When You Don't Know What To Do With Your Shoot

[@Flyphotocoffee]

At 12:25 you add the radial filter and drop the exposure, I literally said "ooooooooh, that's good" Love this. Thanks for sharing as always.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching

Happy Spring! Love watching you work

Thank you!

[@MartinH1701]

I just got home from your Austin workshop and I will never be at a loss for what to shoot again!! Page after page of notes and I'm still writing down my recollections and ideas. Your generosity in teaching and holding nothing back is much appreciated. Inspire is very aptly named. Safe travels!

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thank you so much for your support Martin and I'm glad you enjoyed the three days.

[@MTimWeaver]

Nice that you got to attend. I had planned on it, but got laid off earlier in the year. Some day!! :)

[@robertevans6481]

Yes Peter and Ra Ra you guys nail it with the cover shot. Like how just a small difference in lighting can make or break a photo. Yes that is something i need to work on. Thanks Peter...and Bec

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thank you Robert

[@michaelmcphee2930]

Excellent vid. I love the radial filter. No chemical smell like in my darkroom of 50 years ago. So much more opportunity to produce great shots. The models pose in profile over her left shoulder when her chin cleared her shoulder was just stunning. Fantastic to see it happening. Thanks mate

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks heaps

[@thdr_kcznsk]

Tha best Rara shooting so far ! Very cool, nice mood.

Thanks heaps James

Amazing the use of the gradient in lightroom, thanks for sharing!!! I´m gonna star to combine Capture One and Lightroom for my shootings

Awesome to see you building the shots and guiding RaRa that way.

[@bobwarren263]

This is great! Too many people I've seen overplan, and when it's not the plan they can't innovate and can't make something happen.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks Bob

[@trancer03]

Amazing work as always both of you (and Bec on the video camera) I never had a model without knowing exactly what I am going to shoot. Not always the entire shoot but at the very least I will have one shot in my head that I am going to make, usually this includes styling and her pose and the background. Some models are not used to this amount of preparation and they get a bit overwhelmed but that's how I work.

[@d.k.1394]

love u all

I have had lightroom since its first version, when it was free. Yes, Adobe wasn't as greedy as it is now. It is almost all that I use. Beautiful photography Mr Coulson, the young lady is as stunning as ever.

This is hands down one of the most incredible photography and modeling videos I’ve seen. Great job team! I’d love to see Peter turn this into a series and to showcase some of his editing to get the look. Ps. If you sell those LUTS, I’d buy them.

And once again it’s a walking talking teaching thought provoking trail Peter, Beck and Rara take us on 🫠

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thank you 😁

[@Martin-ql2bd]

The Black Line coming down into her head from the merging of 2 Flats is an interesting problem. Spray the edges BEFORE pushing them together with lumpy accustic ceiling touch-up or run a bead of caulk/adhesive then press together and while wet use house paint brush to Blend Out that hard line! Sure you can Photoshop it out easy but I come from the "clean it up Before snapping the shutter" school of thought. Also if you and the AD are looking over several 100's of exposures it's nice if they are ALL Pre touched-up...right?

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Than you but it's made from craft wood and it doesn't stick very well, and half the time I leave it in because I like it :)

[@David.G.P.]

Many thanks for this new backstage session! @Bec: Many thank for assisting RaRa in her work. @RaRa: Many thanks for posing again for educational purposes. That studio wouldn’t be the same without you. You should alway be close to Peter and Bec. @Peter: You always have the best Assistant, the best Model, the best studio, the best cameras, the best lenses, the best lighting devices, … is there anything else you still miss? Immortality? Your masterpieces are immortalizing you. Again: is there anything you still miss?

[@josedejesusrodriguezarteag2675]

Stunning shoot as always!, I hope some day you share how to create those channel LUTS, I have being trying to do something similar for years in Lightroom

these images look fabulous!! great connection with Rara … also that LR radial gradient adjustment to the images is pretty cool, along with following onto the other clicks!! just recently found your channel and really dig’n your work style & bts to see your flow 📷📷 Sub’d !! 💪🏼💪🏼

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks

[@rolandrickphotography]

Always awesome at 12:35, that photograph of James Dean on the Time Square 1955. To those always claiming the image must be perfect sooc, the darkroom notes make any further discussion about editing in post or not obsolete. Editing in post is done since ever, Ansel Adams was a master himself. 😅

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Yes agree :)

[@RalphBellairs]

I get the feeling that Peter not knowing what to do with a shoot happens rarely, if ever!🙂

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

No it happens quite often :)

[@JagdpanzerV]

I just love how Peter can go "Uhh, oh, I have no idea what to do today, let's improvise something casual", and then "This is just a snapshot to test the setup", and then show that very first test photo of the session straight out of camera, and it is easily better tl than about 95% of my final, edited portraits... 😅

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks heaps, it's just practice

[@UHDStudio]

« Ignore the clicks, force me to take the picture! » Great lesson! Thank you 🙏

Ra makes any photo session. (Good). How could a photographer fail, when you have Ra as your photographed subject.

[@melmnrz]

I kind of want him to tell me "that's really pretty" :P

[@chrisporter6572]

I love your work to include Bec and every model that you share. I've been learning a lot and appreciate what you do. Thank you for these videos. I am curious about something if you don't mind me asking and that is: do the models pay you or you pay the models?

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thank you so much, I pay the models for the KZbin and iNSPIRE videos

[@chrisporter6572]

Awesome. Thank you.

[@monztermovies]

I would not be at a loss if RaRa was in my presence. Lol 😎👌🤘

[@richmoll5134]

Another great video. One question I have is, you seem to always shoot in landscape orientation, what’s the reasoning behind that? Thanks!!

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks, my eyes look at the world in landscape not portrait and also when you're shooting portrait or people upright the picture can now be used as a cover of a magazine or two page spread

[@richmoll5134]

The idea is not important, the most important is the way you use any idea.

I've always said I'd like a studio that was situated between a prop house and a costume supply company, bot who let me use their stuff for free. (or a really big discount)

[@McShaganpronouncedShaegen]

First thing I would do is put her tee shirt on before she gets there, but that's just me. 😄

[@BoxerTys]

Sorry Peter but i must ask... is your studio that cold you always need the heaters ? it's a big studio, is there no central heating ? 🤭

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

It's winter and our studio is 500 m² with seven meter high ceilings the cost to put in central heating would be horrendous

[@BoxerTys]

@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer That's true, especially with the gas prices these days...🤭

[@DesireMe-h3k]

You should always have something to fall back on to in this situation. Maybe at least 3things lol.

[@christopherjamesboudoir]

I also really dislike it when a model buries their chin behind their shoulder. Not all the time, I have had the occasional shot where it works. But otherwise it just looks like it elongates their chin and I don't like it.

[@dancedj2k2]

This is good and all, but I would like to see a video of you doing a shoot with "normal" , non-model type people. Models make everything look great, but it seems harder to shoot people whose bodies aren't of model proportions. Models make things easy, but normal people usually will show discomfort and shyness or embarrassment.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

The problem is those people don't want to be photographed especially not filmed for KZbin

[@a-bela]
