The energy in Light Box Studios that day was electric. Photographers from different backgrounds had gathered for the Headshot Intensive, each eager to absorb Peter’s insights—not just about lighting and technique, but about connection.

Laughter filled the room as Peter worked his magic, balancing humor with wisdom. "Your gear is important," he said, flashing his signature grin, "but your client—they're everything." That line stuck with me. It reframed my perspective on portrait photography, not as a technical craft alone, but as a human experience.

Looking at the final shot, I realized that this headshot wasn’t just about lighting ratios or camera settings. It was about a connection between two photographers, both learning to put their subjects first. More than gear, more than technique—this was a portrait of trust.
