How to tell a STORY with Photography

[@PeterMcKinnon]

What photo book do you want me to go over next?!

[@Tinaleann_]

Anything by ansel adams, black and white photos are my faves.

[@PhillipSkraba]

One of my favourites: Gregory Crewdson - Twilight.

[@p.kmations]

Hey Pete, Great Video, any idea how I can get the company of the hat you're wearing, I really like its style and texture, am in a process to open my own hat business here in Kenya and your info will really be appreciated

[@trashpanther2296]

Any of David Yarrow’s books.

[@mikehenkelman2111]

Stephen Shore: Uncommon Places. In 1973 Stephen headed out on the road alone in his car with his plate camera in the trunk and just started shooting random places on the road for weeks. He then did it each year from 1973-1981, the results are uncommon places. The book is rad af.

Before images were splattered over the Internet, I would crave rock magazines, photo mags, and National Geographic. I'd read the stories, but, the great joy was the images. Looking over the photographs multiple times as if I had not noticed something within. That's all lost now. Swiping and turning pages are entirely different. Great episode. Please keep 'em coming!

[@sundaynightdrunk]

Rock magazines had some fantastic photography. I remember carefully cutting out pages to hang on my wall using loops of scotch tape back in the '70s. I'd love to have some of those shots now, to frame and hang again.

[@NoOverhead]

Same! How do we get back to that??!?

[@matthewhogue67]

Ah yes coffee and film- welcome to Peter McKinnon

[@SteveJobIess]

Slow-mo coffee intro - welcome to 2015

[@kingmuhu]

So true​@@SteveJobIess

[@stefaan95]

This is what photography is about! Story telling, sharing, and just being fun and making something cool.

[@ThatCarpathianG]

Great photos man awesome book. I just stopped by to say that i was addicted to photography so much so that i burned out completely. So i took a break for like half a year, no photography, no watching videos about photography nothing at all, i went into fishing and videos to totally shift my attention from photography. And now i was like "hmm let's see what's up with Peter?" I watched your recent videos and i feel that spark in my heart for going out to create something again 💎😱

[@Howtogetfluent]

"Imagine just digging a hole and finding a new colour!" Sums up so much of your infectious enthusiasm on the channel across the years. Love the new series!

[@bdunstansmith]

Like the new series concept.

[@iidabigman]

This series is a guaranteed way to revive people making photo books. Can't wait!

[@juliansykes960]

Love this idea for a new series of videos! There are so many photographers from back in the day that you might not find on social media. And it’s a great way to view photography and read about photographers and their stories and attitudes about their art.

[@Levashanks]

Chasing Awe - Gavin Hardcastle - Huge fan since the one wheel Peter thx for all you have given & shared with the world...

[@itsmahdisadeghi]

As always this video has been done tastefully. Thank for bringing so much joy and excitement for these little things in our lives that we wouldn't have recognized if it were not for you

[@whoopwhoop_tm]

Follow you for a couple of years now on youtube, I never get tired of watching your little films, and listen to your stories. Thanks for that. Really helpful content and very very inspirational :)

[@largefamilyruralliving7434]

Love this, hearing the stories behind the image is what I like most about our camera club, and seeing photos from those that travel more than me. Jeff's book is georgous.

[@jillschindel2832]

Incredible. Absolutely love this idea for a series. And I am blown away by Jeff's photos.

[@jerrym8140]

It’s so fun listening to you. Very cool looking book and enjoyed how you presented it. Waiting for the next one now 👍

[@kevgoes]

Great! Great! You have such a sincerity about you when talking about this book amd the storytelling aspect of photos. Love it!

[@aaronedgeart]

Love this new series and you walking us through it... like CliffsNotes!

[@willisincphototography]

I love this!! We do coffee and cameras in my town every Monday! And we talk about projects and books we find!

[@StephenDavisMonsignor]

That sounds cool! Where’s your town..?

[@willisincphototography]

@@StephenDavisMonsignor hahahaha middle of nowhere Iowa lol

[@StephenDavisMonsignor]

@@willisincphototography ah - OK lol.. I'm in North Texas and think that would be a cool activity!

[@willisincphototography]

@@StephenDavisMonsignor we just had it yesterday! Normally we meet for like an hour but yesterday we made it 2ish hours playing in Lightroom and going over the soft white underbelly book

[@vasimania1]

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! Great idea for a series! Peter you are one of the best creators out there! Great energy, pacing, character, top notch quality and always worthwhile. I cannot understand how you can be so creative and also make videos as a host to your own creativity at the same time.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I like the warm lighting here. Cool look!

[@j.gravett2878]

As a kid growing up, my Dad had some big, heavy, thick books, full of pictures & cartoons. I remember sitting in a chair, leafing thru them, fascinated by the pictures!!! Love this new format! Reminds me of when life had more quality to it! Thanks!!!

[@Mr-Blitz]

such an amazing story Pete, thanks so much for sharing. Jeff truly brings the art of photography to life with the interesting compositions and unique angles. Funny enough Ive always loved wide angle composites for the same reason, as you get a unique feel and perspective of the photographer's vision. I started doing them in 2006/07 on film and would scan/merge the shots in PS. i even did a vertical pano of a rainy vancouver street with oak trees, on film!

[@anchovytrex]

Love this series lad, keep doing you and keep being you :D whatever that means But honestly your passion is unparalleled and quite effin contagious. Cheers to many more

[@ThatWorks]

Excellent as always! Inspiration comes from so many places and is essential for someone behind the camera! You sir, never fail to provide! Either directly from your work or by sharing what inspires you! Thank you! Truly! -Matt Stagmer

[@DrewPera]

You talking about film at the beginning got me so excited because my wife and I are diving into instant film photography now. It's so different than digital and so fun.

[@Cardiopatik]

Loving this, looking forward to see more! Happy to see Malta being mentioned 🇲🇹

[@wolvesonfire1]

I like this new series! gives me some 2018 PM vibe that I miss!

[@developingtank]

Yes, love to see you doing this!

[@MartinTabanag]

I really love this new series Peter!! So full of passion, energy and love for the art! Can’t wait for episode 2 and youe upcoming book as well

[@aaronm5149]

Love the new theme and fresh energy and inspiration that comes through

[@ak_hoops]

Okay, this is going to be a very dope and different series! I like

[@lindamacfarland8468]

What a great idea Peter! Over my years, I've seen just a few memorable photography books. I love that you're gonna introduce me to a few more!

[@jamesv.wilkerson30]

The square fold hat, coffee montage, and PPPPwhat'supppp!!!! Awesome!!!

[@jamesv.wilkerson30]

The square fold bill is from the 90's

[@AKsourdough]

Nice vid -I like this format! Also, I, too, dig the square bill.

[@doramilanovich6635]

This edition was pure nirvana! I am a fan of Jeff's work also, but never got my hands on the book itself. So thank you Peter! I really-really enjoyed this video, and keep them coming! 😊

[@TimChuon]

Aw man this definitely reminds me of the old days 🥹 what a fun episode Pete and Captain Kirk! 🎉

[@MartinTabanag]

😮 glad to see you here Tim! Huuuuuuge fan of you. Board gamer here as well 🤩

[@TriplePinesStudios]

Pete this is awesome! I love making photo books. It’s something about seeing your work in a physical form it’s magical.

[@aabbssaarrpthn]

Wow, its like we all have been waiting to see such videos which are so different and inspiring. Thanks Pete!

[@bornagainsurfer4936]

Loved this video. I’ve been on a social media and KZbin break. There wasn’t anything out there that got my attention, I was growing tired of all the people I normally watched. This is the first video I’ve watched on KZbin in a while and it gave me that feeling again. Inspired! Peter, you nailed it with this one. Loved it.

[@missuma6822]

Peter! The feeling seemed to find a new color, amazing words!

[@alexmestrephoto]

Love it! This new series is really awesome… Jeff Bridges Rocks!! Can’t wait for the next episode…

[@rene.rodriguez]

Love this new series. Thanks, man.

[@Jordan_Moore]

Great video! Look forward to more from this series! It looks like your old 1DXii in the back. Would love to you film a future video on your old workhorse, just for nostalgia sake!

[@_joefilms_]

Early gang! And I always the storytelling videos you produce. Amazing work as always

[@babykukla]

Yes! More Please. I am always inspired when I watch your videos . If I feel a down-and-out moment coming on I watch a pinch or two of P. McKinnon and I'm good to go for the rest of the day.

[@Tebanisomura]

How satisfying it must be to discover your passion at an early age and have enough time to mature and practice enough to perfect it, make it part of your life, I wish I could say the same about myself since I discovered my love for the beautiful art of photography very late.

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Late is better than never!

[@Tebanisomura]

@@PeterMcKinnon that's right My friend

[@ghillieghost4345]

This is going to be a great series, Peter! Thank you for doing this!

[@PhillipSkraba]

This is EXACTLY what I've been wanting to do with collection of photo books! Great stuff Pete 🔥

[@aidansomerville773]

That's some serious cap-peak game you got going on there Peter!!!! Love Jeff's photos also!! He's got a great eye.

[@michael14848]

This was awesome! Love the new series

[@fauland_photography]

I LOVE how much you l.o.v.e photo books - That's one of my obsessions ... :-) .... Am I getting the book?... Oh yesssss !!!

[@macfanguy]

Love the combination of your cinematography and your sharing what you learnt! ❤

[@MajorGamerGuy1]

This video series fills my heart and soul with so much joy and appreciation for the art ☺️

[@polycarpthedirector]

Dude, the work you put into every shot? Mad nice

[@maximilianogenes]

Wow! Love this man! Jeff is amazing!

[@Nawdasher]

Aw man this is awesome. Iv wanted this book for a while. Just haven’t got around to buying it. Love the new video idea 🤙

[@Just_Samson]

The VO was just stellar. Before I died I want to see Steven Rinella and PK in the same video. I can dream right. Appreciate you Peter.

[@vlogdobrunaum]

I haven't watched videos for many months and have been struggling with anxiety and depression. This video reminded me why I love photography so much, but I let the responsibilities of adult life take over everything. I'm going to dust off my Nikon and give it another chance; it might be the additional therapy I need. Thank you once again for your inspiring videos, as always. Hugs from Brazil.

Hey man, Stay strong and fight it , i had a similar problem years ago, and when i felt it creeping up , I either fought it or just went with it till it subsided.

[@vlogdobrunaum]

Thanks man!

[@kevanray]

This is so good. I need more of this in my life.

[@TheVasteras021]

What a great topic and a way to discover photography in a different way!! Dude you have so continue makes this series’s! So much inspiration.

[@kylemckenna]

Thanks for sharing, Pete! Exciting for your own photo book!

[@philsymons9614]

G'day Peter, crackin vid mate. Photography is a journey of storytelling. Thank you for allowing us all to follow yours.

[@Arecorrerelmundo]

I loved this! coffee and books 🙌🏼 Please do more!

[@Harald787]

Great new series, loving it.

[@mrfelface]

this is great, I never knew Jeff Bridges was a photographer as well!

[@cmbonfim]

Awsome addition to your playlists. I loved the storytelling.

[@ericli6114]

PHOTOGRAPHY and COFFEE, I love both！

[@SithRVNT]

Great video. Absolutely itching for your book.

[@DavidStarkie]

No I haven’t watched the whole thing yet, as I’m on my phone and feel this deserves the big TV 📺 ❤

[@ineed225]

Same feel

[@DavidStarkie]

It was worth the wait!

[@ValiGreceanu]

Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite Actor and now one of my favorite Photographers 😎👍📷

[@ericmyrephoto]

That was freaking cool! Keep it up!!

[@MikeDancy]

Fantastic video. I like the concept and enjoyed the content. It’s like a coffee table book about coffee tables that IS a coffee table itself.

[@infinitypanther]

You know it's funny I've seen a lot of his movies over the years but never knew he was a photographer. as for the shape of the bill of the hat I remember seeing that look from the late 70's and all through the 80's growing up🙂

[@fuzzyslipperz8]

Finally a book club for photographers!

[@seanmartinflix]

Weird thing to say to a big KZbinr but thanks for sharing. Really have enjoyed the direction of the channel lately not that I didn't enjoy it before but this episode was really inspiring and would have never known about Jeff Bridgett and his photography otherwise.

[@cwieka23pl]

PM rocking Cartier bracelet! Awesome!

[@PaulStrople]

Bro… do more of these PLEASE! I started in landscape photography, much like you. I’m now at a point in my photography career where I’m trying other genres in search of actual stories.

[@DonHamer]

Wow words can't describe how cool this file is! Great Job!

[@danielhenriquez4236]

YES! I love this series!

[@gianlucaricci8151]

This video is so great! Thank you Peter😉

[@CappuccinoLife]

Finally, so you can do this really nice video, again? Like in the past, thanks. Amazing work and video.

[@MountainVibes]

Really dig this concept! Looking forward to the next ones... Sidebar, can't see Red Bull inviting you back to F1 🤣

[@terryclark8745]

I used a Widelux for many years as a photojournalist and documentary photographer. I even got hired to shoot an annual report all with the Widelux. It's a remarkable tool in the right hands. I hope you will continue with the "Book Club!"

[@Rheis.C.Setter]

Love this new series!!!!

[@Oharasara_]

I want more of this!!! screw it, make this into an ACTUAL series because this is super enlightening and very useful when it comes to taking photos and creating ideas for a storytelling outcome

[@Dedseq]

the selfie was surreal! I gotta try that as well

[@wadette3708]

Yes!! Petes book club. Im here for it

[@martinanidjar]

'he was taking selfies in 1998...' that was great!

[@sehemunzuri]

Got some much needed inspiration from this video.

[@nagahatah]

I just love his "what's up" gesture always.

[@MarkAlderson]

Nice! I have several photo books, great video!

[@DominicArpin]

Love this new series!

[@Tmbrwlf32]

I super enjoyed this video and I'm looking forward to more episodes! Also, I'm low key envious of your ferrari mug :)

[@ylliselmani715]

great series concept!!! I recommend you do an episode on Gjon Mili's photography.

[@fluffycast92]

The color grade on Peter’s video 🤌 warm and bright. It’s beautiful

[@westr70]

Great introduction to a new series. Adventures Await.

[@EdZissou]

Had to buy it… Thanks for bringing this subject to our attention.

[@500gtsnake]

And Peter found out about things called books and has discovered that they are better than social media...... Great job. 👌🏻

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

As always it’s about access to get those special photos to help make an interesting book!

[@madushankadissanayake7469]

Thanks for sharing pete🥰❤
