Shooting with LED lights

[@rudelchw]

Bec has such charm, I never get tired of watching her model for you 😊

[@DavidWilliams-hv7so]

Bec the black and white pictures look so much better. There is so much more emotion that comes across in a black and white picture

[@pastorseanlester]

Wow... Dry July has put a compelling fierceness to Bec's look. First time I watched this to learn how posing is done.

[@CycolacFan]

Having this relaxed easy going atmosphere and relationship between photographer and model really helps on a shoot.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Yes 100%

[@ggmann13]

Okay so yeah I clicked on this for the gorgeous woman in a gorgeous black cut, but I stayed for the fascinating process! I became enthralled in just listening to this guy talk about his work. There is something cathartic about watching a professional just dominate at their job lol.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks heaps

[@dangallagher8034]

yes... we ARE your friends, and happy being so. Thanks you two.

[@Veypurr1]

You are at a real advantage because you get to work with the most beautiful and talented model in all of Australia.

[@1stfootprint_art]

"Cropping to compliment shape"... another simple but extremely useful statement... thank you...

You're very welcome!

Beck is stunning and your photos are amazing, Peter!

I completely agree : in B&W we just and only see Bec ... whereas color disturb the look ! I second you !!!

Bec is my favorite model.

For not being a model, Bec makes a for a really good one Also while she has a killer body, like Alexandra Daddario it's her eyes and personality that really hold you.

Rockin the house down with every single video !!! These are just the best .... Thank you Peter and Bec P.S. Why don't you say "cool" every once in a while? It might inspire Bec even more. 😂🤣😂

Great job Peter, nice to see LEDs put to\photo use by a pro. I use my LEDs for my videos but for the guys that like to What U C is what U get that’s the way to go. As always Beck did a fabulous job of being at the right place at the right time!

[@elieannestay9442]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, you help me learn things that would have taken me years to find on my own! Shooting tethered seems so much better in terms of possibilities to get the final result you want, I ordered myself a long cable so I can try. Thank you again so much to both of you, keep on your great work.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks I hope you enjoy tethered shooting :)

Very nice subtle use of the colours Peter, I was concerned that it may have gone a bit ‘Jill Greenberg’. Bec of course looks as gorgeous as ever 😘

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Many thanks but yeah na I like B & W too much to go that saturated :)

[@MiaogisTeas]

Thankfully not. Sometimes we have to separate an artist's work from their politics. Jill is an artist who makes that very difficult.

Hey Peter, that is a cool video!

How about doing a best of reel with Bec and commentary on what makes the pictures awesome ? Please for us Bec fans !!!

[@mickstarfighter]

I love the great, naturally and kidding interacting working team you both make. So I would hate to deceive one or both of you. But dear, beautiful and so funny FRIEND Beck, I agree with Peter that YOU look so much better in BW rather in colour for the reasons Peter explained. But I also understant your own younger vision, that colour represents ore the festive universe you seem to like so much. I would say B/W is more Art, and colour, more night live reportage. Thumbs up from Belgium.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks

So cool how she goes from normal, kind of nerdy regular girl to smoking hot/unobtainable temptress and back in a fraction of a second. I guess that’s what you call “modeling.”

I am getting a fan of coloured light, too. Played around with color filters on one of my smaller flashes recently and it somehow turned out really cool. Well done, you too! And Bec: Don't make life for Peter so hard, don't be so good at modeling :-D

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thank you :)

[@harshglare5017]

Yes, I can see the difference in B&W... color now seems more chaotic BUT, I speculate that B&W looks better because of your style.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks for sharing!

[@keithmartin9413]

Technical point: red and blue are not opposites; they aren't complementary colours. That would be read and green, or blue and orange. However, what you're DOING with those lights looks damn good (of course).

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks Keith In my light & colour reference book from the 80's they show the complementary opposites on the colour wheel as Red and Blue, Red and Green, Green and blue, and made famous in cinema photography Teal and orange. That's what I've been using for all my fashion shoots but I much prefer black and white cos I don't have to worry about that stuff :)

[@chiraz111]

Hello Friends! Cheers on the great video.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks for watching!

[@frederickc3507]

Loved this session. Such fine adjustments to the lights, Peter has a very narrow acceptance level, that’s why his photos are so great. Bec is sweet, I think and nuts as well, but please speak a little slower, miss a few words here and there and don’t get her entire comments. I Enjoy every video tremendously, put together by a happy and great team.

Great video. Love the kit. I have a pair of Westcott Ice Lights. You have to gel them for color but I have found them to be very useful. I have a pair of barn doors I use which help me focus the lights. Peter makes a good point regarding black and white. Will you two be returning to the States for any seminars? Curious about Boston or NYC.

5:30 I've come to understand an aspect of your photography ethos is that you photograph for the model. I feel the criticisms you receive are from those who compare your work to "the rule book" of photography.
