Model training Pt 2

[@danielmuhlig7097]

These last two videos (Model training Pt 1 and 2) are the best on the subject I have ever seen on KZbin. They don't only explain WHAT to do, but really gives the insight into HOW and especially WHY. Thank. You. So. Much!

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Glad you like them Daniel, thanks so much for watching

[@Jameshhl]

I see now the big difference between a normal photographer and a truly great photographer. It's all in the details and communications, I learnt so much from this thank you.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it

[@calipsobanks1550]

I agree

[@josewantland]

Peter ! You are a master of explaining why and how you do the things do, and that is a very good talent, Thank you for all the amazing tips, and thank you for the awesome team you have.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

You are very welcome

[@philsewell7137]

Please do a part 3, and please use the stunning Abbey, I feel like I have learnt so much from these 2 videos, thank you both so much.

[@bennyk6389]

Peter, these are some of the best tutorials I've ever seen! I've been shooting for years and looking for tools and ideas to work with models and your videos are spot on! 10X a lot!!!

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Wow thanks Benny

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks so much Benny, really appreciate it

[@goadken]

You articulate so well what I try to get across to my models. I have to admit that I have parroted some of your words in hopes to streamline the learning curve and success ration while I am shooting. Thank you for spending the time on this. It is much appreciated!

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks my pleasure, anything to help photographers to take better photos :)

[@garyc6183]

Another great video! I've been photographing models for over twenty years and in two videos you've taught me things I never even considered before. Thank you!

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Happy to help!

[@looiegreen5518]

I'm not a professional photographer, but I love great photos and it is such a pleasure to watch you work. The manner in which you communicate with the models is at another level, well done.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks so much

[@lazvaldes2857]

what I learned from you about what goes on in front of the camera while I am behind it...amazing..thank you

[@MichaelGordonWhite]

So appreciative of the effort put in by all to create this excellent video (again!). Abbey must have been very brave to work through Peter’s thorough, yet effortless and empathetic coaching. At 13:58, Peter said “There, there, there…”, and Abbey… well, watch the video closely to see the results. Just beautiful :) I said ‘closely’, because it’s packed with great insight! Thank you

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks so much Michael, really appreciate it :)

[@ralfheyer1335]

Can't wait to see Pt3 and 4. Your're doing great. Wrote down so many shortnotes to remind me, wow. And Abbey does also great. Beautiful girl, full of concentration and implementing your tips immediately without getting stressed or bored. Great to have such a talent in front of your lens.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks heaps

[@davidcook1714]

Another thing that i have found that works is asking models to wear their best underwear to a shoot. This has caused a few raised eyebrows but when i explain why it makes sense. Even for just a plain headshot it gives a sort of confidence that the model is good about herself. Even though the underwear will not be seen, they know they are wearing it and it makes them feel good which comes through in the photo's

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

@@davidcook1714 I'm sure that would work but some models might find it a bit creepy especially on a first shoot

[@cosmo0080]

hi Peter, i do not think your model knows how good she is and your sir are outstanding at making the model comfortable and that sir is a part of why u get excellent photos

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks heaps, she's starting to understand how good she is and is getting even better with her eyes :)

Peter, you are relaxed and humorous. Windshield washer as an example. The models obviously enjoy working with you and Bec helps too I suspect. You must have thought long and hard about how to get the best out of each shoot. Impressive.

Thank you so much Edward, I really appreciate it. It's years of practice learning how to get models to model in the way that gets the best out of the shoot :)

[@DragusinDragos]

Thanks for the great videos. I noticed you move the camera up and down before making a photo and it made me curious why.... Is this because you want to set the focus first up with the face and eyes in the center ? (Asking because I was expecting the eye autofocus feature would be enough without moving the camera up and down.)

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Yes the Hasselblad has only a centre point focus and no eye focus

[@RussOniPhone]

She was a very robot model, she might work better with some wine, lol your so right about hands she used them way, way too much don’t. I know you might know Peter Hurley he rarely does hands, it’s all about the eyes and your standing on toes is so good and bring your mind somewhere is fantastic I’ve learned so much from you. Again that model face was stone, you really had to work her, but did a great job. I had a client once she said the last photographer asked she might be better if she drank a full bottle of wine before the shot. I knew than I had my work cut out for me. Do you do some critiques on Photos at all?

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Photographer should critique their own work because you know what you're trying to create and if you've succeeded

from tough and powerful to shy and timid. OMG, i SAW IT! you might not think its anything super spectacular but for ME to see it... wow if Abbey yelled across a bar to me and said "come over here and buy my a drink" id be there before "buy me a drink" faded into the rest of the ambient sounds. assuming of course i even heard her (old guy ears)... right after sitting down, you panned to the computer and i THINK i saw 256 images. how the devil do you pare that down to say 10-12? going searching for #3!

In my opinion and according to many other photographers, chin should not be too high and not to be too down ;-) This is simple; and it's because it's simple that it's difficult ! Nice video.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

[@mverick160]

Exactly on your mark. Always talk to the model. Regularly. Get them talking, into it, part of the scene. Doesn't matter what you talk about. Just talk. And exactly. To get expressions bring up things for the expressions. Dogs, pets, boyfriend being a moron, parents not understanding, the beach is relaxing, Skydiving, seeing a snake, etc. By the way, Abbey is gorgeous.

You got some amazing pictures once you put out the stool. She was so uncomfortable standing. Seating helped to take her arms out of the picture and keep her from poisoning. That looking away shot was amazing at all levels. Too many models want to be sexy for man.
