Bec did very well in this shoot, IMHO. we haven’t seen her modelling much in a while. She looked prettier than ever. Thanks!

Great video. The sheet shot of Bec on location was great. The location work is a lot of fun. I was shooting a job recently. Guy says, "you can fix it in post." I reply. "How about we fix it in camera right now, Chief?"

As usual Peter and Becs makes their photo shoots so much fun, a great learning experience, with amazingly creative and edgy photos. Great job guys! 👍 ❤

The Eiffel Tower shot, (which IMO is such a tourist candid shot) compared to that "sheet shot" which is such a nice shot, (shame on you keeping that one almost hidden for us) are such ultimate opposites. Love the ring-light against the black wall. Great video, since Bec likes the ring light so much , let's call it a Bec-light so things can become really confusing using a back-light too hehehehe And again, thanks for sharing !!

Many thanks for this new backstage session, I didn’t expect to have a new video so quick, to be honest. This is great! I will need to review the notifications for KZread in my smartphone, I should have been told much earlier about this video. - @Bec: It is always a pleasure to see you as a Model, that you are happy and you can laugh. I like a lot your high heels because it emphasises your vertical silhouette. You cannot image the envy I feel when you mention workshops, knowing that you will be a Model for the photographers that will attend them. - @Peter: I didn’t know about this king of flash, it is very good. It really remarks the body, face and hair features. In some way, it produces a 3D effect. From the 4 options (3 against the white wall, and 1 against the dark wall) I prefer the one where the Model is away from the wall with flashes behind in both sides that eliminates the halo. In any case, all these 4 options provide really good lighting effects against the Model because it marks very well her body, - @Bec: I would like to know how flashes impact modelling. Is this something that help Model to pose? Or the other way around? What are the flashes that Models like the most, and hate the most? Is it annoying because it can blind you? Could you please include the answer in one of the podcast sessions? - @Peter: I know this session is about flash, but I like a lot the image when the Model has black eyes (when she is looking at the screen) at 2:03 and 5:59. They are really good images. I usually like when a Models looks at the computer’s screen or at the camera’s display because they express hope, but in this case what brings a lot my attention is the black eyes, specially the eye that dissipates into the black hair. - @Peter: I don’t know how this is seen in photography but I like a lot the white lighted areas between the parts of the body, for example between the arm and the waist at 10:53 - @Peter: I also like a lot the pose when the arm is touching the thigh, with the skirt a little bit rised and the silhoutte a little bit bent at 2:43. I am aware this session is not about posing. But I cannot ignore this pose. - @Bec: I don’t understand why you say you don’t like you poses, they are really good. I like them a lot. You bend the body very good. The pose that looks like you are half-sit on a high chair is really good (e.g. 4:43-4:45). - @Bec: Very funny the picture with the Tour Eiffel behind, it looks like you are challenging it. - @Peter: I know it sounds strange but I like a lot the image at 7:06 where the Model is not focused. I don’t know why I like it. The Models seems to be part of my imagination, someone that is not real. I think what we keep in our mind is blurred. It is a kind of fuzzy memories. - @Peter: It is good to see the Model from other angles, not just frontal, for example at 9:15 - @Ana: Many thanks for supporting this session, by recording with the video camera.

Can't wait to see you guys here in LA. Silly question. Is it ok if I shoot with my 500CM Hasselblads ? I love the look of film, I actually modified a 500CM to have two 35mm rolls side by side inside a film back, so the results is a single image going across two films and also going fully across the 4 strips of sprocket holes.

Peter, if you and Bec haven't already done a video of a fashion shoot using just an Iphone for your camera and available light. Your equipment is very expensive and out of reach of most folks, but virtually everyone uses a phone as a camera and can get some really great pictures if shown how to do it correctly.

@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer Hello Peter, excellent vids as always. I want to chime in here since I too use the Broncolor Ringflash. The ring flash will indeed leave a very distinct ring in the eyes of the subject when the subject close enough, and like the halo effect - the result is something that some photographers like and others dislike. The reflector that you're using on the ringflash is often used up close to the subject as well. Keep up the great work!

Funny how often the video is out of sync with the flash...
