Model training Pt 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2021
- Peter has been working with models for over 20 years and during that time has seen the decline in models being trained. It is something agencies used to offer however as that is a thing of the past, he now trains all models he works with to get them into the habit of natural posing and being more confident in front of the camera. In this tutorial, he will show you the tips and tricks he does during his model training sessions to create the high standard stunning photos you see in his folio.

Wow. This is THE BEST tutorial on model photography EVER. I struggle when shooting inexperienced models, they always do the "default" pose - hand on hips, other "on the phone" or "earache" - cause they saw those on some other "models", but when I asked them for their genuine expression, they just froze and are unable to do anything.
Amazing.
These 15 minutes are such an eye opener not only about how the Model should "pose" but also the interaction between Photographer and Model.
Love the tooth ache, head ache, stomach ache, comparison.
Thanks for the explanation hehe, man, you are so good !!
Thanks heaps, Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing her first shoot with her, great to see how you go about with new models getting to feel safe and themselves as they are.
Thank you :)
Your best video yet. This stuff is gold. Thank you
Wow, thanks!
Peter, they are awesome tips. Mindfulness, being aware, Abbey thinking of something she loves like her dog, comfort from a self hug. Awesome tips and tricks to tell a story, get Abbey to relax, interact with the model and take beautiful photographs. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in your studio, just so that I can watch you work so that I can learn and be inspired.
Thank you so much Leigh, Pt 2 to come :)
This is the video I have been looking for. How to take a model or someone who doesn’t model and “break” them so that they can relax and be calm during the shoot. I do this naturally because of who I learned from, but this just reinforces what I’ve learned and makes it so much clearer. Thank you for this amazing content!
Thank you
Peter you are both a true master and artist of your art/craft.
Thanks so much
You could tell the model thought you wanted her to pose for you right off. It was amazing how you got her out of that head space. It like in any new relationship the parties need to be at easy with eachother
Some people have that magic , some other just don't. You definitely have it all, and you are happy sharing it with all of us. So double magic...THANK YOU for being such a generous soul!!!!
Wow. What a master class in working with anyone. My goto example is always finding their trigger-word. In this video, you asked about her dog and instantly she smiled and all tension was gone. The amazing part is that you took this to a whole new level with many more examples like the small circles with her finger or the toes thing. Genius!
Thanks :)
The thing I really like here is you are treating the model as a person, not as just a model. Over the last year or so I’ve been looking for the magic sauce for making beautiful images of woman and you are providing it. Thanks Andrew
Thanks for sharing Andrew :)
I love the idea of talking about her dog. You're exactly right that it's so relaxing.
Love the energy she has when she is herself ! It is a great example to everyone how Peter works with models.
Thanks Wesley
Couldn't agree more with most of the comments, this video is a masterclass at it's finest, on how to work with models and make them feel at ease with the shoot.
I struggled for years to understand how important this relationship of trust and comfort between photographer and model is. It's a shame that because of this, I failed to capture the essence of portrait photography and turned to still life as my comfort zone.
Can't thank you enough for your videos and teachings.
Best 14:28 minutes of how important communication with your model is or rather how to communicate with your model and make her feel at ease.
Can't thank you enough for this knowledge.
Eagerly waiting for part 2,3,4...........
Thanks coming soon
I've been doing photography as a side job and was always trying to get the feeling right with made up stories and scenarios, now i know what i have to do!! This video worth millions 😍
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
wow thanks heaps
Crumbs, wasn't expecting such a brilliant tutorial. The tips were all excellent and it wasn't about the equipment or the setting, it was stuff that anyone could use in virtually any environment. Brilliant stuff.
One of your best, Peter. Fun start with Bec, and great advice for the model, who clearly appreciated your efforts. They certainly paid off.
I shoot mostly new models building their portfolios so, while I enjoy all of your videos, this is my favorite so far! Saved it to review many times so I can incorporate some of Peter's methods into my own. Can't wait for parts 2-5 Quinton!
I think that this might be my favorite video that you've done. I love how you went from "0" to getting the picture. This is what I am needing as I am starting to get into people photography from doing inanimate scenes. Always a learning experience with your videos. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it thanks Greg
can't wait for part two Pete! Thanks for sharing some of your wisdom with us
Okay so my mind is blown now. Did I just watch a transformation?? Amazing...
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer dude, if I could see what you see, I’d be a much better photographer 😉
Wow, you simply communicated things I couldn't even begin to vocalize. Thanks for sharing this video. I look forward to the parts to come. Incredibly helpful!!!
I like the banter you have with the models, Peace stay safe Part two after my errands
Thanks Carl you too
Peter, this was awesome, really informative and practical. Can we have more of these, as many as you like please.
To make people relax and look natural is a talent, you certainly have that skill
This is probably the greatest video on working with a model I have ever watched. Not only are you giving out tips, but you are showing them in action. I like some poses, but when they feel natural to the model. I loved how you showed her in the beginning with her poses and how she thought she had to look, and how you softened her look, but with a bit of her edge. I will be watching this again with a pad of paper and a pen. Pardon my language but fan-fucking-tastic!
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer Most welcome sir! Love your work!
15 min masterclass - thanks.
Thanks for watching
This is amazing, I loved more from this video in the last 8 months
Thank you
Loved this one Peter and Bec. I love how you present vids with a specific them each time.
Thanks Brian
Really love how good a communicator you are plus your view on models being themselves. Sounds revolutionary…
Wow, thank you!
not gonna lie..the intro was so cute, i felt abit in love with her ..
and of course an amaaazing video..im in the beginning and a good friend recommended this channel and i really see why..every video is insane. thx so much
Thank you so much!!
Too much to love about this video. Excellent work, very much looking forward to the following parts, however many there may be!
Another great tutorial. Great way to interact with the model and make her relaxed and more natural when posing
I'm not a model. But, I enjoyed these tips for myself. I'm really uncomfortable in front of a camera. I can't avoid the camera all the time. Thanks for sharing this valuable information. This everyday woman wants to be her best*🦋
Thanks for sharing, you could just do what I do, every time someone points to CAMERA at me I just saved myself I'm awesome and then I don't get terrible pictures but I also hate the camera
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer Thanks for the tip. I'll try anything. It's actually a bit worse than just a photo. I'm a songwriter and need to get over the camera thing because now we're singing videos. lalalalala
I actually enjoy shooting photos and video production more than being in them. I've been learning a lot about lighting and having fun!
I'll try it
. . . I'm Awesome!
Thanks, that was extremely informative. I knew one/two of the "tricks" to relax a model, but that was a real fireworks of information. Great!
Glad you enjoyed it!
A perfect future for Abbey! Peter gives so much real neccessary content to create a perfect working base with experienced or non experienced models. Thank you so much!
Thanks heaps for watching
The best episode you have done
This has been one of my favourite videos that you have done, really looking forward to seeing pt 2
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've been trying some of the things Peter advises here and ... they work! Thank--you Peter!😀😃😄😁
Awesome
This is awesome and a nice refresh for me before I go back to doing shoots
Thank you
Easily one of the best videos I’ve watched on UA-cam for posing.
Keep up the great work much appreciated.
Thanks so much
All the comments have already said what I wanted to. Very nice video and I learn something every time I watch your videos. Thank you.
Yep, amazing! Tried out Peter's techniques on a model i hadn't worked with before, and it worked a charm! Drifting, he little circles, "have a thought". . masterful. Thanks, Peter!.
Glad it helped!
Man, you are amazing. What a joy to watch.
Wow, thank you!
Thankyou. I've been needing this forever
So true and the proof is in the results. Your pictures are usually the best in every model's portfolio. I always love to see your work.
Thanks so much!
That’s why you are a master sir Peter!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
wow thank you :)
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer you are welcome!
Outstanding as always Peter!
Thank you
Always an inspiration and certainly a reason why you get amazing results.
Thanks I appreciate that :)
Awesome! Love your sensible way to analyze and guide your model. Great tutorial, Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I year later and I still come back to this video - it says so much about the initial starting point and how to proceed, thanks again!
Thanks for watching 2 times 😁
Love Bec’s intro’s. She makes Peter’s videos so light hearted whereas Peter is so informative and helpful. Love watching these videos.
Thank you
Excellent Peter! Thank you for this.
7:00 - I admit, very damn true. Never thought of it specifically in that manner.
GIVE US PART 2 NOW!!!!!!! THIS STUFF IS AMAZING THANK YOU!
Great tips. Thanks. Looking forward to see the rest.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this.
The tips and tricks make perfect sense and is such a universal thing.
Thank you Peter. 🙏
Thank you
love this way of teaching how to feel, such an amazing way to express a feeling and create beautiful images, always inspiring Peter! hopefully one day I can get to a workshop.
absolutely! stay safe guys
Amazing video, thank you so much for sharing. Such a big help for even amateur photographers to help non-models.
Glad it was helpful!
The best video so far. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, thanks!
Love these! You should have a book just on all your tips for "breaking" a model.
Nice video! Thanks for sharing once again! Lovely photos of Abbey!
Many thanks!
Great demonstration Peter and the girls, full of very useful info! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful thanks
A golden masterclass. So much to take away from this. I would like to have seen a 1st photo compared to end of session side by side.
Thanks, Coming soon :)
I love learning something new! I will use these techniques in my next shoot. Thank you.
Thanks
This was the best video so far! Thank you very much for sharing this insight.
You're so welcome!
Yes Got her too think and feel differently 💯💯💯💯💯🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This guy is crazy good, stuff I've never even thought of. Thank you, very informative.
Thanks for watching Steven
What a fantastic video. One of your best. The way you explained it really resonated. Thanks guys.
Wow, thank you!
Excellent video and topic Mr. Peter Coulson, thanks for making it! Funny, I have noticed for a while a lot of people have fallen into the "selfie" mode and when they are photographed it seems as they are never pleased since they are so used to the selfie face they make which its not the face the rest of the world sees when they walk around. Thanks for all the great things you share in your channel Sir!
I love this masterclass. Nice work Peter!! I appreciate it.
My pleasure!
Man this is awesome! I've learnt so much about posing someone from this, thank you!!! 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks
This is just amazing, a masterclass, thanks, I needed that!!!
Thanks Ricardo I'm glad you enjoyed it
This was so helpful. Thanks for a great vid
These are amazing Peter. I’m learning so much. Thank you.
Very welcome
Peter, to echo what @martij75 and others have said, this kind of detail is massively helpful (for both us as photographers as well as inexperienced models too) and I am so looking forward to seeing part two (and others too hopefully). There are so many little gems in what you said just there, both to help us understand how and why people do those awful facial expressions they THINK look good on their selfie shots, but are so completely unnatural and fake, as well as what to say and explain and how to handle the situation to get them to relax and produce better, natural looking poses and expressions. Absolutely brilliant! 👍
Thank you so much Stephen, really appreciate it and I'm so happy to hear this was helpful for you
@Peter: your lessons have full credibility, it would be worthless to be the best photographer without having the ability to guide a model, since a model is not a machine but a humane creature. Sharing your experience as an artist and a professional dignifies you and makes you a great human being. @Bec: many thanks for being behind the video camera, capturing this master class, and for the “Hi guys”, I also like how you articulate your words and your hands. BTW, I like the model’s face expression in the following times: 6:56, 10:04, 10:27, 11:06 to 11:09, 11:29 to 11:30, 13:50 to 13:51. @Peter&@Bec: Please, never stop recording videos! (All my comments have been made with all my sincere respect to the participants in the recording)
Thank you so much David, really appreciate it
Peter's slowburning crusade against insta poses and duckface, one model at a time.
:)
Wow! that's a collection of great tips!!
Glad you like them!
This is a great video! I love it! Thanks, Peter
Thank you too!
Awesome, I'm looking forward for part II and III :)
Coming very soon :)
