[@slrlounge]

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial! Comment below what you'd like to learn next!

[@frankedgar6694]

Thirty years ago, my kids were young. I shot lots of softball. My granddaughter is now getting married. Her wedding had prompted me to pul the camera out to start shooting again. I just watched your wedding photography for first timers and now this video. Hopefully I’ll remember enough to help her plan and deal with her photographer.

[@thesisunatorpodcast6850]

I love your style and approach to teaching. Comprehensive and yet simple .

[@nigelpugh7003]

Simple explanation of the use of lighting to change the photograph

[@jerrypollatos7935]

Another great tutorial!! The lighting setup I did not think about using. I will try to next time I'm in the studio. Your videos are always very informative. Thank you.

[@drakne1]

Thanks for this video and for share. Every single day I learn a little bit more with your knowledge. Beautiful model... Congratulations

[@simp99bird]

Thanks yet again for breaking this down into easy to follow steps. I’m definitely inspired to try to try this setup. Kiara is such a lovely model and clearly a pleasure to work with.

[@payamjirsa]

Glad you dig! Yes, she's aweome

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

Nice job on describing how you put the shot together, I would do one thing different get rid of the long lens, not necessary try an 85mm

[@JorgeLausell]

Nice! I am just working on this very set up! Nice to see you work it out. I've been using a dummy for a model. A human will stop in during the next few days. So looking forward. Thanks!

[@davidjones8070]

Those small changes make such huge differences. Really stunning. I also think your cracking up your model. Fun stuff.

[@payamjirsa]

haha, glad you dig!

[@dawngilmore4481]

Hilarious with the cut away to cleaning your shirt! 😂

[@josephchan4198]

The pictures look great!! This be great for social media or campaign.

[@mayastep4258]

Pye, love your work and your instructional style. Do you have plans to maybe shoot mens portraiture? Something along the lines of Sports Illustrated meets GQ??

[@joeldiaz141]

Your c.a.m.p. framework is my go to all the time.

[@yvonnerichard6099]

Beautiful background, light, model and photos! Really enjoyed this one!

[@alexanderpons9246]

[@CreeseWorks]

Love this. I've been wondering how to create a light one light mobile studio that could have flexibility and this is it!

[@andymcgarty3099]

Another really useful video. Great effect and control on the lights. Thanks.

[@khanguc2283]

Amazing. I really enjoyed this video and definitely will try the technique.

[@stephenmuller5098]

Simple and effective, thanks again Pye and Kiara. Umbrellas are underrated.

Amazing, i love your videos. Greetings from Brasil.

[@kavanlake871]

Nice work as usual Pye 😊👌🏾. You and Kiara always give us inspiration. I use this technique from time to time. Thank you for reminding us how gorgeous it can be.

[@payamjirsa]

Welcome! Glad you're here

[@williamborges3914]

Fun technique with gorgeous results, Pye! 'Tried a similar back-light-source/front-reflector set-up back in the dark ages with slide film no less. 'Still can't believe how well the images turned out. 😃

[@payamjirsa]

I know right!? Simple and effective setup

[@orjichukwuebukadavid237]

So amazing

[@gabriellerossonfilmstrailers]

Very interesting I’m going to try that on my shoot Monday

[@NebulaChavez]

WOW Thank you for making this video. You ROCK BABY BABY BABY

[@kimharrison3146]

Great video, Pye! I'm going to give this a try in my studio this weekend. Will be interesting and I'm really looking forward to doing something completely different.

[@payamjirsa]

Awesome!

[@Thunderbolt03]

This was awesome, I would love to try this out in the studio

[@jazzyrobn]

This is so beautiful !

[@krishnaphotographypanjabpa3060]

[@reviewsontech]

If its pye, its ultimate!

[@seun35]

[@zenphotocraftmedia8326]

[@UntilheKingcomes]

Py is the best!

[@naslisntxaij]

Amazing!!!! Love u and Kiyara!

[@lorenzofortunati]

Good job Pye

[@justcallmesando]

Beautiful!

[@prkane1]

Very impressive, never saw an umbrella used in this fashion before. What size and make is it?

[@segunkennyayeni6814]

Nice work sir..but if I may ask what was the light setup to during the shot..

[@dartagnanpascaljoseph3985]

Ok, I'm finally saying it...Kiara is gorgeous!

[@charlesbrown8764]

Hi Pye, great instructional video! I wanted to ask who makes the back drop that you used? Thanks!

[@meechcreativellc]

Handheld at 115mm @ 1/100th on that first shot? IBS / ILS be working overtime!!

[@terencew]

Thank you Pye! Would you kindly share what umbrella you used for this one?

[@peerlessportraits]

I love seeing new setups. Being a light alchemist, I try to find interesting setups that look complex but are very simple in practice. That said, since you brought attention to your shirt-I noticed how good it looks on you, but would probably look even better on me. So, instead of the typical comment asking about gear…. maybe add a link to the shirt? Yeah it’s a bit odd/creepy. But clearly, I’m not concerned about that.

[@DietrichLasa]

Gorgeous ligting!

[@eagamerzz]

Very simple setup thank for share. I will try. Light in right position is better for me. In the middle the rim is too much on her hair. Have two questions what's your backdrop support for hand-painted backdrop / and how i can make this "V-FLAT" Ty.

[@petnpetehomestead6126]

Can one use reflector instead of v-flat if it’s not available

[@toptophe]

Very interesting... but we need a 3 meter tall studio ^^

[@mirandavandenberk786]

Wow,great

[@ShiningStarStudios]

How did you build that vflat?

[@LMR65]

There's videos on how to build one, even a portable version.

[@marclabro]

interesting tuto but not obvious to have a room with such high ceiling. Why not simply using a 1x3 strip box or octabox above the head with areflector on knees or floor ?

[@sylvianosamia2839]

Not too fan of the overexposition on her shoulder. Mayby it's avery good idea to use a flashmeter. The ONLY tool suitable for measuring precisely a light.

[@martinsrensen3869]

💪💪💪

[@kumarsajal8400]

Can you make a tutorial to shoot fantastic portrait with a $2 torchlight?

[@judithbrowning5376]

How far away from the model do you need to be to use that lens?

[@svoivdosku]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@rindaintheraw]

Here to be your puppet 😂

[@paulpayne6373]

I learn from your videos but sometimes you ramble a little too much and consequently make it difficult to watch an entire video. I challenge you to watch this video and note the number of times you deviate from the topic.
