I Can't Believe I Did This to Peter McKinnon.

[@covincolaco]

A photo battle with Peter McKinnon and the boys would be beyond amazing 😩

[@FinalCutVideography]

Yesssss

[@AzanAli-yp1ox]

So true

[@Kjbiene]

would love to see this bruh

[@Aman_Visualss]

hell yaaaaaaaaaaaaa. yesssssssss

[@superartur104]

Let's all tag Pete so he can see this! :D

[@pants912]

Good for you man. My shyness and anxiety holds me back in my photography more than I admit. This is a great video

[@_jfs2000_]

I relate to this too much haha

[@justinhickox]

Bro, I obviously don't know you, but I do know Joseph. He mentioned meeting Peter when you guys were there. There was SO much in this video that I could resonate with. Such a well put together story here man. Well done and congrats on meeting Mr. Inspiration.

[@3twelves]

The fact that you are able to reflect and learn from your past, shows insurmountable growth. Good on ya. Keep doing what you do FOR you and you will always be happy. I strongly believe that if you do what you love and happen to get paid for it, you will never work a day in your life. If you are ever in OC again, I would love to meet up and maybe do a Photo Battle. Cheers.

[@FischtankProductions]

Congrats bro. Even though my content is not related to you or peters content, You guys have still inspired me in so many ways. KEEP KILLIN IT.

[@mreflow]

Great video! KZbin kept recommending this video to me and when I finally watched it, I realized you guys were literally sitting directly next to me in the Peter McKinnon panel. I actually heard some of this unfolding in real life. LOL

[@FernwehChronicles]

Mate, thanks for sharing part of your story. Stay inspired! 🤘🏻

[@ZdenkaDarula]

It is very nice to see the moment you met your idol.. you looked very humble in that moment... it is nice to have people to look up for sure. As we grow older and experience more, many of these things change and we see all these people around us differently. It is part of life and it is normal. Enjoy the moments you are going through right now..... loved seeing it... it was very raw.

[@mackenziemill]

what a powerful story, message! Thank you so much. I battled cancer and WON. I lost my breast, my lymph nodes, my tummy, my hair BUT most of all I lost my confidence, my identity! I am now an accountability coach for CJS. I love it and found my confidence again xoxo 💜

[@Bigchi3f]

This is one of the times where meeting your heroes is the best. Both of you inspired me to create since high school. I’m a whole working adult now and love escaping to the mountains with my camera. And it’s all thanks to Hayden and Peter my heroes I hope I get to meet too one day thank bro.

[@nandarmgmg14]

What a story man! Appreciate both of you for inspiring us and contributing the community.

[@v1ctor.]

I really needed this video right now, I was feeling very disappointed in myself and i was very much demotivated, I was lucky enough to talk with Hayden, and liam once through an Insta live and i was super hyped, It was about 3 or 4 years ago, You guys actually inspire me and help me to keep my love for photography, i dont have a camera , and its been 6 years, since i took my first couple of pictures using a friends camera, and ever since i have been following the Photography world, i dont know how it is going to work, but i have been constantly learning about photography, videography related things through youtube, THANK YOU so much for your contributions guys, I have been following both Hayden and peter for a long time and im very happy to see that you guys finally met, Hope that one day i will be able to meet you guys too, 😇😇

[@ChrisJeanninOfficial]

This is awesome to hear. Keep watching man! Hayden’s great. If you want to get a camera, I would find someone in your family or within your friends that would be willing to pay you to say, film a wedding, by buying you the camera. I started with a Canon T7i this way and I highly recommend it as a beginner camera.

[@khengteoh4318]

Hope you manage to get a camera one day bro !

[@v1ctor.]

Thanks for the suggestions man, I will buy a decent camera soon, i have some plans for the future and i hope it will work, but first i need to get a decent job so they i can buy a camera with my own money. I saved up enough to buy a decent camera but at that time my brother really wanted a laptop so instead of buying me a camera i bought him a Laptop 🙂

[@v1ctor.]

@@khengteoh4318 Thanks mahn,😇

[@sauravus]

WOW! So happy for you Haydos. It's my dream to meet you both one day

[@bruhdabones]

Hayden-you, 7th and North got me into photography. I found Peter *after* you guys by some quirk of the algorithm in 2019. I’m still rocking my cheap Panasonic G7 almost 4 years later and I have to say, it’s a beautiful entry level camera. Lenses make a huge difference, but nothing is more important than learning how to adapt to difficult shooting environments. Keep it up!

[@ooyy]

Ahhh you're the legend buddy!! the king of storytelling!! ✨

[@ChrisJeanninOfficial]

Dude, what a dream. I’ve been subbed to both you and peter for a long time. I started watching peter when I first started photography and I watched every single one of his videos and continued doing that until today. Funny enough, the same went for you Hayden. The day I found your channel, I went to the beginning and watched all your content. You’ve grown a lot, you’ve changed a lot, but most of all, you’ve helped others grow and change into people they would never have been without a little cheeky guidance from ol’ Hayden. I say this was a dream because I’ve always wanted to meet Peter, but meeting both of you in the same place would be bonkers 😂

[@WestonWoodfin]

Both absolute legends. Thank you both for all you have done for the community.

[@christofeemedia1790]

Bro! This story telling is lit! Good to see you guys being so humble towards each other! Would be keen to see the results if he ever does a photo battle! Anyway love the content brother! Great to see you having fun!✊

[@kevin-haggerty]

Brother finding yourself is probably the most rewarding feeling ever. All of the rest is just a byproduct of who you are and what you deliver to the world around you. Keep inspiring people you’re doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing. Great vlog dude 🫶🏼

[@Opticalwander]

Definitely needed to hear this! I’m glad you finally got the chance to speak with him and apologise ❤️ Looks like the U.S definitely has a better ecosystem for creators to connect and grow together. One thing I’ve struggled with is finding people to work with / connect with and make videos with. So I really appreciate the time we spent together in Aus. Means a lot ❤️

[@Ducanralf]

The only reason i watch your videos is your authenticity Hayden , greetings from Russia 🇷🇺!

[@loncinful]

This gave me the chills. Awesome stuff, glad you’re in a better a better state now? I’ve just gone back to enjoy all your old videos as I just chanced upon your channel. Hope you’re doing well! Keep it up man!

[@bohdanlee]

Haha couldn't stop smiling when you met Peter, so happy for you Hayden!

[@MarinaMouraPhotography]

This is very sweet. I related so much to this video. It reminds me of when I met you guys in NYC. WHAT A MOMENT in my life that was. I was in ecstasy for the rest of that trip. You guys were literally my one source of entertainment during covid, i’d go for long drives and listen to your podcast, I’d come back home and stay up all night watching your videos, and would repeatedly tell myself, go out there Marina! go create! the world is so big and we’re often so stuck in our little bubbles. but you guys (you and the boys) helped me get out there and celebrate photography, celebrate the one thing that connect us. isn’t that so beautiful?! Thank you Hayden for that ❤️✨ i know sometimes it may not seem like much but we’re all here with you 💖 and we’re excited to see you grow as a creator and a human (: thank you for everything!!

[@itscharlesmackenzie]

I've never related to a message more in my life. This is an unbelievably raw and real look into how life actually is. Especially for creators. I love you, thanks for sharing this!

[@ScottyGibsonn]

never really comment on youtube but massive kudos to you. takes courage + integrity + humility to own up like you did. really inspiring.

[@adreaminfocus]

I’ll just never not stop by and give you love Hayden. I’m old enough to be your mum, but you are an enormous help to me on my photography and videography journey. I’m finally going to put out my first video on KZbin. (Well I have lots, but I’m stopping using it for my old business). People like yourself and Faye, Arfa, northbordes and Peter are putting in your reps… I love you guts for it ❤❤

[@JoanAvilez]

What a journey the 2018-2019 era feels like it was just yesterday

[@khengteoh4318]

The energy in your videos always gets me inspired bro, cheers for infecting everyone with your enthusiasm!

[@dansearle7024]

This is awesome man. Congrats on meeting your idol brother, this video is inspiring me again!! LEGEND!!

[@TheoTrujillo]

this was so awesome!! pete really does live up to the hype!! like you said he really knows who he is and knows how to handle the fame!! but so you do you my guy!!! both are legends in my book!!!

[@Voiceguy66]

Love this vid. I get inspired by you and Peter. At 57 years of age, photography has become such a deep passion for me and even an income generator. So thank you for what you do and keep up the great work!

[@myk3al1]

great to see you doing feeling better mate, have come a long way, so sick you met peter, hope you got to spend morre time with him.

[@morocreates]

its crazy to me that the first time I probably heard of PM was on your PM b-roll challenge video. I know you think the world of Peter but some of knew you before him. Keep up the grind brother!

[@Died1209]

Wow! Amazing, so happy for you how that turned out! Got chills when you were speaking to him. Thanks for thanking him for us! haha

[@ReviveTheWildy]

I will say this. You are very self aware, and it’s great to see with an audience you sharing personal growth, and it being ok to have mental issues. It shows people you’re not alone. On another note, contrary to the video, you have been an inspiration to me, and not always just after “fame.” I sent you a photo on ig under my photography handle(no shameless plug) and you being someone I looked up to, commented back, not with words, but a video. It was that video that solidified my hopes and dreams. It psyched me out, the man I watch progress, gave a fuck about replying to a nobody. I am from a small town, there’s challenges everywhere, but that night, u chose that reply, and let me tell you it was impactful, and showed your true humbling colors. So don’t be too hard on yourself. Thanks for being an inspiration, thanks for replying to my lightning photo, and being a (small town no subscribers, tiny amounts of followers, guy) I’d still love to meet you, collaborate, and just take some photos. You Sir are a good man. Never forget your worth, and impact on others even when it’s hard to see some days.

[@erickcruzm.24]

This is great. Glad you got to meet Peter. Nice vid man. Keep creating.

[@JoshKeogh]

That made me smile so much when you met Peter and he was super chill with you like you had met many times before - it’s funny how sometimes we put people on a pedestal because we look up to them so much when in reality they are probably just like us. Happy for you bro

[@Dabelle2018]

I love you bro, you were one of my biggest inspirations in photography 👐🏽 I will for ever be grateful I saw ur posts and videos online & all the way from Nigeria, u kept inspiring me to create & push my limits in photography.

[@BasAbroad]

It’s nice to see the honesty is this video. What a great story 🙏🏽

[@JamieFenn]

Legend meets legend. Great video man 💪🏽

[@differentkim]

Thank you for this message. Imagine the shift as people lead with the heart. Good on you.

[@CrossfireTV]

Congrats Hayden. You and Peter both inspire me everyday to take the best photos I possibly can

[@adam.foster]

Great inspiring video Hayden. As an inspiring creator, it's great to see your gains and a pivotal moment like meeting a legend like Peter. I'd love to be in your shoes one day, but I just can't bring myself to dive into the pool.... just yet, maybe one day that will change. Keep up the good work mate!

[@akusinemabanget]

Throughout the video, bro i feel your happiness. Your spirit is just wild. You guys are trully my inspirations of doing photography. Even the photo battle videos is what making me doing street photography and make me more confident to sociallize with others. Cheers!

[@laurenlabella23]

NAILED it with his video. Awesome to see how much you've grown and matured as a human being and a content creator.

[@MontiPyro]

You should be proud mate, its so nice to see a fellow aussie rise and compete at this level that seems so distant nd far away. Gives heaps of inspiration to me to see how far you have come and the demons you have battled to get here!

[@jiltedfpv7661]

Fuck... what a nice guy he is! Glad you got a chance to meet him. Good luck with the mental health, dude. ✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@brotherpolo]

This was so dope bro! Love the story is learning this whole side of your along with your journey!

[@cbmilne]

Keep doing what you are doing Hayden. Since the re-start of things for you I actually find your content is more wholesome and grounding than it was before and you are looking and life from a whole different perspective. Its great to see. Keep growing.

[@ckcreativestudios]

bro what a moment! So happy you got to meet him man that was a seriously good vid! Well done haydos

[@cloughdog]

So happy for you, this is awesome!

[@Lima_Beanss8]

Your vibe and videos always inspire and make me smile. Much love man

[@berniebarac]

Dude that's so awesome man. Meeting Peter has been one of my goals from day one also... for the exact same reasons man. He's inspired me so much right from when I got into photography. And you personally, your enthusiasm and sense of humor is so good to watch and see. Having a lot of 'down and dark' moments myself, seeing you go through what you did / do and watching you share your story and bounce back and seeing you continue to be present is more inspiring than you know Hayden, so thank you. If you're ever in Houston TX I'd love to just meet up, hang out for a bit and do some collab stuff if you'd want to. Keep up the awesome work dude.

[@TaavP]

I so happy for you Hayden! Now time to just be you creating the content you like, people like to see that authentic side

[@TuckerScott]

Man I have been subscribed to you since the beginning. You and him are my biggest inspiration. Keep killing it.

[@TrueNorthLens]

The authenticity of your content is inspirational. You have a way with portraying your journey and relating to your followers on a personal level. Thank you for continuing to push out incredible content!

[@jordanmcwilliams5993]

Glad to see you smiling again man, i remember the October photowalk in Toronto was a highlight for myself and my wife pushing me out of me comfort zone and to get out there and connect to people, now i have a good friend base to connect with and share photography with. One of these days i would love to meet peter as well but the more ironic thing to me is that i met you and the boys first from across the world and i have seen peter yet and i live 5 minutes away from his office / store lol keep up the great content Hayden and look forward to your next videos. keep that smile going bro !

[@TylerBrinkworthPhotography]

The photography community around the world is CRAZY and its all love at the end of the day, I hope one day to meet you of course but till then we will all continue on our creative journeys

[@versacekami20]

I’ve been watching you since you had 75k subs and I’m so happy with how far you’ve come. Love you man!

[@darrell22j]

Bro, love that for you! This video is truly inspiring. Can’t wait to see what’s next for the both of you. Thanks for posting this man, this just got me wanting to push even more.

[@МихаелаЖечева-ш4х]

Hi Hayden! Great video! I'm glad you're back on KZbin again :) It looks like you're well and full with creative ideas for new projects 🎬 I have been watched all your videos on the channel 😊Love the photo battle videos 📸 Peter McKinnon, you, Mike (North Borders) and Liam (7th Era) were my inspiration to start photography. Watching each of your videos with the excitement with which you discussed your ideas, watching the whole process until you capture what you planned, the emotions you felt inspired me to take the camera too. I rejoiced with you in every video. Seeing artists like you and Peter McKinnon who are so enthusiastic about making quality videos and put so much effort to make the video look good it motivates me even more. I also started my KZbin channel over a year ago, but it's not for photography things. At the moment, my knowledge of photography and videography is a drop in the ocean, but that doesn't matter. The important thing is that I am happy and enjoy every new thing that I learn. Sorry for the long comment, I hope it's not cringe 🤣and it is correctly writtend (I used Google translate) but I just wanted to thank you and tell you like you told to Peter that you inspiring me with your work! I wish you success, don't stop being creative and positive! I would love to meet you one day! Greatings from Bulgaria!

[@yoshimertens]

Such an honest video man! I don't think you should have felt that bad for 'spamming' him. This world is so hard and I've been searching and finding my niche in the youtube/photo and videography world as well, but it's not taking off at all. I've had some ups and downs, but lately, there's been more downs regarding people watching and interacting with my content on either KZbin/Instagram. Your energy and content has always been a motivation, as well as the fact that I simply love to do whatever I like and don't care for too much about what others think. Keep it up mate!

[@xfeetjeuuux]

Incredibly fantastic Hayden! Your the best❤ I did a school assignment about you because you inspired me so much 😊

[@FutureBoostedMedia]

Another goal checked off the list bro congrats. That’s so awesome to see

[@graemekuli]

Amongst all the videos you've made over the years, this one has had the best meaning and hit home. ❤ Be real.

[@rvfamilylife]

This brought a tear to my eyes. I'm happy for you bro.

[@abhranildhar8193]

You and Peter were the first people who popped up on KZbin when I was getting into photography. You guys inspired the sh*t out of me. I owe a lot to you guys for being the best teachers

[@fadmphotography9222]

I have to say, this was one of the best Videos o made for a long time, not photography or so but the message that you send out to the people here it is really important. Thank you for that

[@SopkaiZimik]

Hayden... absolutely loved it!! Getting goosebumps the whole time!! Thank you!!

[@ToldbyNick]

Warms my heart to see this ❤you and Peter have been massive inspirations to me since the beginning. So damn cool to not only see you meet him, but meet him at this stage of your life. It sounds like you've been on the right path after your break from KZbin. I hope you continue to find both happiness and success 💪 I'll be along for the journey.

[@jandippold684]

What a nice Story and Happy Ending! I think i could see your Brain exploding in the Moment you are finally talking to Pete!🤯😁 Hope you had a Blast on VidSummit!🥳

[@hellraidart]

Nothing better than seeing Hayden upload a video. I loved this video. So wholesome. Love it! Thank you for being an amazing inspiration!

[@Brock_in_the_North]

That was heartfelt and true you can just tell. Well done man. Hi from the 🇬🇧 you reaching far and wide so that in itself is a goal. Think about it. People 1000s of miles away know you exist. How crazy is that. For me, that would be the measure rather than the numbers and stuff. Keep it up man. It's a good pace your working at now.

[@markygeenius]

Crazy how that I got the photography bug years ago a d the first people I found when i searched photography on youtube was north borders, you and then Peter mcinnon and ive watched all of your videos since. I'm 49 years old and you guys inspire me!

[@ONE3MEDIA]

I was getting a little bit nervous for you on the build up to meeting him 🤣 But this is something i really needed to watch ... thank you

[@Alphain]

What an amazing moment!! Glad you finally met him!! So happy for you bro

[@MihaiiPop]

I feel the same way bro. If I collab with other creators it’s because we want to and it’s not about the views or likes or followers or…etc. Take care and keep creating✌️

[@spaccius]

Dreams do come true! Congrats man!

[@LeeFleetCruiseDirector]

What a great message and turning point in this journey. It was really humbling to see you get to finally meet Peter and how your reflection has served you. But dont lose sight that you to many are right up there.... you are someone's Peter McKinnon. Keep going!

[@jatinsync3820]

Its really nice to see legends in 1 frame Great video💥💥

[@TimtimPlaysMinecraft]

The hole photography community is amazing.. Seriously you and Peter are beautiful people if that's the right word to use😂❤

[@Jonathanology]

Hey Hayden Such a great video mannn I was watching this whole vid with a smile on my face. Keep making awesome content like you have always made buddy From a big fan !

[@itsmeobito6385]

Actually, both of you are inspiring. I knew Peter before getting to know you, Hayden. But when I watch both of you, I feel the same energy because you guys share a common passion and love for photography and filmmaking. Cheers, guys! 🤍

[@clvolt]

Such an encouraging and uplifting video bro! Both you and Pete are so inspiring and thank for the realism of life in your videos!

[@jonathanvu5370]

You got this brotha! I remember you telling me the McKinnon story back in 2019. Congrats on your growth and your resolution with THE MANN!! Insane my guy!

[@RealLifewithAdrianRuth]

Hey man I was sitting right next to you at this event. Glad you got to meet him. I also got to meet him and get a pic

[@qwaydon]

This video was needed, I was looking for the drive to continue on the journey

[@tristoni9165]

So wholesome 🥺🫶🏻

[@nicolaburbidge]

We're so thankful for you showing up on here and delivering epic and inspiring content. Thankyou!

[@JosephGarcia]

Honored to be a part of this bro. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@reynaalright]

this was so simple & emotional, would love to see a collab

[@ReflectAmbience]

Hayden just got me hyped! Photography and videography is so tiring. People like Hayden and Mike(North) and Peter help to keep me motivated and inspired to keep doing what makes me happy. I also had to honor of goal king to Hayden on the Manhattan bridge in NYC. He gave me the best advice. He was a Peter to me. Hopefully one day we will collab and be at event together. Till then stay cool boys! Keep shooting cool things and do it for you and people it can impact! ✌️

[@DKShoots.]

Are you kidding me... This video was fantastic. What an overall great story message and meaning 👏👏👏👏 well done fellow creators! 👍 My guy

[@mdpworld4111]

Definitely, peter was the first guy they got me hooked back into filming and photography from his slow motion speed ramps and his buttery random talks.

[@yourlegacyfilmmaker]

Wow man. I just watched your video and I feel the same way. I’m growing but it’s so lonely. And not enough people have the same long term plan as I do. So if you ever did wanna just talk shop my inboxes are always opened. Keep up the good work 👊🏼

[@TonyC0101]

Far too often, we are a hero in many people's eyes but our own.

[@joshreimer5090]

After watching this I feel infinitely less crazy for how much effort I put in to get to meet you. 🤣 So glad you got to meet Peter! Cheers brotha! ❤

[@VinceHalvorson]

You're a class act Hayden, Respect.

[@DannysDesigns]

Damn you Hayden! You made me in my feels. I miss the good ol days creating with a group of friends. I need to find that again. Keep doing your thing my man! - DannysVisuals
