The Weekly Woodshed

Every Thursday at 10AM EST, we meet for a deep dive into all things photography. Community members post work for review, ask questions, discuss challenges they are facing in their businesses, and more. Pete spends time detailing his recent shoots with an emphasis on his lighting setups, modifiers, camera settings, and much more. The Woodshed is where we encourage and inspire each other, and grow as photographers, entrepreneurs, and people.

Exclusive Forum Access

Our exclusive private forum is where we connect, learn, and grow together. In this supportive, ego-free environment, you can upload images for thoughtful critique, ask questions, and gain access to  behind-the-scenes (BTS) content including lighting setups and editing workflows. 

Liveshoots and Video Tutorials

Watch as Pete walks you through real-world setups that he uses every day, including "Hero" Lighting, how to use a beauty dish as a dramatic key light, dialing in the proper amount of fill light to give your images a three-dimensional pop, shooting wide open portraits, choosing the best backdrops, subject placement and posing, and much more.

About Me

I started my headshot business from scratch, during one of the lowest points in my life. Photography became a necessity, and what I felt was the last chance for me to make something out of a life that I felt was wasted. At 40 years old, It turned out to be the best decision of my life. I grew my vision from zero clients into a thriving business in under a year. In under five years, I expanded from a studio on Long Island to an additional location in Brooklyn. Besides turning my creative  passion into a viable business, I completely changed my mindset and beliefs about what I could accomplish, transforming my life in more ways than I could have imagined. In The Portrait Community, I am an open book, sharing how to create dramatic and engaging portraits like the ones I create for my clients every day.
