Photographic skills are way above his social manners. The word "please" does not seem to exist in his vocabulary. How is the model supposed to enjoy posting without any visual feeback? After all – I guess – paying her is enough.
Great Video!!
What town is this? these locations are very cool.
I don't think a 35 mm is suited for these kind of portraits
Do you have a video for shooting indoors, with the house lights while looking at a window on a sunny day? Basically, get the correct exposure of a room when the shades are open (or there are no blinds, shades to seal off the sun).
This is so simple and amazing at the same time, thank you!
I like your way of sharing what you are doing. Time to grab the 6400 and the Sigma 30 1.4 and go create some magic!
Sigma 35 mm f/1.4! is a basic lens ? any one who owns this lens is not need this video and he not told anything about what camera he is using. not worth to watch. implicitly he saying that if you want low light photos then buy any fast lens (i.e., 1.4 or less) and a full frame DSLR (which he not even mentioned) .
Thank you so much it was full of great information. I appreciate you taking the time to make this for us.
Actually not much about the lighting has been told…
So minimal yet so effective! easy shoot date experience!
Straight to the point and simple. Sublime.
Always simple and creative!!
Another great video Pye! Thank you for all the knowledge and suggestions to get us motivated to keep shooting.
Fun video with a lovely positive vibe. One small respectful observation – the first 3 out of the 5 situations weren't explained so well in terms of seeing and exploiting available light. Those first three scenarios were more about explaining composition, which doesn't really fit with the title of the video or the introduction.
cool vid,
The head space his giving on the rule of thirds gives me headaches 😅
I just learnt some new tips😊❤ thanks Pye
Awesome. I love how you just take the picture and make it whatever you want in post. Do you have a course where you show step by step your post process?
where can I purchase the presets from
