For all german Viewers. My father is a photographer and he allways says: "Vordergrund macht Bild gesund" XD It means Foreground makes the picture healthy but in german it rhymes : (
The Dutch translation rhymes as well! 😜 It sounds almost the same too: "de voorgrond maakt het beeld gezond". Makes me curious where 'healthy' comes from. (Etymology freak here, my apologies!)
Thanks Peter your videos are a huge reason i'm confident in starting my Video/Photography business. Btw love that all you awesome guys I watch on YT are married with kids. Good Men always appreciated in this world
Love it Peter! Thanks so much for the inspiration my friend! My girlfriend and I just launched our channel and were constantly inspired by your work! I’ll be carrying a glass around with us from now on!
I lurv these short nuggets of knowledge. Concise but invaluable. These are the type of videos from Peter which got me into the craft. Classic PM Tut! Love it!
May be two minute Tuesday seems a bit old fashion for him ,and he doesn't keep the time limit up to two minutes even in two minute Tuesday videos sooooo.....
I was watching your first video last night... Things have changed. I was watching your videos with long hair last night ... Much better now Peter! Love the progression. It's awesome and inspiring. Keep it up! GO CANADA.
This is a really cool technique. Did something similar a few months back... We were shooting some photos after sunset outside and were able to find a lone street lamp to use for our main light against some tree foliage as a backdrop. Due to lack of a fill light, we had to be a little creative so I ended up placing the cellphone flashlight right up against the lens to create a spill/flare effect right in camera. Barely needed any editing afterwards, just needed a boost in saturation and a little contrast.
i think all your work is so amazing, the fact that you are such a good professional, a good youtuber and care to share your expertise with others is so cool, you truly are an amazing person! wish more people would be as hardworking and passionate!
he literally had a moment in a recent vid of 'why do i even do that' and now we know. total energy flow change. bring it back, man! edit: i was too judgmental. doing the saaaaame thing for years and not evolving is also what drives other artists (esp musicians) totally batty. so i don't even agree with myself on the 'bring it back.' lots of viewers prolly get that dopamine hit hearing the familiarity of a catchphrase, so can be hard to let go. it's tough on artists sometimes to not alienate fans while also feeling space to explore. ultimately we just gotta respect artist's choices in the now and examine our own responses to it, come what may.
John Kalaski I think people should be allowed to be authentic to themselves and the moment and their mood on the day. Do we need people to be puppets (“perform, Peter!”)? It’s like saying ‘smile for the camera!’ which is cringe.
@@PeterMcKinnon they bring nothing to the piece, there is absolutely no reason to change the angle here, no new info with the new camera angle, they are just distracting
@@PeterMcKinnon When I was a broadcast cameraman many moons ago, a new channel started up and they started doing whacky angles and side shots for no reason other than to be different and cool and new. Much opinion at the time was that when you put up a side shot of a piece-to-camera the illusion of television is ruined - the personal feeling you have like you're being presented to alone, all of a sudden is interrupted with a realisation of the production being made. Imagine this technique being used with a newscaster - the emphasis shifts to the presenter and not the content that is broadcast. It's the same wrongness for me :) Otherwise, great vid, I'll be pulling out some beer glasses next shoot!
I prefer room context and less distracting elements. I think theres a reason we mostly see these kind of shots on Instagram, and not in magazines, posters, billboards and such. Definitely has its place though, so good content!
i didnt realise i had been doing this for awhile now with my motorcycle photography... Its always a good technique for when your out and about to capture the environment in the shot :) Great work
OMG it's a great video, thanks! You inspired me to step up my photography and combine it with video! I have made a clip using your tips and your positive attitude makes me want learn more! I'd love some feedback if I'm going a good direction. I can't wait to start creating new and even better video thanx to your inspiration, Thanks!
Again a great tip for all photographers, thanks Peter for this "almost" 2 Minute Tuesday😁. Sometimes it is good to be remembered for the little things, which are so effective. Inspires me to play around with the foreground now, not only for portraits. Definitely will take my camera 📷
Like it, will use it, thx. One note: love the wall-wash light behind you, but maybe shade or block or occlude the bulb itself? It's just a white spot near your face. Which is such a good-looking face that doesn't deserve the distraction.
Oh man, the fact that you said "I think we should stop doing 'Bwatzzup Everybody'" on your last vid makes me damn sad, and its gone 😭 Anyhow, Just Make Vids 👊
Anyone using a camera for more than 5 minutes has done this. One of the most pointless videos from Peter yet, and there has been quite a few lately. which is the way it goes i guess, creative burn out is real folks. take a break Peter, you deserve and need it..
LectroSoul or there are novices like me who watch this channel as well and appreciate content like this because we have no earthly clue how to do this and don’t know who other pros in the field are so we wouldn’t find our way to their channels to know they did this. Just a thought.
I think this one takes the cake for just being a bit ridiculous. It makes sense in theory, like using a prism, but I think when it came down to the execution, that's where it looks more like a mistake or trying too hard to be "artsy."
Wow, this is such a fantastic tip, thanks for sharing. I was salty in the comments on one of your videos last week because I hadn't had my coffee yet, but I really do love this channel and the insights you share.
Love it. Thanks Pete. Just some feedback viz the second camera angle at the beginning of the film. Not looking directly at the camera felt it hurt the rapport with the viewer. Loved how you changed it up at the end, but I think the rapport you build with the viewer is one of your strengths in productions to date. Props for trying something new, though!
That is some nice window lighting 👌🏼 and great tip! ☺️ Something about that second camera angle though if you want our feedback is that I think it feels weird in this format. It works better when the person is talking to en interviewer and not looking into the camera. In this case it’s like you are talking directly to me and the next second I’m watching you talk to someone else and then back again. Just feels a little trippy to me. Still enjoy watching though. Peace ✌🏼❤️
It’s actually insane what you can do with regular household items & light sources when it comes to portraits. Me & my friend used a whiskey decanter & put a light underneath it to get this crazy glow out of the decanter.

Jawoi 😅👍
Yeah let's just talk deutch or Netherlands to flex. Ja laten we gewoon doen wat we willen en flexen op iedereen zeg maar 😂😂
DasHeiligeToastbrot
stimmt ja auch, Vordergrund kann ein Bild echt um einiges besser machen 😍🙌
This was closer to being a two-minute Tuesday than a lot of actual two-minute Tuesdays! 🤣Thanks for the tip!
Agreed... Pete I miss those 2 minute Tuesdays. Any possibilities that you could start them again?
i was gonna post the same thing 🤣🤣, a great tip
Came here to say this
couldnt help but laugh haha so true
True! Still epic!
How to spend less time in post-production and more time shooting 101. Hells yeah! Thanks man!
I am proud to say that I have learned about 80% of my photography knowledge from Pete. And I keep learning. Thank you Pete God bless you ❤️
Subscribing to PM is literally the reason i create youtube account! Loving the new vids. btw.
i really would go out and learn of people than pm, he is the king of b roll but hes not really a good photog
Loved the quicker format, really dynamic and fun
Thanks Peter your videos are a huge reason i'm confident in starting my Video/Photography business. Btw love that all you awesome guys I watch on YT are married with kids. Good Men always appreciated in this world
Love it Peter! Thanks so much for the inspiration my friend! My girlfriend and I just launched our channel and were constantly inspired by your work! I’ll be carrying a glass around with us from now on!
The glass!!!
Still carrying that water bottle round you mentioned years ago 😅
I lurv these short nuggets of knowledge. Concise but invaluable. These are the type of videos from Peter which got me into the craft. Classic PM Tut! Love it!
Anyone else remember when things like this used to be “2 minute Tuesday” subjects.
yeah
2020 style bro
With the official title gone he know hits the time - 2020 Style!
May be two minute Tuesday seems a bit old fashion for him ,and he doesn't keep the time limit up to two minutes even in two minute Tuesday videos sooooo.....
Im sure he will surprised us with a 2min Tuesday in the future.
I always appreciate minor creative touches for photos in order to improve the over all composition and quality 👌🏻👍🏻
Great tip! I keep a little three sided shard of glass in my camera bag at all times!
I have been a videographer for years, but I’m just starting out in photography with the Canon 80D. I love learning new things!

I get so excited every time Pete releases a new video!!! Thankfully, that experience is coming a lot more often there days!♥❤❤
same sameee

So simple yet so genius.
It definitely gives you a "pop" in your photos when using foregrounds!
Truly 😍
i think all your work is so amazing, the fact that you are such a good professional, a good youtuber and care to share your expertise with others is so cool, you truly are an amazing person! wish more people would be as hardworking and passionate!
It wasn’t the same without the “what’s up guys”
*pffhwhat's*
he literally had a moment in a recent vid of 'why do i even do that' and now we know. total energy flow change. bring it back, man!

Agree
I don't like it without the "BWHAT'S UP GUYS"

This intro is hands down the best PM intro EVER!!!!!
The side angles at the desk are great! 👍
Thanks! I dig em!
Sorry but I find them really distracting.
I reacted to that as well. Great!

The way he flipped that glass at the beginning without even flinching 😱and I still cannot properly hold one without dropping it. 😂
skillzzzz
Are you serious???thats the most easiest thing in the world 🤦♂️ tol much legendary socky sock for you salma
Peter your work area so looks like a full on arsenal load out room!! Your place is starting to come together. Nice job.
Chloe and I got some glass prisms and they work great for these kinds of shoots!
The two min Tuesday vibe. Love it
U look badass when u look directly at the camera.
i didnt realise i had been doing this for awhile now with my motorcycle photography... Its always a good technique for when your out and about to capture the environment in the shot :) Great work
You could almost say this was a “Two Minute Tuesday” thanks for the tip Peter!
That was my plan :)
@@PeterMcKinnon good vibes most importantly
Shades of TMT, love it. This is something I started doing this fall and it's now one of my favorite tricks!
This could be so TWO MINUTE TUESDAY! I miss 2MT :( Anyway I love this hack 👌
Thanks for sharing, Peter. Most people wouldn't bother sharing what they know, but here you are sharing it to the world.
Just beautiful. That's all I can say... those pictures with the glass element enhanced the shot so much more!!😃🔥
Wooo! New photography video!
Hi Pete, I have a feeling what you're holding might be *A Beads
Hey Pete!! I always love your poses in every photos. Hoping you'll make a video about how to pose for photos like that? It would be great!!
OMG it's a great video, thanks! You inspired me to step up my photography and combine it with video! I have made a clip using your tips and your positive attitude makes me want learn more! I'd love some feedback if I'm going a good direction. I can't wait to start creating new and even better video thanx to your inspiration, Thanks!
love hearing photo tips like the good old days !!!!
Everyone commenting 1 min after upload saying "loved the video" lmaoo😂
hahahaha
I know, but loved the video.

Bro u have to start ur videos saying : What's up every body peter mckinion here welcome back to yet another new vedio , todayy .............
Yes
Bruh. Yes I mix it every time he diodes the do it
Homers images of the deck with the glass were amazing! The glass creates a prism effect.
I did make a Photo Hacks video, not good video, but cool photos.
Literally one of my favorite people on RUclips! Will never stop watching, videos just getting better
4:02 I know that's a Tom Delonge signature guitar in the background. What I'm curious to know is if Peter got it as a gift from Tom himself..
I was gonna ask that too but figured somebody else probably had already. Sure enough! :)
They do lots of work together! Good catch!
I'm more of a video guy than a photo guy but this just got me so pumped and wanna go out looking for any kind of foreground and shoot photos! 😁👌
Me: I will use books
peter: a bunch of books
Me: he approves 😂😂😂😂
Like it, will use it, thx. One note: love the wall-wash light behind you, but maybe shade or block or occlude the bulb itself? It's just a white spot near your face. Which is such a good-looking face that doesn't deserve the distraction.
I see the new sam kolder tones used ;)
Ahmed Diae I thought the exact same thing
Like the idea and I use it with rocks in the foreground when taking dynamic landscape shots, draws the eye into the detail of the photo.
Oh man, the fact that you said "I think we should stop doing 'Bwatzzup Everybody'" on your last vid makes me damn sad, and its gone 😭
Anyhow, Just Make Vids 👊
Peter is now a model...nailed it!
3:53 Sam Kolder Preset Hyped
10 past 12am here, PM posted a new video! what a great way to start a new day
PWHAT’S UP EVERYBODY?!
Really wasnt sure about this from the initial intro.... but Dayum! Great results! I'll definitely be trying this one!
Brandon Woffell has been doing this for years.
That's probably one of the reasons they had a collab a while back, that they thought the same way. Brandon is definitely a master of this technique.
Anyone using a camera for more than 5 minutes has done this. One of the most pointless videos from Peter yet, and there has been quite a few lately. which is the way it goes i guess, creative burn out is real folks. take a break Peter, you deserve and need it..

@@AWINningCombination Yea I hear you, good point!
I love the lighting you use for your video. I’d love to recreate that for my setup.
I am waiting PM ❤️
I think you alittle bit sick right?
Fun idea Peter. Thanks! I’ll give it a try. Can’t wait !
Can I come over to hang out? :) miss you
@GreenMan haha just watched your video! you are crazy! Peter needs to watch it too!
@GreenMan Why are you like this? hahaahahahhah
Brah, you're like an endless encyclopedia of knowledge 👍🏻 thanks for showing us how to fish!
Oh gosh, here we go again with a crazy Instagram trend.
Easy but effective! That's what I love to hear. Another bang video Peter
Is it just me or does peter looks slightly like david beckham in this video with the way his hair is set.
Definitely going to have to give this a try! Thanks for another awesome video Pete!
That glass makes a huge difference!!! 👍👍It's amazing how you can make such cool pics with such easy things! Love it!!❤️
I am in awe how simple and useful this video is
Every video you create is inspirational! Thanks for making such great content!
Cool hack, going to try on my next portrait shoot. Thanks Peter!
You make photography look so easy 😂♥️
For outdoor portraits I like using flowers 🌸
Love’n the studio lighting and the new couch and art!!!!! Can’t wait to see it all finished. I hope you do a tour of it
Wow peter is in my head. I am currently making a video titled 5 homemade hacks for cool portraits and bam Peter does it. I love having old Pete back.
I don't know if I will do the glass thing, but I love that siamese-twin clamp!
That was a great vid today!
I love those photography / videography hacks and tutorials 🥰
I think this one takes the cake for just being a bit ridiculous. It makes sense in theory, like using a prism, but I think when it came down to the execution, that's where it looks more like a mistake or trying too hard to be "artsy."
Really great tip! I've always loved trying trying to include something in the foreground even if it's a landscape shot.
Peter absolutely love all your tips been watching for some time and pick up a few.Always enjoy Deb 😉👌✌❤
Always such wonderful content but I come just to hear him say words with /out/. I never knew someone saying /about/ could make me smile.
Great short tutorial- loved this one. Thanks PM ~
Wow, this is such a fantastic tip, thanks for sharing.
I was salty in the comments on one of your videos last week because I hadn't had my coffee yet, but I really do love this channel and the insights you share.
I like shooting with a prism. You can do things similar to that and also get some cool mirrored reflections too.
What a great and easy way to bring more emphasis to the actual subject...thank you for the great tip!
Love it. Thanks Pete. Just some feedback viz the second camera angle at the beginning of the film. Not looking directly at the camera felt it hurt the rapport with the viewer.

Peace ✌🏼❤️
You got my mind going on how I could incorperste this into my food videos. Thanks for the inspiration.
There is this excitement I get when I get a notification of a new video drop..... Thank for making my day
One day i hope to be able to make videos/pictures at least half as good as yours, your videos inspire me everytime. Thank you
Enjoying that second camera angle. Mo Peta, Mo Betta! 🙃
I dig simple solutions providing variety. nice one.
Ahhhhhh, 5 min videos are refreshing. Solid, to-the-point content, spiced with a little bit of humour. 😊👍
It’s actually insane what you can do with regular household items & light sources when it comes to portraits. Me & my friend used a whiskey decanter & put a light underneath it to get this crazy glow out of the decanter.
A good 2 minute Tuesday that is so useful!
Your intro makes me very happy!
Definitely trying this out on my next photo session!
Love your font choices always
Photo Tutorial Video!! Love it! Great work! Love the OG PM!
Pete,your hair style looks cool
Prism lens FX has some of the best mountable camera lens flares/filters 👌🏼
