Take the 2023 MagMod Customer Survey! magmod.typeform.com/2023survey P.S. We're giving away a whopping $6750 in MagBucks - yes, you heard that right, $6750 in total prizes! And that's not all, my friend! We're also giving everyone a little something just for taking the time to fill out our survey.
This video was so well done. It was just like being a student on scene and seeing how the magic is made. I especially liked the explanation of the Rembrandt lighting, light position and face position.
Great job Pye! Always clear and succinct! Best reminder-- After getting all the prep accomplished with light modifiers etc…. Shoot more poses in that new environment!!!
It is a great reminder. Often times it seems I am looking for new fresh ideas constantly and forget that I can use the set and lighting to capture additional poses without having to move. Pye is awesome.
This was so helpful!! Flash just boggles my mind and often times I'm scared to even try!! But you have really simplified it and now I can't wait to give this a try!!
It can be a bit immidating. We are glad you enjoyed the video and hope this video and others we will release in the future help to break it down for you. Holler if you ever have questions!
Great video as always, Pye. I use CAMP and also the MagMod stuff. FYI, I just recently compared the spread of various combinations. The grid was a small circle, the bare flash was an oval a little wider but a lot longer, and the grid/sphere combination had the largest spread but of course was more diffused.
With regard to softening the light with a modifier - I feel that it simply weakened the output since it was still a rather small light source. It would be interesting to see the same setup again where you simply turn down the power of the AD200 rather than adding things to weaken it, I imagine the results would be very similar.
Is the flash in Auto Zoom or Manual Zoom, if Manual what setting are you using with the 24-70mm lens, Pye? PS, I love the way you teach, I have subscribed!
While I'm not Pye - so he might have some more insight. I can share that I know he shoots almost exclusively in Manual. His regular saying is "when in the sun, 1/1 power and when in doors match the ISO." So for example when shooting indoors at 3200 ISO, the flash power would be 1/32th power, or if at 800 ISO then 1/8th power. Hope that helps.
Love the composition and explanation of the whole process!! 🫡 👏👏 pie do you have a video explaining how to power or control multiple lights or ad200 ?? I can get them both to fire but can’t control the power individually yet .😏
you have to set each flash to a different group. On our remote you'll see A, B, C, etc. Set your flash to the corresponding group you want and then you can set the flash power individually.
Yep boost nailed it. You just need to make one flash A, and one flash B in the settings. Once they are in different groups then you can control the power of each group.

Thank you so much
Great video and you are great shooter love your passion.
All the best 😊
Ok that was helpful sir.
We are all stoked you found it helpful.
Thanks. Very nice video! But can we use flash light opposite the sun to make shadows shorter?
Great video as always, Pye. I use CAMP and also the MagMod stuff. FYI, I just recently compared the spread of various combinations.

Lovely
Great video. Thank you. Did you use TTL?
Have the 200 pro and a 400 pro. Would like to see what a 400 or 600 out of frame would do to create similar lighting without post production masking

Yes it definitely helps. Thanks
Great
What camera used to record the video?
Is that the Xpro ? Do you experience the AWB issue?
What's the name of the flash or wherever you call the thing on top of your camera ?
Lovely u r awesome
dont understand the point of using a grid with a sphere on top. Doesnt it cancel out the grid?
it does
Actually my flash exposure goes down - because if the background is being underexposed, you don’t need as much directional flash power.
Pye why that hell you grad the Lens like amateur ?? so sad!!
