Congrats to Canon for this awesome new series! Excellent right out of the gate. Peter is such a legend, and Mason is a natural at interviewing!

[@LindaMaier360]

Why is this not on youtube music/podcasts? I would love to follow as a podcast so I can listen on the go.

[@snakechmr5191]

You guys get a grip. No one promised product announcements. Perhaps future guest will expound on Canon's development philosophy (hint, hint). I found this type of presentation helpful and inspiring. I'm looking forward to the next one! Thanks Canon.

Even though I know most of the Peter Hurley history, I enjoyed this interview without any show around it. It is nice to see this great successful professional in a human easy conversation. I have learned a lot about headshots in his crew team. Thanks.

[@dominiquethomas373]

I frist leaned about Peter via B&H they put out videos just like this with different pro photographs. It makes lots of sense for Canon USA to do Pod cast type interviews to get us all inspired. I was totally inspired by Peter to start doing head shots and more studio work. Head shot photography is psychology. To get yhe best shots you have to get into the subject head to get them to relax, find the best side of the face and of course get the person to smile or get the correct expression.

[@jeffrey3205]

This is very inspiring, thanks Canon!!! Looking forward to seeing all the new tools this year, however, can you guys put back the top mode screen on the R6iii that was in almost every dslr including the 6D series.

[@SamNewton]

[@purnamalla]

[@ldesilva]

Waiting and waiting for the R5M2 :(

[@Sabundy]

Maybe its similar to Sony's After Hours videos they do once a month. They will have some guys who work for Canon do a live Q and A video about all things Canon. Thats what Sony does once a month with its "Sony After Hours" videos. Would be cool if Canon does the same with this

[@RayValdezPhotography]

nah we just want to see some new cameras at this point. We already had the Qs and As for whats out

Why? That's a weird comment.

[@mwran]

Maybe a new printer

[@barkyvonschnauzer2188]

The interview is boring he’s not relatable to Peter. Peter is a guys guy, and very laid back. Boring!! Love Peter as im a BIG fan

[@lizandroron3373]

I have seen your full interview from June 12. It was great, very nice! Your followers and admirers will surely appreciate it! I loved when you talked about your dear family and Yelitza's smile, the photos we were able to see! (That touched my heart) It was sad that you never photographed Susan, your mother! (That touched my heart too, I didn't know that) You feel what an intelligent, divine and fantastic man and father you are! I am super happy and honored to have you as my brother-in-law who I adore! And who is also gorgeous! I'm PROUD of you PETER HURLEY! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪 Uncle / Tio Lizandro 💖💖💖💖

[@jakubstrumillo]

If guys from Canon read comments, please add "zoom lock" switch to zoom lenses. Please, please🎉

A perfect podcast and nice to be able to watch it and see some images referenced. Look forward to following along with all the guests.

[@chilibonze]

besides my OCD reaction to the carpet needing to be straightened....I"m enjoying this interview. I like the pace, and I like the casual sincerity. As I person who loves photographing people-I love the things that this video made me reflect upon and wonder about.

[@LonzosStudios]

Hey canon since we buddies now, I have an event next week it's a 3 camera shoot...I have a C500 II, C70 and a FS7 II, can you loan me a C** camera...God I hate to have to use that nasty Sony, I have to sanitize my hands every time I touch it...😒😒
