Editing Your Way To Success

Which part resonates the most?

I really can’t get behind guys that rant so much about other people’s way of doing things to validate themselves. Editing is a beautiful process and a craft in itself. ❤

I don't think the main skill of a photographer is the technical expertise, but the pattern recognition. A good photographer is a master at pattern recognition!

10:47 Viewing yourself as a "dork" because you shoot with a certain piece of equipment sounds like a serious lack of self confidence in your abilities. And it sets a bad precedent to new photographers who will view their work as "dorky" just because they aren't using a specific camera

When he said he felt like a dork holding the mirrorless camera kinda bothered me, not gonna lie. It’s the individuals unique eye that really makes the difference. There’s room for everyone to shoot any type of camera or medium 😊

I get a lot of compliments on my editing. Years of experience and failing at other editing jobs already, until I finally just started working for myself and my own passions. It’s paying off!

Digital photography has opened the door for so many new, great photographers. To lessen that seems a bit disingenuous. Film photography was always a fairly expensive pursuit and today the cost of film and developing it is even more so. On the cheap end it costs between $18-25 to buy and process a roll of film- 36 pictures. Having learned on and shot film, most of those pictures (as careful and slow as you are) are not usable- even with post processing- which virtually all photographers do. If you end up with a photo which touches people, does matter if it was shot on film, digital or fixed in post? I think not. Being critical of digital shooters and the process risks coming off as arrogant. I respect these photographers and like this video. However it did have an air of film superiority which I hope was more enthusiasm than intention. Keep being creative and keep shooting!!

Been a photographer since 1981. I shoot both film and digital or whatever camera I have nearby (I have them in my car in both the front and back seats) in my gym bag, on each floor of my home and in my office. All with film or memory card ready to go at a moments notice. "Art is everywhere" is so true. I like to tell people that "I photograph nouns" and each of those "Nouns" has a story or an expression that connects me to it through photos. I doesn't matter what the camera is as long as I have a chance to make it part of me for a few moments to connect, then it's the right camera.

I mean the fact that Peter’s last two videos were shot on pocket 3 is awesome man.

I love how Peter just lets his colabs or guests just be themselves. It’s a little dangerous though cuz this guy while talented comes off as a dork. 🤪

"Art is everywhere" Amen.

I love this new style of your content Pete... it's like a Photography podcast without sitting down.

I get it. Having started shooting @1970 doing everything with distinct purpose and over the years moving "up" to a R6Mkii I recently got bored feeling "lazy" in the process! I recently sold it and all my RF lenses I had adapted to it and am back to my manual film cameras and my M10 with an assortment of glass which I shoot everything manually in RAW. No regrets, being retired all I have is time, I want to enjoy it doing what moves me. Carry on young buck, never stop learning!

Whenever I'm not feeling well I watch "the bucked shot"... it always makes me stand up 💪🥰🥰🥰

Fixing in post is so 2019. Fix it with AI is the way to go 🤪

Garrett just has a different eye than pretty much any photographer I know. His creativity and the art he makes is unbelievably inspiring!

Garrett King is quickly becoming one of my favorite photographers. The guy is bold and adventurous in his approach to the art form.

"Art is everywhere". Powerful and truthful statement. Couldn't agree more.

Nothing is imperfect, every failure is a new chapter, so no one is lazy.😊

People editing their way to success is a punch line. Dude is so inspirational, watching this video has made me think about so many things. Thank you, Peter and team.
