I NEVER would have thought to use sea foam as a reflector. What a clever idea!
@makesumwake2 жыл бұрын
great shots!! only thing you might try.. to get different cool looks, would be to go to F/16 or F/20, and you will be able to capture the light rays off the sun, and focus the sun in the back ground. it creates a pretty cool look, vs just having a washed out glow in the background like you get with F/2.

Maybe go back with just an x100V with leaf shutter and small flash. Bet those would pop due to high flash shutter sync. These came out nice but really need that flash or at least a reflector to bring her out of the scene.

I have recently started working with a modeling agency... although not on a beach I have been doing a lot of manual exposures and adjusting for fill in post. Using only available light outside, no flash sometimes a reflector. I have found for my work, using my Nikon Z5 with an AFS-D 85mm f1.8 is the combo I use the most. In particular to this video, it really confirmed a lot of what I am doing and that I am headed in the right direction. Pye I truly appreciate your videos, straight forward answers.

Trying to learn here. Why are you underexposed? Is it to prevent blowout from the sun. I did not get it.
@SikSh0oter Жыл бұрын
Also learning, but yeah, that seems to be the case with underexposed settings. One reason for that, especially during the day when the light is the harshest, is when editing in post, the sky is easier to work with. Plus, there's a mask feature in lightroom where you can separate the subject from the background. So, in essence, you can bring the model back up to proper exposure. Same logic applies when using a speedlight or other light source. Or he was going for a silhouetted look for his model

Always love the amazing help and tips given from this Adorama KZbin page, but the one thing that would have made all these photos so much better, a reflector. I couldn’t get over the final images, not the best, but I understand photography is subjective and can be taken in different ways. Definitely gave amazing tips for beach portrait photography, which is something I do on a daily, I’m really obsessed with beach photography. But yeah these were not so great. Sorry if I offend anyone on this KZbin community, but if I was completely clueless when it came to beach photography, I’d definitely would appreciate someone telling me the magic a reflector can do at a beach. You prevent blowing out the sky and add some amazing glow to the skin. Again just my opinion as someone who shoots almost all the time at the beach.
@onlysublime2 жыл бұрын
No one would be offended. The issue is when you don't have an assistant or when you want a full body shot. Framing becomes an issue. But if you want the time and patience and help I agree that a reflector is great. Pye is a master of all the tools but in this situation he seemed to be by himself.
@kekolber8682 жыл бұрын
Nah, these images (as worked as they are) are way better than the old "sun sandwich" a frontal reflector would give you. Sun sandwich is a dated look. I'd have preferred the final images presented here be a half-stop lower on the skin, but I applaud the upstage lighting anyway.

Reflectors are overrated. One you need someone to hold it as someone moves. Two the wind will blow it all over the place. Three the light is inconsistent whether the Subject moves or you change angles or the reflector flops around all over. That’s why people would Rather do has flash outdoors
