Studio walk through

[@Daygard1]

Complete respect. Some of us understand what this takes and not everyone is an artist like yourself.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Wow thanks heaps Jeff

[@alexanderpons9246]

Peter Coulson, my hats off to you for putting all the "haters" comments aside and for being the better person and SOOOO GENEROUS by sharing the experience of what Profesional Studio is and looks like! So many of us will never have that experience we can only imagine but thanks to this video now we know. In my experience too many times many of us let our EGO get into our heads and focus in our insecurities and short comings. Gosh, becoming an Artist like yourself does not happens over night, none of us know what your journey has been before getting to where you are. You are too kind Sir, may life bless you with tons of good health to live your best life and share it with us!

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thank you so much Alexander we are all equal no matter what life skills or toys we have :)

[@crissignori7482]

So many people make excuses for the successes of others which give them an unfair advantage but it is not a question of circumstances, talent or equipment. As with anything else in live it comes down to having clear objectives, determination, discipline and lots and lots of hard work. As I have said before Peter is one of the greatest ..... and this video helps us understand a little better the road to his success. Thanks Peter.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks heaps

[@cdgarcia]

“The equipment is for the photographer ..makes them comfortable” so true! Models could care less of the brand of camera or lens you’re using, for instance. It’s refreshing to hear someone of this caliber confirming this

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks Christopher

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Wow, thank you

[@joshuagutierrez8407]

The older I get and the more I shoot, I realize it’s the simple things that make my life easier. Big lights…modifiers…expensive lenses (aka - toys) and yet you pointed out a million times “Everything is on WHEELS” for portability. It’s things like that that stood out to me. I love the fact your studio is organized messy. Any other way and it’s speaks volumes to what someone is about to walk into. Love the studio.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks heaps Joshua

[@AlastairMcIlrae-wy4ul]

I had to comment on this, yes you can get great shots with natural light and average equipment, but being able to have a studio like the one you have built up over the years is something that all of us would love to have. It makes things so much more convenient and I feel it is a BIG factor in getting a shoot done at the speed you do. You have your tools all right there, you know those tools well due to working with them so much and so can very quickly do your job. So of course I would love to have what you have, however I do also understand putting in the hard work, burning the midnight oil and to keep working at it and one day you will have it. So good for you to have put in the effort and work and to have what you have. I really enjoyed watching this.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thank you, yes the studio and all my equipment allows me to work fast and consistently which I need when working with clients

Peter and Bec: Thanks for this video. I'm relieved to come to the video description so I can get the names of the equipment. As a photographer, I'm always looking to find out about better equipment. Keep up the good work. PS: Saw the disclaimer. Why anyone would disparage the amazing and incrediblly charming Bec is beyond me.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks Jeff

[@jlesterhealthcare6555]

The last statement you made about gear is GOLD!!

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@DragonWolf478]

It was wonderful listening to your enjoyment of your 'toys'. I can see why it is you can get the most out of the equipment you have when you have things arranged the way you do.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks Paul

[@SpookyAction75]

Thanks for this Pete. YT is full of ‘X’ versus ‘Y’ so it’s refreshing and great to hear that you don’t need the best and latest. If you focus (no pun intended) on the craft, as you say with basic gear, then you can still get great results.

[@jamesgraham3889]

Thank you Peter, I have been watching your videos for about 6 months now and I find them very informative on lighting and set ups. And I love your work.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks so much James, so happy to hear you're learning heaps from them

Peter...love your closing statements. The gear is for you. Its not necessary to take great shots, but its for you. I hope that resignates with the gear junkies that think the latest and greatest will make them successful . Congratulations on your success! For sure, it is well earned my friend....well earned...

Anyone with an ounce wouldn’t make such a comment “it’s alright for you ...”. Your industry is tough, only the most determined get somewhere in photography, it goes without saying that you Mr Coulson deserve any success you get and I for one feel very fortunate that you and other pro’s with your experience and talent are willing to share some of that so that I can learn. Love your honesty.

People think the gear is what makes a photo?? really??? I'm an amateur and I know it's the eyes and mind that make the art, not the gear. Mr. Coulson, hat's off to you for your artistry and dedication. You're an inspiration to many, myself included. Love your work. The chemistry between you and Bec is nothing short of amazing. Also, I really like how you break down how you do what you do the get what you want. Thank you ...

I truly enjoyed this "tour" of the studio, but even more so, the straightforwardness about the "relative" importance of the latest and greatest in gear. It's all about the artist, not about his/her tools. Your work is pretty impressive.

[@davidmarshall5665]

I’m absolutely blown away, this is one of the most amazing videos I’ve ever seen. I can see the dedication, determination and sheer hard work you’ve put in to your photography to get where you are now. I’ve mention on other video’s about how cool it would be for you to be my teacher but after seeing your studio you should be running top seminars in there or even have a teaching school because my mind is blown seeing it all and I think I’d have to do 7 days a week just to learn the equipment never mind have time to learn the skills and techniques. I love photography and kind of got in to it by accident as it was something I could do while I have had a back injury and it takes the edge off not being able bodied as I can do 5 minutes or maybe an hour if I’m messing about doing so macro shots while sat. I never knew how much it meant to capture a snippet of time that can generate so many different emotions by pressing a button and when I’m not taking shots I’m reading or watching videos to give me inspiration, ideas or just to learn. I’ve watched a few videos of the”photography masters” but they all seem to want to sell me something and I never get that from certain photographer on KZbin I just get great information. Thanks for your great videos Peter, please never give them up. Thanks David, Uk.

I like your equipment racks on wheels. I wish we had that back in my TV production days. Equipment storage was attached to walls so we'd have to cross the studio constantly while setting up. As somebody once said; "learn to take good pictures, then get a Leica."

That is people's problem even me a little we all get hung up on gear. I am also a mobile Dj and in my profession oh if you are not using this gear you are a crap Dj. I went to school for portrait Photography 150 hour course. And you are right how you talk to a model putting them at ease will go a long way in getting a job done. I am still working on that aspect but getting better learning from you. You have such a soft but commanding tone.

Thanks for the tour, it's great to see behind the scenes! I love your honesty in the way you work and present things. As a guy who's enjoyed taking photos for over 40 years, but has only just gotten around to getting a half descent camera, I find your content to be very helpful and interesting in my steep learning curve of some of the technical side of photography. I can feel your enthusiasm for what you do in the way you present and it's obvious that you've worked hard and well deserve the fantastic studio that you've created. Thank you (both Peter and Beck) so much for your instructional content, if I can create results half as good, I'll be doing awesome!

I must say that I am impressed. You communicate very well your philosophy and objective of your shoots. I'm an ex banker who has always had a camera (first one was a Minolta in th 60s). Watching you work, and despite all the gear you have I know that you could do better than I with a polaroid vs my R5 canon . You inspire me. If I can ever get close to your results, I will let you know. But don't hold your breath. I am realistic . Roger from Québec, Canada
