How to Find Good Portrait Lighting ANYWHERE | Master Your Craft

[@karikaru]

Pye, you've got a crazy good video presence. Like confident, charismatic, and laid back all at once. You should teach a class on that next

[@AlmightyUniden]

Confidence comes from finding yourself, it takes a lot of inner work. Being laid back is that confidence from experience. He's been working with clients for a little while

[@payamjirsa]

Appreciate that mate!

[@phelix920]

I strongly agree

[@charleschessler4808]

Great fun. Love your videos. When shooting like this I love to shoot in Aperture Priority Mode coupled with Auto ISO and a minimum shutter speed. This way all I have to do after choosing location, framing, etc. is to choose the Aperture I want for DOF, make sure my focus point is where i want (nearest eye for this kind of thing) and then use Exposure Compensation to brighten or darken the image if needed. The ISO will automatically adjust so that I get the minimum shutter speed that I associated with Auto ISO for a steady/sharp image. I'll choose that Shutter Speed based on subject, focal length, etc. If I'm birding with a 150-600 it'll be 1/1000th or higher. For street portraits with a 35/50/85mm lens it'll be 1/125th or 1/160th. Cheers, Charles

[@gonzaloteran4579]

Amazing video! Lots of info and tips in less than 7 minutes... Also you´ve got me at "We don´t need to advertise this building..." 🤣

[@pratikdesai8355]

Fun video with a lovely positive vibe. One small respectful observation - the first 3 out of the 5 situations weren't explained so well in terms of seeing and exploiting available light. Those first three scenarios were more about explaining composition, which doesn't really fit with the title of the video or the introduction.

[@iKeto_gal]

Kiara, love your cardigan. Would love to know the brand or where you got it 😊

[@IamKiaraZayas]

Hi :) is Michael Kors

[@BostonFeliksovich]

👍👍👍

[@payamjirsa]

Thank you!

[@helpfixstupid6190]

Do you have a video for shooting indoors, with the house lights while looking at a window on a sunny day? Basically, get the correct exposure of a room when the shades are open (or there are no blinds, shades to seal off the sun).

[@rowliv]

Awesome. I love how you just take the picture and make it whatever you want in post. Do you have a course where you show step by step your post process?

[@timothylee5824]

Great content, as always, thank you! Do you train jiu jitsu as well? Would love to see a tutorial of how to photograph an indoor sport like BJJ.

[@payamjirsa]

I do, I think we did a video on that a little while back on the channel.

[@rauldelatorre7934]

hello do you have tutorial how you edit that in lightroom ?

The head space his giving on the rule of thirds gives me headaches 😅

[@p4welo]

Actually not much about the lighting has been told...

[@OniYT-WR]

This should be titled how to find a good location for portraits , not lighting.

[@wanneske1969]

I don't think a 35 mm is suited for these kind of portraits

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

Photographic skills are way above his social manners. The word "please" does not seem to exist in his vocabulary. How is the model supposed to enjoy posting without any visual feeback? After all - I guess - paying her is enough.

[@jigerwala420]

Sigma 35 mm f/1.4! is a basic lens ? any one who owns this lens is not need this video and he not told anything about what camera he is using. not worth to watch. implicitly he saying that if you want low light photos then buy any fast lens (i.e., 1.4 or less) and a full frame DSLR (which he not even mentioned) .
