I needed to take a portrait shot for my mom on short notice, and I was able to recreate the set up I needed with a florescent light and white bed sheets using this knowledge! Thanks so much <3
So why would you pick a Rembrandt or Split or Loop lighting? I wish portrait lighting videos talked more about the motivators like wanting to show an emotion that's part of whatever story that only Rembrandt is good for and wouldn't work as a loop… but instead they stop at this light adds drama, this one doesn't. Maybe I am about to answer my own question but is it that the more mysterious qualities of the emotion behind the subject of the photo (not just the person in the photo) then that's when we choose a split or Rembrandt over loop or paramount lighting? I wish I had more faces come to me who cared this much more than "just pick a lighting that makes me look slimmer" 😛 But seriously, this kind of thing might be useful to discuss, huh?
Hey Pye. If I need more power of modeling light on b10 and b10 plus for continuous lighting setup, what should I do? Any other solution to avoid using other brand of LED?
Probably one of the most informative videos on lighting for beginners out there. And it doesn't require you to splurge on expensive equipment.
Awesome 👍. I love your style… cool as …….. Keep doing what you do man 👍
Fantastic. I'm a videographer working in a very small studio. Most of the examples I see use huge lights, high ceilings, flags, add tons of gear to get the same look you achieve with efficient use of a single light in a small space. I'm going to adapt these portrait techniques for interviews.
manual ot TTL ?
Love this-thanks
What was your flash set at? TTL or something else?
Covers a lot of ground in little time: the result of practical knowledge clearly demonstrated minus the bullsh*t and embarrassing self-promotion. Very well done
Great video
What are the flash settings?
Really good stuff Pye
Great video
Awesome, love the way you present , point to point in an simple manner, great to watch and learn
Get a pie of Light from Pye!
The backlit shot was a little hot and would look better with dramatic feel or just less backlight amount. Adorama has the best instruction videos
Anyone see how smooth he rolled that reflector up. That takes skill lol. Takes me 5 minutes every time.
Pye where I can get that backpack?
Fantastic
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great one

Thanks for this great little presentation!!
One of the better portrait lighting tutorials using an umbrella–thanks a million. I always learn something useful from your videos/tutorials. Peace.
Thanks Pye!
Love the way you explain so easy to understand for someone who is not a native English speaker!
Great presentation. Simple and concise.
I love the way you present things.
You don’t talk about your life during 10 minutes, drinking coffee, … It’s to the point, clear and with affordable gears. Great job!
Zippers always (!) get stuck at the worst times, don't they?
Great video breaking down the setups. Thank you. Can you link the grip arm used in clamshell setup? looks like a matthews stand or is it Flashpoint? can you use arm on regular stand or only on c stand?
Good…
Lemme be
If you don't have reflectors or v-flats "Brooklyn reflectors" aka pizza boxes work as well 😉 @lastxwitness
