Lookbook
Melbourne based activewear company, Active Creatures, have been a long term client of Peter’s. He was their first photographer, and they still continue to use him for every collection they release.
In this 3 hour photoshoot, we completed look book plus editorial shots. Have your pen and paper ready!!!! There are so many tips and information in this tutorial that will help you with clients – all things Peter has learnt throughout his career.
Clients love and trust him because of his experience and how much knowledge he has which minimises problems during the shoot, or after. And when there is a problem, Peter is able to tackle them effortlessly.
Take note of Peter continually communicating with the client about visuals, asking if she likes things, explaining and continually educating her as a client to make sure the final product is something she loves, something that represents her brand and something that both photographer and client can create to be a successful campaign.
Followed by 2 tutorials is an interview with the client. We discuss how she found Peter, her experience working with a photographer for the first time and how Peter helped her, the difference she found when using somebody else, what she expects as a client, what photographers can do to make the clients job easier, and what a photographer can do to create a successful campaign.
The clients interview is honest, informative and completely unscripted – Enjoy and if you have any questions for Peter, the client or myself, please leave a comment below!
I would like to thank Mel and Cam for allowing us to film their photoshoot & their hard work. They are wonderful people, Peter and I are very grateful to have clients like them that are trusting and bring me puppies to play with at work!!!

Rozie! How many outfits were shot for the lookbook?
Enjoy Thailand xx
Yo! There were 8 items in total to shoot. This was a small ‘mini collection’ rather than a whole season. It is very hard to give an approx. time to shoot each item, some take 1 minute, others can take 15 minutes. We always encourgae our clients to take their time during lookbook to make sure every garment it sitting perfectly – It is difficult/impossible to retouch fabric or make things sit perfectly. Retouching a crease wuld cost the client more too!
Thank you so much Rozieeee 😀
Is Rozie saying you are aiming for 215 as RGB values for the background lighting before using the softbox in front? Will this ensure hair is not pixelated? Many thanks.
not going over 250
250 then when all lights are setup. Thanks!
