[@samsalueng]

Riveting ! I have come away from watching this video with a whole sense of passion and love for what I enjoy which is simply Photography . Thank You Pye & Kiara.

[@victorcalo5814]

Thank you for sharing your talent and experience So you are my inspiration God bless you

[@svetlanagrobman3476]

It's great as usual! I just have one suggestion. Since you are talking about the histogram, would u show it to us? That would add a lot of value to the video -- I think.

[@_pudu661]

10:52 was the best one for me, the model, the way the shadows fall on her face, wow!

[@YomiOniContent]

You are a straight forward teacher... Thanks for all the time

[@EdwardKilner]

My granddaughter liked beads and craft stuff. She had a tray with compartments and coloured items were clearly visible. It was on a table with her leaning forward over it. One of my best efforts, I think.

[@chris.tijerino]

loved this video. I just had to subscribe. thank you for the value. youbjust made me better.

[@leroydias5075]

Loved the shot with the palm frond in the foreground . . . awesome what you can do with simple props when you know what you are doing.

[@stefanodebarba8729]

[@georgeolano9653]

Love it, great idea with palm leaf, thx P

[@thestudio2015]

Having the model lay down and use the palm leave over her also makes great shots!

[@007PJG]

[@ipedder68]

Amazing as always 👍and an amazing model

[@gpraneeth3140]

Thanks a lot

[@PracticingPhotography]

Thanks for the video and the tips. I love all the palm frond photos. Not sure I liked the chair photos and how much it was brightened - but it is just a style preference. Amazing video.

[@andrewn7329]

Awesome

[@tsdgee7405]

Thank u for this! This was awesome 💜

[@pictureeyecandy]

Nice using the Iconic Peacock Chair. 🤩

[@Nicephore]

Great shots, and tips. But that whitewash preset? Drop it.

[@owentallack2129]

These tips are awesome!, I loved the use of lighting and how you guys use a lot of different parts of the surroundings absolutely stunned!!

[@Thedailyfight488]

Thank you for the guide 😊

[@brad_in_yyc]

Great tips Pye. I am struggling to think of some props to bring to a family shoot. I've shot them before and we had a blast with a blanket last time.

[@varunkamal91]

Is it just me who feels the first shot(before) looks much richer in colours?

[@theweddingbellssrs]

very very great examples.. thank you so much

[@pvprashant9797]

The tips that you shared was good ones. And the images were really awesome.

[@DavidSkok1]

Great video - nicely done. Shows the evolution and thought process very well. Thanks!

[@anthonybodin5848]

Love your videos pye. From Philippines.

[@cosmo0080]

hi Pye you went from a expensive lens to a lesser expensive lens i would dare say that most people watching this do so as a hobby, i also would spend a lot of money on a lens but i earn money with my photography most do not try working with a 50m 1.8 as i think most will have that lens. including you thank you for the video

[@ginachristoforou501]

uau wonderful

[@uxmanxardar4809]

Best as always. Please bring some wedding photography tutorials

[@haiderhusain9964]

good way to explain and easy learning..

[@ShadowlightPhotography]

Man that sunshine, think UK mustered about a few weeks of it this year 🤣😂 - sweet portraits, stunning model, always appreciate the tips Pye!

[@heyokaikaggen6288]

weeks; ha, ha, ha...

[@parthstudio5295]

very good

[@williamborges3914]

Looks like a great day at, perhaps, Crystal Cove? A little note for the commenters asking where they can get palm fronds like Pye's: palms grow like weeds in southern California. They even sprout up in pavement cracks. So, once the plague has subsided, book a flight to SNA or LAX. 😉

[@ishraqueshawon9473]

Great teacher!

[@caribgen]

Great video , I think I may just try something like that .Lovely model too .

[@zurcfamily]

Excellent model...

[@actuallyrichie]

awesome video and love your tips!

[@4sabrinan]

Fantastic tips! 🤩

[@ProEditingLooks]

Awesome I want to make this tutorial on my channel

[@BrunoWilke]

Very nice!!!

[@richski8061]

lol. Love her reaction! :D

[@NECHOLA]

Pye, with the photos under the tree, how are you getting catchlights?

[@jeevaarun2927]

Really enjoyed this one , Can u please teach how to shoot Rear curtain Sync in Eos R5,,, im Not getting that settings and unable to do it

[@randyfox5317]

I love your use of the palm frond. (I like saying frond...) Since your arm isn't a couple of feet longer, can you just bring a 12/24 inch stick/pole with a heavy duty clamp on it to extend your props?

[@eddieteabagify]

I like it very much.

[@larsmichael7162]

nice use of the lens hood 😜

[@peterivarsson9267]

Great vid and awesome pictures. Can you spell the palm word?

[@miguelvazquez01]

This are great examples but I count stop noticing how she needed help with the dress and how really blinded she was by the Sun. Props to her for keeping her professionalism.

[@heyokaikaggen6288]

If you take a look at Kiara's Instagram you'll see the variety of work that she does. It's pretty interesting, from this shoot I would never have guessed how much fitness stuff there would be.

[@brunochalaupka5676]

I love your work my friend! I always like your videos etc, Today I saw the leafs and I use to work with plants but How can I buy the artificial ones, Where I can find it please Thank you so much

[@hakzolot]

Can you link the palm frond you used

[@gurayoanriveraortiz5478]

I like the video. Thanks for it. Love that you always put all the settings. But i was thinking, doesnt taking her out from the beach, might as well take the photo somewhere else? Also, is it possible to use low budget gear when doind the videos since this is what begginers have and this are videos for begginers right? Thanks though.

[@BineetMohanty]

Pye. What is your thought using VAR ND filter in the last shots , I would think 🧐 would be good … please let us know .

[@medipu2030]

please share retouching methods for thouse particular photos please 🙏

[@testimony-]

Nice! Do you remember where you purchased the Palm Frond?

[@nicepeeps1]

Lovely but at 7 mins, I actually preferred the framing which the camera person had, with the pergolas in the back.

[@balukblah963]

I noticed, you don't normally use any camera straps,...am a sucker for Peak designs Strap,.!!.lol

[@i.m.5621]

I wonder why you didn't use sun hood in such a bright sun. Is it an intention or a mistake? Or do those lenses generate no glare? And with such a reversely mounted sun hood, you can't comfortably use the zoom ring at 28-70. Anyway tutorial, tips and photos are great :-)

[@christopherdixon7153]

Am I the only one that liked the before image better?

[@iKeto_gal]

The light and airy look is what a lot of clients like... I noticed from many wedding photographers here on KZbin and Instagram they have that look to their wedding photos. But ya I too like the before but it's all about the client you hire in the end.

[@creativevisiongaming]

Is there a name for that kind of chair?

[@dawnmist2259]

Yep it’s called a peacock chair 🦚

[@rajibandtufan9933]

👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌🙏🙏

[@danbazan1691]

I just dont get the dreamy look, blown out. why, why...ahhhh

[@stanleyprendergast2133]

So I’m just saying the one that she’s in the chair.. the after looks extremely blown out.

[@nyn2k259]

Nice video guys but I'll say this why don't you all put away the 3/4k camera & lens & use cheaper gear instead of saying hey any camera cud work (Yea I see you Pye) use the canon RP (Which I own lol) & tht lens or adopt EF lens like canon 35 RF. Or T7/8i or 90d or a sony or Nikon etc etc. So most ppl can relate & feel even better about the gears they have.

[@cool555breeze]

"Pro Tip... Lens cap" 🤣

[@thomashallerbuchanan4288]

Properly done, you don't need props with a lovely model and diaphanous billowy dress. Just concentrate on her!

[@riyaz851]

Is it only me thinks this shoot is boring! No offense I am just a buyer.

[@smellgoodphotography7722]

Great video
