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. 

Julia Yaroshenko is a Ukrainian freelance travelling model. Peter and I have known her iconic face for a while (always on 500px and even some photographers in the Peter Coulson Community), and were very excited when Julia e-mailed us letting us know of her travels to Melbourne.

These tutorials are a fly-on-the-wall, start to end of our photoshoot, interview & retouching.

• Learn Blender for concept art with this 4.5-hour workshop designed to help you accelerate the detailing process of environment concepts using 3D assets. Starting with the creation of loose 2D sketches, Jonas Hassibi shares how to get initial ideas down quickly before deciding on a sketch to block out in Blender. By zooming in on the elements of the design that are required for the piece, you’ll discover how to start creating your own 3D kitbash library and successfully bring 2D and 3D elements together for efficient environment detailing.
• This workshop is intended for beginner to immediate-level concept artists who have taken their first steps in Blender and those who are more advanced and want to build on top of their knowledge. Jonas covers the very basics of Blender, including navigation and modeling, and also delves into some more advanced plugins like Hardops, BoxCutter, and so on.
• In addition to Jonas’s demonstrations, he offers industry insights from his own career history, including what to expect when you are a young artist trying to get into the industry. He also offers his personal tips for staying motivated when for those already in the industry who may be feeling a little stuck.
• By the end of the workshop, you’ll have developed the skills needed to convert a 2D sketch into a 3D scene by creating 3D assets to speed up the process efficiently. Jonas’s Blender scene file and Photoshop file are included with this workshop to provide full visibility into how the final scene was created.

Learn the complete storyboarding process that professional storyboard artists use when creating sequences for blockbuster movies and AAA games. Ibraheem Jara has storyboarded on projects, including Spider-Man, X-Men ‘97, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Overwatch 2, and in this 2-hour workshop, he shares his workflow, from initial planning to a complete storyboard sequence using Storyboard Pro and Blender.

The workshop begins with basic planning, including how to create story beats with a focus on locations and characters. From there, the thumbnails are loosely laid down to sketch out the ideas before Ibraheem takes them through various passes as he molds them into a working storyboard sequence. Throughout the workshop, he offers invaluable expert tips to help you master composition, lighting, acting, action, editing, and pacing in your own storyboards. You’ll also see how Ibraheem adds and subtracts elements of a story throughout his natural process in order to get to the working final product.

I saw her speak in 1992 in New Zealand. There were two Women photographers in my country at the time competing at an international level in Photography Awards but both of them were wedding photographers. Outside of them, Joyce was the first female photographer that I knew of that was very successful.

Not that gender matters now, but as a 22-year-old girl I sat in awe of this extraordinary artist, her feminine work, and the beauty that literally exudes out of her. My life was changed at that moment.

25 years later I am interviewing this woman and asking her to be a keynote presenter at The Portrait Masters in September 2018. What I was not expecting, all fangirling aside, was the impact meeting her and spending a few hours with her would have on the grown-up me again she changed my world.
