This made me so happy to see another studio photographer utilizing a simple single light set-up. As a studio photographer myself, 90% of my creative portrait work is done with one strobe & umbrella (I too prefer umbrella to softbox!). BRAVO
Yer can do a lot with a single light, totally depends on the look you like, a lot of fashion / e-com needs 3 lights +, so its good to have those more complex setups worked out, but know when to use them, or when to dial it back.
These collaborations you've done lately have inspired me so much with the educational and artistic content they offer! ❤ I'd love to see more of these so keep up the good work!
Your tutorials have been so very informative and rich on content since the very begining. Love how instead of just showing your point of view and photography style you can bring others and tottally give them the spotlight. Feels like a average numb nut like myself can actually take a few decent picture. Last summer got to capture a moonrise nightime picture thanks to your tutorials. 2022 was a pretty bad year for my family and being able to capture a moment like that was breath taking for my dad. Bravo!!
HOLY BUCK BOYS WHAT A VIDEO! Seriously learned a ton and it’s funny that thing you mentioned about needing a ton of lights was exactly what kind of intimidated me from studio photography but damn seeing Lane at work got me motivated to do it now and again in my home space
One continuous light. One strobe. A handful of different modifiers. [The black v-flats used in the video are also modifiers. I might need one or two...]
Sincere. One of the most useful and interesting videos you've made in recent months. Considering that I am a portrait photographer, your friend's ideas are wonderful. Thanks Pete. 🎞🖤
Lane is totally up my street, what a legend. I get sladed at uni not over complicating things but still making sure to get the best results 😂 he's got great energy need more future colabs with him
Pete….I think I subscribed to your channel about 4 years ago and it has been so much fun and absolutely awesome to see the adventures that you have and the insight and creativity and INSPIRATION that you give. I really do look forward to always seeing your next video. They continuously blow me away.
Hi Peter, you are the most watched person on CZcams these past 5 years and I would like to thank you for all your content and tell you that even though we admins know each other personally, we feel so close to you for your humility. You are someone I admire so much and I hope to meet you one day and I thank you for all your teachings and I wish you a good and prosperous life, you are a fabulous person and I wish you all the best in life, I am becoming a better photographer because I am learning a lot from you and you are a person who stimulates others a lot. Love you from Italy!Have a good life Peter💥
I really enjoy how you frequently bring in other talented people to teach in your videos. To me it shows how you’re humble. While a very skilled creator you aren’t afraid to let your audience know that you yourself don’t know everything.
When I was shooting quite a bit, I found that work in the studio really helped me understand light in a different way when I was outside the studio. I still look back at some of my in-studio shots and am shocked that I made those images.
What an excellent and awesome video, Peter! Lane is amazing! His tips, insight and instruction are gold. I appreciate your input here as well. Thank you for the time and effort you put into making this video and for posting it.
Love the energy you both bring to this video. I was thinking of setting up a small "studio" in my house...I have a couple of empty rooms I could better be utilizing instead of them being considered "storage areas" lol
amazing Peter as always! I loved how I was hooked the whole video! I kinda think that I know you just by watching your videos, it’s crazy I could actually feel I was there in the studio! Greetings from Guatemala!
Amazing video! We mentored a local photographer earlier today and talked how SIMPLE and beautiful you can be in the studio! Most looks were achieved with one light. Keep it up Pete!
This was one of your finest videos. Easy Going, but so informative. I wish we had all of this back when I started in photography 59 years ago. You guys are using it to the best benefit of photography !
Real talk I learned alot from this video. Not only about about photogrpahy and setting up studio shoots with 1 basic light but also marketing myself as a photogrpaher. Thanks!
2 minutes in. Gonna go grab a beer and sit back and enjoy this one. I’m feeling pretty confident I’ll both learn and continue to be entertained. Nice work boys 👌
Gosh! this entire video session was so much freaking awesome 👀🔥🔥👏.. Andddd.... Kirk's voice is so deep and beautiful. Love it ❤️ and the entire every studio photography moments.
Fantastic photos. I love the single light setup. I think less is more a lot of the time. I think the less stuff you have, the less distractions you have the more focused you are on you're subject. Loving all these new vids lately and can't wait to see the new office.
Lane is so magnetic and charismatic. I'm planning to set up a small space portrait studio in my bedroom right now and this video is GREAT inspiration. Great content as always Pete!
Peter you inspired me to take the chance and finally step into photography by buying my first and hopefully one of the many cameras in this journey. I am truly thankful.
My first three photoshoots I did in my kitchen/dinner area, moving the table and giving me enough room to shoot. Then, I graduated to my living room when I got my new flashes... now, I have my own studio (which is the back room of a dance studio that I can use during the day)... And still, all I use is two lights - one with a small octobox, one with a small reflector plus grid. Still gives the most amazing portraits...
The way that Pros did their jobs is always different! and, yeah, the results are INCREDIBLE! Watch whole video without missing any seconds! Thank Pete and Lane so much
I took part in a few studio workshops in the past, and watching what the pros could do was just humbling. I did learn quite a bit, and had nice results, but you are right that a pro (in anything) is just amazing to watch work. I used to race motocross and had a few chances to ride with the pros. No matter how well I was riding, and feeling like I was on fire, to hear and see a pro fly by was just something else.
Holy F Boys - wow just rocked my photography world! I am an advanced amateur street photographer (female) who tried a studio portrait class this week. ONE light - LOVED it. I have always been so intimidated by studio lighting, not anymore. Thank you both
I would normally say portrait photography is so intimidating, just not my style at all... but damn you guys make it look like so much fun! I'm inspired, awesome video!
That intro was too smooth, one of my fav videos of the year so far
Před rokem
Wow you’re killing it! I just smiled the entire video. What a great content! If I wasn’t in Portugal I would get there to get a photo shoot from this guy. Nice work! Cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
Ive learned some stuff today This is hands down my favorite channel Pete you're a legend , its amazing how you have so many great creative people around you. Love the way you teach people without teaching them and how you talk to people as thou you were in the room. Well done. You should come do a Shoot in Australia. ill take you on a desert trip we have plenty of them lol :)
I was just getting into photography and watched a video I can no longer find where a man taught single-light studio photography. Did a "shoot" (really just us drinking beer and being goofy) with a female friend of mine at the time and was astonished at the results. She was amazed that we made those images my living room, with nothing but a chair and a wall for a backdrop. I don't do portrait photography anymore, but this made me miss it.

I’m right there with you @gioandjc. Pretty much the majority of my shoots I’m only using the one light.
Ps, how good was this video?
it possible to use one, provided that you have well lit room.
@@ulyssessait you don't need any ambient light. You shape the one light you have
@@ulyssessait Using one light in an otherwise dark room works.
Yer can do a lot with a single light, totally depends on the look you like, a lot of fashion / e-com needs 3 lights +, so its good to have those more complex setups worked out, but know when to use them, or when to dial it back.
Ooo Casey and Peter within ten minutes of each other. It’s like Christmas all over again
Bro for real I’m literally so exited rn
Was thinking the same!
Meant to be.
@@PeterMcKinnon appreciate you dude 👍

This hit so hard Pete! Oh my GOODNESS. A video from you dedicated to my favourite photography medium, and with one light no less! Thank you ☺️ ❤
Frig what great photos! Also I love that "sometimes you gotta pull all the cars out of the garage" .... leaves a single light on. DEAD. so good.
I can definitely attest to the good vibes on set with Lane! Such a cool, charismatic guy to be around! Awesome to see you two collab! 🤙🏼👏🏼
I’m excited.!!! The aesthetics are beyond stunning in another level. Peter is so inspiring as always ❤
This might just be my favourite creative video of all time. The vibe you guys put out there, loved it!
love you guys! this is so inspiring just to watch how you interact, besides all the practical stuff
Just goes to show how little you can use to create some incredible work! Love that Pete has been highlighting other's work lately!
Lane is totally up my street, what a legend. I get sladed at uni not over complicating things but still making sure to get the best results 😂 he's got great energy need more future colabs with him

This brought a tear to my eye. Not sure why, but having a passionate professional create beautiful pictures just does it.
Simply love how 2023 has started with the amazing videos Pete. I’m so happy we have 11 more months to go for videos for this year. Let’s gooooooo.
I remember meeting a studio photographer some years ago. He said that it's all about 'lying with light'.

Pure motivational shift. Currently at my home studio using one spotlight and backdrop. What an inspiring video. LOVED IT! Thank you and take care!
I love the fact you get into the shot so much and get on your back - I do it when I need that shot.
you guys emanate the same vibe. and i love it!!
I love how you support other small creators/creativ ppl, who are doing cool things. I wish more big names would do same things.
That’s was awesome! You guys worked so well together! I smiled, I laughed and I learnt so much! Love it!!
When I was shooting quite a bit, I found that work in the studio really helped me understand light in a different way when I was outside the studio. I still look back at some of my in-studio shots and am shocked that I made those images.
Unbelievable just how talented you guys are 🔥 Makes me happy to watch this kinda content.
“August Rush”. Pete’s been thinking about this. Great video showcasing all that we love about photography. All about feeling and story.
Seeing an upload just makes this Tuesday so much better. Keep up the great content Pete!
What an excellent and awesome video, Peter! Lane is amazing! His tips, insight and instruction are gold. I appreciate your input here as well. Thank you for the time and effort you put into making this video and for posting it.
One of the best videos you've put out. The vibes were sooooooooooo amazing. Thank you
I'm glad I'm not the only one that makes it up as I go when shooting.
This was so helpful. I loved all the details shared ❤❤
Love the energy you both bring to this video. I was thinking of setting up a small "studio" in my house...I have a couple of empty rooms I could better be utilizing instead of them being considered "storage areas" lol

Thanks for taking us bts with this, it's sick and so informative! I appreciate the August Rush reference 💥
This is awesome! Great info! So far this years videos are awesome!
Loving this years content so far
Fantastic photos. I love the single light setup. I think less is more a lot of the time. I think the less stuff you have, the less distractions you have the more focused you are on you're subject.
Loving all these new vids lately and can't wait to see the new office.
I’ve been waiting ever since your tweet!!! Love the videos man huge inspiration!!
Thanks Peter for your videos its highly motivate and inspire me to stand, take the camera and create every single day!!!
What a veteran! From asking if he has a good side, to making the model laugh and relax - he knows what he's doing.
I watch this video at least three times a week. I love it!!! More Lane Dorsey please!!!
WOW!! I recently opened a small studio of my own, and I LOVE all of this! Definitely picked up some tips I'm excited to try out. AWESOME guest Peter!!
Noticed immediately that he used a Z9, fantastic camera although Peter once said he didn’t like Nikon😂
Great portraits !
Would have loved to see the camera settings as they were taken! What a fun and informative video from someone who does mostly landscape.
Your videos are becoming more like short films rather than youtube clips, really enjoying the new vibe
Lane is so magnetic and charismatic.
I'm planning to set up a small space portrait studio in my bedroom right now and this video is GREAT inspiration.
Great content as always Pete!
You are an absolute legend. Love the energy always. Time to start making some good videos of my own. Thanks for inspiring always.
🙌 loving the simple lighting setup! Lane absolutely crushed it on this shoot 🔥
So much knowledge and superb content. And we are only a month in... I cannot wait for your next content. I'm excited for what's coming next.
Peter you inspired me to take the chance and finally step into photography by buying my first and hopefully one of the many cameras in this journey. I am truly thankful.
That‘s freakin cool! Thanks for getting this out to us 👍🏻

Fantastic video Peter, really digging the new style. That intro is crisp!
dude.. back to back.. amazing tips in every videos hahaha 🤘
Ohhhh love this one ❤
Great explanations of Lane and the pictures came out 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Peter for the video 🎉
LANE's energy is insane. Amazing photos!
Fabulous! Loved every second of it 🙌
Always love seeing the one light setup like I use! 👏👏👏 great collaboration here!

Thank you for making videos that are so filled with knowledge, experience and great tips.
I’ve been waiting for this video for literally years
I would normally say portrait photography is so intimidating, just not my style at all... but damn you guys make it look like so much fun! I'm inspired, awesome video!
The entire key to portrait photography is being comfortable making your subject feel comfortable.
The magic of one light 🔥 awesome to see old gear being revived. My first Broncolors were like 30years old when I got them. They still work.
Love the 2023 style you're going with.
Definitely a great video! You should do more of these.
Awesome! One light has always been my favorite set up.
You are awesome at what you do, thank you
Gosh darnit I love your work. 💖🖤
That intro was too smooth, one of my fav videos of the year so far
Wow you’re killing it! I just smiled the entire video. What a great content! If I wasn’t in Portugal I would get there to get a photo shoot from this guy. Nice work! Cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹

You always show up with refreshing content! 👌
I am going to find that mist he used-brilliant!! Such a great video as always! Now I want to get into photography! Ugh! ❤
Another video I absolutely love and which is so inspiring

This was STRAIGHT UP... AWESOME!!! I aspire to make useful VLOGs as good as you do
I think this is the first video where someone talked and seemed to have more energy than Pet himself! lol Super awesome collaboration. Loved it!
PETE! New favorite vid dude!! ❤

It's so interesting episode. Lane is super positive and creative man. Thank you!
Love the insight, thank you!!
The black hat is FREAKIN AWESOME!!!love this channel so much end art work
oh... this makes my whole day, Thank you, Pete!
Dope as always
4:04 I honestly like the random stacks of paper backdrops as a background. That could be a dope portrait for a photographer
