Bro .. you legit inspire me with every single video! Thank you so much and keep that š„š„ coming because Iām coming for you !
still come back and watch this for the reminder….
The way you phrased the last party is this video, the your so lucky comment, was awesome. Definitely going to use this to inspire my daughter to reach for her goals.
Hey Peter, I just booked my first wedding. It's in December, what are some pointers that you can give me?
i am ready
I realize this is 2 years old now. But the tough love at the end was something I really needed to hear. Thank you. Love your videos by the way. I spend most of my lunch breaks hanging out with you lol.
could you pawn your work? auction? ebay? ect
No eye protection…. Breaking rule number one.
where do you download your soundtracks?
how does stock photo work
7:09
Thanks for the motivation!
That ending was everything. Thanks Peter!!
Probably easier when you have over 2 millions subscribers
Thanks for this video, it's great! I would like to start my own business in photography and I was thinking that I could ask people and local businesses if they want a photoshoot for free because I need pictures for my portfolio in order to start of my own business. And then of course also give them my business card so that they're able to contact me for future jobs. Cause on this way they will know that the portfolio shoot is free, but I will start my own business and future jobs will not be free, but they might want to hire me if I do a good job at the portfolio photoshoot.. Would you think that this is a good way to start?
13:36 lady gaga stole this lol
Lucky dude, must be nice living your dream life as a photographer
Show your work! Talk about that, people gonna be like "ooooh nice! You this and that. You'll do you mind go to the next window, people are waiting behind you". Well You have to choose the right time XD
ā You gonna work for it. Be proactive. ā Like those words from you.
So right on the working hard thing. I work a 40 hour week in order to pay my bills and then I work during almost all of my other free time learning, making contacts, editing, and just trying to make it until one day I can walk into my 9-5 job and say 'You have two weeks to find my replacement'. That will be the most terrifying and freeing day of my life. But I know it won't come for a long time and with a lot of work.
Whatās with the shacky Video
What a great, positive video. Totally agree about working for free. I had to do it for very little time before I started charging, but it really is the best way to not only build your portfolio but also get your name out there.
Does anyone know the name of the LUT colour grading in the B-Roll segment at 2:02? Itās by FAR my favourite and Iām begging to know.
Because of you I bought me my first camera and I am starting to take photos for fun and see where it goes. Love your videos and I hope to see more content from you so I can keep learning as I go.
You such a great guy man, love your attitude about being successful, that you gotta work for what you want to become or even already are, but if youāre āsatisfiedā where you are and just wondering about some other people how they moving forward and improving themselves thatās the wrong way we kinda have to act like a machine which always has to put effort in them things or they wonāt be good enough or even get worse, so always try to get better and get out of that comfort zone or you stay where you are
Keep it up š¤š¾
What blog camera are you using?
Thanks for the words of wisdom Pete. You're the man.
I've watched several of your videos already and i think this one stands out the most from a professional standpoint. Love your work, keep it pushin!
Iva actually applied for 2 jobs so I can start saving TODAY and purchase my digital camera (I have all film rn) I watch ur vids everyday they're so inspiring and motivating dude š¤£š¤ can't wait to get this good
I can legit watch only Pete's videos for a year and not get tired. This guy's amazingšÆā”
YOU ARE SO GOOD!! …..I ENJOY A LOT YOUR STYLE, MAKES ME FEEL KEEP GOING. I AM A VERY MOTIVADED WITH YOUR TUTORIALS, YESTERDAY I SEAT ALL DAY LONG WITH THE VIDEO ABOUT MAKE FANTASY WITH PHOTOSHOP, AND AFTER ALL DAY FINALLY I MAKE IT!!
YOU ARE A VERY GOOD TEACHER… THNKS
Omg too funny! I'm paused at 4:42, and earlier when he was in his wood shop and asked of they made wood scents, I immediately searched his website for a p.o. box because I wanted to send him candles. (Still cant find it…)š and low and behold, that's why hes at the post office. To set one up!
Good point Pete, I tend to do the must be nice thing a lot… however I did put in my effort into my other business for ten years and slowly it got bigger then shit started to happen then it crashed. So I do tend to say must be nice only cause Iām envious of others with good luck and success. Hopefully one day my ticket will cash in
Bro, I like your videos so much that I completely forgot that the video was about photography until minute 7. I just keep watching until you put the title and thought "oh right, that's what I was doing here"
you can tell, taht he had optical stabilization off..
love your work your awesome
I love the message near the end talking about being "lucky". Thanks for the tips Pete, watching in 2018!
Thanks for the story. I love that š
I have my job and just recently started taking photos as a hobby. Who knows, maybe I will even get some money out of it. But that's not exactly the same.
Thanks very much for the inspiration you give to the people (and to me in the first place š love your videos, love learning from you! Wish you all the best! š
I just bought your color grade pack! Can't wait to go out and shoot some stuff tomorrow and try them out! Thanks buddy… you ROCK!
How much should you know to charge
I've never heard someone make so much sense on a subject before in my life.So glad I found your channel.
Since yesterday watching Peter McKinnon all day is crazy but it help me a lot ohooo!!!
0:43 what dog breed is that, because what ever it is it's adorable.
Dude Iām trying to get started right now with cinematography and your videos are rocking my world. Thank you.
Love your videos. Even if you take a little bit of time to get to your topic. The topic is a bonus to just seeing some awesome footage and taking a peep into your life š
holy shit the editing at the start is good
