I think you should look back 40 or 50 years to the samples/examples tutorials of that time. Not only did the "masters" have lighting, posing, technical knowledge and the visual transmittal of emotion in their back pockets, but because film didn't have instant review photographers just had to *KNOW* what worked and what the results would be prior to film development. It's amazing how with the technology how mediocre (sorry) much of today's stuff is. And so much is dependent on Photoshop to fix issues that weren't fixed in the camera. Look up Marisa Berenson, Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton, Yosuf Karsh, Leon Kennamer, Arny Freytag, Ken Marcus.. and the list goes on. Sorry to be negative, but it I'm just calling balls and strikes as I see them. With the advanced digital equipment we have today, It's surprising that the lack of technical knowledge or artistic output is so wanting. Sorry to be negative, but it I'm just calling balls and strikes as I see them.
Talk about experience, from zero to hero in 10 minutes. Discomfort to comfort love this.

This is gold. Especially for someone who works almost exclusively with untrained models and/or non-model clients.
After watching Peter's way of making the models drift into that specific flow I can barely stand watching videos where other models perform "macarena" :) The connection between the model and the viewer in the Peter's photos is amazing.

Setting the mood and coaching a client / model is the hardest part of completing the “circle” of capturing the perfect moment of time and freezing that. I would LOVE to see an entire series of people off the street brought in to shoot. I shoot boudoir and headshots etc. and most of them have NEVER modeled. That video you showed her was the moment she changed! The technical aspect of photography is what so many professionals on KZread teach - but none of that matters if the subject isn’t feeling it.

To me, before and beyond being a photographer, Peter is somebody who enjoys life and loves human beings. He also is by his nature and experience, a very active, positive, dense, empathic person and a great psychologist who very deeply understands, loves, respects and looks for intense and qualitative relations with other humans so as - in his Superb Art Photography - best and in a pro but also cool way, to celebrate the specific inner & outer beauty of each of his models, treating, protecting, and interacting with them as a father or a mentor would do, with love, full respect, reciprocal thrust and deep pro & playful bilateral soul interaction. Not to speak of his Great Art, Great talent and Great expertise in photography.

@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer While I meant ‘pose’ to be very generic- including eyes/ emotion- I appreciate your point that the exact position of body parts is not critical to a great image! In fact I have found it very frustrating to shoot models who have attended one of those ‘training camps’ where they know ‘101 great poses’ - maybe great for generic e-commerce shoots- but not beyond that…

Many thanks for this new backstage session! @Bec: Many thanks for assisting the Model and the Photographer. The audience shouldn’t forget that you are behind the video camera, IA is not smart enough, and it never will, to replicate the job you do in these sessions. @India: Many thanks for posing and exposing yourself in this session. I wish you have the best career as a Model and a successful personal life. You have the best reference Model, from your own blood, you have the best assistant and the best photographer, what else you need? @Peter: Many thanks for this series, with new (to your eyes) Models. I think this is the most critical point in photography, that AI will not be able to help much. @Peter: Q1: You mentioned full body and being nervios, and I am aware it depends on each Model, but what are the physical symptoms (body) that a Model is nervous? There are people that cannot stand still, otherwise you will cancel their identity. @Peter: Q2: Are laughter and smiles unwelcome in portrait photography? How do Models don’t usually like that looks? @Peter: Q3: If a photography is going to be BW, is there any difference between a) retouching and then transform to BW and b) transform to BW and then retouching? I think option “b” will save time, but is there any benefit in doing “a”.

I have watched several tutorials/lessons and taken some courses to learn take portraits. I have been trying to create similar headshots. I have been sloppy and it hasn't been consistent. But there was almost no resources on how to find these specifically strong and powerful emotions. I tried to find this in my models by giving them some person items. But, this is exactly what I have been missing and looking for. I am learning a lot Peter. Thank you very much.

ive looked but havent seen (or maybe i DID see but forgot?) have you got any 'models' who not only is their first time with YOU, but their first time EVER? India has been modeling since 2, and looks like about 16-18yrs old so thats a LOT of experience. too bad you cant just go downtown, and ask some random lady and tell her some of the basic starting positions. what im referring to, is how India starts out right from the beginning giving you certain poses with her head and doing stuff with her hair and then when she was sitting, she already knew how to start the poses
