To be successful is one thing. To be successful and share your knowledge means you are on another level. Peter Hurley is on another level. Awesome tutorial.
@broncojonnes Appreciate that! 10 years of busting my ass to get to where I am while having thousands in front of my camera, if I wasn't confident there would be a problem. I'm glad you saw it as that instead of arrogance, I think if I was arrogant I wouldn't share the info. THX!
@Squeeler1 Most likely because he is shooting medium format. Also it is personal preference. He is shooting left to right meaning if it was portrait it would need to be centered. That not the look he is going for apparently.
@januar324@januar324 Medium format would matter if he wasn't using the prism finder (it's really awkward to use a waist-level finder with the camera sideways, but with an eye-level prism finder it's not a problem -- and Peter does do verticals when he needs to). The white space is as important as the subject in any photo, and Peter has found that giving the subject lateral space to "move" in makes a livelier, more commercial, and more appealing picture.
@Squeeler1 "Crop" isn't the right word -- he's going to have the retoucher extend the white background all the way to the right of the frame. The end result will be an 8x10 horizontal with the subject over on the left of the frame, so the Kino fixture (or whatever else gets into the frame) sitting in the dead space on the opposite side isn't a problem as long as the subject is completely surrounded by the background and cropped where Peter wants that edge.

He prefers Landscape shots as it's more true to the way we see... Also if they're on TV, it's the same aspect ratio for TV...

People can misunderstand 'confidence'
when coming from a good looking guy and turn it
into arrogance ...

4:10 - if he's going to crop so much off the right, why not shoot portrait?
