Making photos.

[@PeterMcKinnon]

If you could MAKE a photo of anything, in any location, what would you do?

[@McBrwonFilms]

Would photograph an abandoned building with lights inside and creepers outside.

[@M.nallyphotography]

@PeterMcKinnon an apocalyptic style of TRON, where the video game has become reality and smashed our idea of what we think is normal and thrown us into a Mad Max style civilization, but with more modern tech. I can just see a beat up, rusted, light-cycle in the middle of the desert with a rider barely clinging on in a tattered riding suite trying to face the open abyss chasing down the remains of a color trail from another bike.

[@jameslindie5137]

@@PeterMcKinnon I’d love to one day attempt to make photos of some of my favorite video game scenes. Growing up with arguably some of the best games of all time, and THEN being able to attempt to capture those masterpieces in person would be exhilarating.

[@jager-fett]

Something to do with ninjas........ Damn dude, you and Matt are so inspiring. Thank you for this and all the inspiration!

Doesn't have too much to be satisfied. A nice car like a Ferrari, in the garden of a castle with a girl in a really nice dress.

[@ak_hoops]

Yea that’s beyond thoughtful honestly

[@graysonking6093]

Ever since you first told us about this a few videos back, I have been on a mission to Make Photos vs Take Photos, and it has been sooo rewarding! Thanks for getting me out of a rut, Pete!🏴‍☠️

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Haha it's literally something I always keep in mind now. I write it down in every new notebook I start on the second page :)

[@ak_hoops]

That part

[@rhimiles]

@@PeterMcKinnon What's on the first page?

[@PaulaHeartland]

Wow. What an experience. He trusts his idea, how ever long it took to curate it in his mind, in images, and then bam, bam, bam done. I imagine his experiences brought trust that first moment of capture usually the best. I remember when I was acting in film, it was always the first, or maybe second take that was the best. Not one 10-30 times after. Something to really ponder as a life lesson. Thanks for showing this, Pete.

[@brauer87]

I just LOVE how you and your work evolve and that you have the courage to let amazing things have had it's place in time. You're not an influencer Pete, you're inspiration.

[@janetikkuri7689]

PLEASE more of this! This was so inspiring and made me excited to shoot again. My photography is also like this going to abandoned places and having a story behind it. Due to health problems I had to stop my photography and now seeing this video made me so happy and excited to start again. Matt Barns creative mind is amazing. Thank You. : )

[@dt2ten]

As sports creative I've been searching for more lately that doesn't involve a ball or jersey. Seeing you with Matt has motivated me to shine light on my fellow creatives, weather it be street photographers, tattoo artist or musicians. Thank for this Peter this was beautiful and sacred at the same damn time.

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Love to hear it! best of luck! Thanks for giving the time to watch!

[@SimonWiffen]

The fraction of a second in this where someone was nailing a raw chicken to the wall is the highlight of my day so far, thank you

[@jameslindie5137]

Always so inspiring to see you in action, Peter! Another great video in the books

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Than you very much! :)

[@sawtanang]

It’s been so good to watch your videos again. About 4 years ago I got into photography with a Fuji XT3 and fell in love with everything about it photos and video. I had to sell all of the equipment because I had car troubles during Covid. I gained so much knowledge from your videos that I always wanted to buy a Nomadic camera bag as show of gratitude. Plus they look the best. I’m pleased to say I’m almost at the point where I’ll need that bag as I’m getting back into it, this time going for a Canon R3 set up. Keep up the good work, you are truly inspiring.

[@TrueNorthLens]

This has become an absolute must for me. Making over taking has given me another set of eyes so to speak leaving me looking at everything wondering what I could create out of it

[@camerasutra247]

I’ve tried to push this concept on my channel for a long time. I think a lot of people blush over it but it’s very important. I’m glad someone like yourself is doing this with a much greater reach. Most people think they can get away with natural light and everything that they do however, photography is not about just one type of light. It’s about the best light. What you showcase here was a perfectly set up scene which took sometimes to put together, but when the time came to take the photograph , you all were done in a blink of an eye. Thank you again and hopefully one day a small channels can make a difference in the same way that you are today.

[@geoffreykamau8056]

Thanks It's actually inspiring and encouraging to see a pro enjoy his craft. I have actually learnt the difference between making and taking a photo

[@radovanandjelic954]

There are times witch are rare to see in life. Pure emotion and bliss. While you where laying down with him you could see it in his eyes and you could hear it in his voice. He was really in love with the photo he made... God damn!!! well done really

[@michaelheliker2835]

That is such a different perspective from what I usually shoot (events...)... I love love love that setup/planning phase... and how quickly it wrapped up with "less than a minute"... so cool...

[@PatrickHanson1]

I was going to rewatch this, then I saw it was gone. Very glad it has been re-uploaded! more content like this

[@kylehuntxr]

Such a simple sentence really has shifted my perspective 10x more than any tutorial or piece of insight has. I’ll keep taking photos but making them is so much more fascinating to me now and I am dialed in on that

[@mikeuptonphoto]

I can’t imagine walking away. I have such a hard time leaving shoots. If I had an eternal golden hour and an infinite memory card, I’d never stop. What a cool video, man. Love ya.

[@sooyster4033]

Thanks as always for continuing to propagate creativity Peter!

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Doing my best! haha thanks for watching!

[@samanthaford2656]

To tag along for BTS photos on a photo mission with you would be one for the bucket shots for sure. 📸you’ve been my biggest inspiration for a long time!

[@tylerdrickenbach]

Wow! This is the most insane setup I’ve ever seen. Way to go Matt, and also Pete for capturing this. Just wow.

[@artfluentes]

Wow ... Amazing ... Wow ... Thank you, Peter! This video is such a gift and truly inspiring. Thank you so much. Just what I needed right now. All the best to you and your team and everyone who benefits from this video!

[@CharlieNaebeck]

Matt has a great point about making things inside of you. Thanks to you both for a solid reminder. 👍🏻

[@a12t]

My old band was told to go a studio somewhere in Toronto to shoot something for a show called 'disband'. During breaks we walked around and I noticed these amazing portraits, some were of large groups of people. All of them were styled and coloured and exposed so beautifully and creatively and I remember thinking WHo the WHAt the F*ck, how did you capture this???? So epic! It opened my mind further to what photographs could be. We were in Matt Barnes' studio.

[@citiestoash]

Matt Barnes is a beast. Love seeing him again on the channel

[@PeterMcKinnon]

He really is. Every time we hang out I leave absolutely stoked.

[@jordanvphotography]

Love it!!! My professor in college would’ve loved this guy during our “constructed reality” project

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Haha mat barnes IS the professor. Dudes a beast

[@macko4l]

Wow. As somebody who prefers landscapes over people. This whole creating a shot is almost like photo-manipulation in Photoshop... Just without the photoshop. And it's real life. Absolutely beautiful work and honestly very inspiring.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, for introducing this individual to me! This is so how I love to create how I WANT to create as a photographer! Being a photographer is only a part of what I want to be as an artist! So I say again... Merci Beaucoup! I also want to thank you for something you said about having someone you can look up to, so you can have something to aspire to, needed to hear it said that way as I do have someone like that for me (a few actually) but I am always afraid I will come off as copying her. I just want to have something to work towards. Just as an FYI you are one of those people for me as well!

[@simonericbrauner]

Great video! I like the fact that you could approach photography from so many different perspectives. I also like taking pictures, as in documentary photography, more for myself. I don't have THE picture I would want to make, but I guess it would be a good exercise. I'm planning 3 short photo documentaries for applying to a university now, and I feel like thinking about pictures to take is similar to imagining a picture I would love to make. Thanks, Pete, for keeping the motivation and fire for photography alive.
