Had an absolute BLAST Making this!! Definitely go check out more of Peter Andrew's work - you won't regret it! (link in description)
Darn it! You were first!
Hello sir big fan learn so much from you ✌🏻❤️
great, now i'm looking at my tripods, c stands, and my R5 and figuring out the budget version of this... loved every second, such amazing work!!
Great ONE buddy 😉😁
I have to say, my father died about a year ago in his late 50's and this has inspired me to go through his stuff and find the things he used to wear when I was young and still did before his death. I still can imagine the smell of his cologne.
My dad used to be an engineer at a company that made digital scan-backs for medium format cameras. The product they made was meant to replace the film caddy with a digital scanner. At the time the scanner was capable of 140 MP and could be attached to many film 4x5 format cameras. The files it would produce were upwards of 1 GB in size at full resolution and full color depth. Those scan-backs were so good that they were used to make "fake" replicas of famous art for museums. They were also used in crime scene documentation as well as super high resolution product photography. The company my dad worked at was doing this back in the early 2000's and it's what inspired me to be a photographer. Unfortunately that company isn't around anymore but I learned a lot from being an observer of the birth of that technology.
Would you by any chance know how to attach a scanner to a 4x5 camera?
Hi David could you please share the company's name? Regards.
this is amazing
cool!
lightphase? I remember using those.. R.G.B scanning backs on Sinar P1. and those acra rails..
Let's give a special shout out to KZhead Compression. Cheers. LOL
All that hard work, and KZhead just decides to take a crap on the final product. Thanks KZhead!
Squint your eyes a bit while shaking your head. Makes the compression artifacts less visible. 😂
Can’t escape it unfortunately, I hate compression🥲
I’m fairness, there’s more than a couple of videos on KZhead’s database
Render and upload it in 8K even if the source is 4K. You get much more bitrate at 8K so it still looks better
I LOVE photography but am SUCH a noob still to this day even though, I subbed years ago and have learned so much since then. Videos like this are just so eye opening to what is possible! Though, this video is more then just the camera, its about getting to a spot in your life where you can remember your dad in GREAT detail through your career. Amazing job!
I feel like you would love Karl Taylor’s channel. He blows my mind like this but for lighting. Had no idea what was possible until then!
youre still a "noob" because you watch this dude lmao
@@EazyRed and you're still a "miserable hater", so 🤷🏾♂️
@@apeshitclothing not really, his content is entertaining, i watch his stuff, but dont expect to actually learn much about photography since hes gone down the Money Flex route given current youtube trends, i still enjoy his stuff, been watching for years, but its not an education based channel much for the time being unless you want to learn about things the average person cant afford. lol, not a miserable person either, im in the navy making bank learning and forecasting weather stuff, so idk why youd think ide be miserable lmfao.
@@EazyRed Yeah I'm going to have to agree here. He took something really basic (focal stacking) and made it feel untouchable for the common person. I have used Helicon software for focal stacking for years. It's not very expensive, and it seriously could not be more simple to use. Literally dump the stack of pictures in there and hit go. Yes, you need to touch up a bunch of stuff afterwards, but that's just normal photoshop stuff. Macro photography is a ton of fun, and well worth it... and you can literally learn how to do it in an afternoon.
Wowowow that was incredible
I think the main take away I got from this is when peter M said "but they look perfect you would never know" peter A "I can still see it." Doesnt matter how good you are at your craft you will always see the imperfections of the things you have created. Even when no one else can.
We are our own worst critics. Unfortunately, that holds a lot of people back.
@@artenthusiast3201 This is so true, it's a ever lasting battle
well, actualy, when talking about photoshop retouching, its just the fact that you know exactly where you did the edits, so the awareness of it kicks right in when you look at your work and its like a kids game "do others see it or is it only me"
What's his channel name ?
Man I am an italian journalist running this small channel in Italy and all the curiosity and skills I developed as a filmmaker years ago came from you, you have been such an inspiration in my journey. And now, seeing you with this camera, ahah man, so envious (in a good way). This is the camera every photographer at some points would want to try out just cause it's so overkill to become legendary.
Gotta use that camera to photograph some chronic my man 🥵💨
The Phase One is amazing but honestly, there’s a lot of photographic applications it is not very good at. If you are doing this very high end, almost forensic style of photography it’s great. But you’re doing documentary/journalistic photography, sports, weddings, travel stuff, etc. it suffers. The Phase One is more of an F1 car than a Porsche.
What an incredible BEAST of a camera!! Stellar work Peter Andrew, such a tedious (and impressive) process for each photo.
This is probably one of my all time favorite videos you have done. It’s more of a documentary and I found this incredibly fascinating. Thank you.
Mind boggling. Brings a whole new dimension to Photography as art. Yes Camera looks insane and paired with the software the images are incredible. Your dad's watch is a great example. No way can you get this level with you 24-60MP camera. Not saying they won't look good but there you have the difference between Good/Great and outta of this world. Thanks Peter
Peter’s work is legend. I’ve been following him for a while. I’ve started dabbling with macro work like his and can’t wait to print a few of them. One of my first few prints will be of my late fathers tools that he used.
That's a great idea for your first print. I am sure you will do your father proud. Wishing you all the best.
Please keep this series going. Seeing portrait photography and now macro product photography has boosted my creative juices immensely!!!! Anyone else??
Nope because nobody uses giant cameras anymore 😂
Love these behind the scenes! Even though it's photography, it's so similar on set to pro video work. Each pro has their own unique process that differs just a bit from the next.
did you recognize my lil brother lol @hijoflacko
Its amazing to see you evolve over the years, Peter. Thank you so much for always being an inspiration to us.
and the evolution in hair! absolutely gorgeous Peter. Keep it growing! - As it get's impractically long you can wrap it up under a headscarf as the Sikhs do, they never cut their hair.
This video was absolutely incredible. Love that you’ve been venturing out with other creatives to show what goes into their art form. Total new appreciation for this kind of work 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is absolutely hypnotic. Love seeing levels of photography like this! It only makes us strive for more.
WE GOT THE OTHRR PETER ON? LET'S GOO! The focus stacking discussion and walkthrough had me glued to the screen 😭😭😭. I also loved that he borrowed the camera and still has to have a certain type of insurance on it. That's just wild. Thank you for sharing this PETE!
This was literally one of my favorite videos you’ve ever made. Fascinating
This was absolutely FASCINATING. Thanks for showing it, Peter!
I haven't felt this excited & inspired to try a new kind of photography in a long time. Thanks Peter & Peter!!
I love these kind of Artist Profiles that you're doing. Please keep making more content like this! Also I have one of those at work maybe I should take it out lol
Wow! The perfectionist looking for the perfect imperfections. Mind blown! Thank you for this awesome video. I think I’ll be really be taking more time with my photos.
Peter! This is so special! To have this picture of your dad's watch is incredible. I wish I had something like this to remember my dad by. ❤
I had the privilege of going to a Phase One & Capture One workshop in Cape Town, a few years ago. It was hosted by Photohire. And those cameras are just incredible. The amount of detail the capture, of course together with good lighting;) is out of this world!
This is absolutely lit! 🔥Love seeing the fire creative work using Phase One and Capture One together. 🚀
Peter this format is insane. I could binge this type of video all day keep doing this!!!!!
Thanks for sharing this video. The workflow, the choice of focus stacking and how it's done for this project, it all combines to a highly professional experience.
Man I love videos like this. It's so interesting and something I may never do in my life but I love learning about things like this! Thanks for taking us on this journey Peter!
I love your how creative and story focused your videos usually are. That being said, this might be my favourite video you’ve made so far. The details of the whole process to achieve the photo was akin to witnessing the detail in the photo itself.
Macro Photography is the reason why I picked up a camera. When I was studying Biology in college, I always wondered how they took the high detail photos of microscopic organisms until I saw a camera hooked up to a microscope. I was hooked from there.
Been watching you for years and got into photography and videography a few years ago but just got my first full frame canon! Absolute blast and have learned sooo much from youuu thanks for ur work
Wow we had goosebumps watching this! The level of detail and the process is a work of art in itself!
I remember when you featured this guy a few years ago. His work blew my mind and was really my introduction into macro photography on that scale. I just use a little 24mp Fuji X-T4 and some extension tubes but just the process of shooting like this I find amazing.
His channel link ?
This was awesome! I love your creative approach to filming and editing your videos. You seem to have the natural ability to teach at a level that is also entertaining. Thanks for that!
Thank you!
What a process. Loved every minute of it.
Absolutely incredible! To see both watches with all the stories etched in the imperfections of both watches just fantastic. They say watches should be worn, this is why. Thanks for an awesome video ❤
As a professional photographer and retoucher who hasn't had the pleasure (yet) to work on images shot with a Phase One or a Hasselblad, I really really appreciate this video. That retouching process is lengthy and underaprecciated! Nice work
If you're photoshopping something, all of this expensive camera becomes meaningless because the photo isn't real anymore.
@@Kronos0999 That's one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard.
What's crazy to me, if I noticed right, is these are shot at f/11 and still need multiple photos to get sharp focus on all planes. That's amazing to me!
What us more important? The lens or the camera itself? From the video it seemed mike the lens makes it perfect and matters the most
I Love the Phase One, One of my favorit shots I printed on canvas, the amount of detail and precision is mind blowing.
Oh my GOD this video was so good !!! The level of detail of medium format is absolutely insane !!!
Cool thing would have been to compare this workflow with a regular “common” prosumer camera as well and then compare their printer outputs. Would bet you, that at that print size, you’d have to be super pixel peepin’ retentive.
Imagine taking portraits with this, facial details would probably be insane 😭
Don't take me wrong, but I think it will show details that really nobody wants to see....
Brilliant Peter. That was so engrossing. You've certainly given me food for thought with the focus stacking on macro shoots. Cheers mate 😊
This is awesome content thank you Peter. Would love seeing you doing more of these type of projects.
Couldn't even imagine where to begin the learning curve of a camera like that, another masterpiece as always. I pretty much owe everything I've learned the last few years of my work to you Pete. Definitely grateful for your passion and story telling 🤘🔥
There’s no learning curve, other than wrapping your head around why a completely integrated camera system still requires you to do the bulk of configuration on a tiny LCD on top of the camera body.
same as learning any other camera - and while it's always awesome to spire to use/own one, once you have it, it becomes another tool like any other :) When i started shooting MFD, i was excited as anyone else would be, but it wears off fast. In the end, it's about what you think it can enable in your work. For me, it was about the details and making large, detailed prints as seen here.
Awesome episode Peter! Definitely wanna see more WATCH-related content on the channel!
Peter, I love this docu-style vlog/video. Also, the music is amazing. So good!
Great video. This reminds me of when Rob Grimm did an online class for food and beverage photography before there were robots doing it. His process is/was very similar and it was amazing to learn from Rob Grimm.
I see Peter I give a thumbs up!
I‘m working at a University in Gernany as a media designer. Every year we MUST spend hundred thousands of Euros - ending up buying stuff no one of us really needs. A Phase One & a RED are just laying around in the shelf..No one using it. Every month we order the newest, best & most expensive lenses & cameras..Such wasted tax money it makes me mad
Amazing video Peter. Probably my most favourite video you've ever made simply down to the the level of detail you covered with the Phase One which I neve even knew existed. I feel like I've levelled up in photography just fro watching this videio with Peter Andrew Lusztyk. I can't wait to see more! 👌
Thanks Steve!
I can’t even fathom the amount of memory that 50 of those files takes up! 😂
Insane right!
When you have a 150 MP camera, every photo is like a work of art...that takes up 10 GB of storage
☠️
Glad to see another more technical camera / gear related video!
Bro just takes high resolution photos of random objects and calls them a masterpiece, yeah sure 😂
Indeed hollow times. Creating “masterpieces” without becoming a craftsman first. Let alone an artist.
Nowadays, anything is considered "art".
You might want to go somewhere like DPReview and look at their macro forum. I bet you will see things that trigger some sort of positive response. I would post a link to my particular favorite that I’ve taken but usually KZhead won’t let people post links.😊
There is a certain level of craftsmanship in his work. The whole point is to see a print live
Art in this era is dead if it was not for ai art, the saving grace
I've enjoyed many of your past video, I think I enjoyed this one the most. Thank Pete and Peter.
so great. Love watches and photography. well done, Peters
Outstanding!!!! Thank You Peter!🔥
Absolutely excellent video. Thank you Peter, thank you Peter.
This video sums up getting the perfect imperfect image. All the flaws at their best. Bravo Pete.
Thank you Peter!
That setup is so awesome it borders on it's own type of insanity. Thanks for sharing.
I had a custom watch made for the 15th year anniversary of my company. Thank you so much for creating this video. I am going to create a framed poster of my watch in my office, with a few other notable pieces that all represent the 15 year journey to create our company. I REALLY appreciate this inspiration.
It is pretty remarkable the love share by Peter to the art of photography.
Fell in love with this. All of this. Amazing story telling on a subject I didn’t even was interesting.
6:46 I love artlist so much that there are some of their royalty free songs in my normal music playlists I listen to for leisure.
This whole video is great! It literally feels like a documentary style tv show. Super good production quality.
Very interesting to get a sense of this type of art! :D Thanks again Pete for an awesome video!
Its amazing to see the amount of work put in to take this photo.thank you for this behind the scene video. Im also interested on that stand hangers on the wall. 😀
What an incredible piece of equipment! 😀
Maison Battat represent ! I do this all day and love it. Happy to see a channel cover this type of work and not just lifestyle and cool dudes with Leicas.
Awesome content Peter & Peter ❤
Peter, your vid’s are like mini movies. Thank You for truly appreciating true art
Beautiful work. Always fascinated by the macro world. The bar is set at a whole new level. Thanks again for this video. - Jim
i just love getting too see you use your platform to highlight some great artist with some great techniques
0:57, I was really surprised seeing this token of my city’s subway. Great content and inspiration.
My favourite video yet! So inspiring.
Peter Andrew's work is amazing!
Really enjoyed that! Thanks Peter!
that last song gave me chills ❤ great video!
I wish this was a 90 minute documentary, loved every nanosecond!
Very educational, thanks Pete. Truly appreciate videos like this.
Wow! Beautiful
Wow, the medium has come such a long way. I was a wedding, portrait, fashion, architectural, and product photographer back in the '80s and '90s. I used medium and large format cameras and was handy in the darkroom, as well as the Adams negative retouching machine. Now I'm shooting digital and still have a passion for a splendid image like those presented in this marvelous video.
Next level mate, that is so cool!
That is an amazing piece of equipment!
Love phase one, used it a lot for some fashion portraits
You should make a video for aspiring photographers on how to get their print business off the ground and all about prints and different styles, papers, mounts etc. Your work is amazing!
this is just amazing!!
Absolutely incredible!
Amazing! Makes me want to try shooting focus stacked. Looks so fun!
Another awesome video. The audio is stunning.
This is an awesome video. Incredible camera. Thank you for suggesting Artlist too. I subscribed because of your video. 😊
more videos like this, absolutely mind-blowing!
Wauw, super cool workflow insights!
That is absolutely insane! Such a cool process!
Unreal stuff. When I do focus stacking, he’s my influence, I watched the other video y’all shot together and thought why can’t I get anywhere close to his stuff, it didn’t dawn on me that I couldn’t get close because his gear is that much greater.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE
That was just wow!😮
