So much to absorb in this short video. Not only lighting but how you communicate, plan and confidence in approach. Great to watch

[@fotografie-alexander-vogt]

thanks, love the poses

[@stevecraig9384]

Good to see again 👍

For me, that's a new and interesting twist on mixed lighting and the distance between the subjects and flash units. The resulting images are spectacular. Thanks for sharing this video.

Great video!! 2 flashes on different group, group A, group B, got it. What is the difference if both groups A-B, are on a same channel, or different channels?? Thanks!

[@williamborges3914]

Thanks, Pye, for showing how relatively easy it is to use several flashes set to different control channels for dramatic on-location effects. A big plus for this video is the use of Wossamotta U's (aka, Chapman University) auditorium steps as a location. The winter light there at dusk can be magic. ♥️

[@heatherk9094]

just wondering why one would use different channels. (I haven't done this before). thanks!

Thanks for watching! What would you like to learn next?

[@adelgundyrin9309]

Show us how to photograph wild polar bears at the North Pole with a Fisheye lens.😅

[@adelgundyrin9309]

I would like to learn more about how to photograph with color filters (gels) in various conditions - indoors, on the streets (sunset, night...), concerts.

[@MakersTeleMark]

I think that would make an amazing boudoir couple at that moment showcasing the beauty of pregnancy for that couple to share.

Hello sir Very helpful video Thanks so much sir

[@jlopez7596]

Good video as always. I can pose people all day long but getting expressions is tough for me. Do you have suggestions or a videos on how to interact to get natural expressions.

[@watchdogu.s.a.8973]

Before the session, spend some time talking with your subjects to learn about them. You don't want to make someone smile who generally doesn't smile or doesn't like their smile... or at least big smiles. You see "professionals" all the time ask their subjects to smile but you should NEVER tell them to smile unless they're professional models who can fake a real smile on cue. Use phrases/say things that cause your subjects to smile naturally or engage in other small talk. If the smile is too big, look at your subject with a similar smile on your face and slowly relax your smile to a gentle, closed-lip smile or whatever it is you're wanting based on what you learned from your talks before the session. Then... do some of each, anyway. Telling people to smile usually will get a fake look because, unless we, as humans hear or see something to cause that emotion we - generally speaking - can't create a natural appearing smile on cue. Write a list of short phrases and remember them. Practice with a friend so it feels natural when you're with a subject. Have fun and your subject will have fun.

super sorted sir

[@asuquobassey1202]

Hi Pye, nice video. I've noticed in your portraits/oics, you always have a lot of headroom. Is that intentional, your style? What's the reason

[@MrGeorgephadel]

Why high speed sink for this shot? It is not that bright!! Please explainThank you!!

[@pyroBlastM]

Being a maternity shoot shame that the belly is too dark.
