Not nearly as many people today are printing or sending away for prints - but they SHOULD BE! There are plenty of benefits when it comes to printing your own images that I think will make you a better photographer.
Hope you guys enjoy this epode, and I look forward to sending one of you guys a one of a kind original print!

Home printing? Or Lab printing? Why?!
Home one bc you can control it
Peter McKinnon good Idea brother, I've always thought about hanging my own prints on my walls, but unfortunately I don't own a camera not yet at least :(
Peter McKinnon I would absolutely love the photo to hang above my bed! It would go so well with the photo of the Giants Causeway that I took a while back!! great video as usual ;)
Peter McKinnon personally for me it would have to be home. As I am an inpatient bastard lol. Love the videos bud.
Peter McKinnon I want the picture/ peace of art because your a big inspiration to me and I always watch your channel for photography and film making tips. I would put it in my living room because it matches my living room👌🏼
I am a high school teacher in a dropout prevention program. My students and I are in the process of remodeling our classroom, but we don't have many decorations. We would be so stoked to hang this in the classroom to help inspire us all. If anyone reads this please like it so Pete actually sees it. Thanks everyone, and thanks Pete for the awesome content!
Hi Pete! I was more than stoked to see you're giving away one of your prints and immediately wanted to enter this contest. Next to my good friend / mentor in all things photography I count your content to my biggest inspirations. It's always informative, never boring and your approach of teaching is so refreshing. While I often struggle with the technical stuff, I usually get it when you explain it. Watching your videos has helped me tremendously on my way of becoming a better photographer. Thank you for that! With that being said...
While I'd love to frame your picture and hang it on my wall above my desk, I came across this comment by Alex Milanese and even tho this is not a voting system, I still want to vote to send the picture to his/her students.
Art moves us and makes us stop dead in our tracks all at the same time. We just have to look. If just one of these kids looks... Call me sappy, but at least my world would be a better place :)
Simona Valentini That was a dick head move. To build off of Alex's post. Alex I hope you win.
Give it to Alex IMO ☺️
Have you read my post? I wrote it underneath Alex's to say he should give it to Alex...
I agree with Pete... print and hang'em. Good idea Alex, inspire those kids. Hope you win.
Hey Peter, you should make a video about preparing a photo for printing! adding borders, export settings, getting colors right, etc. Would be cool!
Emile Segers why add borders? Yikes will make photos horrible
plezx29 I'm talking about white borders ofcourse haha I add them in photoshop on the exported jpeg most of the time, but maybe that's not the right way. I was talking about just seeing his total workflow you know
Emile Segers just tell the printer to keep the required border. I've found that to be easier than adding a border myself.
yeah exactly. it's necessary. he's so talkative and digress tooooooo much
Emile Segers 100 yes and yes, thiscould be sooooo helpful, especialy on how to get the right colors on the final print and how to choose the right paper
This just made me want to print and frame my boyfriend’s work from his past career as a photographer and gift it to him, just to show him that his hard work still holds value
he'd be stoked
Wesley Chapman I really hope so! I just chose my favourite of his, I'll send it for printing and gift it to him for his birthday :)
@@the_walkyrie too sweet :)
Thats a fantastic idea, top girlfriend
This just made me want to go out and looking for a girlfriend
My guitarist buddy printed several of pics I took of him playing over the years. He got these giant canvas prints and hung in his basement and didn't tell me. The next time I was there, I was blown away... with my own photography...LOL I could not believe how great my stuff came out. YES, print stuff!
Surprise gallery of your own work, nice!
Bogos binted?

Who's watching without socks?

Omg I was just thinking I need to take my socks off
Wtf😂
How did you know 😂
I remember watching this video 2 years ago when I first started taking photos on my iPhone thinking “that printer is way too expensive!” Fast forward to today, and that printer is sitting on my table and I’m printing every photo I can. Thank you Peter for inspiring me to peruse photography as a career!
Getting mine today. Saves a lot more money in the long run
@@tretheafrotraveler how’s it gone?
@@RedditRoar The printer is a beast. Easy to use and customize in the options menu. Super satisfied with the print quality.
@@tretheafrotraveler which printer?
This is why I love shooting on film. It's an entire hands on process that is so satisfying and educational each time you do it. You're consistently and repeatedly falling in love with the medium and gaining more knowledge and appreciation with every shot, development, and print.
Hiya Pete! I am 16 and my 13 year old brother and I have been watching your videos and we have been inspired to go out and shoot more pictures in different ways! We take every Sunday afternoon and run around our little home town in Ohio for 2-౩ hours and do competitive photography challenges ( judged by folks in our community). We don't have any fancy gear (just smartphone cameras 😁), but we have been inspired by your awesome content to really think of things and try to capture them in different ways. Boy would we be honored to fill an empty spot on the wall of our room with art from our most respected photography inspiration to remind us to shoot more intentionally. Shoot something to be proud of.
I love snowy sceneries. That would be a good enough reason, but at the moment the only art I have on the walls of my room is a terrible photo (it looked much nicer back then) I took and had printed like 5 years ago when I was much worse in photography. I think seeing a signed Peter McKinnon print on my wall would remind me that dreams do come true with hard work. It would go above my TV so that whenever I start watching TV I would think: "Should I watch TV or do something to achieve my goals".
I've printed several photos of my own photos I took while on holiday. Blown them up and had them framed. Looking at them hanging on the walls instantly take me back to that moment in time. What I felt like that year. The story behind the photo. The experiences I had during that trip. Much like a favourite song transports you back. It's an awesome feeling!
Hey Peter! all my life I have always been interested in photography but never thought I could ever make it work. At around the same time I was going to college for a semester and taking gen-eds, I started watching your videos. You inspired me to pursue a passion that I found through YOUR videos. I now am doing photography full time. I have my first wedding lined up in May and couldn't be more happy. Thank you, Peter, for setting the tone for me as a photographer/ business owner. I most likely wouldn't be here without your content!
There is a huge open wall above my bed in my room that I have been saving for something special. It would mean so much to have the opportunity to hang it there.
I would hang the print above my desk here at university to motivate me and remind me that the whole world is out there waiting for me to explore and to do that with my trusty DSLR and take amazing travel photos is my biggest dream, I don't wanna loose sight of that.
thank you for the high energy content that keeps me motivated when work load gets heavy at uni :)
I want your print up in front of my bed and close to my door, so that everyday I get to see mountains to inspire me to make the most out of my day and challenge myself to make my day unique. Seriously, you are one of the most inspiring people in my life, Peter.
Peter I have to say this video actually changed my life. I watch loads of YT and love it... countless hours of videos roll in and out of my life, but your video printed me to do what I’d wanted to do for a long time. So I went out and bought a PRO-1000 to start bringing my work to life. I’ll keep you posted hope it all goes. Thanks again. Much love. Much respect. 🤙
Seriously photography goals! Just starting out with a little Sony a6000. Finally after three months I finally have a couple shots I'm proud of... After 2000 pictures. 🤦🏻♀️ Keep making videos, keep mentoring! You've already helped me so much think outside the box in how I take pictures and edit them.
You nailed it on so many points here....there is a certain artistic satisfaction that comes from seeing your work printed and showcased as tangible art. It's a game changer. Great video!
You are so right. I get such an awesome sense of satisfaction and completion from holding the physical evidence of my work in my hands... The photograph is the product of the blood, sweat, tears, cuts, scrapes, bruises, sore muscles, arguments with your camera, yourself and the weather... It's the evidence that the insanity has purpose... and meaning. Ive been a photographer and adventurer for a long time, but I am just now getting into film making and it's a whole new ball game. Im starting from ground zero. I love your videos, your cinematic style, your visual effects and your energy. Most of what Im taking with me on this new journey, Im learning from you, because your style is so similar to what I find visually artful. Thank you for your work, your lessons and your energy. ` Rebel Wilder
Great video, Peter. I absolutely loved the dark room and quite miss it. There’s something about seeing that photo come to life in the developer that creates that connection between the photographer and their work. I also loved your comment on buying and hanging prints of others when we should be hanging our own, which is exactly what I’ve been doing for years. There’s nothing wrong with an artist appreciating their own work. Cheers!
Man I always felt like I was missing something with photography... this is totally what it is, the lack of a tangible physical piece! Also not to mention for those of us trying to get more work and exposure, this is a great way to get your work out there and is not done very often anymore!! Great video (Even if I'm 2 years late!)
Hey Peter, I'm an hobby photographer and I absolutely like the idea of printing your own photos instead of just buying a print from Ikea! It brings unique art into your home that nobody else has. I recently just moved out of my parents' home into my new home. But right now there isn't any art yet or anything else, and that's why I would love to win your print! I would hang it in my hall, so that when I enter my home, I always get inspired and reminded why I love photography! Your tips are the best, and I hope becoming just like you in 10 years! ❤️
Needing decor on my wall was a huge factor in getting deeper into photography I want only my pics on my wall now
Same! About to take the plunge and get my first ever decent camera.
Same
Thank you for inspiring me to print my photos. I recently got into photography and came across your channel a few weeks ago. I’ve been able to learn a lot from watching your videos. This one though will hold a special place in my heart. A couple of days ago my son was rushed to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery to repair a massive brain bleed. The doctors were not optimistic in their prognosis. They said he probably was not going to make it through surgery but he’s a tough cookie and best the odds. He’s a critical but stable condition and showing signs of improvement. Which brings me to the point on why this video holds so much meaning. The weekend before his emergency , I took him down to Everglades National Park. I took my camera a shot a bunch of landscape photos. But my favorite photo of that day is one of him standing and looking up at a map of the park. Although his back was facing me , I decided to take the picture because he looked so amazed at the size of the natural wonder. I recently converted a room into an office space for my work. Was deciding on what to put in it. Printing and putting my own photos crossed my mind but I thought that would be tacky. But in Lou of recent events , i will definitely be printing that photo of my son to put up in the wall in my office. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Well said, Pete! Couldn’t agree more. I have thousands of pics sat on my hard drive but recently we moved house and I found all my old negatives and slides. The process of printing is an amazing experience and definitely a loss for those that don’t do it.
I need it so I can replace the Black and White New York picture with Yellow Cabs I bought from Ikea...
I'll also send you a print as well.
the impression of the people looking at prints at IKEA is my favourite part of this video
The cabs are yelloow!!! :D
I honestly have the print he was talking about Hahaha..
I agree with you totally in printing ones images. I have spent many hours in the dark room seeing your image coming alive, it gives you a good way to improve your skills both in the moment and in the field. Thanks again for the inspiration!
Peter is so right about prints! I’m gifting my Uncle this beautiful black and white silhouette of his youngest son for this Father’s Day. It’s so satisfying to see your work in physical form, even better seeing the reaction of the receiver of the print.
You don’t know how much I wish I’ve seen this video when you posted it for the chance to get that print.
Love your work man, you have taught me a ton and thanks to your videos I’m back into photography after I felt that I wasn’t cut out to do it.
Keep up the good work!
Home printing is the best because you can learn how the printer adds inks to the paper and why your image looks a bit different than on the screen. What's the difference between additive or subtractive inks? What matters on the screen won't matter on the print. Why Black and White prints need a special printer with gray inks? And most of all, you get your print right away. Instant gratification! Oh and don't forget you can run down to the local art framer and have it mounted. Some shops will let you do your own framing. You're friends will never believe that you created the whole thing yourself.
I too miss the days of working in the darkroom. Many of the commands you see in photoshop come from techniques that were done in the lab. You had to some basic math and use timers. If you messed up, you had to start all over again. Mistakes cost you money. But if you got it right, the results were amazing. Your fellow photographers would always ask, how in the heck did you make that? One day in photography class I was able to fool my instructor. I created a photo of racecars going around a track just like you see in NASCAR. I told him it was all made with miniatures. Slot cars to be precise. The instructor didn't believe me so I went home and photographed the slot cars, track, toy people, etc. Well I got an A+ out of that class. My days learning high school photography, helped me become an expert long before the digital camera came to be. Lessons that will be lost forever in the new digital world.
Captain Jack makes me sad. At my school there was not enough people interested to have a class so I was never able to learn.
Hey Cap... can you recommend a printer? Ps: Im not rich I would say $250 is my max budget (but would prefer something lower)
Thanks Peter for making all of the great videos. I just got a camera for Christmas from my wife because I wanted capture moments of the kids as they grow up. We could only afford one of the little canon kit packages but I absolutely love it. I just wanted to let you know your videos have been such a help to not only figure out the basics of photography but also they have given me a lot of inspiration for ideas of shooting. You make it feel like it is an art but one that everyone can get into and love. You have helped me a ton! Keep making the videos, I love watching them as a quick boost of motivation to grab the camera or try and learn to edit photos instead of just sitting on the couch. Thanks again, keep up the good work. I am going to go and figure out which photo to have printed now.
I remember as a kid (14 years old) had my own B&W darkroom. Great memories. Than came color, that Evan took away the fun...less control. Printing gives so much satisfaction, you're work is completed...you did it ALL
I love printing my pictures and having a look at them physically, it's also a great gift
What printer do u use?
Hello Peter. I am a film student so I take a lot of appreciation in visuals. Recently I started doing the photography for the restaurant I work at and it is something I take a lot of pride in. Your videos are very motivating for me in the work that I do and I take every one of your videos as a lesson for my own career. I really appreciate the help you are willing to give others through your own knowledge. I would love to receive a print because I admire the shots you take and your dedication to capturing them. If I were to receive your print, I wouldn't hang it in my own home, I have something more special in mind. The girl I have been seeing the past few months is preparing to move into an apartment soon and I thought what would be a better house warming gift than decorating her place with one of your prints? It would be very meaningful because she is a very sweet person and shows a lot of appreciation for my work and gives me motivation in continuing it and putting myself out there. It would be a very special surprise to give her something from someone I admire and whom motivates the work that I do. Thank you, Blake.
if you don't give one to this guy you're heartless!...
Pete, I am a new photographer and have been shooting just over a year. You have inspired me from the first time I watched your videos. You are the first channel I followed regarding photography, and I rarely miss a new video. I would love to have your print to hang in my living room to show you off to whomever comes over and to inspire me to continue on this journey. Thank you for your teaching, entertainment and encouragement.
I did this when I got my film camera and printed all my rolls of film and hung my favorites in my room and gave some to friends, I’ve recently got a mirrorless camera and found myself missing the printing process and the excitement of giving my photos to my friends and family. This video is amazing!
I would hang it in my living room to constantly be remembered to improve my own photography skill and see what passion one day can lead to.
“Oh look another picture of New York that’s black and white and *GASP* THE CABS ARE YELLOW...”
Me: Awkwardly looks at a print on my wall that fits that exact description 😭😭😭
Past couple years, I have really gotten into photography. Invested into a rebel T5, invested in many lenses, then upgrades to a T5i, watched many videos on TH-cam to learn, took pretty stunning images that I myself love and my followers enjoyed, but then I slowly went out less and less but wanted to get back into it more and more. Your channel is really motivating me to get back out there, and even start printing the work I like. It was a hobby that really brought an artistic side out in me that I never knew I had and I need to really rekindle that and you're helping me do so
I had never really thought of why it is so important to actually print out your work. Thank you Peter. I learn so much from your stuff man. Appreciate ya
I recently began watching your your amazing videos and they have inspired me so much!! I was struggling to find a hobbie that i would enjoy doing, but when I watched your vids, I instantly knew what I was looking for. you are now a HUGE inspiration to me, and I would love to have one of your prints hangging on my bedroom wall!!
I'd love this picture to remind myself to be more authentic! I have a job that I'm not too passionate about and I'm working on following my dreams. So I gotta conquer that mountain. Love your work Peter!
Excellent video!! I agree! I print a lot for clients but almost never for myself. I would hang that beautiful print on the wall at the foot of my bed. Every morning I wake up I would see it and it would remind me of the peace and accomplishment I feel when I reach the top. Never focus on the valley, focus on the peak!!
Thanks for an awesome channel man!
Pete, id love this. Your enthusiasm and passion in this space on this platform is unmatched. I’d happily hang one of your prints in my lounge room. We just purchased our first home so it really needs something to make it complete. :) Thank you mate!
I can't imagine why there are people who "dislike" this video. Thanks Peter for reminding us photogs to print our work once in a while!
Sarah Le use your head. Needs to be remind of breathing. Girl whats wrong with you
Sarah Le haters baby
Because his fake coolness is extremely irritating, that’s why.
@@HowardOchs fake coolness cause you're a lazy jealous old guy that doesn't mean there aren't people in the world who are passionate about their work and love to talk about 😐
@@HowardOchs yo what does that even mean
I'm a 17 yo beginner photographer, and I am inspired by your work and I'll be glad that one of your photos will be hanging in my room for inspiration and ambition.
harel damari ok?
I have always loved getting my photos printed for all the reasons you said. I especially enjoy giving them as gifts to my family and seeing them in their home.
Film photography was one of my favourite classes! I loved the development process and seeing that final print and learning from my mistakes. Completing a print gave me a sence of accomplishment! And I like giving prints to others to enjoy! I plan to print more of my digital images! And I also plan to clear out the little dark room off the side of my grandmas garage at some point! Thanks for this vid man!
Hey Peter, greetings from Germany! I am a 17 years old student, and an ambitious pianist. I would love to hang up your photo right above my piano because when I am playing the piano I am starring at a white wall, which is kind of depressing ;). Deal: it would be cool, if you sent me a sheet of a favorite piano- piece... I could learn and record it, just so that you could use it for any B-rolls ;)
Having a bad day and wanted some vintage PM. Been in kind of a rut with my photography. Thanks Peter.
I just recently started printing my photos and stumbled upon this video. Really enjoyed watching it, and the enthusiasm you have is contagious! It's definitely a different side of photography and I've printed some photos which I had to re-edit and re-print. My first photo turned out really nice though, it was a black and white mountain shot, printed on metallic paper. I was so excited to see it, get it framed professionally, and hang up in my living room
100% agree Peter. You are such a great influence to young photographers, help us old dinosaurs of the photography industry bring printing back to life.
I’m a photographer myself and I tend to print my images and hang and give away as well thanks for the video
Hi,
OK, I'm convinced - printing photos is important. Do you have a tutorial about printing?
Love your videos. They are full of positive energy and amazing content. I'm so inspired. Being a beginner, it is easy to feel lost or sometime unmotivated after a little while. Watching videos like yours helps lift me up.
This message is SOOOO powerful and bedrock-fundamental (for me) it pops every time I open my browser (& still does in 2020).
Doubt you'll ever read this Pete but on the off-chance - HUGE HUGEST THANKS man for this vid. I can totally NOT overstate it's importance and power. 12/10 man! Free mentoring = EPIC! Thank YOU !!!!
Hey Peter!I'm 15 yr from Bulgaria.I started about a year ago doing photography and mostly filmmaking. You've been a huge inspiration for me and tought me so many things that really helped me progress a lot! It'll be great to have that memory from you on my wall,watching it and inspiring me every day! I never win these kind of things tho :/
@Peter McKinnon : Hey Peter, I think AlexanderPK should get your photos, I gave my vote for him! :) Thank you.
Thank you! Hope you have a nice day! :-)
AlexanderPK I believe you will win this time man! Stay positive! :))
I don't really need it so I hope you get it kid. Looking forward to the things you'll achieve!
Always be positive Alexander.....remove the thought of never winning...it means you've accepted not winning and you will never win anything with that vibration already coming out from you...so relax and open yourself to receive....my vote for you too!
thank you thank you thank you Peter, you're awesome, because of you I started taking good pictures, and I really would have something from you... ❤❤❤
You inspired me to pick up a old point and shoot camera just to take it out of auto mode. Than I seen your video about B&H. That made me drive from Wisconsin to B&H and buy a Cannon 77d. Love it. Now your inspiring me to print my photos. Thanks P.M. you've gotten me interested in something and it's my new hobby. Love it.
Hello from 2022! 5 years later and found this video at exactly the right time. Ive been debating getting a printer (ive been having others print and ship to me for a year). And your darkroom explanation got me right in the feels. The two parts of photography.
Dear Peter,
Send the photo to me and here is why. I want to post it on my roof because people usually post stuff on their walls and look at it eye level. I want to wake up and when i look at the roof...BAM!!! A awesome display of what i will use my day to work towards...better photography. The sky is the limit!! (or space if you want to be technical) I cant wait to see that eagle you promised the winner👌👌
Oliver Sky I think mean ceiling instead of roof
Oliver Sky yeah
Albi Doo THE CEILING IS THE ROOF!
Joan Avilez The ROOF is outdoors and the CEILING is indoors!
Albi Doo woah woah woah take it easy man just quoting Michael Jordan here
New to your channel and I enjoy you very much.
I am looking to get back into photography. I love printing, so if it were up to me I'd say bring back acetate film and darkrooms. I think a person has a different and deeper understanding about the art of photography and light when you do your own printing, especially darkroom work, and especially in black & white. I love digital also, and both have there drawbacks and benefits, however, printing your work takes you to another place, whether it's from a computer printer, or in a darkroom. (More so the the latter). Like expanding your consciousness.
A true photographer has to understand their own work and in order to do that you have to print it. I'm not saying everything, but you gotta do some printing.
A true photographer takes photos he/she cares about
Why u love printing
Im a beginner and I print my own stuff then frame it and hang it up on my walls. I find people enjoy viewing my stuff and I too enjoy viewing my favorite photos. Kinda brings me back to when the photo was taken. Peter as usual great info
Couldn't agree with you more! Not only do I print my own work for my home, but I've started laminating them myself. That's where it crosses over from being a photograph to a work of art. Keep up the good work!
I have a massive white wall in my room! that's where the pic will live. Love that snowy mountain so much 😍
Hey Peter! I would love that print because otherwise I'll go buy a print from IKEA...
Okay, not really. In all honesty, I wasn't going to leave a comment, but then I saw the print. My fiance and I are highly considering a move to the mountains where we can have a cozy house somewhere that actually snows and where we can snowboard. I'm currently working hard, in and out of college, to make that dream a reality, and hanging that print above my workstation will motivate and remind me every day why I'm doing this.
good luck! i hope you get it. great channel btw
+ Historical America Thank you!
" I would love that print because otherwise I'll go buy a print from IKEA..." LOL, hahhahahahahhahahahah
I hope you get it! But either way,I pray all your goals may come to fruition 🙌
This is a nice comment, thanks for sharing. Good luck to you ! I actually hope you win the photograph haha :)
I absolutely love your enthusiasm for your photography and making it your own as in printing your work. I love your work. Thank you so much for the inspiration!!!! ❤️
Hey Peter,, love your videos and energy man. I’m looking to begin my passion for photography this year and find your channel to be so informative and helpful for everyone from beginner to master level. Keep up the greatness dude! From Lubbock, Texas
Hey Pete... totally new to this field and have been subscribed and following you since beginning my research. You are extremely knowledgeable as well as motivating in the subject. I love your perspective and approach to topics and your willingness to relate to your beginnings. I enjoy your artistic eye and sense of style with your imagery! I wish I had been subscribed and following sooner as I would've loved the opportunity to have a chance to hang a piece of your work in my home. My fiance and I are beginning our cinema-graphic journey and we'll be following you along the way the entire time!! Thank you again for your time and effort in producing these videos.. again they are very informative and extremely useful! Keep up the amazing work and god bless!
J. Coder I'm just doing the same! Good luck J
YES so consistent with this awesome stuff! You teach me so much Peter :)
THANKS DUDE!!
You have helped me in so many ways to be true to myself and believe in myself to get out there and create. Whenever I get stuck or want to bring something to life I go right to your page and watch you do your work. Your personality and creative ideas get me out of it. So I would put that painting right about my computer where I edit and create so whenever I need inspiration I just have to look at it and know I can do it!
I always print my favourite photos... not because they're technical marvels but because my favourite photos remind me of amazing things that me and my closest friends have been through. A good photo doesn't need to look amazing, it just needs to make you feel good. I have some horrendous looking photos that make me smile every time I look at them because the situation they came from is just an amazing memory that I'm going to cherish forever.
This year i'm moving in town, Montréal to be exact, with my two best friends. We are all into photography and we're gonna need to fill our new appartment walls. Im going to concordia University to study photography (Where I will actually have some color and black and white film course, also digital print!) and I really wanna start pushing myself and aim toward that professional career I dream of, and know I can achieve IF I put in the hard work. Seeing your print everyday on my wall would be a good reminder and motivation to keep grinding!
Frédéric T. Leblanc congrats Montréal is an awesome city 😀👍
Go for it! It's something that's so satisfying once you get it right. And good luck at Concordia! Montreal is a beautiful city and perfect for taking all kinds of photos.
Thanks guys! And yes the city is awesome, I already live in the suburb area and go quite often, so now im taking it a step further!
Hey Peter! If you send me that print, I'll put it right over my bed ON THE CEILING! That's right, not a conventional place for a picture, but most definitely the place I want it. Every morning, I'll wake up and and look at a reminder that I need to create more, work harder, and make better content!
My Epson 1400 printer is almost 9 yrs old now. I keep it healthy by printing a 5x7, trying to get it right, about once a week. Having the prints around gives me ideas and I learn things. Eventually I've hit upon sneaking them into library books when I return them. By that means they go out into the world somewhere, or into a circular file. The prints look great off the screen, where they belong.
Great work Peter.
I totally agree, I just sold my first print and its the first time I've ever got a photo printed and there is something to it!
Hey Peter! I'm a very nooby youtuber but want to pursue a career in photography or videography. I would love to have that print because I will most likely hang it in my room in hopes that one day I can be able to travel and vlog my adventures in places other than Florida. Thanks for all the inspiration! YOU'RE AWESOME!
This is so true. I shoot on a 35mm nikon FM2. Love that shit. Getting in the dark room where everything smells like piss and vinegar! haha. You get so much more from your photos. the wrinkled paper and everything. I feel like when you shoot on film and print in the dark room it elevates your photography from a simple medium of documenting and capturing image to a form of art in itself! great vid.
I'm watching this just after buying my very own photo printer, I'm excited and happy that what you're saying is representing my beliefs :) I have hard time sometimes talking with other photographers, who don't even feel the need or curiosity of printing their work.
Just started printing and it’s been educational how few images I would want to print or have hung on a wall. Scary but part of my journey and growth.
In the room to inspire the love in the future of the most important thing..
That print is so freaking awesome it’s beautiful I wish u can make more recent videos cuz u really inspire me to keep on pushing forward to be a photographer I really whant to better my life ass well as my career as a photographer thank u Peter
Hey Peter! It is so nice of u to offer that kind of print.
The reason I would love to have a photo of yours hanging on my wall is that every time I see it, it would remind me to become a great creative and mind blowing professional photographer like you are, and whenever there are hard times on the way it will keep me motivated and will remind me to keep printing the photos so that they are authentic as you see iT!!!
Sincerely.
You are right ! Now get to work and make a detailed tutorial about how you edit for print, including color profiles. Detailed and foolproof. Thank you ;)

After many years of not printing pictures this video prompted me to print 2 11x14's and gift them to my father. Thanks Peter.
Mountains have been a new theme for my fam this year!! As a family, we've been hiking a lot this year !!! I'd love to hang that right in front of my son's room (he just turned 2) where it will show in my living room and main entrance (condo lol) !! It'll be such good inspiration for bettering my photo skills and setting our sights on something incredible! Love your channel thanks for all the tips!
your content literally inspired me to get back into making photography and videography content
Details of that quilted chair - Please!!!! London Loves You!🇬🇧
I'm so glad I watched this. I've been thinking about how to decorate our sad, bare bedroom walls and this seems like a wonderful motivation to get back into photography.
Love the gesture. It will hang it proud in my living room and will hopefully it start me printing and framing my own photos.
Damn you look more amazing than in future you really have great style taste your hair your beard don't know why TH-cam is recommending me your old video when I haven't missed even your one new video I guess it's suggesting me to try this look too
When you're so fast to click that notification button the HD video isn't even available yet
Having just bought my first photo printer, I really can stress out how right you are :) It kind of makes photografi magical
Just started printing my own work for my first ever exhibition (yay). It’s completely reenergized my love of photography
Hey Peter, I want to buy a printer and this vid showed up on TH-cam. So I watched it a second time. I think the 1e time was 3 years ago :p
What printer(s) would you recommend 2020-2021?
Don't know if you still read comments of old vids.
The only youtuber left in the Canon empire.
I love printing in the dark room, we have one at college and its so much fun to be able to play around with how long lights affect the paper or dripping developer over the paper
I'm a year and a half late to the party here, but just wanted to say I totally feel ya on printing your photo work. I've been printing mine for the last couple years, and have them hung up all over the house. Additionally, I've sold some of my prints and shipped them out to a few people across the U.S. Knowing that someone else had enough interest in my photography work to order custom prints of it leaves me with an amazing feeling. No amount of likes on IG can come close to that feeling, and I think more people need to experience that sorta thing.
