      Thanks, Thomas. I appreciate your kind words. For color grading, check out my mentor Ivan Weiss: www.youtube.com/@IvanWeiss-london
      He has some wonderful tutorials on color grading and other topics. I learned the process from him.

    You have a very cool approach and create Uber-cool content! I'm a retired orchestral/jazz bass player entering into a new later-life career as a headshot/portrait photographer and everything you say about this genre of photography resonates with me 100%. Also, we bass players DO carry the weight of the music!

    awesome! quick question, do you have some tips o doing self portraits as a musician? (I am a guitar player)

    • @PeteCocoPhoto
      @PeteCocoPhoto  Před 2 lety +1

      If your camera has an intervalometer that helps a lot. You can program it to fire of a number of shots while you pose. Self portraits are tough for sure but the same rules apply. Try a bunch of angles, crops, etc. Good luck!

    Hi Pete. Can I ask you hot you shot the drummer? Was it a constant light to use on the hands, then you ´ve adjusted the key light on the upper body part? Hope my English is clear🤞🤞🤞

    • @PeteCocoPhoto
      @PeteCocoPhoto  Před rokem +1

      Hi Thomas, I used constant light for that photo and layered the hands from 2 different images in order to give it the motion blur effect. Hope that helps!
