Studio walk through

- Happy Friday everyone, thanks for tuning in. With all the behind the scenes videos we have been uploading for you guys, we noticed a lot of comments about Peter's huge warehouse studio, so we thought we would give you a tour :) Sorry this is a long video, Peter likes to explain things as he's walking around. As explained at the start of the video, this is 20 years of hard work, blood, sweat & tears - a studio like this filled with a bunch of photographic toys doesn't fall into your lap overnight. This is also a commercial working studio, for Peter's clients he needs this level of gear and this sized studio. We hope you enjoy the tour!

''And not listen to camera clubs and other photographers and anybody who is not gonna be your client'' words of diamond.
Complete respect. Some of us understand what this takes and not everyone is an artist like yourself.
Wow thanks heaps Jeff
Peter Coulson, my hats off to you for putting all the "haters" comments aside and for being the better person and SOOOO GENEROUS by sharing the experience of what Profesional Studio is and looks like! So many of us will never have that experience we can only imagine but thanks to this video now we know. In my experience too many times many of us let our EGO get into our heads and focus in our insecurities and short comings. Gosh, becoming an Artist like yourself does not happens over night, none of us know what your journey has been before getting to where you are. You are too kind Sir, may life bless you with tons of good health to live your best life and share it with us!
Thank you so much Alexander we are all equal no matter what life skills or toys we have :)
“The equipment is for the photographer ..makes them comfortable” so true! Models could care less of the brand of camera or lens you’re using, for instance. It’s refreshing to hear someone of this caliber confirming this
Thanks Christopher
So many people make excuses for the successes of others which give them an unfair advantage but it is not a question of circumstances, talent or equipment. As with anything else in live it comes down to having clear objectives, determination, discipline and lots and lots of hard work. As I have said before Peter is one of the greatest ..... and this video helps us understand a little better the road to his success. Thanks Peter.
Thanks heaps
WOW, just come across this old video, that one hell of a setup with a lot gear and space 👍
Glad you like it!
I like your equipment racks on wheels. I wish we had that back in my TV production days. Equipment storage was attached to walls so we'd have to cross the studio constantly while setting up.
As somebody once said; "learn to take good pictures, then get a Leica."
awesome I just got a Leica :)
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer A Canon EOS 1V is on my list to get "one day" :)
Thanks, thats a great tour!
As i come from beeing a cabinet maker, now renting furnitures and props, taking pics is more tha a hobby for me, but people / portraits is new but i like it!
"shooting what you shoot" This right here is what resonated with me... Thanks for sharing this Peter.
Thanks
I had to comment on this, yes you can get great shots with natural light and average equipment, but being able to have a studio like the one you have built up over the years is something that all of us would love to have. It makes things so much more convenient and I feel it is a BIG factor in getting a shoot done at the speed you do. You have your tools all right there, you know those tools well due to working with them so much and so can very quickly do your job. So of course I would love to have what you have, however I do also understand putting in the hard work, burning the midnight oil and to keep working at it and one day you will have it. So good for you to have put in the effort and work and to have what you have. I really enjoyed watching this.
Thank you, yes the studio and all my equipment allows me to work fast and consistently which I need when working with clients
The older I get and the more I shoot, I realize it’s the simple things that make my life easier. Big lights…modifiers…expensive lenses (aka - toys) and yet you pointed out a million times “Everything is on WHEELS” for portability. It’s things like that that stood out to me. I love the fact your studio is organized messy. Any other way and it’s speaks volumes to what someone is about to walk into. Love the studio.
Thanks heaps Joshua
Great philosophie. Thank you for all this sharing. A fan from a small village in France.
Thanks for watching!
we can only be inspired by your talent and not jealous
Thanks Tony :)
Właśnie wyskoczył mi ten film na yt. I uświadomiłem sobie ze juz tyle lat oglądam wasze filmy. Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji święta fotografii
Dziękuję
"It's putting your fingers in your ears and not listening to anybody else and shooting what you shoot and let the world see what you shoot and not listen to camera clubs, other photographers, any body who are not going to be your clients" WISE WORDS!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Shows how hard you worked and were you have landed from the hard work..
Thanks Fred
Very nice studio! Thanks for sharing your world and creativity!
Thank you very much!
Love your videos and seeing your amazing studio. **One safety point that hopefully was addressed a while ago, at minute 8:26 I noticed an “emergency exit keep clear” door had a lock on it. I’m hoping the lock is removed during normal working hours. Stay amazing.
Thanks they are old emergency exits and not in use any more, the locks are on them because the doors do not lock and anyone can just walk in.
Thank you for sharing and love your quote: don't listen to anyone or camera clubs....
Thanks Ian
Awesome! Amazing!The Dream of all photographers! Congrats !
Thanks a lot!
The last statement you made about gear is GOLD!!
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Probably my kind of heaven looks like this studio
Thank you
Great wisdom. You can tell he understands how the industry works. I'm sure we would get along really well.
Thank you :)
Peter and Bec: Thanks for this video. I'm relieved to come to the video description so I can get the names of the equipment. As a photographer, I'm always looking to find out about better equipment. Keep up the good work.
PS: Saw the disclaimer. Why anyone would disparage the amazing and incrediblly charming Bec is beyond me.
Thanks Jeff
Can’t tell you how much I enjoy your video. They feed my soul and my photography creativity.
Wow, thank you!
I used to work in larger studios, production studios, also repaired photoelectroics. You have a standing overhead that needs throughput of jobs just to keep the lights on. Always great work. 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks :)
Never been in a studio that didn't have crap piled up somewhere. Saw your bins and bins full of backdrops. I had three... LOL!!
People think the gear is what makes a photo?? really??? I'm an amateur and I know it's the eyes and mind that make the art, not the gear. Mr. Coulson, hat's off to you for your artistry and dedication. You're an inspiration to many, myself included. Love your work. The chemistry between you and Bec is nothing short of amazing. Also, I really like how you break down how you do what you do the get what you want. Thank you ...
Thank you so much Tom :)
love you Peter! You are a grand master and we are so grateful to you, always.
Wow, thank you
Congratulations! TH-cam suggested you! I’ve been a photographer for 20 years. It’s never an overnight success. Ppl think it’s so easy. Luv your studio.
Thanks so much
I admire your views on gear, and I also admire your setup and thought process as to the reasons why.
Sometimes it's good to step back and realise how far you've come and that you only got all these amazing things through your own hard work. Loved it!
Thank you
amazing video, thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
you have what i think MOST EVERY studio photographer dreams of. i dont think something like that is really out of the realm for a lot of shooters either. that said, there is ONE studio of similar size (although i dont know of very many people who have ever been inside) in my hometown of about 33,000. the owner has a camera store, is UBER OPINIONATED about what gear everyone needs to use (i.e. NO options other than the N brand) but he has made some money over the years. I think it was built in part as a tax write off. that 3.3m (10' to us Yanks) reflector is amazing! i liked how you used it in "does size make a difference".
Thank you
I feel so inspired watching these videos tells me I can too be as successful too. Thank you for being open and sharing.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for bringing us into your space Peter. This was definitely enlightening and helpful to me on the stage I'm in in my photography journey.
It’s a credit to you Peter to still acknowledge how you started and that the hard yards DO payoff by doing good work and doing the miles ... thanks so much !
Thank you Marty
Thanks for taking the time to show us your studio. A product of hard work, determination and 20 odd years of over night success.
Thanks Greg :)
Awesome!!!!! Thanks for sharing! RESPECT!!!! From California.
Our pleasure!
Thank you Peter for doing a rare insight into a great studio, some ideas that I will implement!
Thank you Mark
It was wonderful listening to your enjoyment of your 'toys'. I can see why it is you can get the most out of the equipment you have when you have things arranged the way you do.
Thanks Paul
I am so happy I have found your feed. Thank you for being so real and unafraid to reveal yourself.
Thank you Steven I really appreciate your comment :)
Anyone with an ounce wouldn’t make such a comment “it’s alright for you ...”. Your industry is tough, only the most determined get somewhere in photography, it goes without saying that you Mr Coulson deserve any success you get and I for one feel very fortunate that you and other pro’s with your experience and talent are willing to share some of that so that I can learn. Love your honesty.
Thanks heaps :)
Thank you for this tour! It helped me a lot. You’re true inspiration to me. You both are. Please continue making these tutorials 🙏☺️❤️🕺
Thanks so much, more coming soon
Bruh, love the studio! Very jelly 😝
thank you
Great video. Just getting back into shooting after 15 years so I’m behind, but inspired.
Thanks so much
What a stimulating environment! Thanks for sharing this!
Impressive Studio. I like the way, you’re talking about gear. This is an entertaining video.
Thank you
This was wonderful.
Thank you
I told someone posing for me last week about this Australian photographer with a huge studio where everything was on wheels. Marvelled at it. Now I see it’s even more well done than I thought. I agree with your comments on not needing all the toys. I finally learned this. A bit hard to swallow at first. Hope you have a great trip. Enjoy Toronto and area. Hamilton has a surprising number of waterfalls, by the way. Halton regional parks.

Thanks Edward
I truly enjoyed this "tour" of the studio, but even more so, the straightforwardness about the "relative" importance of the latest and greatest in gear. It's all about the artist, not about his/her tools. Your work is pretty impressive.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the tour, it's great to see behind the scenes! I love your honesty in the way you work and present things. As a guy who's enjoyed taking photos for over 40 years, but has only just gotten around to getting a half descent camera, I find your content to be very helpful and interesting in my steep learning curve of some of the technical side of photography. I can feel your enthusiasm for what you do in the way you present and it's obvious that you've worked hard and well deserve the fantastic studio that you've created. Thank you (both Peter and Beck) so much for your instructional content, if I can create results half as good, I'll be doing awesome!
Thanks heaps Gary
It is amazing letting us in into your place and showing your studio. Thank you
Thanks :)
I'm still filtering my way through all of your video's and live streams, and trying to do a day job, build an ecommerce site and a million other things. I find your videos a pleasure to watch, and your voice a pleasure to listen to. As the dreaded camera club member, I appreciate your honesty about camera clubs, thanks to you, I am enjoying taking the pictures I want, and sod what the judges say !
Awesome to hear Graham :) thanks so much
Great video, gems of knowledge. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
You two really need a reality show. I have learned so much from the You Tube videos as well as Inspire but it's hard to say which i like better, the photography part or watching the two of you. Thanks so much for sharing your world with us :-)
Thanks Rob yeah Bec is awesome
Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
thanks for the walkthrough, nice shop.
"Can you get a good picture out of a bad photographer'? Love that!!!
sorry we were a bit harsh but its the truth :)
Awesome video studio is fantastic I started small too I work for many years ot get my Gare for my weddings Gare I no how hard it is to get started thanks for another great video Peter l love watching your video Paul.
Thanks Paul for sharing with us
See you in LA ! I got my flights booked I’m really looking forward to the workshop.
Cool we will see you LA
I’m absolutely blown away, this is one of the most amazing videos I’ve ever seen. I can see the dedication, determination and sheer hard work you’ve put in to your photography to get where you are now. I’ve mention on other video’s about how cool it would be for you to be my teacher but after seeing your studio you should be running top seminars in there or even have a teaching school because my mind is blown seeing it all and I think I’d have to do 7 days a week just to learn the equipment never mind have time to learn the skills and techniques. I love photography and kind of got in to it by accident as it was something I could do while I have had a back injury and it takes the edge off not being able bodied as I can do 5 minutes or maybe an hour if I’m messing about doing so macro shots while sat. I never knew how much it meant to capture a snippet of time that can generate so many different emotions by pressing a button and when I’m not taking shots I’m reading or watching videos to give me inspiration, ideas or just to learn. I’ve watched a few videos of the”photography masters” but they all seem to want to sell me something and I never get that from certain photographer on TH-cam I just get great information. Thanks for your great videos Peter, please never give them up. Thanks David, Uk.
Thanks a million Peter and Becky ! Instead of making me jealous it gives me motivation and a goal to go for ! To be successful and happy through this amazing journey like you did !
And I hope I will also have an amazing co-worker as Becky !!!
I hope I will be able to meet both of you in France for one of your workshop some days !!! Cheers !
Thanks Nicholas we both can't wait to get back to France
That studio is heaven!
Thanks
Thank you for sharing 20 years of hard work, blood, sweat & tears ! Well done you. Love the studio but more so your positive attitude and demeanor. I only just discovered your channel a few days ago and I'm super excited
Thanks heaps George
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer I prepaid a year for Inspire on 08/28 and am loving the tutorials ! You mentioned several times you use a Wacom tablet for retouching. Can you tell me which one you use ? Thanks so much !
@@GeorgeHuss Thank you, so glad you're enjoying them. I used to use the Intous 4, but just got the Intous Pro a few days ago and love it. I use the small one when we're travelling and the medium at home.
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer Oh, had a thought. How to set up the Wacom tablet may be a useful tutorial if you're still looking for ideas...
Hallo George, i thaught the same as you explain in wrighting, respect to Peter. In my Viewing he is Top Manager and looks like a very skilled Photographer. I Fond hin in his Chanel right now. Frohe Weihnachten to all and Happy New year
What an interesting video, Peter and Bec, even a walkthrough your studio becomes a fascinating lesson in photography, BRILLIANT. Thank you both for inspiring me even more.👍📷📷📷📸📸
Thanks Anthony for watching
you look exeptionally happy showing your studio Peter :)...I smile looking at you smiling
Thanks its my happy place :)
Amazing studio! Congrats on all of your well deserved success!
Thanks Jay
Thanks for a great behind-the-scene look at the studio - amazing!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Peter!
You should never have to worry about what some asshole said, your skill and your great vision for the photographs shows just how good you are. I have watch you for years and enjoy you vids and the relation you have with the wonderful models....
Thanks so much
Thank you Peter, I have been watching your videos for about 6 months now and I find them very informative on lighting and set ups. And I love your work.
Thanks so much James, so happy to hear you're learning heaps from them
I am impressed by the countless opportunities you have with this equipment and your experience of more than 20 years.
Great place Peter, brings back memories from when I had my studio in Toronto... but I ended up going into television for 20 years which I retired out of, and now gone back to lighter gear. However, I do miss my cove wall!
Thank you
Thanks Peter, that was terrific. I used to work with photographers back in the 1980s when I worked with ad agencies and design studios but haven't been in one since then. Thank god it all still looks familiar. Love your vids and your work, you're an inspiration as I start my photo adventure. Cheers.
Thanks :)
Beautiful studio, looks like you have all you need to create anything you desire. Thank you for the tour! Wish I could make it to the Orlando workshop, maybe some other time. I really enjoy your videos, the asthetic of your images, and of course I love the Bec shirt and her personality as a host. Have a wonderful, safe, and successful tour in the states.
Thanks Heaps
Thanks so much for sharing. Reminds me of Working with Micheal Andrea in his studio 30 + years ago.
Nice studio. Love all the space. And, of course, all the toys. And Bec.
Great place to work, thank you for showing your studio, it is always good to see extraordinary places
Thanks
Lovely. Happy to see what you have and wishing for some day to become as good a photographer as you. Not for your equipment, but for your talent. I am a big fan of your work. Cheers.
Thanks heaps just shoot a lot of what you love shooting
Hi Peter, how are you? Came across this video this evening. Thanks so much for sharing and being so open about your journey. I’ve been a pro-Photographer for 44 years (7 as freelance) and I’m still learning and being inspired by awesome people like you. Thanks again. Alan (from sunny Scotland).
Hi Alan, I'm doing okay just over being in one of the toughest lock downs in the world.
Thanks heaps, glad you enjoyed the video.
I happende upon and L-O-V-E this video. It helps justify my lunacy (on a smaller scale... for now) to my business partner. Gives great insight, direction and hopes for our future...Thx Peter for the video and your platforms.
Glad it was helpful, thanks
How can anyone be negative with you and Bec? You are so wholesome, nice and down to earth!!! Thanks for all that you share with us!
Thank you so much 😊
@@PeterCoulsonPhotographer You are welcome!!!, again thank YOU for all that you both do for us!!!
Ha, now I know where your located! Epic studio, how cool. Appreciate the little bit on plugging your ears and shooting what you shoot and just working. Going to remind myself of that. Cheers. :)
Thanks, you have to take photos that you love and don't care what anyone else thinks, then you will have your own style :)
Amazing workspace, enjoyed the tour. Inspiring as always
Thanks so much!
Wow, those two lights are huge.
Nice joint Peter It reminds me of my studio in Chicago before I retired One perfect truism gear equals speed! you can get the shot with less, but when you have a client in studio, you MUST be quick! They become bored soooo easily. Thanks so much for showing us around cheers 💧🍓
Thanks William
Thank's for sharing that great video
congratulations Peter for your wonderful studio. hard work pays off
We in Russia, ordinary photographers from the provinces, can only dream of such studio equipment, such premises. Thank you for your videos, they suggest a lot in terms of shooting.
Yes thousands of hours
Drool…
I do not have the talent to build what you have built, but it would be my Lotto life.
Agree with you on the toys, they are more for me than anything else …. just don’t tell my wife. Every lens, light, backdrop or prop is an important part of my toolkit!
If you dream big it will happen
Really an interesting tour. Thank you! You have built a great business and your passion for it shows. Cheers! Hugs to Bec!
Thanks so much!
Just discovered your channel!!!! So refreshing to see someone speak honestly about the business. Something to aspire to. Thank you, sir! Inspiring.
Thank you John
Orange gel lights! 😂😂😂 Well done Peter, grit pays off!!
"toys make us feel good" - referring to gear... He's so right.
Awesome
Love this
Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job showing it all ,lots of hard work.Thank you
What a great creative space! It would be so much fun to work in. Thanks for doing the tour!
Thank you
Greetings from Chicago. Best wishes to you and your team. I appreciate what you share with us, Doug (a small commercial and art photographer)
Thanks Doug :)
Thank you so much for this feel good video.
I am not jealous (maybe just a bit ;-), but your positive and encouraging speech is a source of great motivation. Thanks Peter! Thank you Bec, you do a very good job!
Have a great weekend an amazing and successful trip in the US/Canada.
Thanks Phillippe
Wow! I never realised how big a studio you have, nor what massive lights also. I though it was expensive being an electrician (as was I). You've inspired me to pull my thumb out and acquire some sort of space to have my gear readily available and get shooting in my retirement years. My limitation is having such a narrow interest in just studio portraiture. Thanks for sharing this, and best of luck to you.
Thanks so much, so happy to have inspired you
