. So i can learn really many for my photography. Thanks, and best regards Hans
Great to hear, thanks so much for watching
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
I love these videos. And I don't hear you ranting. I hear you talking about the gatekeepers. It's the same in so many precincts of art. You can either please the gatekeepers or follow your own instincts.

Thanks again Peter and team for the awesome tutorial. Looking forward to when you can do workshops in Europe again 👌🏻
Thanks we can't wait to get back to Europe
Assistant is adorable. Would love to see here do some modeling too.

One of the best and most informative vids I have seen for a while. Love it
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Happy Birthday Bec
Yesssss love the rant towards a certain “association” hahahah. I left an association about 6 years ago and wow my career boomed once I stopped wasting time with those clowns.
Thanks yes it's very easy to get sucked into the wrong direction
Amen brother.
Thank You for a dose of inspiration.
You are so welcome :)
Not exactly your typical lighting setup but somehow you made it work! VERY interesting!
Thank you!
Thanks for making me salivate wishing I had vast amounts of money to throw at a warehouse that size and then to fill it with equipment...!
You can do it :)
Love this tutorial, thank you Peter and Bec.
Glad you enjoyed it
cool background
Wonderful and very genourous Peter. I use a hard farside key in cinematography to mimic sunlight like this.
Fantastic work!
Thanks a lot!
Great work all!!

Thanks Alain, normally the client, designer or model will pick the clothing then I will style it for the shoot.
Thank you for sharing your process! :)
Thanks for watching!
great. Thank you for the good
information. I take pictures in Budapest.
You are welcome
Nice
Birthday shoutout to Beca and kudos to RaRa and Peter for vision and teamwork
Nice one
Nice , you guys , always great information 🤙
Thanks! 👍

Thanks, Turning up the octa would increase every thing from that one direction, shutter increase the shadows from all directions.
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer Ah yes- subtle but important difference- Thank you!!
Another interesting video! 👍😊
Thanks you :)
amazing
and yet again, i am amazed at your work. i really shouldnt because after all this time and shooting with you, i should just come to y-t with the expectation of being wowed.
i love your walls. the dark one reminds me of the lazy kid's end results when made to wash the blackboards in school. left with streaks of chalk.
as imaginative and ingenious that you are, you could own the world, if you were to come up with a wireless tethering system. never again, having to swing that cord out of the way or from around your ankles.
ive got a question about youre cyc. did you build it completely or did you use some pre-formed parts for the coves? is it drywall/gypsum board/wall board or something else?
Thank you so much. I built it completely myself, it's made out of plywood
This is great information for those with a big studio, but some of us are stuck in relatively small spaces. I only have room for a single backdrop.
I would love some tips on how to add variety in this situation.
We have one on Inspire but will do one for RUclips soon :)

Nice video keep it up....
Wow
Hi Peter, thank you for the great tutorial as always, big thank you to Bec and Rara also, both amazing...

Wonderful. Peter do you have any tips for someone trying to get into the commercial fashion world of photography. I assume you got to make a solid portfolio first and then get in in front of clients but what would be an effective way ? cheers Tim
Just shoot what you love and then show the world
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer I just had an epiphany from that statement, thank you. I'd rather capture great moments than the perfect loop lighting.

Hello Everyone !
don´t let him piss you off :-)
Good
💪🏻
Cool set up, would love to know how created back drops, construction and painted? Also what was your flash settings?
Thanks heaps, the constriction of the walls can be found here ruclips.net/video/xa8vL5x05-o/видео.html and the painting of one can be found here ruclips.net/video/ziqVDmUkhRU/видео.html :)

Iso: 100
Hope this helps

😍😍
Peter, is that True focus that you are using? Nice video again. Best wishes..David in the UK.
Thanks yes I use true focus
Any suggestions on a used medium format camera that a beginner can afford
??
their lots of secondhand hasselblad's on ebay
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer thank you !
Thank you for the great video as always. One question pops when I am watching- were you on TTL or manual?
Thanks so much. I use manual always

It looks like sometimes the flash isn't triggering
What is the zoom spread on the main light ? with the Magnum reflector ? Thank you
