A Fly-On-The-Wall With Peter And RaRa
This tutorial with Peter and RaRa was shot to show you how these two awesome people work together, giving you a fly-on-the-wall perspective rather than Peter explaining every step of his process. It was a sunny summer day and we wen up to the abandoned Olinda golf course, the light didn’t change much so Peter could really focus on nailing the shot rather than his technical settings.

Great idea. Nice to watch your team work!
Absolutely wonderful Rara, very expressive and great photographer.
Thank you for sharing as many inspire me greatly .
Love the Fly On The Wall ones!!!! More!!! 2 a month!!! 🙂
Thanks yes we are going to do more, we have had great feedback
Love this format and the flow of your work.
Great teamwork and amazing images as usual.
Thank you
Beautiful work!!!
Can you talk more about the angle of the light
I was trying to get RaRa into a position that the light was bouncing off the grass and the light that was coming into her was predominantly coming straight up into her face rather than coming from above. I’ll send you a video on Volley to what I mean 🙂
Thanks for the great content, would love to see more fly on the wall tutorials. Carry on the good work Peter and Co
Thanks heaps, more coming soon 🙂
Great idea, just a question about people wandering in, the guy in hi viz just walked through but do you any just stop and watch or enquiry, as this will probably make the model uncomfortable as well as kill the vibe.
Anyone coming close will kill the vibe but the quicker they leave the quicker we get the vibe back. Most people head off pretty quickly when they see we’re working
Awesome as per.
What I really wanted to comment is, you have ruined colour for me. I did a shoot the other day, from which the subject wanted images also. I found it so hard not to make all the images black and white. I had to force myself to leave some in colour so the model could use the pictures for her Instagram…
Sorry for that I have the same problem, but every now and then I do a colour photo I love and it looks crap in B&W
Recent member and really enjoying the videos so far. 2 questions if I may.
1) would I be correct in assuming you are shooting aperture priority on the Sony when outdoors? I know how vast the light intensity can change in Oz so I would assume this allows you to focus on the content? (The Blad too maybe?)
2) once you have you killer shot plus whatever the model wants what do you do with the excess material? Keep it on file ‘just in case’, archive it or trash it to save HD space? I reckon you must take 3-500 images per outdoor shoot, so I’m just curious if you feel there’s a ‘need’ to keep them?
I’m enjoying these fly on the wall vids, thanks team for putting them out there.
Hi Bob, 1) no I never use anything but manual for exposure because I don’t want the camera changing my exposure based on the foreground and background and not the light. see https://inspire.peter-coulson.com.au/workshops/lighting/exposure-and-colour/exposure-pt-2?v=3a1ed7090bfa
2) I save every shot in a backup drive at the studio, then I have a working hard drive and another backup drive at my home office that only have my favourite images from the shoot.
Hi Peter, I see you focusing manually in many videos. Do you have a video about how you do it or can you make one about it?
Hi Steffen, yes I have this video on focusing https://inspire.peter-coulson.com.au/workshops/stylist-hair-make-up/focus/focus I hope it helps you
