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.

[@matthewhogue67]

Ah yes coffee and film- welcome to Peter McKinnon

[@SteveJobIess]

Slow-mo coffee intro - welcome to 2015

[@kingmuhu]

So true​@@SteveJobIess

[@bdunstansmith]

Like the new series concept.

[@stefaan95]

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

[@DavidStarkie]

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

[@ineedworld]

Same feel

[@DavidStarkie]

It was worth the wait!

[@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

[@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 🤙

[@ylliselmani715]

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

[@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🙂

[@iidabigman]

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

[@MountainVibes]

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

[@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!

[@mclaughkevin]

Two book suggestions: number one “There And Back: photographs from the edge” by Jimmy chin. Number two: “Shade: a tale of two presidents” by Pete Souza

[@ValiGreceanu]

Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite Actor and now one of my favorite 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.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

I CAN JUST NEVER GET HERE FIRST 🤣💕

[@Stallzyx]

unexpected early comment wow

[@dertythegrower]

A professional watch girl.. that is a new one. And confirmed. Cheers

[@StephenDavisMonsignor]

LOL at your comment.. looked at your channel and subbed. Going to share with my older daughter. She is nearly 20 and taking an interest in mechanical watches (just like her Dad.. LOL).. she is learning the ropes, as it were, and really enjoying the mechanical experience!

[@fuzzyslipperz8]

Finally a book club for photographers!

[@cphothographyandgaming]

if you ever make a photo book, please please please PLEASE, don't make it a limited drop, I'm 15 in the middle of highschool, and you are by far my favorite photographer. the reason why I am saying please not to make it a limited drop, it is... tough for me to get ahold of the limited drops that you do (I think I speak for more than just myself when that is said), and I wish that I could've gotten each and every one of them. But the photobook would absolutely be the one that id be saddest about if I missed out on it. So, back to my original point, PLEASE don't make it limited edition, and once again I think I speak for more than just myself when I say that. :) P.S. (am loving the new series, already I'm going to have to try to get my hands on this photobook too! great vid!)

[@_joefilms_]

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

[@blakescrossing]

I only discovered Jeff was a photographer a few weeks ago. His website is AMAZING.

[@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!

[@polycarpthedirector]

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

[@jerrygault6860]

The Creative Fight and Authentic Portraits by Chris Orwig

[@ElvieShaneMusic]

I was like… he seen the same damn TikTok I did.

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

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

[@MakeSomething]

Ferrari Scuderia 2025!

[@Kuba-ew7bb]

perfect video for lunch...

[@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.

[@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 !!!

[@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

[@ayush_singhhh__]

great video really enjoyed and learned a lot

[@EdZissou]

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

[@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 🤩

[@sbai4319]

I love photo books. Take Robert Franks “The Americans” ,Seydou Keita “Photographs Bamako Mali”, Ansel Adams Ansel Adams in Colour” Horst Harman “ Paris Vertical “ & “New York Vertical”just to name a few!

[@StephenDeLosRios]

Every frame is delicious

[@TriplePinesStudios]

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

[@PhillipSkraba]

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

[@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!

[@sehemunzuri]

Got some much needed inspiration from this video.

[@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!"

[@TyeMorrisVlog]

Jeff Bridges is pretty awesome. Check out “The Dude and the Zen Master” he co-authored with Bernie Glassman

[@RamPrism]

First picture I ever took was on my dad's Canon film camera. It took about a week to develope. He passed away 2 years ago, and not the camera moved to me. Still one of my best memories with my dad.

[@mikymailtest]

bro I m from ethiopia you drink ethiopian coffee 😲 this very interesting

[@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.

[@mikehenkelman2111]

Peter RockinLikeDocken McKinnen....Friggin love this guys vibes. I bet he smells like coffee, aftershave, and winning.

[@kevanray]

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

[@500gtsnake]

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

[@mrfelface]

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

[@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.

[@ericmyrephoto]

That was freaking cool! Keep it up!!

[@Zakkiss]

Very cool format of video! ;) Give us more! ;)

[@madushankadissanayake7469]

Thanks for sharing pete🥰❤

[@SithRVNT]

Great video. Absolutely itching for your book.

[@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.

[@BelindaFarage]

Watching a photo appear like magic in the dark room - ah man - it's like falling in love over and over again.

[@fluffycast92]

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

[@theGaryRuddell]

Geoff also has a great podcast called Sleep Tapes. It's amazing.

[@MarkAlderson]

Nice! I have several photo books, great video!

[@shanebegani7280]

All those in favour of Peter creating his own photobook say "aye"!🥰

[@Gaij1n07]

Aye

[@michelledickie1312]

Love this idea….keep it coming. 😊

[@westr70]

Great introduction to a new series. Adventures Await.

[@kirorimacharia8906]

You should do a video with Tatiana Hopper

[@ak_hoops]

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

[@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

[@martinanidjar]

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

[@kylemckenna]

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

[@missuma6822]

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

[@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

[@Paul_Greenwood]

Crazy good book! ❤ this format for a video, I’ve been missing the joys of books, mostly graphic design books but Jeff’s book look like a banger! Thanks for the inspiration Peter, and yeah, it kinda looks weird but if you dig it, who cares right! ☕️ 👍🏻

[@polycarpthedirector]

Early commenter finally 🕺🏾

[@robbiedeville]

[@Shivam-yl4pc]

[@Dedseq]

[@wolvesonfire1]

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

[@Arecorrerelmundo]

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

[@DominicArpin]

Love this new series!

[@ericli6114]

PHOTOGRAPHY and COFFEE, I love both！

[@nicolesworld5204]

Thank you for not wearing a straight billed ball cap... whew... I'm a 90's kid... you curve the bill.

[@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!

[@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.

[@trail.squatch]

Dude, the Ford hat. Rad!

[@thebikeracer]

Digging this! Digging the short hair....but the hat...no...you do not square off the bill unless you live in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi and one of those truck mudding events....

[@nick_a_pagan]

Photobooks are magical

[@maximilianogenes]

Wow! Love this man! Jeff is amazing!

[@ScottWBaker]

Robert Frank THE AMERICANS, the very headwaters of all street Photography!

[@jerrym8140]

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

[@Levashanks]

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

[@JoeysPirateLife]

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 💎😱

[@noelcannon1234]

Great content. Went looking for the book immediately on Amazon. Found it for $199!!!! Yikes!!!

[@kylex221]

Does anyone else think the audio is too...over perfect? Not exactly sure how to describe it but it seems not so natural. Idk, maybe its just because I'm wearing headphones 🤷🏽‍♂

[@PhilSledge]

Hi Pete, just wondering if you have any photography books of yours which I could buy?

[@tmideas9015]

The conventional editing process says that you show what you are talking about, but you are showing the coffee-making process as you talk about some old photos! why?🤨🤨🤨

[@zepolmali]

HEY! How great is this video, help me a lot in my youtube channel and my personal life, thank u for this video

[@aaronedgeart]

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

[@VozMadridista]

Great initiative. Can’t wait for next book analysis

[@g_usa_ca]

Hello Kyushu-Goodbye Kyushu from Samuel Lintsro Hopf and Alex Muñoz

[@EdZissou]

Try to interview Jeff Bridges, that would be an incredible evolution for your channel! I bet his insights about the book and photography are mind blowing 🤯!
