Pete! this was a great video! not only because Garrett (by the way I recommend his DVLOP photo course, I learned a lot from it!) but also because it covered so much in a very nice and easy going conversation. I'm sure the 50K will grow quickly. One of my go to lenses is actually the 50mm kit 1.8 lens from the EOSRP and I like it, but that 1.2 would be amazing!
I love the fact that Peter McKinnon a story creator is showing and telling the story of other story creators; the enjoyment, fun, and vibe that is evoked in these vids lately idk just loving them!
Been a photographer for years and my main focus was trying to grow on Instagram all those years and it became draining and had me second guessing if I even loved photography, had to take a step back and learn there are so many other ways to gain clients and eyes and at the end of the day I’m only gonna find peace and grow doing it for myself 🤝🏽
strangely, instragram played a major role in getting me INTO photography. And I could see nice, steady growth socially and also growth in my skills over time with more and more practice. But now insta has almost totally died to me. The love for photography is still in me, but I often don't feel like lifting a finger anymore with this app because it is not worth it at all. I HOPE they decide at some point to stop trying to be a tiktok.
@@eneafinch8895 honestly couldn’t have said it better myself, now that I look back Instagram definitely played a huge role in my interest in it . Truly but like how you feel It just is damn near dead to me now man
Needed to see this video honestly. Been wracking my brain on figuring out how to grow on IG and after following Garrett for years now and hearing him say all this, it's such a great reminder on why I pursued photography/videography in the first place: personal growth, not business growth. Gonna stick to what makes me happy and fulfilled, instead of the algorithm. Thank you Peter
absolutely love this style of video. When you capture insane shots, then just show them to us immediately. I don't have to click to instagram or anything
Shortstache will forever be the goat. However, I've given up trying to grow on instagram and instead have been focusing on growing my business. As a photographer they are not one and the same. There are hundreds of other ways to attract a loyal and devoted following than using Instagram. I would argue that it's actually more of a distraction at this point.
@@zachvinan213 Oh for sure. Start by searching TH-cam for "how to grow your business without social media." There's some great books on this but one overlooked gem is "Guerilla Marketing" by Jay Conrad Levinson. It all comes down to dominating your local area. Having a website and a portfolio with some solid business cards is money in your pocket. Personally reach out to serve businesses and other creators in your niche. Give away quick brand shoots or host events to create content. From my experience no one successful in the photo industry started without that as a base. Heck, even Peter started in the wedding industry.
Ah Pete, the colors are super funky on this video and on many recent ones. Skin tones are sooo orange and the colors are way over saturated. Used to love your colors. Especially interviewing someone famous for their tones it is especially incongruous.
Long overdue to for shortstache to get some shine on a huge channel. I wish he'd go hard on TH-cam with his channel because he would break 1m subs easily. One of the best photographers alive
I like how he said, technically correct. Photography is a type of art, art is subjective there’s no right or wrong just some guidelines we should follow but don’t have to
Absolutely love the fact that you meet up with other creators I've not heard of and ask them questions the way you do! Really engaging! It could be a new thing you do, and it might kick-off!
I really love seeing new photographers (new to me) on this channel. It's rad to see Pete grow and then give some of his growth to his peers and buddies. Immaculate vibes.
Shorts ta he is by far one of my favorite. This manz is very soft spoken, down to earth and overall amazing human. Pete please bring our more of these kinda style!!! Also the 50 1.2 would be a dream come true
Love when you introduce people on your channel and give me someone new to follow. ShortStache (Garret) you have a new follower from Ohio! Just switch from Sony to a CanonR6 and bought the nifty fifty RF to have some native glass. Great lens and am loving this range. I’m usually that 85-105 portrait type guy but lately love how using this with portraits is giving me more environmental in my shots! Great video as always Peter!! Matti those drone shots were sick!!!
The way Shortstache portrays his messages is mesmorising. My favourite lens is also 50mm, been shooting with the Zeiss 55 1.8 since day one and just love the depth and focal length all together! Awesome video, thanks guys.
One of the very rare videos where you know it's all authentic. You can see and feel all of the wholeseome gestures and interactions with everybody on the video. This video was/is great, man. Blessings to all of you🙏🏽🙌🏽😎
I have been following since ages, tho I admit not constantly. You're the first to inspire me the most through my path within professional photography in the last year, at age of 36. And, writing this message to you now for the first time I think. Thanks for your amazing content creation adding immense value to this platform. Ciao😘
Learned a ton of stuff about photography and Instagram in 6-7 min. That's the thing I love about Peter McKinnon videos there's so much information, and things to learn from the small timespan. I think he leaned how to do that by the 2 min Tuesday 😅❤️
jeeesuzzz this is the content i want to see !!! Content creators linking with content creators just doing their thing in a cinematic fashion. HELL YEA!!
Man!!! So cool to see Pete, Matti, and the crew on the Westcoast 🤘🏻🤘🏻. I feel like finding and maintaining a style is the hardest part of creating. Like Garett said, it’s really easy to see the trends and try and chase them. The real skill comes from sticking to something you love and mastering it!
We’re photographers that have lived here for 3 years (originally from Toronto) and rain or shine shoots get done and we love the contrast and never ending beautiful scenery we have here!
This is why I watch every video to the very end. Firstly: discovered a new photographer (rad) but ALSO bumped into a most excellent opportunity to get a 50mm lens from the man himself. Legendary. Just… legendary.
Tofino has some of the best waves Ive been on, absolutely loved the community there, they accept everyone and really try to help you. Water is cold but crisp! 10/10
I watch every PM video I never comment but when you see your 2 favorites artist get together in the same video it’s impossible not to. Garrett King is the reason I purchased a camera Peter is the reason I shoot videos. Garrett was selling his Sigma 24 1.4 E-mount lens a couple years ago. As soon as I saw it I messaged him with a question about the lens. He answered almost immediately. I got my funds in order and messaged him the next day to see if it was still available and it was gone. Wish I would have been quicker. That lens would be on a shelf like a trophy. It’s awesome to see you two to incredible creatives together for the first time. I thank both of you for pulling me into what is now my favorite thing to do!
Hearing from shortstache was great, couldn't agree more. On a social media hiatus, not sure if I'll come back. I have to say, needed this video. Definitely agree with Shortstache on a lot. I'm glad it's not a bad thing.
Already love it!! Peter thanks for everything you do. Keep bringing the videos. Number 1 Fan😂.. You have inspired me to start my channel.. 60k subs and going STRONG!! Thanks for everything 😁🙌
Done here from Phillipines! I love his style in photography its just a whole lot another level, Mr.Peter's contents are detailed as always and its fun to watch.
The put were shortstache was talking about the boardwalk scene. Made me tear up it's so beautiful. And it made me think of why I fall in love with photography. He's got a good eye
Been following Garett for quite some time (you too Peter lol) and like many have said time and time again, the in-between shots and that signature edit will always be a differentiator.... Love both of your works as they've helped me grow in my photography ... Keep inspiring ! mcuh love from Virginia!
Incredible content video! The personal vibes and real photographer talk about what they like and use was wonderful to hear. The stand out conversation was about be a master of shooting at all times of the day. Not just golden hour.
I think that’s the video everyone was waiting for ! Nice interview and experience shared from one of the mystical creators out there . Thanks for this and the so calming footage in this video. Love it
Still mind blown that you and matti where in tofino in the same places the same time as I was on some days off, feels like a brush with greatness. Side note, Garret is a 10/10, totaly following.
That is so true. The fact that people are so busy making stupid nonsense reels and forgetting the art of telling a story with just one frame just breaks Instagram.
Liked the video before the 50mm 1.2 giveaway announcement. Now I want to like it again. Thanks for showing us photographers that you personally love. Definitely inspiring to see.
Thanks for the new profile, shortstache :) - Give that man a follow!
Been following him long time ;)
done 👌
Done and done! Love that you’re giving these legends a platform buddy. Keep it up
So stoked that you guys teamed up!
Pete! this was a great video! not only because Garrett (by the way I recommend his DVLOP photo course, I learned a lot from it!) but also because it covered so much in a very nice and easy going conversation. I'm sure the 50K will grow quickly. One of my go to lenses is actually the 50mm kit 1.8 lens from the EOSRP and I like it, but that 1.2 would be amazing!
Shortstache is one of the best photographers Ever. So stoked to see him on this channel.
hell yea his tones are absolute badass
He’s yes
So stoked that you're so stoked 😋
😍😍😍
Is the best*
"Everyone's trying so hard to fit into the same box. To me, art has always been standing outside the box." 🙌🏻❤
Perfectly stated
I love the fact that Peter McKinnon a story creator is showing and telling the story of other story creators; the enjoyment, fun, and vibe that is evoked in these vids lately idk just loving them!
The second surf day was better 😂 Still the dream to become a surfer
The crusty waves man 😂
Gotta love the FPV shots. They're always so Matti hahah
🔥🚀✨️
you are awesome with you FPV drone
What is the black jacket you wear, seen it before in your vids but can't find it anywhere

You couldn’t have said it better 👍🏼 👏🏻
Literally felt like I typed this myself’s. What I’ve been focusing on aswel
I feel you mehn 🤙
Do you have any tips on how to start a business for an amateur photographer? Im trying to grow on instagram to help but I hop on and see this lol

I really appreciated Shortstache advice and his style is really a vibe. I followed his page as you recommended and thanks for featuring him.
So happy to see Garrett on here. Been following him for a while, and he's one of my favorite photographers of all time.

I love Garret’s philosophy on shooting in any environment/weather condition, and lighting condition. I feel the exact same way.
Shortstache is my number 1 inspiration when it comes to Photography. super love this episode Peter.
OMG tofino!! I live on the island and hope you guys had the best time! So cool seeing footage from here on your channel!
Love this! Been following Shortstache´s work for at least 2 years now.

Authentic, intuitive, quality, dramatic, informative, fun, peaceful, solid. Well done!
Thanks for the introduction to shortstache. His work is amazing! And this vid gave me a whole new way of looking at photography. Very inspirational.
Hearing from shortstache was great, couldn't agree more. On a social media hiatus, not sure if I'll come back. I have to say, needed this video. Definitely agree with Shortstache on a lot. I'm glad it's not a bad thing.
The footage in this video brought many smiles to my face. Nice to see the boys back together again too!

I can’t get over his page. new favourite photographer
Tofino is a truly magical place. I went to a floating yurt/sauna there and I still talk about it years later. Unreal footage.
Done here from Phillipines! I love his style in photography its just a whole lot another level, Mr.Peter's contents are detailed as always and its fun to watch.
Very inspererande, so cool when Matti goes crazy with the FPV. Garrett is, yeah!
It's really cool that you use your platform to help other creators. That's why I follow you. much continued success.

What a fantastic philosophical conversation throughout the video. I loved it :) Thank you for putting this out!
Quality video again, so captivating to watch.
Love the guests you bring on this channel. Super inspiring!

"Everyone is trying to fit into the same box". That is a very accurate description of Instagram.
This is my favourite type of content. Healthy mix of personality, education, and camaraderie :) swell job Pete
Incredible content video! The personal vibes and real photographer talk about what they like and use was wonderful to hear. The stand out conversation was about be a master of shooting at all times of the day. Not just golden hour.
Good to see Peter back with inspiring people. Keep up to make the content like this. Oh, Hi, shortstache! You've got a follower from Bali!
I think that’s the video everyone was waiting for ! Nice interview and experience shared from one of the mystical creators out there . Thanks for this and the so calming footage in this video. Love it
It’s like watching a documentary unreal quality!
Still mind blown that you and matti where in tofino in the same places the same time as I was on some days off, feels like a brush with greatness.
Side note, Garret is a 10/10, totaly following.
That little Q&A/tips part at the end... Loved it.
No word to explain the excitement once I get Peter notifications
That is so true. The fact that people are so busy making stupid nonsense reels and forgetting the art of telling a story with just one frame just breaks Instagram.
Love that feel of the 50mm allows alot of creation and depth so easy.
Watching your videos always gives me a boost to get take some photos. You literally taught me everything I know about photography so thank you!
What an inspiring thoughts by shortstache. Thanks you peter for bring insightful people. We are definitely learning and growing, through your videos.
Awesome video demonstrating that everyone has their own skill set and artistic style!
Very cool! Thanks for shining the light on some more inspiration! Gotta dig out that 50 now!
😁👍👍ahhh Wet Coast, welcome back?🇨🇦 Love bingin Pete! 👍👍😁😥🇨🇦
I just adore Shortstache's colours, just incredible.
Man I just bought my R6 & it drained me so a 50MM 1.2 would be a DREAM. Thank you doing this & followed!
I'm in love with his work for so long❤️
Two of my favorite creatives together, so stoked and inspired! Thank you gents
Shortstache is actually really good, love his work fr
I love how Matti & Pete exchanged FPV footage for thumbnail/pfp 😂
Liked the video before the 50mm 1.2 giveaway announcement. Now I want to like it again. Thanks for showing us photographers that you personally love. Definitely inspiring to see.
Followed. Really enjoyed his advice concerning Instagram. Whether being out of the box or being in it-be genuine.
Ugh this was so dang good! Shorstache was one of the very first photographers I followed on Instagram. He's so dang good. Great video!
I love these types of vids. Pete you’ve turned me onto some pretty rad photographers with these videos. Following the Stache!!!
Great Creative Video, Excellent Photography, Excellent Tips and Advice. Thank You.
Good video guys! Been following Garret for a few years already, such an inspiring photographer. 🔥
