Recreating light

- I found the best way to teach yourself lighting is to recreate other people's lighting, trying to copy their lighting as close as you can, and then make it yours. This is just a small sip it from our latest tutorial up on inspire.peter-...

This, at least in my mind is how professionals work together. It was wonderful to see Anna use her skills as a model all the while Peter gave her simple but deliberate direction to create the shot. It was beautiful to see that work happen, so thanks for allowing us to tag along. - Dave
Thanks so much Dave
Such a privilege to see this 'raw' access to how a professional works - I felt like I was in the room. You can tell from the way Peter talks and moves between shots, poses, etc... that he is not just a seasoned pro but also someone with a very smart brain that's working at 200 miles an hour. Thank you again :)
Thanks heaps
The literal epitome of human communication. Unreal, we love you all. You redefine professional. So visceral and human.
Thanks heaps, communication is so important
I totally enjoyed this video. It continues to amaze me how Peter makes everything look so easy. Anna, spectacular as always. And Bec, the intros you make are very funny 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love watching… feels like I’m in the room and you’re telling me directly this is how it’s done.
Thank you
Yes this is exactly how I learned lighting to and it is the best way. See a photo you like, figure out the lighting. It is the most effective way to learn lighting on your own.
Totally agree!
WOW this was very cool, Love how you asked Ana to lower the jeans to improve the look and also taking off the white top make it even better. I did something similar years ago with a fitness model to improve the results.
Glad you liked it!!
Nice seeing the professional work behind the lens.👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you so much 😀
Just love these tutorials totally inspirational,the looks that peter gets from the models are unreal they are obviously beautiful girls but the looks that peter captures are are somthing else altogether.
Thank you so much Eddie
Sweet!! Great tips and bring back memories working with various models on concepts. Glad I found your channel. Learned a lot about directing models or clients the past year. Great work by Anna on posing and Bec with the video.
Glad it was helpful!
I love it when I see what Peter sees. Brief moments of melding the minds.
Thank you
Thanks 😊
In a few months i watched all the videos you posted. Your vids and the way you work is so inspiring! A specially the difference between the way the models look into the camera at the beginning of the shoot and the final pictures.
Now reading the other comments, i am not the only one to notice.
Thanks
Anna has a full back piece. Oh my gawd 🔥🔥🔥
Stunning output from master photographer. Hats off.
To me the natural light is one of best possible light. We do not need many flashs to make a nice picture.
Love that technique with the tape to soften the light! Glad I'm not the only one who uses random stuff like this.
gotta play in the studio 😊
Mr. Peter, you did it again. You gave me another valuable lesson on how to get better. And this is simply priceless. Keep on doing what you do.
Anna is gorgeous, there's nothing to add.
Bec is cute and funny at the beginning and end of the video.
Cheers from Bashkiria
Thanks again!
Wonderful as usual! Enjoy the interacting and how well you work with the models to create greatness! Thank you again.
Thank you too!
Peter is great, and is voice is relaxing...guess that is one of the reason why models respond so well to is directions...
Thank you
Always Inspiring !!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Much :) :) :) :)
You are so welcome!
geeze the lighting and balance is great, looks like a fun setup.
Thank you
Always great to see such fluid shooting, harder to do than most would think while filming for RUclips. A silly question though; why don't you reduce power on the trigger rather than walking over to the Scoro?
Thanks, its just habit
As always Peter is ultra precise and highly creative in optimizing his lighting as well as for looking for the best "story telling" emotional expression of his models, whom he always treats very respectfully, almost paternally as if his own children; also passing to them passing part oh his immense experience and knowledge so they improve in their field too. Anna is as gorgeous, talented and beautiful as Peter's most delicate Art Photography. Hello from Belgium to all three, of course also including Bec, always so cool, so relax and so funny an artist/actress "definitely not in a box" in front of the camera, and a quiet, very good and very efficient videographer behind the lens. Definitely an very empathic and winning team for great pleasant photo teaching videos, and to create subtle Art, celebrating the beauty of the face and the body of contemporary Modern Venuses and Unique in Time living Works of Art in Peter's, stunning, stunning, stunning body of Female Art Photography.
Wow thank you so much Michael
Solid gold
Thank you
How could anyone not love Bec??? Always great instruction!
We need to have a video on what in these folders!!: "Mancave Prints", "Car Shit", "LOLS", "In My Pants". I bet there's some gold in those folders!! haha
I can do that but it will have to be censored for youtube
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer or make it a private video and you send the links to
It out.
Love the gobo lighting the image at the end is stunning
Thanks
wonderful demonstration again. beautiful model but the photography brings out something special. special honors to videography. i'm tired as heck but had to watch this through to the end. just compelling work. thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Josh
Loved it! Everything... the model, backgrounds, shots... amazing, Anna and Peter!
Thanks so much!!
Always great tutelage and great model work; if Hasselblad ever gets off their ass and invents eye detection like Canon and Sony well then no more distracting focus and recompose. Honestly how hard can it be for them?
Thanks, Right 😊
Wow thanks for sharing this beautiful artwork of photos and ladies
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing! As usual with Peter
Thanks again!
Amazing stuff as always Peter. Thank you for sharing your talents!
Thanks for watching
goooooooooood
Legend.
I always enjoy your videos. I use that cut-out technique quite a lot although most of the time I use it for full-length nudes. I call it hide-and-seek lighting. Thank you for your continuing videos.
Awesome :) thanks for watching
Many thanks for this new backstage video.
@Bec: You are the best, impossible even to be similar to you
@Ana: You are an excellent model, … my heart almost skipped a beat …
@Peter: You have no limits? You also cut the cardboard to rule how much light you need and where? This is an excellent idea.
Thx!
My GOD she is stunning! Oh ya good job Peter 😂
Thanks
越来越漂亮,喜欢,新年快乐
谢谢
Gr8 examples of collaboration and communication between photog and model. Question though…in the first shoot it appears the window light behind and above you was the main fill?
Thanks the window light was a fill light, the hair light bounced of the foam board was the main light
Excelente 😊!
Thanks
Beautiful!
Another great video guys! I've learnt so much from you. Heartfelt thanks!
Thanks for watching!
"Sweet voice, tough bitch". Brilliant Peter! At first I LMAO, but taking a moment to consider sweet voice is mouth, and tough bitch is eyes, I realize the brilliance in that. “What you feel will effect your face.” I find this kind of off the cuff comments are so very valuable. You really bring out the intense sensuous nature of the models in your focus on the eyes and your encouragement of same with the models. Thank you for sharing so much with all of us. Also, thank you Bec, for your expert capture so we can see how it’s done. You are a great team!
Thanks heaps Richard
Peter that was gold
Thanks
Excellent communication with your model! What kind of light source did you use for the gobo setup? Is it the same as the first setup? Thanks heaps!
Lighting 1: 1.5m octa softbox and window light
Lighting 2: iFootage Anglerfish SL1 320DN and mirrors
Do you prefer shooting without hands so the focus of the photograph remains more on the eyes/look of the model? Or because of the way they can change the shape of the body?
I prefer no hands
Always a fan ,I learn a lot from this process, I have a different question today, where do I find that image of Nicole Kidman ? Thanks i would appreciate that
Thanks www.pinterest.com.mx/pin/278308451949582372/
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer thank you !!!
great video
Thanks for the visit
Extraordinary photography.
Thanks so much
so the first shoot was 6 minutes or so. not to include placement of the set, planning, discussing, getting the initial 'test' exposure set. how long did you actually shoot with Ana? 6 minutes or so, or an hour with a lot of editing (which i didnt see any big obvious edits)...
i like the frisket idea. i dont remember if thats what you called your mask or not but it was added just enough variation in the light to be cool. was that a constant light? i can sometimes see the flash captured on the record camera and i definitely heard the ready indicator but couldnt see any flash influence in the images.
another great image capturing video.
The first shoot was a lot longer than 6 minutes, this was just a shortened version for RUclips, more of the shoot is on Inspire. And yeah it was a constant light for the second look. Glad you enjoyed it :)
I used to work for Paul C.Buff White Lightning repairing the Ultra series strobes. Have you ever used the Einstein strobes?
Nah I haven't

Hello all!
Where did you get the thick foam board for bouncing light
From Froamex, it's a local construction company
Thanks, I'm looking for something similar so I can cut to size for my space ,peace stay safe @@PeterCoulsonPhotographer
Hi team, just a question - when I was at photography school we were always taught to shoot at 80mm for portraiture (on a full frame). But I notice a lot of photographers shoot with a longer lens than this. What is the reason for this and how do you decide what length? Thanks!
There is no fix length for portrait. I've seen some amazing portrait photographer shoot at 35 mm and other shoot at 200 mm. It's really the look that you want, and the look that you like,
Wow, so interesting and educational!
Glad you enjoyed it
At the beginning, Peter summarised the lighting he would use to recreate the lighting on the image that the model brought in. This had strong hair light from above with the face largely in shadow. The final image of the model was good (of course) but didn't have the hair light - strong or otherwise - and the face was nicely lit but not darker than the hair. While I appreciate that the model's hair is darker than the one in the pic she brought in and that Peter, with his vast experience and expertise, will produce a well lit picture, it does seem that the 'inspiration image' has been largely ignored.
I didn't like the first image so I wanted to use it just as inspiration and make my own look
What’s the software you are using on your Mac?
Phocus, it is a Hasselblad software www.hasselblad.com/phocus/
You can process RAWs through this program with any camera on a Mac, but you will not be able to tether or use certain sliders unless you have a Hasselblad
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer so probably not gonna work with a canon 6D
Love all your work Peter but that was about as detailed in recreating light as it is interesting to watch paint dry… your shots looked fairly different, there was no side by side… no camera settings… I also think they used a much smaller (harder light) reflector in the first shot than the massive softbox you used.
I understand that everyone has their own style, but if you title a video recreating light (and effectively a shot) I’d love to see a video that actually does that. Saying this with all the ❤ and admiration for your work!
nice shooting nice girl is anna.
First from brazil.... 🥰🥰
🙌
Of course, useful tips, but the average photographer doesn't have a $200.000 studio to play with.
This could be done in any studio
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer with some basic equipment, a few soft boxes, much can be achieved, with a lot more effort.
In the country I come from, with a monthly salary of 300 dollars, improvisation is the key. But a studio like yours..omg..it's only to dream about.
