The Money Shot

Lottie came in to the studio with a new corset from Olivia Rowan (oliviarowan.co...) wanting to do a shoot in it for content for her folio and for the designer. She left the lighting up to Peter who wanted to keep it in a Helmut Newton style, and very clean so Lottie and the clothing are shown off more.

I just love what Peter brings out of Lottie in this. He's like a great director that brings out the best out of a good actor. Also what a way to start my morning.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thank you so much

[@fidrox2250]

These videos are so freaking amazing, so nice to see the process and talent of Peter and the models. Glad I found this channel and will check out the paid content.

Some really really stunning shots of Lottie! Great Video again. Loved the lightning and Lotties outfit - matched her Energy perfect

That's often the pace I like to shoot while changing angles and letting the model work. This is a great example to show new models how a shoot flows.

Excellent work Peter. Totally enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing

Very welcome

[@Jake-g9l7i]

Hi Peter, Bec and Lottie , another great lesson. That last shot has a real Marilyn Monroe look and vibe to it. Something about the look of vulnerability in the eyes and expression. As you said Peter that contrast between the costume and the look is powerful. Something else I've learnt from you. Thanks to all three. Jake E.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks heaps Jake

[@David.G.P.]

Many thanks for this new behind the scenes. @B: Please, never forget how important you are in these videos, you are like the foreword and epilogue to a book, and the hand that writes. @L: When you started moving (min 10) you moved to other orbit; you became a complete different Model; and you overshadowed: lighting, camera, lens,… And without the pants (11:42) you were amazing. BTW: I preferred the 1st pantyhose because the vertical mark (left) was fully aligned with the external silhouette of the thigh, moving in harmony with it. @P: Based on what I have seen here, it is important that properly configure the lighting as soon as possible, before the Model starts moving, because later it would become more difficult, because (as I said in my previous paragraph) the Model’s movements would bring all the attention.

[@Texture2112]

Agreed & well put. As alluring as both pairs / styles of the Pantyhose used here are, the slight shine, sheer black pair- I like slightly more. Maybe because the 2nd pair can seem 'trying', where the 1st pair seem like it's their everyday want. And yes, the straight line.

[@carlwarrenphoto]

[@gerhardsteinhofer]

Thank you for the video! Great photos! Why does Peter very often turn the camera a little bit upwards during shooting from the stand? It looks a little bit like the rebound of a gun. Is this focus and recompose or just a habit?

Great video Peter! How are you finding the Molus G200 in these short of scenarios, mixing it with ambient light in the studio or even trying to overpower it? Are you using the Max 300W mode much?

Cool. Hard to hear you coaching the "Dolly" pose without reflexively doing it myself.

Hey guys. I use continuous also but I always kill the ambient. I’m curious what effect the overhead ambient had in this case. It seems like it’s really bright but that might be the exposure settings on the video camera?

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Ambient light was about 40% and continuous about 60%

You may have already covered this. If so, apologies. What are your plans for your hasselblad? Their decision to abandon H camaras is concerning. Will you move to the X models?

I have 2 x H6D 50c and looking to buy 2 more to future proof me, I'm so sad X is the death of hasselblad.

[@dankatz4710]

With your change to using constant light, doesn't ambient light now become a bigger issue? It seems to me that with strobe, you can overpower the ambient light and have absolute control. (Always love your videos, Peter!)

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

yes you fix 1 problem and then create another

As a beginner I have a big interest in this type of thing. What you shoot and others shoot. there's no imagination to what you can achieve.

I don't want to put my ideas for everybody to take.

You're making your life really difficult because you have your skylights open and I assume your overhead lights on. You can see a strange shadow under the models main chin shadow. You might have better luck if you make your studio dark first then add in your constant lights. You'll like your shots a lot better.
