I wrote an essay last term about indigenous representation in photography through history so began to question the motive behind Peter's work (not necessarily negatively!) But just thinking how the western projection and ideologies might be present here, constructing an image that has been made many times before- would love to know your thoughts if you had any!

As a 7th generation daughter of said West, you touched my soul. Your fluency in gear, switching between film, digital, still, video ... epic. Thank you, for all you do.

Sorry you feel the legacy and tradition of a people is "overused" and "tiresome" for being depicted in a manner they feel honors their present as well as their past. Why would you also want to cut them off from how they choose to portray, and then share, their images? Somehow I doubt Peter forced them into posing, let alone selected the manner of dress. @@HAlariousInc

      @@phillipbanes5484 Never said there was an issue with being a colonized descendant. It’s obvious that colonization will always exist.
      I simply state it as a way of understanding this situation. From a colonized descendant perspective, this is non-issue and can be seen as a celebration of the history and culture. However in this instance, Peter McKinnon, a person who has no genuine ties to the culture, shapes his vision to represent the extensive culture and rich history of it. This, of course, is acceptable…but its the way he goes about it that’s wrong.
      McKinnon, who has a very large following, has a responsibility to express a fair understanding and demonstration of the culture and not perpetuate common tropes often associated with it. Biggest red flag is the headdress…like this is it? This is the only story you can tell? What about the actual truth? The hardships of reality? Not just glorifying indigenous culture that stemmed from ideas that have been rooted by colonizers from the early days of media? You don’t just put someone in a headdress so you can get your instagram photos and make a youtube documentary

    Peter, your new southwestern style is on point! Well done, dude. I work in the film industry here in New Mexico and two years ago I finally made my way into the camera union! I was a portrait photographer for over 20 years, like you shooting weddings on film and learning what it was like to run a photography studio from my parents. My mom started her studio in 1980! However, with the advancement in digital I started to see that perhaps having a studio like my parents wasn't going to be an option to withstand a career so in 2014 I closed the studio and headed west to New Mexico. I found my way into the film industry as a PA and worked my way into CAMERA. Local 600 ICG and I am proud member. You have inspired me since 2019 and during covid your photo challenges were so fun to keep me creating. I love image making! I love people!! Several years ago, I too got back into shooting film! It is humbling to say the least. :) Keep being you and rocking those cool sweaters! Come to New. Mexico sometime. :)

    Pete I at times feel like the closest thing to my own blood is the water of the Colorado River. You continue to run a thread, that is so parallel to my life. Even getting fired from SF. to waking up your passion in photography when you first clicked that macro shot. Anyway, you amaze me once again as you head to a place that is sacred to me, for lack of a better word. That area you flew over of Powell, if you could rewind that scene back to 92 you'd see a small, happy child exploring the shores of Powell literally just near where you flew over, building a rock path on an island at the base of two very defined and well known caves in the area. about 6 years ago I went back on our annual trip and was blown away when we discovered portions of the trail still in tact. This year however, that section was well above the water line, you most likely flew over it on your approach to Page from the West side of Powell and would never notice it. But I often think back to that moment, not even 10 years old and was already obsessed with creating. I'd love to work with you some day if ever given the opportunity. I live in OC and often collaborate with another CZcamsr Jeven Dovey. I love seeing your success, been here since 100k and those cheesy balloons.

    A very different Peter McKinnon video than we're used to seeing. Quite possibly the best one you've ever made.

    Such a great video Pete! I was there at the end of July and were able to get some bangers but it is fun to see this awesome film so recently after my trip! Hats off to you and Captain Kirk for this masterpiece! It was sooo great to watch and fun to see the bangers that you were able to get along the way!! It is such a beautiful landscape and it deserves great story telling!! Keep up the great work!! And come visit Utah more often!!

    Your evolution in photography is so contagious and inspiring to many of us. I started my career as a photographer know nothing and most of the things I learned from your CZcams in the early days.
    And following you along the journey has definitely helped me to constantly rethink and challenge myself to evolve in my creative approaches.
    Thank you for creating this amazing piece that has and will inspire many of us out there.

    Absolutely love your docu-style videos. Seeing the story of how you create photos from start to finish is a pleasure to watch. The way you've captured the emotion of the journey in both this film and The Bucket Shot is incredible. I have a few bucket shots myself I'd like to capture and hope one day that I can not only get the photo, but the journey along with it.

    I used to do photography a few years ago but along the way that took a backseat for my passion in music. But I've been watching your channel for some years now and the more I do the more I feel that little inner photography flame in me quietly flickering...growing again. Your videos just might be the reason I pick up a camera again Pete! Your passion for the art is infectious. Keep up the great work.

    I’m an IATSE member who left the Navajo reservation to work in the film industry. Monument Valley is on the Navajo Reservation and the headdress and clothing isn’t and was never apart of Navajo culture. I don’t know if this is an actor or background person flown out for this photo shoot. It’s an inaccurate portrayal of the local Navajo indigenous people; stereotypical to how john ford portrayed natives in films.

      ​@@phillipbanes5484I'm a proud conservative and I agree people are too sensitive these days. But only a really ignorant person would think that means there shouldn't be any sensitivity at all. Native Americans have been shat on by the film industry for like a hundred years there's nothing wrong with this guy speaking up and asking for an accurate representation of his people. He was totally reasonable with what he said So instead of whining about how people whine too much try to show a little respect

    • @ro3843
      @ro3843 Před 8 měsíci

      ​@@mjmartinejohnwhat the hell are you talking about. He did a whole mini documentary featuring the Navajo nation and the things which are culturally important to them. Yet he makes one wrong choice and he's "culturally insensitive". Don't be such a little brat. We all need small improvements

    I can’t even put into words how incredibly inspiring your videos are for new photographers (me). They truly open doors and churn my inner artistic soul that I thought I lost years ago. Please keep making these cinematic masterpieces so all of the viewers are inspired and push the limits of their creativity. Thank you.

    I've started learning how to take photos when I stumbled on your CZcams, back in 2018. I've learnt so much from you and Matti Haapoja. And now I've recently been on a film as a B cam operator. Everything I've learnt are from you. And just wanted to say how much you and your vids have impacted my life. I also love how you are bringing lite to my people. As an Native American person who is living in Australia I love seeing this. Thank you.

    Often I go through periods of being on CZcams for work rather than enjoyment so my feed fills up with the same stuff that I become burnt out on but when a video like this comes along, it takes me back to watching stuff for fun and enjoyment and is a great break from it all.
    Thank you.

    I’ve been shooting film since 2019 and I wonder why I keep going back to it. I love how you talked about it at the end, it connects you to the craft. I told me wife just yesterday, it just feels like you’re making art as opposed to just taking photos. I love it.

    Very well done! This is what I needed to see today! I’ve been isolated and becoming more and more cabin feverish as I fight off catching covid earlier this week, and this video has inspired me to get out of my digital routine I’ve been stuck in for years and start using those film cameras sitting on my shelf for “decoration”! Thank you Peter for sharing this with the world!

    True words Peter!! And fantastic shots, there is definitely still something to be said about taking photos of a moment that can never be gotten back and how it’s in a way better that setting up a whole shoot. The spontaneity of snapping a moment is something very special that you cant get in making photos.

    It's crazy to think that this is an amalgamation (I think that's your favorite word lol) of vlogging and filmmaking combined. It's not something I've witnessed. It felt like a short film, but also a vlog, but then, something else I can't describe that is absolutely divine. I'm surprised I started to watch your videos later in my photography journey. I wonder where life will take us.
