I once heard photography described as "painting with light" and I think this is a pretty cool demonstration of that effect as you're making such drastic changes with each of your adjustments!
Awesome, thank you! The word Photography literally means 'drawing with light', which derives from the Greek photo, meaning light and graph, meaning to draw.
Peter this was a 2 for 1 video. First was watching you work your magic with Meika and light. Then there were the wide shots. The images on the walls and the rabbit head appeared to be an audience watching the session. You said you “never stop playing” and that fun, relaxed vibe comes through in the videos. Thanks!
Thanks heaps
I feel like this can cover 50 percent of my lighting needs when it comes to portraiture. Peter thank you so much. Hope I can join one of your workshops the next time you're in the states.
Thank you
Your comment about learning to a master a light was spot on. Every time I watch a video, there is something I learn or need to be reminded about. My work is very sloppy and that shows in the results.
Thanks, don't rush lighting, let it breath
another good video ! nice explenation with good exemple !
Thanks! 😃
Cool, cool…
Thanks
Thank you Peter and Meika nice way to set up the V-flats now to set up something similar in a smaller space. Peace
Thank you, yes V-flats are the best
My first 4x8 V- flat@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer
Excellent tutorial! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The amount of knowledge and tips you provide in a 10min video is brilliant! Worth every minute! :D
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for another unmatched great lesson!
My pleasure!
I just love Meika's confidence and determination, she is going places. Great video, I've learned a lot about lighting and all things photography from you and I am forever grateful, Happy Holidays
Thanks so much
Such a great video. Thanks for sharing Peter
Glad you enjoyed it
Very pretty - great job as always.
Thank you! 😊
Simply astonishing!!!?👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you
Exceptional......I learn so much!!!! So happy I subscribed to this channel.
Awesome! Thank you!
Superb! Thanks!!
Our pleasure!
Lovin the messy hair look❤️ ! Don’t touch it Meika! 😁
Great Video!
Thanks!
Really useful video. Those little changes making all that difference. I need to get back in the studio and try some of these. Great shots of Meika too. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
This video was amazing. I think I learned quite a bit in just 10 minutes. Absolutely stunning images. I personally loved the contrasty profile shots. Over the shoulder shots. And the last few you put up.
But as always, they were all amazing. Weldone guys. 👏🏻
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much
Wow super simple explanation! It’s good for me to take a step back sometimes. Easy to make lighting more and more complicated
Glad it was helpful!
love the cheeky thumbnail.. beautiful video! love all that edu! tis the art of modeling! ha! U hot that 1 ! Rembranty light! & the portrait artist is still living by those rules, Today! imagine!
glad U said that! a total bomb shell aspect! super vid!
Thanks so much
Great model
Terrific Tutorial Peter, very timely, I am playing with highly contrasty bw portraits and silhouettes.
Meika has an incredibly intense gaze. Her eyes are stunningly powerful. I love her style!
You're very welcome!
Once more a great hands on tutorial, using one photo shoot to illustrate how small details in position of light and/or model have very subtle or big creative consequences on the final aspect of the portrait of that lovely model.
In theory the rules seem simple, but in their practical use they become a very complex mix and challenge to get to the optimal result.
I LOVE your Art Work, your teaching and your very natural, respectful and most empathic interaction with your models Peter.
A fan from Belgium.
Thanks so much
thanks, that was very instructive and memorable demonstration of lighting principles and techniques. Much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
I love your work! Hi from Mexico!
Thank you! Cheers!
All ur work is great and hopefully you work more with meika soon 🖤🖤👼😈🧡💖
That's the plan!
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer oh yay 😁😍😱
Excellent demonstration and entertaining too. Typically I have avoided photographing people but that could change. I'm going with experimenting with what I saw here.
Thanks, yes have a play
Lovely...
Great vid
thanks
Always anazing! Great stuff!
Thank you! Cheers!
thanks peter, you teach me a lot.
Glad to hear that!
the most gorgeous eyes
Great video and very very educational, your bag of tricks is bottomless hehehe.
Off topic:] I was going through some old Normal magazines and found your work in Issue 8 23 th May 2016.
A series called Nébuleuse with the famous make up artist Damien Laturaze (big fan) who did also the make up for Emily in Paris (even bigger fan) in 2020.
BEAUTIFUL shots Peter, maybe you can show some of your older work cause I really enjoyed that.
Anyways, thanks (double) for sharing !
Thanks so much, all my older work is on my website
Many thanks for this new backstage video.
@M: Many thanks for sharing and for posing in this video . I'm very happy to know that you're successful.
@P: Many thanks for demonstrating lighting when it comes from the side, that I think is my favorite one, because the silhouette, in vertical, is outlined a lot. I hope it’s not appropriate to say that my eyes are always tented to do vertical scanning. I (obviously) like a lot the cover image, and also the images at 2:02 and 2:10 with the eye like a drop of water.
Beautiful and awesome set altogether. My favs were at 7m 54s (side view but slight back arch, head tilt back and yet turned toward cam), 8m 18s (first one with arms above head and leaning a bit), 8m 20s (arms up but a more alluring look on her face), 9m 38s (kind of near deceptively cute) and then topped by 10m 11s (another arms up and slight lean but this one is with the more "wild" hair). Loved what you did with the lighting and how quickly you were able to do so--although I still find some of that difficult it is at least highly understandable when I see people aptly demonstrating as they go along.
Thanks heaps Rick, glad you liked it
Just the kind of stuff I want to work on when I get my studio setup next year. Simple, clear, relaxed paced instruction that is a joy to follow. Thanks, Peter ! P.S. Which studio light are you using here? Keep well. Ciao
Thanks, Profoto D2 with large deep dish umbrella with diffuser
The manic of photography, but he has some very skilled models.
Awesome lesson! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Great job Peter pretty young lady 😊
Yes, thank you
Meika is such a cutie and sweety. I really like your sessions with her❣And of course a great demonstration of your skills in lighting. Thx for sharing this with us!
Thank you very much!
Your best tutorial yet…. now I know I can’t be a photographer
Thank you, but I don't understand why
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer watching someone who has control over their art is intimidating. Btw… I’ve the most extraordinary array of Uber expensive photo gear, Ziess, Nikon z9 so forth….. Do you ever run classes in Sydney?
Yes workshops.peter-coulson.com.au/workshops/sydney-2024/?c=22783a5940ef
6:28... I couldn't help but notice that Mia lifted up on her toes when you were getting ready to take your next image.. Well trained! :P
Yes Meika is awesome
I just bought my first light, I had never need it one, and I was wondering if I had to buy a second one, i’m gonna follow your advice
Welcome aboard one light
Another great tutorial. Quick tip about the BW in green channel. Not sure if this works in C1 but in LR/ACR I experimented a bit. Started with the channel mixer in Photoshop (mono, 100%G, rest zero) and exported that as a LUT which I then based a new camera profile on. I THINK it is the same response in the RAW file but not sure since I have never used Phocus that much. Might be worth checking out though...
thanks yes I have made luts for red, green and blue channel for LR but I don't know how to put them in C1
Hi Peter. Looking forward to attending your workshop in Sydney next year! I'm just trying to fit out my studio at the moment and wondering where you got your V flats from. I gather they are just thicker foam board but noticed they stand pretty well on their own unlike the thinner ones. Have you taped them together? I was considering just buying some cheap doors from bunnings, painting them and mounting on a roller frame but don't think they would be as versatile. Thanks!
Thanks heaps Callam, looking forward to it too. I got the foam boards from Foamex www.foamex.com.au/ and then painted one side black (with matte acrylic, not spray paint) and then taped them together
Love meika super star beautiful stunner and queen of modeling and tictok and fitness billion following soon yes
Brilliant !
Loved this tutorial
I’ve learned so much from you Peter, enough to actually make a go of this, thank you! But I can’t afford your D2 at a couple thousand. Can I get away with a 400 watt alternative, like a Godox? - David
Thanks heaps, yes, definitely 400 W go docs would be fine
*⚡🔥❤️🔥⚡* 0:38
I can't stand how bloody beautiful your model is
Gosh, I looked up the definition of cute and there was a picture of Meika! Her face is getting a bit more definition as she gets a bit older and it just blows me away. Anytime she wants to shoot in America have her call me!
Lucky Pete‼️😳😊
Sorry to repeat my self, again and again….you sir are a wizard, master of light
Thanks heaps
Bravo, you make it so simple.
Many thanks!
most underrated channel on youtube!
Thank you
Wow great job 👍 super skill set still you need to do a photo shoot with river
Amazing what one light can do.
For those of us with less space & lower budgets, can a smaller diffuser/different shape still get something similar?
Yes one light is the best. Smaller light will still do a similar effect but will just be a little more contrasty
have you considered shooting with a leica q2 monochrom or a m10 monochrom if you are aiming for black and white results or is the medium format a bigger advantage over a monochrome full frame sensor?
no I don't want the same looking monochrome imageres as everyone else using licea monochrome, I have my own look
Bam. First. I will go over to Inspire later today.
Enjoy!
Awesome tutorial. So... whats that gas tank over there?
It's for the heater
I am not a photographer, may I ask what are those aut-red markings on Meika in capture one? What do they cue?
over exposure warnings
Por que nunca haces las fotos en vertical? Por calidad de la lente en apaisado o cual es el motivo. Gracias
Porque mis ojos ven en paisaje y siempre puedo recortar una imagen de paisaje en vertical.
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer gracias un saludo
