PIRATE RING & PENDANT: clocksandcolours.com
ln this video we dive into product photography. I bring you along with me and walk through the steps I go through to set up a successful product photography shoot. I explain the thought process on how to establish an effective scene that complements the product and then I take you through the process of how to set up lighting for product photography. We are going to be applying these skills towards creating the actual launch assets for the new Pete’s Pirate Life x Clocks & Colours jewelry line which launches today! I share how to effectively place the product, what camera lenses I use for product photography and let’s not forget how to inject a little atmosphere to add that extra spice. My goal is for you to be able to TASTE these photos… this is going to be a fun one folks!

That old Russian newspaper in the intro made me check the name of the channel I'm watching. Didn't expect to see it here. 😯

[@Lex4man]

я тоже

[@SteveNilsen]

@@Lex4man Нордж Сиер привет

[@PavelSupanenka]

That's exactly what I wanted to write 😅

[@stivnov]

"Вышневолоцкий пролетарий" - oh my god, man, how on earth did this newspaper end up in Canada? The first word is a name of a small city (45k people nowadays) and the second one is "proletarian". During soviet era everything bigger then a village had such a newspaper.

[@ViktorKitov]

Lots of Ukranians and a good deal of Russians emigrated there.

[@OXMStudios]

Haha now this is an interesting comment

[@RzaNaziri]

I just realized... this video is making Pete make money by showing how he makes money while making money in some other ways. Good job man :)

[@JonasBecker]

While also helping us to make money while we are making him money

[@AndrewWang07]

It's the inception cash-in model

[@usernamemykel]

He's a pirate marketeer!

[@JakeTheVikingFranklin]

The hair is coming back! Let’s go!! Also, if you like antique shops, my parents on a super dope one in New Bern, NC. If you’re ever in the area you gotta check it out.

[@largefamilyruralliving7434]

Used to go to visit NewBern all the time living at Cherry Point, missing the NCarolina friendliness here in Michigan. I might have been there and didn't know it, was 15 yrs ago.

[@JakeTheVikingFranklin]

@Ishmayl Of the Dagger Franklins Antique Mall on Front Street!!

[@_Johnspike_]

Awesome bro I’m in NC charlotte area

[@BrandonHartOfficial]

Your ability to think outside the box is just next level. That 3 ring "Fly the Flag" was SPICY.

[@FilmsLA]

I don’t even wear rings but this video made me want to buy one

[@Snorkelpirate]

I also don't......didn't wear rings, but my second C+C ring came today. Now I need Pete's ring. The craftsmanship is ridiculous

[@TrueNorthLens]

The exact thoughts running through my head for this video!

[@alexv.2106]

no cap it even made me consider saving up buying one of these these are clean no cap

[@SamNewton]

The hair is getting wild again and I love it

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I personally love this episode Pete. I like the lack of background music, allowing your passion to show through. I learn a ton from your videos, even though I'm nowhere near your level. Watching this gave me some ideas for a video I'm shooting this weekend.

[@chadsexinton]

Personally? What else would it be ?

[@ricardodurand422]

He went back to his roots and makes a video on how to photograph, and even though he was selling us his jewelry, I didn’t mind it because he was teaching us something useful. I missed the old Peter, thank you!

[@usernamemykel]

His roots are getting grey.

[@rhausen2132]

Among all the great vids you make, the ones where you actually take photos, show your thought process, considerations and dedication stand out for me the most. It's just inspiring seeing you working with your craft.

[@yassinesaadi610]

These vids pushes me forward in life

[@jaksonmartins_]

His passion doing what he loves is so freaking inspiring! I bought a new lens and was getting ready to shoot some product photographies and this videos arrives. Perfect timing!

[@danymirabal]

😴😴😴😴

[@marshallscott2718]

This is one of the best and most well made episodes I've ever seen pete put out. It's real. It's raw. More extended BTS, longer cuts. No background trendy music, etc. Just pete being pete, with good documentary storytelling. I love this.

[@panda.tlea063]

Your product photography videos are probably my absolute favorite. It's amazing to see what elements you choose to set a scene, as well as the process!! And honestly a huge inspiration for my own beginnings within photography and discovering my personal style.

[@JoshZlaket]

I don’t think some people realize how insanely awesome this video is. Amazing work, as always! And the hair is back and I’m absolutely here for it! 🌊

[@ChadHensiak]

Love it when you create these kinds of videos Pete. So creative and inspiring! Thanks man!

[@frankiecuvin]
