[@postcardswithkevan]

I subscribed because I love the rapid-fire advice. There are a lot of channels that share great advice on how to be a photographer but they usually take forever to get to the point.

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Kevan BH I hear that! Thank you!

[@tim5760]

Kevanbh glad im not the only one who noticed lol Those vids are annoying esp when they talk about how they dyed their hair or where they got their new tshirt and stuffs lmao

[@ladyghirahim5418]

Mango Street is great for photography tutorials that don’t waste your time. Like that’s literally their pitch and their vids are rad af

[@casskies]

DUUUUUUUDE this was amazing!! FIRST of all, you got straight in to the video! No 10 minute intro that has nothing to do with why i clicked on the video. Thank you! Secondly, these were simple but very useful tricks, one of which i actually already use for gaming screenshots. Definitely a new subscriber here! Love your energy too

Vishan Desilva yeah he looks more like a magician than a photographer

[@jessesmileyman]

You deserve more views than you get, your knowledge is gold

[@seekr9267]

could NOT agree more.

[@calvinwong365]

I think he just started this channel 5 years ago and creeped up last two months. he literally jumped from 30ksubs to to current now in two months i think maybe three. My first video i saw maybe 3 weeks ago on his channel was that photoshop one with the man centered with the mountain views Lake Lousie i think, i don't know lol. I wonder is he sponsored by apple cause he mentions iphones alot. i have 6p for so long and just realised i have a pretty good phone camera.

[@InfamousGFox]

Jesse Witts he is just telling lazy photographers, how to become better photographers. So practice practice practice.

[@ow3n]

Jesse Witts i agree

[@aadhithbala]

yep! now look at him...

[@renierelagazo7888]

the way your video looks, how you look in the vid, how collected you are infront of the camera, the way you speak and the clarity of your words, your confidence- you got me there bud. tired of watching youtubers who stutter alot and speak alot of nonsense with so many fillers. thanks for the tutorials..

[@pdebie1982]

In short: think before you shoot ;)

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Pretty much sums it up yeah LOL

[@pdebie1982]

It's the first thing I teach my students. Don't point and shoot, but look at the subject and think about what you like about it. Why did the subject caught your attention. If you cannot specify it. It probably won't get the attention of the people who look at your photo also. So step back a moment and think about how you want to emphasize that thing that made you stop for a second. By just thinking about it for a couple of seconds, you're getting a better picture allready. :)

[@PeterMcKinnon]

pdebie1982 It's why I think everyone should shoot film at least once in their life!

[@pdebie1982]

at least! Totally agree with you. Shooting film makes you think twice about clicking the shutter button. I've got an old 6x6 film camera with no automatic controls, lightmetering or whatever. The first time pressing the shutter was scary. Did I waste a piece of film? Or does it come out nicely. Luckily the first photo was only a bit underexposed, but the rest was pretty nice. I love shooting film. :)

[@YadhuGopalG]

Why don't you have more subscribers? Seriously man, the content is crisp, neat and to the point. You deserve better. Subscribed. Btw, just entered the photography game, your videos are a huge help, and love the way you present :)

[@manishsingh20]

I have learnt so much from you. I have watched so many tutorials in last 6 months learning photography and honestly this is the first time I am leaving a feedback as you deserve it. Your videos are so clear and informative and you don’t talk any junk, keep up the good work mate and also thank you for making such videos to help people like me.

[@BraveCreatives]

Excellent tips! Patience is key but also the willingness to try something new. I love shooting photos in new situations and playing around with lighting.

[@Wanderlust]

These tips are golden! You Sir just earned yourself a new subscriber ;)

[@iamvmsulthan]

[@loscaidosinc.2290]

felt exactly the same way and subscribed!

[@jconstant]

Peter, in the past hour you've become my favorite photographer. Love these videos you produce. You're teaching some really, really valuable stuff. Just bought your preset pack (1st presets I've ever purchased) and I think they're great!

[@beatrixr4503]

Love all of these tips! My favorite would be the number 2 which is shoot thru. I realized how it is so important to add a little something around the object instead of capturing it the normal way. 👌🏼

[@machia-mw1lm]

What you're describing here are the extreme basics . But it is these basic elements that help to make a great photograph . Without them , the latest iPhone , the DSLR with more megapixels or a thousand dollar lens is meaningless . Good short lesson here .

[@legionnwokedi4104]

hi..... are u looking for a way to become an expert in photography and probably make money doing it....then email me at wutangschannel @ gmail .com...because I have something that will help. Thanks and remember to stay safe.

[@nickslens]

This is a fantastic video! All of the advice is solid and the production value of the video in itself was impressive. Your presentation was very great, you didn't ramble...nothing. It was concise and to the point. Loved it.

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Appreciate that! Thanks!

[@tombuck]

This is rad. The overhead composition and shooting through something tips are so simple but super game changing. Thank you!

[@pinywood3077]

3:41 Is litteraly no one gonna talk about that epic flip?

[@Officially_LaMarcus]

I caught that! lol

[@So.cheese]

Okay I love how you jump right into the subject. Most of the youtubers nowadays have like 1-2 minutes intro and that drives me crazy!! Simple, straightforward advises right off the bat. Great video!!

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Happy to help

[@hannahlmao2816]

I’m only 12 years old but I really love photography and I want to make a job out of it one day. I want to get better and this video really helped 😁

[@sky1786]

Hey 14 year old artist and author I want to be a comic designer I hope we can fulfil our dreams.

[@Opticalwander]

Can I just say how much you've improves In a year I watched this when you first uploaded and now rewatching it to compare to your recent stuff and dude your killing it so bad right now your confidence has gone up your flow when you talk is better and your way more into to it amazing work dude seriously 👊👊

[@markreno2252]

My son is a dancer and I try to take a ton of great photos at his recitals to share with the other parents. Well this past weekend I upped my game. I rented a Canon L series 70-200mm IS II lens and finally got decent shots by adjusting my in-camera settings properly. Some of that I’m sure was thanks to your videos. What I did really different is stand in the wing of stage right and take photos from the side and back of the performers. It was the third show of the weekend and I already took thousands of pictures from the back of the audience. I’m quite pleased with how they turned out and they were the first set of photos I shared online. By thinking opposite, as you put it, I gave my dance family something unique and that they really appreciate.

[@nadinek.1644]

"Hell it could be shit too" haha keepin it real

[@Mayaathome]

This was a bummer for me, because I wanted to use the video in a classroom.

[@guy_trahan]

I'm still laughing at that one ... and the vid is over. ha ha ha ha ha!!!

[@stevelink21]

Excellent tips, Peter! If I may suggest one more...Take your Time before pressing the shutter release! A little contemplation on your points before taking the image could also provide additional creative ideas that you can implement to improve the photograph...especially in still lifes where you have the luxury of "time". Thanks again!

[@DRChevalier]

Excellent video Peter, clarity on principles, fast paced, useful and great fun. Well done!

[@chrissalerno1116]

Yup, sometime a refresher can help on things you learn from years back. Thanks Peter.

Man, you make the best tutorial vids.. informational, to-the-point and entertaining. Every cut has purpose and I find myself picking up little things here and there that aren't even directly related to the content. Keep up the great work!

Great tips brother!! Going to try it with my iPhone. I just subscribed, you have an awesome channel. I look forward to watching all your videos. Have a great day.

I CANT STRESS ENOUGH HOW MUCH THIS CHANNEL HAS HELPED ME. ESPECIALLY SINCE IM KINDA BROKE SO IM UTILIZING MY IPHONE 8 PLUS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS MORE THAN PROFESSIONAL THAN ME ARE TELLING ME HOW EXCELLENT MY WORK IS. but I’m still amateur so I’m not gonna let that blow up an ego but still it’s crazy how these five tips make such a drastic change

[@rayman9670]

When you said "hey siri whats golden hour" my phone heard you and looked it up. Thanks bro

[@SusannahPerri]

Thank you, Peter. I have been doing this for years. What a difference from just a "snapshot." People stop and look at me when I'm out in public, squatting down or even sitting on the ground. I'm sure they think I'm doing it wrong, but I don't care.

Love your blurry back ground, hate when the background is hard in the eyes. Or distracting.

[@ZaberAnsaryOfficial]

Or Add a 2px Black stroke around the title

[@alexrussell4002]

It’s a solid camera to start on, got some good pics with it

Nice video, short and sweet. I've also learned the angles can help get your shadow out of the photo when the lighting is really good too.

[@moritlh]

Just wanted to say one thing! Not all smartphones are iPhones 😊 You are welcome too

[@karenmorelandphotography]

Perfect, thank you! You're right about the angles, they are everything!!
