I like that you almost always say "Use whatever camera you like" because unlike a lot of presenters it's not about the camera as how you use it along with your other gear!
I like to give it straight, indeed it’s about how you use it!
most presenters say its not about the camera. It's people in the comments that know very little about photography that always ask about camera bodies.
I love the focus on being concious of the effect of lighting and not about what is the 'correct' way to do things.
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your presenting style, Pye -- many photographers' tutorials have a kind of overexcited/cheesy energy to them that stresses me out, but I found your delivery to be super-informative and relaxing. Thank you!
The sound quality in this video is superb! (also with excellent voice and narration) It's an enjoyment to watch and listen to this informative tutorial. Thanks
thanks Pye. Your videos are always no BS and concise, plus doing side-by-side comparisons really helps.
Always love your tutorials pye.
I mainly shoot personal travel stuff on the go but I knew I was going to learn something from this video. Teaching style and communication is always clear and well explained. Appreciate it!
Yor gonna love this... the technique where you expose to the background, then add the key and fill afterward, was taught to me while learning live audio. When clubs set up sound systems for the night, the audio tech mutes main sound and focuses on all the peripheral speakers first. Then unmutes the mains, and then add the subwoofers as needed. The logic for the why behind the ratios is the same...
Thankyou, as always, very precise and to the point!!..
Love the easy to follow step by step instructions in this video. Lighting can be so intimidating and you have made it accessible.
great video! I rarely use flash so it's great to brush up on it once in a while for when I need it.
Great demo. Brings back so many memories 😊
One of best video I had seen. Clarify detail and give important basic to everyone who wants to learn lighting. Thank for this great video.
You're very welcome!
Pye, this is an excellent breakdown. And I am glad you started with Intention as a key decision to the whole thought process.
Again, fabulous video - thank you so much for creating them. And Kiara is stunning as always.
great info! thanks for being so thorough and easy to follow instructions
Thank you for this. So informative and straight forward. Very much appreciate this content.
Pye I've just discovered you, and I love how you make all of this feel so accessible. I'm switching from on-location outdoor portraits and weddings to all in-studio to accommodate LongCovid me, and you're really helping me out. Thank you!
The best tutorial I have ever learnt, It works amazing. Thank You so much!
Very well explained. Pacing is fantastic as well.
Thank you so much
Very useful video. Thank you!
Very educative. Thank you
Thank you so much.
Excellent Thank You.
Thanks for sharing.
Awesome tips. Thanks
Thanks man
Been shoot profoto for the past 3 years
I am more of a location high school senior photographer
Just sold a D2 and bought a B10 yesterday
I have a senior in an hour
Thanks for all that you do
I’m falling in love every time I see Kiara ❤😂
❤
That was really useful.. thank you
This is the lighting video I have been looking for, brilliant explanation I am guilty of all of these mistakes at some point but the biggest take away is to think more clearly about the intent of the story. Thanks for sharing!
great video!!!
As you mentioned it often regarding light, it's all about understanding the light (source, distance and direction) to the subject and combining it with the intention of the photograph.
Awesome ❤
Kiara is the most beautiful thing in the world. I couldn't focus on the technical side of this video. May have to watch it a second time.
Great!
I love the videos so far. I actually learn from these. Some videos from others are so much of their personal thoughts, confusions and gripes and they never get to the point. Just get to the point! Good job. Anyways I’d like to see a series of all the actual named lighting patterns like you showed the Rembrandt. It would be nice to see a full list displayed in action.
cool, as always
More Kiara please
Thanks for the gems‼️
Sometimes is not about mistakes, is about the look you want to achieve
Could you do this type of stuff with the 2 flashes being an A2 and A10?
For Split light two Lights from both sides are great for a dramatic look
Great tutorial 😊thx
Another great video Pye. Thank you from an amateur hoping to becoming a professional. PEACE from ATL ✊🏾 📸
That was useful. Thank you. And Kiara is awsome.
Good overview. Intention is what inexperienced shooters lack. We don't know what you don't know. The artists in the audience might cringe at Pye's usage of "correct" here, but the point remains that you're after a certain look you need a certain lighting technique.
Hello Pye. Do you use any light metering before any of your shoots in studio or outside?
Muchas gracias.
Did you use the fill light or reflector for the split light shot?
Congratulations on 500K subscribers
Thank you Pye. Another amazing tutorial. Question : why do you have to remove the trigger, can't you just turn off? Sorry if this a dump question.
Hell yeah, the shiny greasy book is in!
Learning from you
❤❤❤💐💐💐🤚🤚🤚 great video dear sir....
Have a question about your three light portrait set up. How do you use the hair light? Is that just a Rob without any modifier? What are you aiming it at? The top of the head?
Thanks a lot ...
Good lighting examples, but within it I found mistake #6. 12:19 you have your grip arm set up as lefty loosey, not righty tighty. It would not be good to have that loosen and land on your subject. Set safety is #1.
😉oooh, you’re correct!! 😮
good catch!! 💪🏼💪🏼 also simply using the end of the arm for the light & modifier which is smooth and not a good place to get any ‘bite’ on the pole.
I see a lot of people using like that, and without another grip piece to put in a peg that is gnarled and give it a right angle and set it up correctly. They always have the big gnarly end at the backside near the stand if that makes sense in my description .(??)
I used to attach my light the same way many yrs back and try to wrench down the little twist tightener on that amooth end of the arm that has no gnarling for better grip and all I can say is I was very lucky with the different positions I would put the light in and with a modifier that that thing didn’t just fall off !!! 😱🫣 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ever though of having an easy toggle for Flash On/Off on the remote, Profoto? Because the photographer taking off the remote from the hot shoe should be demonstration enough this is needed.
The Profoto remote is easy to turn on and off with out taking it off. Just press the channel button to till you get a lighting bolt with an X.
@@peterpeterson7784 I agree for the individual channel, yet it doesn't allow to "mute" all channels at once.
5:16 raw looked much better than the final edit 😁
Just curious, does the Canon a allow using flash/stobe at 1/500th of a second as you present?
I have the same question.
Canon Flashsync is usually at 1/200th a second. The Profoto B10 has HSS wich allows for higher shutterspeeds.
If he's using a high speed sync strobe, I think he should have mentioned that in his video. It is very deceptive showing camera shutter speeds as 1/500th if it's not. If he's using a shutter speed of 1/200th and a strobe with high speed sync, that should be noted. Sorry for beating a DH.

She is like a freaking Egyptian goddess omg!
Can i get your editing presets?
Of course! You can find them all here www.vfpresets.com/
I noticed that your light is mostly perpendicular to the ground.
I want your studio.
Do a video about this audio cause this sounds like you're on a studio mic!
11:55 Your "Rembrandt" lighting pattern is NOT Rembrandt. You need to place the key light higher and 45 degrees to the subject on two axes, not just one. And Paramount lighting is where the light is positioned directly in front of the subject and slightly above eye level. Basic factual errors.
the low angle looks like she's stepped out into traffic
Kiara is so damn hot
in my opinion all the outdoor shots suck. cutting off the feet right at the ankles is a no go for me. the difference between "dramatic" and "natural" was also minimal, why not make it really dramatic like a completely black background with f11? also the octa should have been closer in my opinion, i dont remember the subjective rule being distance= 1-2times the diameter of the light source, only 1 times. the only good knowledge for me was to take the light further away for groups since the difference in distance is less. you also didnt even mention feathering technique. i dont know why im ranting maybe i am bored but all in all this video is so much worse than the stuff you did on adorama.
Pye do u have any video tips on fashion editorial photography. Photos like u see on cover magazine like vogue.. I understand they use medium format camera like hasslebads but can it be mimic by mirrorless....I started shooting boudoir but I find a fascination on fashion photography....I appreciate and thank you for your videos, I have learn so much.
the correct rembrandt lighting is the highest stand setting, so the "correct" is not so correct
