  3. Heather L says

    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.

  4. Derek Williams says

    Hey Peter, I just booked my first wedding. It's in December, what are some pointers that you can give me?

    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.

  13. Denny Soloist says

    That ending was everything. Thanks Peter!!

  14. Aiden4Jesus2019 says

    Probably easier when you have over 2 millions subscribers

  15. Elly Elzinga says

    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?

  16. Clinton MP says

    13:36 lady gaga stole this lol

  17. Dzsugas Muki says

    Lucky dude, must be nice living your dream life as a photographer

  18. Mathieu Phaneuf says

    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

  19. Rj Yee says

    ā€œ You gonna work for it. Be proactive. ā€œ Like those words from you.

  20. Twisted Focus says

    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.

  21. Kelson Beets says

    Whatā€™s with the shacky Video

  22. Loud&Clear says

    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.

  23. ItsFrenchy says

    Does anyone know the name of the LUT colour grading in the B-Roll segment at 2:02? Itā€™s by FAR my favourite and Iā€™m begging to know.

  24. Gabriel Olivarez says

    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.

  25. monkeysakir says

    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 youā€™re ā€œsatisfiedā€ where you are and just wondering about some other people how they moving forward and improving themselves thatā€™s the wrong way we kinda have to act like a machine which always has to put effort in them things or they wonā€™t 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 šŸ¤™šŸ¾

  26. Willow & Sage photography says

    What blog camera are you using?

  27. Tony Lima says

  32. Rachel Koch says

    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…)šŸ˜‚ and low and behold, that's why hes at the post office. To set one up!

  33. Chadalac Inc says

    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 Iā€™m envious of others with good luck and success. Hopefully one day my ticket will cash in

  34. Carlos Centeno says

    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"
