"Less instagramy, less influencery, less hype photo, but more of a pretty photograph." What a breath of fresh air this was to hear.
An absolute breath of fresh air! After seeing so many "Instagramy" photos, it kind of makes you forget what good photography is. Love this, sooo much.
I agree, pre-sets/filters, though convenient, might not bring out the best in every individual photo.
The sad reality is that clients expect instagram-y hype photos.
But what he ultimately did was instagramy lol.
Lifting the blacks and desaturation is basically exactly the typical instagramy, influencery hype photo everyone does at the moment. No fresh air at all
The shots you're taking and the camera you're using at the moment... I'd love to see a Peter pov street photography day, a little bit of an experiment.
I second this. Even if it ends up being a 3rd person video too like Kirk filming him, that would be tremendous.
Oh yea I really do wish to see a POV street Photography video done by P
That would be dope and I am sure that P will nail this kind of video with his style of shooting
Come on P do it for the sake of Street Photography
That would be nice
🛐❤️
He should bring @evanranft for that
Something you don’t normally hear In a tutorial “how do I get there without a preset” what every beginner wants to hear, not everyone wants presets or can afford them, 💯
This is soo apt and I couldn’t agree more
I don’t understand why people use other people presets then call it their style or look.
I got a pack of about 400 presets for about 35 bucks. affordable ones are definitely out there
Haha same. My starting point is the auto feature then sliders
I don't think I've ever seen a lightroom editing tutorial where they just slap a preset on it. I think going through each photo manually is just normal lol
As a Lightroom beginner, this is pure gold for my mind. I learn so much just from observing your process even if you weren't articulating what you're doing (though that helps a ton more). Please make more of these, Pete!
@@AmarachiOffor08 hola again, Amarachi! Wicked name, by the way. I'm sure you've seen this already but since making this comment, I've realized that there are a decent amount of "edit with me" type of videos in the PM archives and I think they'll do wonders for my photo editing advancement. Keep creating, you seem like you have a cool vibe :-)
@@joshmoxey. thanks for the detailed information Josh!!! You have a great vibe! Let’s connect
Love that you show how to get there with and without a preset! Refreshing to see both sides, as well as the logic behind the preset and what it does. Awesome video dude 📷🤙🏽
Also, so stoked about the new Leica content, LOVING it
More photo editing!!
Exactly! Presets are helpful but knowing how to dig in and why is exactly the reason I still am interested 3 years later. Thanks Pete and team, great stuff!
@@nickraypost 6
As a newbie photographer I often feel overwhelmed when it comes to editing...I'm happy to see someone who emphasis less is more. Thanks for the great video! :)
“Less is more”… great seeing you grow as an artist Pete! More editing sessions like this please… love it!
Finally an editing tutorial that doesn’t start with a preset haha. Good sh!t Pete.
In the past, often watching your videos, I felt that I didn't know enough about editing. But after watching this video, I feel a comfort in my style. Less is always more! Thank you so much for this video Peter. The timing of things is super cool too--right when I needed to hear this, you posted. Much love!
Never disappointed to see another tutorial! Your early tutorial videos were incredibly pivotal in my photography education and they still don't get old now, 5 years later.
I completely agree, my photography journey started to become serious when I started watching pete back then when he has only 100k subs and doing tuts like this... Till now, I try to emulate his output or workflow, and I still love the results
Thank you Peter! And greetings from Australia.
I've been binge watching your videos lately because I absolutely love your style and I'm a huge fan of your realistic and easy to follow teaching techniques.
I reckon my editing style has finally found some feet after watching your style develop.
The biggest thing I've learnt lately is around understanding colour, especially saturations, and how the presets are developed. I'm now able to understand the basis of my own style and how to build and modify a preset of my own. Which is going to be absolutely invaluable as I'm shooting a lot of motorsport at the moment so the volume of images is staggering!
I'm now going back through my older images with my new learnings to re-edit and hopefully bring out what I really wanted to do in the first place.
I really admire how your work changes and how open to those changes you are. I feel like I often fight myself when liking newer styles, and you’re teaching me to get out of my own way.
I love how the "NO" version in the thumbnail literally looks like the edit you are showing us in the video. Lol.
Haha ikr Thumbnail was likely created by one of his employees while he had to make the video embarrassing himself giving away he knows nothing
I’m glad you’re having fun. It’s important, the little things… they impact the bigger picture.
MISSED a good honest to god Lightroom sit-down, MOAR of these please!
Senpai noticed me, I can die in peace 😭
Hey that’s my face!
Woah dude you're in a Peter McKinnon video, you're gonna get like a million subs!
I think an important thing to mention is to only apply lens corrections when necessary. Many people automatically enable a lens correction, but it takes all the natural vignetting of the lens away, which is exactly what makes portraits with primes have their unique character.
Newer lenses are meant to be used with correction. In camera JPEGs even do it automatically.
Learning new things every single day. Love how you manipulate the colors and display a different kind of emotion to the photo.
Keep it up!
Hell yeah!!! so happy for a proper Lightroom lesson again. Exactly what I was looking for - developing editing style without buying in the social media hype that sold us all out. Love seeing Pete create, grow, and adapt in such a cool way. Rock on!! I’ve been switching back to film cameras lately to fall back in love, the Leica journey is so cool!
i like how peter reads comments and mentions the improvements
Definitely keep making content like this Pete. It’s so awesome and I always learn so much. Thank you
Dude…just ignore those people who comment just to point out an imperfection as petty as the monitor shaking. I mean come on! Your vids are 🔥 and make my day when I get that notification of a new PM video. Thank you Pirate Man! 🏴☠️
I think it was just his way of showing us he reads comments :) I don't think it was bothering him lol.
@@myhappygecko2895 well good on Pete. Either way…commenting just to point something like that out is lame sauce.
I like the monitor shake. Makes it a bit more immersive for me
@@myhappygecko2895 That's what I was thinking.
That was me and I commented that coz it's kinda fun .
I don't know how much you enjoy making these types of videos, but they are my favorite of yours. Thank you, Peter!
Pete, thank you so much!! I purchased Lightroom yesterday and spent all day editing my photos, I'm having so much fun. Your videos are extremely helpful and I appreciate what you do, keep em coming!
Thanks for the view into your venture into editing differently than you usually do. I would love to see more videos like this where we can hear your thinking throughout the editing process and why you make particular decisions. I always enjoy your videos and learn a lot. Thanks!
I too have noticed myself heading in this direction, and my photos are improving. If I take longer than 5 minutes on a shot, maybe 10 if it is an important client photo, I move on and leave it as a three star, and maybe come back to it later. You don't need to create a groundbreaking edit or style with every shot and going with your immediate instincts on edits lets you start passively creating a genuinely unique style in your work. Can't wait to see how I'll be editing photos in 5 years time.
Always love your editing videos! I've been playing around with more subtle edits and letting the camera do more of the heavy lifting on my shots. Great shots, great video, look forward to the next one!
I love how you're always trying to motivate people in finding their own style/take rather than following a trend. I am still trying to find mines but you do inspire me to do try different things. I have a question if you don't mind, do you ever use the Lens Corrections panel?
I have seen lot of photographers buy Leica q2 after your previous video, crazy how your influence is in this game
As a sports photographer I don’t have a use for this camera.
q2's are getting snapped up quickly in the buy and sell app in my part of the world. lol.
That's why we usually call people like Peter, influencers.
I have to say, I’ve come a really long way in Photography since I started watching Peter years ago. My life has turned upside down especially with Product Photography and it all began watching Peter McKinnon. Maybe I’ll meet him one day and maybe not, but he will never know how much of an impact he made in opening my world to become a master photographer. Whatever it is you see Peter showing you or teaching you listen to it follow it and do it it works.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks my Toronto brother!
Always such clear, calm and to the point with the videos, happy to see you having fun with the new camera Peter ❤️
Love seeing the Lightroom edits and style choices. I'm a UX researcher and this video style reminds me of cognitive think aloud protocols - a technique that helps us understand how people are thinking
The fact that you are making things look easy it really motivates us that we just started photography. Thank you!
That video was so good Pete! I love that you show with and without presets! I am also doing this concept of ‘less is more’ these days and that’s truly refreshing
Have a nice day!
Love these types of videos I found it to be very helpful and would love to see more of them. As a beginner I really appreciate seeing 'how to get there' without the preset as I always wonder how each photographer creates them to reflect their own style so well, I would love to see a video of what inspires you when you create each of your presets for a new collection and what your process is when creating them
I recently picked up a classic canon 5d and one thing I’ve been working on doing is capturing the photo as close to as a finished photo in camera as a can and in post using VERY little creative styling and editing. Slight sharpen, little white balance adjustment for time of day and that’s pretty much it. Definitely a refreshing technique.
I usually never comment but this video was awesome for someone learning photography! Please Pete! Do more of these! They help more with context of where to reach in the photo and how to do it. 🔥🔥
🔥maybe you should try 35mm film just for fun... to use that camera wall on the old ofice
It's always so refreshing to see your videos. idk it's something about the energy no matter what the video is about
him saying that we all go through the 100 percent clarity phase brought flashbacks in my head!
Would you ever consider doing a POV street photography video where we can see how you compose your shots and mess with settings in real time? I know it's been done by other creators but would love to see your process!
That green with window looked better for according to my taste..
Dude! You are freaking killing it. I really enjoyed this video. Incredible value and have a newfound sense of courage to try other ways to color grade. Thanks, Peter!
Pete we need old pete back travel vlogs and short films is inspire me the most man and the way you think about things and how positive you are always man
+1
Could you do a video where you use a low pirced camera and lens just to see how well your pics come out and your process ? just to help beginners like myself ? thanks for all your videos!
There is a video with him using a Canon rebel (1300d i think). Check out the older vids and you will find it :)
Ooh how I have missed just some basic photography advice on this channel! Great work! Love the video, love the photos!
So happy to see a Peter McKinnon editing video in my feed. Rock on man. You're a great teacher!
I haven't watched in a while due to me having to sell my camera and not having the funds to develop all the film i've been shooting lol, But it's awesome to see how far you have come on here Peter what a journey it's been for you. Cheers man.
How much time does editing take compared to time required for filming? ••• Peter, would it be possible to put the before and after pictures next to each other rather than before and after?
Good video. I do think platforms like IG and influencers like yourself with awesome grids that have a “style” make people (including once myself) feel like they can’t experiment and the only way to success is to have a signature style.
I never follow RUclipsrs Instagram. Buy photography books. They have better “style”.
@@bngr_bngr yea I don’t follow photographers anymore. I do actually enjoy looking through old magazines, books, etc. mostly from film days
I'm digging that vibe on the less contrast. You have been a great teacher on how I've been editing my photos. Thanks!!
That is one thing that I love about photography, everyone has their own taste and style when it comes to editing. Personally for the window shot I prefer darker green but that's my preference.
I love these editing tutorials, be it Lightroom or Premiere Pro. The amount I've learnt and improved my editing style is insane. I'm no pro don't get me wrong, but I find the way Peter explains things and works through a photo or a sequence makes it so much easier to understand. It's helped me out alot! Just picked up a new 24-70mm f2.8 and cannot wait to take what I've learnt from Peter and getting the most out that lens, shooting and in post.
So yeah I vote more tutorial videos!!
Huh, that’s surprising, you edit portraits slightly similar to the way I do. Definitely an eye opening video for how the finished edits come together.
No he never shows the little details 🤣, ..... He wouldn't ever share his secrets.
@@LegendaryLife Always an opportunity to learn.
Thanks a lot for doing this Pete! Nice to see how you edit and talk us through without the presets, please make more of these, Cheers!
From someone who has V3 and V4 of your presets I use them all the time I'm really excited for the next one as I love the different variety I get get with the different volumes.
The only way to have stuff stop looking "influencer-y" is to stop using presets all together. It gives you a crutch to fall back on and forces all of your images into one box. Some people call that "their look" but then somehow millions of people have the exact same "look." The look of presets. I don't buy the argument that it saves time. If you don't have time for your art, then what are you truly doing? Consider giving each image the love and care they deserve instead of giving it your own version of an Instagram filter.
🤑🤑🤑🤌
I agree but if you shot a wedding then you want to create a base level preset for your pictures.
@@bngr_bngr Professionally, for a wedding, absolutely . Base level to save time over hundreds of images. I was just responding to Pete talking about creative presets in creative work.
You use a creative preset and you’ve let the preset’s creator make 5% of the choices for you. It’s the reason so many of us shoot RAW…to make 100% of the choices ourselves instead of letting the camera make 5% of the choices on exposure, contrast, saturation, etc in JPGs.
so mediocre omg. that's why he's a youtube photographer. meh
You know Pete, I used to have to stop your videos and rewatch because I couldn’t keep up with you. I can now keep up! You have taught me well!!! Thanks for all your tutalage over the years 🤙
Such a difference from how you were editing 3 or 4 years ago when I first started to follow you. I still like the boldness of color but do see how toning that done creates another effect. I struggle with over saturating my edits, really noticed on some I did yesterday.

when I started with photography, I was asking why do people edit photos? I thought that's not about art of photography anymore but more about editing itself. Since then I have started editing my photos but only in a subtle way. I just like the natural style. Great vid!
Wow, i love what youre doing with that camera and your edits are crazy good, Do more of this please. Its captivating to watch someone do something theyre extremely good at .
Please do more videos like this. I love your straight forward approach to explaining the editing process!
Love this style video! Hope you bring more things like this back into your channel. Or maybe I've just been missing them? Just very inspirational
I absolutely love you your videos!! Thanks for being amazing and just you. :) Your shots are amazing!! Keep up the awesome work Pete!!
So inspiring to watch you work in Lightroom. Would love to see more editing magic. Also fun to see how amazing the Leica system is.
What a great vid. It appears as if you are somehow coming back to what I consider your roots, and it feels as if the cycle is completing
This type material is the reason I started watching your vids several years ago. Always enjoy and appreciate.
I love these videos of you teaching how to edit. Love them! Keep doing them please!!!
You are/were not alone! I pray you found what has worked for you!
Very nice Peter. You always give us great info and your expertise. Much love Brah!
I like when you say what’s up everybody from the beginning to makes you stand out with your own signature
These are amazing photos, so cool to see you exploring a new style with a new camera! Keep it comin!
Really enjoyed this. Love the insight into how you get to your finished vibe, cheers Pete.
Loved this video! The subtle edits were actually mindblowing... Definitely going to try this when editing my next batch of photos
glad to see you play with your style and see how excited you are with the new camera
2020 contrast up and poppy
2022 contrast down and desaturate
2024 Black & White
🖤 Love ya Pete
Loved it Pete! What these recent videos makes me want most, is a new camera - or more specifically the Leica. Love the new style of editing!
I have been shooting with digital Leicas since the M242 and am now using the SL2-S. You barely need to touch the raws. They are so perfect already its more about adding some additional contrast and stylizing than bringing the raw to life. Often times I find myself editing and then going back and reducing everything since I like the out of camera image so much.
Thank you Peter! I learn SO much from you with every video you post! You create fantastic content!
Peter is like pure energy love him
Yes, please make more videos like this, they are so helpful and I do appreciate them.
Editing is one of the most satisfying thing in the world 😌💕 when you know what you want and know the software, it doesn’t even take that long, be confident in your editing skills you all!
Pete! Great video of showing some bangers and switching things up! One thing that I’d be interested in learning about is more behind the scenes of managing all of your photos within Lightroom (not classic). I’m running out of space and don’t know a good way to do the hard drive setups with the cloud stuff seamlessly. Would love to see a behind the scenes of how you deal with all of your pictures. It would help me out and I couldn’t find much help for Lightroom with the cloud (mostly vids for Lightroom classic). I think most photographers at any level will reach the point where they need to know how to really save and maintain their collection. This would be super helpful in a video like this one. Anyway, the Leica is looking great! Keep it up @Peter McKinnon!
Awesome video! I love the crunchy greens in that first shot, goals!
I’ve learned to basically back off from where you initially go. When you like it, how far back can you go and still like it.
I was just on your Instagram the other day admiring your photos and editing style. I love seeing your process. Great stuff.
I learn a lot from you man. It would be really cool if you kept doing these videos because you teach me how to edit and I also love watching you edit your photos
You inspire me with every new video man! Keep it up!
That's the old inspiration Pete we were waitig for. You are faling in love with photography that easy. Thank you for the inspiration. Every video of you is your art
Love the editing your photos series! Keep them coming
EPIC video Peter!! Love seeing how you do it.
Dude I always want to hear you say that “Bwat’zuP” in your intros it’s gets me so pumped up please keep it in as many of your videos as possible
👊🏽😎👍🏽
LOVED THIS!! Totally down for more 😁🤘 And also stoked to see the new lenses! 🔥
Art is a matter of taste and taste is a variable... I love photos with popping colors but thank you that you revive old styles
Why is watching you editing so relaxing?
Great vid!
I miss Pete doing live street photog and then taking us in the editing process afterwards. Like the night photography kind of feels 😀😀
Really cool and useful video, Pete. That helped me understand more on the tone curve and how color saturation and luminance works. I'm curious and interested to see how you edit photos that would show how a scenery looks like the time you were there? Something more so realistic (i hope that makes sense 😅). 🍻
