Hearing the two of you interact is instructive. I would appreciate seeing/hearing Peter work with a new model with whom he doesn't already have a long-standing working relationship, just to hear how he builds that relationship in a first session.
Thanks, ua-cam.com/video/KqcD8Gayn2I/v-deo.html
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer Thank you. I'll check it out.
Again, this channel is the best for portraiture and photography in general. You don't focus on gear, just technique and technical aspects of photography.
Wow, thanks so much
Awesome! I am slowly starting to appreciate(?) that even very small changes in light have a big impact on photos! Thanks for the easy to understand instructions/explanations Peter, and you've got a rare gem in Bec! Thanks guys!
Great to hear, thanks
Peter is absolutely fantastic at appreciating tiny "issues" with light ( and shadow!), AND, how much fix them!
Bec is such a "flexible" model, constantly interesting, and a good videographer, to boot! ( Do you use the phrase "to boot" in Aus?)
the video camera on the last look had the best angle showing beck and the space shes in i love that
Bec is so beautiful and somehow Peter improves her 2x. Sometimes I wish she smiled in a picture but it might be dangerous for my old heart.
She is super fotogenic.
Love the interaction; can’t believe the amount of little movements Bec is making between shots. Also love Peter’s T-shirts throughout all the videos. Also great for me this is on camera flash as I have one but hardly use it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love those shots of Bec in coat and boots --- they have a retro 70s rock and roll vibe -- can imagine Jim Morrison and Stevie Nicks coming through the door(s) and nodding at Bec :)
Nice so cool how Peter gets Bec to give her best.
Hi all it's very nice seeing how you work baesis a good model
Hey, thanks
I Love that direct camera flash look. I used this before for models, it gives that really cool edgy spontaneous look.
Proving once again that a Camera armed with a flash, a model as lovely as Bec and a generic backdrop flipped to black and white, make for interesting pictures once tweaked a little in Photoshop. Thanks for the informative tutorial, Peter!! - Dave
Thanks heaps Dave
I always enjoy seeing you two work together. Let’s be honest, Bec is pretty easy on the eyes.❤ Thanks, guys🙏
Thanks for watching!
Great assistant and a model. I always try to see your videos since I used to do photography as a hobby.
Hi Bec, you present very well. I like it when the video starts with you. ❤❤❤
Oh thank you!
Nicely done, sort of back stage rock star look! (Redwall) I world use my ringlight for that look 4a signature poster. Great presentation !
Thanks
I would like to see a glimpse of what you did in photoshop. Thanks for sharing this beautifully inspiring work!
Thank you, Coming soon!
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer great! Look forward to it!
Just last week I bought a nice Godox flash to go on my fancy Nikon. I really don't know how to use the flash properly yet. And this video pops up. It's like Christmas morning. Thank you:)
Thank you now go have some fun
Now THAT is a steady tripod 🙂
The on camera flash gives the images a late 1970's vibe. Reminds me of shooting old Tri-X Pan and Orthochromatic film ( Orthochromatic can be absolutely brutal on the complexion at times, though).
Thanks for sharing! What a great shoot! I loved the hair and the fur coat - sweet!
Thanks
Awesome work
It would have been nice to see becks smile
Awesome setup and awesome style shoot! Thanks for all the great tips, Can Bec do a video where she gives some posing tips? Like how to get in the zone and how to pose for a photographer
Yes, coming soon
Fantastic!!! Love your work and always get great tips and inspo, but some models even when talking them through the shoot they still hold back. Thanks for everything, greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Great work! loving that red backdrop! awesome idea!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wooow beautiful work and model 😊
Thank you so much 😀
That was a great video. Excellent shot!! the end result and mood are awesome!
Thank you
Thanks Peter - Always interesting stuff.
Thanks
I think Bec could vibe with a glass of wine 🍷🤣
Sort of Ellen v. U.'s Style at the beginning.. 😉 Like it!
Yes! Thank you!
Uuuu what is that ? 😃😍 I like new walls 😍😄🙌🏼
8:55 OMG that is the winning shot by far (for me) !!!
Excellent.
I know how to get Bec straight into the vibe ...
..... get her the black dress we talked about in my prior email hehehe.
Will be so cool and I'll bet your followers will love it.
Thanks for sharing and have a prosperous week
I used to hate using on camera flash because I hated the harshness of it and the weird shadow that screamed that it was on camera. But over the last couple years of playing around with it, and watching videos like these, I've learned to enjoy the look it gives off. That paparazzi, almost trashy, kind of look and feel can be used to great effect. Granted sometimes I'll take it off camera for a more severe, but still fun shadow. 😊
Yes it's a style you either hate or you learn to appreciate the amazing trashy emotion it gives th the photo
@PeterCoulsonPhotographer Yup. Once I saw how it can be used and get that trashy feel I went back to give it a try and have had some success with it.
Bec your a chameleon as the light changes. You can completely change looks. Wow !
love the background! great job ya'll
Thanks so much!
Inspiring, thanks.
My pleasure!
Great video. Love the work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Remembers me of this legend 1990 Monica Bellucci shoot in a hotel with Fred Meylan
Yup, I was doing this with a model 40 years ago…… It’s a photographic style that goes back even further than that.
Bec seemed uncomfortable with the close in work. So I thought it was worth adding a quick comment. It was nice to be able to see into the depth of her eyes a bit. Thank you both for continually being willing and able to try something new.
Thanks for sharing!
Love to see you work 👍⭐ Never saw the so called butterfly though.... 😅 You could do a video of the damn elusive insect lol.
Great video, thank you for sharing it with us.
Glad you enjoyed it
Many thanks for this new video.
@B: Many thanks for posing in this session. Is that yellowish painting and the red panel the hints of the clothes you are going to wear in TL?
@P: I cracked up when you said: “…I can’t do that color thing…”. I like colors a lot, believe me; I cannot imagine my world without colors, even in photographs and movies. But the transformation from color to BW, that happens during editing where you get rid of colors to give way to shapes, is one of the most satisfying things I have experienced during these last years. It is like finding the exit in a maze, like finding the solution to a math exam. Anyway, I will keep on try to find the meaning to colors in my photographs.
Beautiful work. I learn so much watching the two of you work. It's pretty obvious you've worked together for (?? how long) a while now and you almost speak together in a short hand. The fact that you take the time (Peter) to explain what you are doing and how you are doing it is very much appreciated. I would love to see one episode where you explain how you take a high contrast photo (where you've ?upped your green channel to bring out the hair) and fix the skin in photo shop? I'm also really curious about how you decide what photo to concentrate on: It's pretty easy to take out the photos that don't turn out and it's pretty easy to see the photos that don't need much post-production work but you take so many wonderful photos and Bec is after all very pretty and that comes through in the photos: How do you choose? Thanks both!
Thanks, there's always one picture that just stands out above the rest for me
Bec why you waiting on that camera to click? Didn't he teach you to flow not "pose"? lol Good stuff Peter!
Bec, you're absolutely adorable. 😁
that gives me an idea
Ideas are good
It’s amazing how you get black and white to look, what made you go to that. Do you post any of your techniques to get that look. I noticed how you played with the green channel. I really love the work you both do, you must have fun traveling all the different places. You’re very lucky to have your model.
We have lots of videos here ua-cam.com/play/PL4oFkzfPBqYIZjSclnbEnHkKxu4aK-WJD.html including retouching, and also on our subscription site inspire.peter-coulson.com.au/
Hello, Peter and Bec . Are those new backgrounds ? Angel wings
no very old backgrounds
That’s called sleepy bec, that’s blown out bec
"i cant do that color thing" hits the BW conversion in 0.02 seconds...
quite the interesting background. another $1 purchase like that chair from a few years ago? im also intrigued by the white panel with the jagged/saw tooth edge up on blocks (it looks like youre painting it maybe?)
i know Bec is doing 'that modeling thing' but those little twitchy moves looks like shes got parkinson's. is there a video in your archives that teaches the little tiny moves like that, that i can use to teach some models, i shoot with? i saw the ones with Meika you shot with, but she still seemed to have the basic moves to start with.
this certainly seemed like a departure from your normal way of doing things as far as having the on camera flash. i liked it.
seeing your gear on the shelf prompts me to ask. do you have a kit at home that you use? i dont have a studio so all my gear is in my den. i dont shoot studio stuff (since i dont have one) but if i ever become rich enough to HAVE a studio, im thinking id need to either shlep all my gear back and forth so i have it for when i might need it or buy another set up so i could have one on hand and stuff at the studio. 1st world problems right?
I have hasselblad 501cm, what 3 lenses would you concider the best 3 to have. Love your work, Bec is stunning, those amazing eyes. many thanks.
80mm f2.8
Would a ball diffuser, like what we'd expect to see on a photojournalist rig, make it easier to get the skin details where you wanted without needing photoshop?
I'm one of those people that hates photoshop - I'll use Lightroom for levels and the occasional zit-correction, but the idea of repainting the model,.. well, what would be the point of hiring the model for her look to only paint it away?
A ball diffuser would give a different look, but give it a try
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer I printed my own some time ago, same with gridded and long tube snoots, for doing that Captain Kirk Eye-Light. Now, if only I could get a speedlight that syncs to SDI timecode for my DNG capable Cine camera :)
Playing with light can be a challenge, it can also be a lot of fun.
haha you might be the first person ever to do basically bare-bulb on camera flash from a Hasselblad. ;) Personally, I feel like, as usual, you and Bec did great it but I just don't like the on camera light grenade look. I especially hate what it does to the eyes with the itty bitty tiny catch light right in the middle of the eye. It looks like there is a spec of dust in the model's eye more than a twinkle. If you compare to that example shot at 5:59 where there was a larger softbox used, it is just so night and day how much more life is in the eyes. The shots you did with the huge white bounce were by far the best IMO because the bounce brought life back into Bec's eyes.
Just my two cents. Imo the "Uncle Terry" look always has a cheapness to it and you can achieve a similar style of light but with a way more elegant look with a beauty dish.
No it was done By Helmut Newton on Hasselblad back in the 70's and I love this look for fashion and grunge
Nice
Did Peter do this backdrop himself as always?
Yes
peter, do your inspire classes already have videos with subtitles in different languages (especially Brazilian Portuguese, which is my language)?
Sorry not yet, but coming soon
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer I'm waiting!
"On camera flash" in the loosest possible way.
Terry's back xD
no this was never Terry's look. This is paparazzi Mets flash on the side of a camera, been done since the 50s.
