Which part resonates the most?
"you can't just be lazy"
Accidentally hitting the shutter 😂 My last film roll had 6 blanks in the middle after it fired some nice interior shots of my backpack
"Seeing" and showing things in a different perspective. And yep, on being judicious on those film clicks. More clicks = $$
"A lot of lazy people can get away with being a good photographer" man that hit hard. its its very true.
Hello there 👋👋👋
I really can’t get behind guys that rant so much about other people’s way of doing things to validate themselves.
Editing is a beautiful process and a craft in itself. ❤
It is indeed.
This. So much this. I'm not concerning myself with what other photographers are doing. If they want to shoot/edit a certain way I don't care. I care what my clients want, and when I'm shooting for me I care what I want for me.
For real. Especially when what they're criticizing is exactly how they've made their career up to this point. I smell a little bit of elitism creeping in. "I use film, so i'm better than you". Cringe.
Im with you and I really like Garretts work, I shoot and develop 35mm film and digital as well, I have a hard time hearing others stating that real film is "medium format", art is like wine or music doing something different with passion is art "to me" there is a photographer that shoots film with a Holga $20 camera and her craft is magic aka art @anna.s.snapshots
Exactly it's so elitist. I mean at 10:47 hes holding £6000 of digital gear in his hands saying everyone has this setup and diminished it because it's not hard 11:00. That can lead people on a long lonely path to making everything harder for themselves just to validate what they are doing. When people look at the photo they wont care how it has been taken or processed.
I don't think the main skill of a photographer is the technical expertise, but the pattern recognition.
A good photographer is a master at pattern recognition!
Absolutely agree
10:47 Viewing yourself as a "dork" because you shoot with a certain piece of equipment sounds like a serious lack of self confidence in your abilities. And it sets a bad precedent to new photographers who will view their work as "dorky" just because they aren't using a specific camera
Completely agree it's a rather toxic mindset to have. He said that whilst holding a R5 and a 50mm f/1.2L which together is £6000, I don't think everyone has that setup 🤣 I've seen in other artistic genres this kind of thing where you are looked down on because you didn't do it a harder way which he said at 11:00 When the final product is being viewed the person looking won't care if you did it in a hard way or easy way, they will only care about the final product.
It's because digital isn't cool, man. Carrying a mega medium format mamiya is just real photography, man. It's not about the images man, it's a process. 😅
Pure hipster pretentiousness
@@CaerEsthar Yep could have said it better myself 👏
@@MKNYC_ dork.
When he said he felt like a dork holding the mirrorless camera kinda bothered me, not gonna lie. It’s the individuals unique eye that really makes the difference. There’s room for everyone to shoot any type of camera or medium 😊
Completely agree mate and I actually went looking for this kind of comment to see if I was alone or not. Glad to see I wasn't and that part of the video @10:47 did come across "to me" that unless you do it the hard way your work has no value. This is ridiculous and like you say its the individuals eye not the gear they use. Also Shortstache has recently marketed his own filters with Polar Pro, so I better not get those as it will be like everyone else...I actually created my own by stacking a polariser and a mist filter that I already owned together lol
@@GregShaw It makes me laugh sometimes how people talk about these things. I don't always have all the right words for what I am doing when I use my cameras, but my eye is good. I have had people talk the tech part and nerd out pretty hard (I can't always keep aperture words in my head etc),but when it comes down to it, I take the better photo, because I feel it, regardless of medium...digital/film etc. And I like feeling like a dork, so what the hey 🤷🏻♀😂💖
Same here.
I never felt like a dork, I actually love some of the edit's I've created from mirrorless equipment. I will continue to do so BUT the ability to work smarter than the camera was something I missed with zoom lens, autofocus, auto ISO, etc. As artists I feel the process of capturing images should be more meaningful to us than the end result. But that's just me.....just one old man's opinion. Having 4 very different medium format manual cameras the hardest thing was having the right kit on me in particular situations! So I bought a van.....🤣
@@thomaspunchur3627 Ain't nuthin' wrong with bein' a dork! 😂 I agree with you about the process...it's the experience of catching the moments for me, and sometimes the results aren't what I expect, but that's life. I love my medium format cameras, and I limit what I bring out with me so that I don't run into that...but a van sounds like a great option 😂💖🚌
I get a lot of compliments on my editing. Years of experience and failing at other editing jobs already, until I finally just started working for myself and my own passions. It’s paying off!
Been a photographer since 1981. I shoot both film and digital or whatever camera I have nearby (I have them in my car in both the front and back seats) in my gym bag, on each floor of my home and in my office. All with film or memory card ready to go at a moments notice. "Art is everywhere" is so true. I like to tell people that "I photograph nouns" and each of those "Nouns" has a story or an expression that connects me to it through photos. I doesn't matter what the camera is as long as I have a chance to make it part of me for a few moments to connect, then it's the right camera.
Digital photography has opened the door for so many new, great photographers. To lessen that seems a bit disingenuous. Film photography was always a fairly expensive pursuit and today the cost of film and developing it is even more so. On the cheap end it costs between $18-25 to buy and process a roll of film- 36 pictures. Having learned on and shot film, most of those pictures (as careful and slow as you are) are not usable- even with post processing- which virtually all photographers do. If you end up with a photo which touches people, does matter if it was shot on film, digital or fixed in post? I think not. Being critical of digital shooters and the process risks coming off as arrogant. I respect these photographers and like this video. However it did have an air of film superiority which I hope was more enthusiasm than intention. Keep being creative and keep shooting!!
He did take himself a bit too seriously didn't he. Enjoy the process, enjoy capturing art. Doesn't matter how it is done.
I find many film photographers tend to become a tad snobbish.
@@jemlang Completely, came across very elitist and hipster
@@soundscape26 The new hipster it seems
I mean the fact that Peter’s last two videos were shot on pocket 3 is awesome man.
did he mention that?
No way are you serious?
@@OshaunYup
@@Oshaun you can see Kirk recording on the Pocket 3 on the last video at Casey's place.
I thought it felt a bit potato-y
I love how Peter just lets his colabs or guests just be themselves. It’s a little dangerous though cuz this guy while talented comes off as a dork. 🤪
"Art is everywhere"
Amen.
I think what he's saying is digital make people lazy to learn the meaning of photography and is not about you need to shot film but you need to know how to do it . I agree with them
I love this new style of your content Pete... it's like a Photography podcast without sitting down.
I get it. Having started shooting @1970 doing everything with distinct purpose and over the years moving "up" to a R6Mkii I recently got bored feeling "lazy" in the process! I recently sold it and all my RF lenses I had adapted to it and am back to my manual film cameras and my M10 with an assortment of glass which I shoot everything manually in RAW. No regrets, being retired all I have is time, I want to enjoy it doing what moves me. Carry on young buck, never stop learning!
Whenever I'm not feeling well I watch "the bucked shot"... it always makes me stand up 💪🥰🥰🥰
Fixing in post is so 2019.
Fix it with AI is the way to go 🤪
😂😂😂
Hahaha. So true 🤪😂
Having tried to use AI to correct things, it's easier to get it right in camera.
thanks for sharing, you inspired me to try something new
"Art is everywhere". Powerful and truthful statement. Couldn't agree more.
Good times man! Blessed to know you brother 🙏🏼
Garrett just has a different eye than pretty much any photographer I know. His creativity and the art he makes is unbelievably inspiring!
I really try to capture my subject in a way thats telling the story. Showing the action or emotion in a way that reflects what the subject was feeling. What the moment felt like. Not just art for arts sake, but trying to capture a bit of that intangible. Its an endless process to get it right.
I like how Pete gives the other person the stage more in his videos.
Feels so good to know I'm not the only photographer out there that makes these mistakes!
Shortstache is my Inspiration ‼️
Film photography has helped me slow down and think more about my shots, which has improved my compositions. It's exactly what I needed to better my craft. Great video!
Shortstache just casually drops a BAR. 🔥🔥
I was literally waiting to watch two of my all time favorites in a single video.
Hey Pete! I've learned alot from your channel and have even took the leap to start my own. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insights man. You’re a big inspiration!
For many years, every time I've watched your videos, I get pumped and excited, have a positive mind and a great mood, and make my day so good. many thanks
You two are massive inspirations, between the two of you having such visually satisfying work, always an immense pleasure seeing you guys together again 😌
Love this guy’s mindset and philosophy about intentionality in getting the shot and getting it right. I agree with what he said about editing. A lot of these people should call themselves visual effects artists rather than photographers.
Always good to watch your videos and it always inspire me to work towards what I like to do. Thanks Pete!
Pete rocking DJI wireless mic game changer!!
HOW LONG WILL YOU BE HERE IN NYC. WE NEED TO TALK.
OMG, Blaine and Peter together? Love to be a fly on the wall of that room.
@@ryanlynch347 needs to happen. Peter let’s go. I’m ready to go.
We need Blaine and Peter to collaborate together. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@ryanlynch347 laygo!
@@Asomers322 has to happen!
It's really cool to see and hear other people out there that share similar ideas and thoughts about film. I've been wanting to start shooting some of my videos involving film photography. This was inspirational. Thanks. Great Video
My soul needed this video. Thank you 🙏🏾
A PM upload is what I needed today!
Thank you, it's pretty amazing how people can create a picture from scratch! And really THANK YOU for your content and energy!
Another inspiring VLOG!! Featuring friends while giving perspective.
That [triple?] exposure shot at @9:00 is :chefs kiss: BANGIN.
Every shot in this video are stunning.
Nothing is imperfect, every failure is a new chapter, so no one is lazy.😊
Love both these dudes, inspirational across the board. lets not leave out the Captain! out there getting that sick BTS
Loving this series of interviews with other artists! Keen them coming!
I've missed CZcams videos like this. Every time I see Shortstache or Peter get so fired up with editorial sets like this I just get so pumped to grab my camera and make something
Wow! Those portraits are nuts. ❤❤❤
Got to chill with Garret in Calgary with Socality during his film release of Along The Way. Super cool to chat with him. Great idea to hang out with him for the day. "Fix it in post, that statement is so played out" is what resonates soooo much with me.
I have exact same creative vision and shots just different paths we all take. Art and beauty surrounds us all if we slow down and open our hearts to notice. ❤
Thank you for the wonderfully, creative conversation! So many beautiful ideas and comments to think about.
Oh goodness, the perfectionism can be an enemy! I had to laugh at the happy-go-lucky trigger finger slips. Sometimes with film you just have to relax about those accidental taps. Happy little mistakes happen, and it makes me giggle when I screw up like that. I am glad film is making the huge comeback and it is gaining a renewed popularity. It kind of makes me laugh how you guys are treating it like this sacred thing and it has rejuvenated your thrill in the art. It's like getting to the root of the love of it all. Keep on doing your thing, Sweetie Petey 💖
So much to learn. Love this one!
Bros who else missed peter's vids in quarantine 😢
Very much love this channel.
This really makes me want to use film for my product and toy photography. Takes me back in time to 1993 and my old 35mm
People editing their way to success is a punch line. Dude is so inspirational, watching this video has made me think about so many things. Thank you, Peter and team.
I can't take either of these two seriously. One looks like my aunt the other dresses like her. I'll let you guys be the judge.
😂
Amazing Video Peter! You have been a huge inspiration through my filmmaking journey and you motivated me even more to shoot more on 35mm film! ❤
It’s not only about the medium you choose, it’s your framing, storytelling, angles, lighting, etc etc….
Garrett King is quickly becoming one of my favorite photographers. The guy is bold and adventurous in his approach to the art form.
The dream team!! Miss you legends
great content from two great photographers 🙏🏼 Thanks.
Learned a lot
G is always inspiring us to think different
I too am going through a bit of a film awakening. I'm all in on it and haven't even touched my digital camera for anything but scanning my negatives. I've been shooting with an RB and know the feeling of accidentally firing one off. ha. it really does get to you.
Great job with these videos. You inspire me everyday to take more film photos.
Very cool! As a newb, I love seeing the process of a pro “seeing the shot”. What an amazing industry! Great video.
i could watch and listen to you two, for hours
Art is everywhere, totally agree. Developpement (not fix in post) is still a 50% part of the photography process, no matter what you used at first
This video reminds me why I picked up a camera in the first place. Thanks Pete and Garrett
Great video Pete.. thanks for sharing
I was a film developer & printer in the early 90s..I loved being able to manually read negatives and colour correct based on the contrast, density, exposure and saturation. For years as a MUA working with top photographers around the world, i was so disappointed with the colours, contast and photoshopping which destroyed many a great photo. Im using film camera again and I feel its gonna make a come back
Rocking the toaster!!! Takes me back.
Massive fan of shooting 'through' things and getting depth.
I'm a self learning photographer and became a new follower. You were a recommendation. I absolutely love your videos. I'm slowly watching them all, lol.
Thank you Peter for inspiring me in the beggining and still inspiring me.
Loving the photos, those compositions were perfect 👌
that was a beautiful video! Cheers bro!
Love the rover 😉
Hey Pete! Great episode and it always always feel great to see Shortstache around, creating his magic. Now I want an episode on- How to compose yourself or get over the overwhelming feeling when you arrive at a shoot location as a photographer/videographer.
Absolutely motivating🤩
He took the words out of my mouth! This is exactly why I shoot film over digital. I like that its hard! It always challenges me to be better! I don't know if I'll ever go back.
when i watch Pete's contents i just wanna create!! big fan man!!!!
Love this!!! It's why I love shooting with my Fuji GFX 50R. It's slow and I focus on my shots much more. I know it's not film; it's helped me slow down. My uncle just gave me a Mamiya m645. Im looking forward to the process.
That's a beautiful video. I love to see other artists work. You don't need to agree on everything they think, but it's definitely inspiring.
Ahhhh nice!! Been following shortstache for years and love this. Very mature insight and the shots are fire, especially the elevated one taken from the stairs. More info on the vintage rovers please 😮
Man, I lost my photography mojo but this video has got them creative juices flowing again!!
More videos like this would be awesome.
I don't know exactly what is drawing me to watch these videos - but it's something great I think, I'l always like .. newly recharged after the watch .. beat that :)
Two Legends in One Space.
For me it's, whatever I can do to capture the art. Film has made it fun again. Digital gets me what I want or close to it. Art is subjective so maybe don't... "My art is better." No, you have experience so you can generally make better quality artwork. The difference between luck and an artist is repeatability.
Great video makes me want to get into film photography
You're my motivation ❤
It's actually possible to be intentional using ANY camera.
love the vibes 🤟🤟
Garret is seriously the man!
This guy is good; really good. Wow. Clear talent. Thanks for posting; thanks for sharing. Good music choices for this one. Fits well.
I just shot my first roll of film and feel like the increased focus on each shot is going to make me a much better photographer!
Just the way this episode is shot is a masterclass. What they’re talking about is almost irrelevant. ❤
Love what this guy is doing/saying
great vid. Inspiring.
Love this😀
Pete I love the color on this video, can you tell me which of your LUTS you used for this video please. Thx!
