THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!

[@ebouwens]

This video is 3 years old but I always see something fresh when I come back to it. Never tire of Pye's generous, knowledgeable and humorous take on photography.

[@Savagemediaadvertising]

Cool this is a great video enlightening the aspects of outdoor street compositions

[@michaeldaramola]

As a Photographer that does lots of Street Photography, this video sure opened my eyes to new ideas which I could implement when I am doing a Photoshoot for my clients. Thanks for sharing Adorama TV. Cheers!

[@slrlounge]

Glad we could help!

[@mauricebenedicttarobal8299]

I enjoyed this so much, I'm actually a year into photography and I'm teaching my seniors the best way to tell stories and composing their shots. These tips are great!!!

[@sfphoto1726]

Your videos are some of the best photography info vids out. I've been trying to use some of these and tips from your other videos and feel much more confident in my compositions and editing especially. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming!

[@photonsonpixels]

Your tutorials are awesome, Pye! Thank you.

[@jayortez410]

I think what we learn from this video is that Larry is a great guy!

[@ThierryMinet]

[@bazmac26]

[@jamesrichard6415]

Great video Pye! I always learn lots from these videos!

[@raydunn3501]

That was great Pye,,, you have so many great ideas on how and where to shoot,,, cant wait for your next shoot.

[@fcoker73]

Great video as always. Those were great ideas especially keeping the same pose but take the pictures at different angles or have the subject keep their pose adjust their head or hands a certain way helps you to have more photos without thinking of a whole new pose to tell your subject. Definitely a keeper!!

[@paulhickey6896]

Really useful video, thanks!

[@danielleburks4436]

I loved this, and Thank u very much. I sure got ideas now!

I really loved this. Thank you. xxx

[@alan8943]

I really like these instructional videos.

[@AdamKozak100]

I really like how you talked about shooting on an angle with a 50mm, and framing the subject with the partner. Great!

[@kavanlake871]

Awesome tips Pye 👌🏾😊. I love these little reminders. As we grow, we sometimes move away from where we first started with one camera, one lens. BTW, we’re still waiting on the video where you got in front of the camera. Nope...we haven’t forgotten.

[@Pysees868]

These were some really good tips. Great video chock full of simple, ideas to try.

[@K3zz21]

That trumpet foreground shot was freaking amazing

[@sonicyouth76]

Thank you for the tips! They are indeed helpful! Please do more videos like this...::))

[@HaiTomVlog]

Really good advice, thanks!

[@JohnJohnson-bo5sv]

some good tips here. I especially appreciated having the trumpet player look down when shooting the hands so it didn't look like a mistake--that's smart. And using the ticket thing to block the cars //very smart

[@badaboom2995]

Good ideas, thank you!

[@stefanhansen5882]

Very nice and informative. thanks

[@grooveecard]

Loved this! Great ideas for me to try out.

[@slrlounge]

Thanks for the feedback Tim!

[@michaelyolch79]

Trumpet series was FIRE, bro! :)

[@js.7885]

Love it

[@deewonda1952]

Hi Bye! I rewatched this video because I have a downtown headshot/branding session in two days. I scouted the location where the session will take place and it's great but I couldn't come up with any "non-boring" posing/composition ideas. I have them now!! Thank you sooo much!!

[@randyfox5317]

Wow, it's so strange that we literally walk by places (or settings) just like these EVERY day. I am dumbfounded that I never thought to use any of them as a portraiture setting or environment. Talk about eye-opening. Just...wow.

[@willie7060]

i love the sign idea, lol. i think im going to try this

[@aaronperkinson8314]

Thumbs up! Great tips...Thank you. Are you going to do a video about how you approached the subjects and how you convinced them to participate?

[@ruff1draft]

Thanks for this

[@MichaelKantormusic]

Usually Pye I’m not a fan of your videos but this was a great set of ideas. You have earned a reprieve from my snarky comments for a week.

[@slrlounge]

:) just a week!? Jk.. feedback is always welcome

[@rudelionmedia3457]

This dude is GOOD

[@geejohnson7278]

I've almost never had a stranger be ok with being photographed. 🤯🤯

[@moments849hmqwet]

[@daemmi62]

Great!

[@paulrodriguez4924]

Lol.. so Kool! Awesome ideas and appreciate your view and perspectives. I'll look for you on ig

[@artmonsterph6464]

[@brentkingston4389]

Very interesting 😎

[@JohnJBloomfield]

Cool ideas ... We really need a BTS follow up on David's techniques on finding subjects on the street.

[@Fernyg323]

Pasadena lookin nice!!!!!

[@Lucky-tf4yf]

Great video 👌

[@yahima9603]

Wonderful

[@richd1931]

Very helpful

[@timelyseeker]

Appreciate it 🙏🏼😮 great series

[@thechosen1421]

Very helpful vid

[@ashutoshtewari6181]

Grateful

[@webstermickey69]

Very helpful tips. Pye I can be your assistant in your next photoshoot🙂

[@donquique1]

I would like to know in the shot with the 2 women how he gets both sharp at f1.4 shooting at an angle. Does he focus on the farthest face?? Asking for a friend.... also, Pye is a breath of fresh air amongst other pros.

[@LaZanyarr]

Can you do a vid on how to pose your subjects in street portraits?

[@mrdrjackson1]

Ok so during golden light or any time your back lighting do you expose for the skin or the ambient? I found myself struggling in lighting. I used to always photograph in direct golden light when I was young. I'm just picking it back up and trying to figure it out again.

[@patrickb4321]

Your next video should be on how to get a complete stranger to go along with the idea of being photographed for any period of time.

[@yeyang8959]

3 for 10, 5 for 20? I would buy two lots of 3 :). You are generous.
