[@slrlounge]

Thanks for watching! Comment below what you'd like to learn next!

[@DimplePoji]

Every vid from U is a learning opportunity regardless of the topic

[@nataliebelousova3195]

I would love to see after processing from this video ❤

[@Gsoulgraphix_]

One thing I liked about this video is for the fact it’s so understandable… it’s like teaching the child how to crawl while you crawl along with him. Thank you.

[@jasongreenwood3260]

Expression should match the pose....this phrase and explanation just opened the clouds for me. Crazy.

[@danielhentz155]

You rock, Pye! I've always found your tutorials to be accessible, your delivery tasteful, and the takeaways clear. Thank you!

[@lazyeagle6035]

So helpful to have talent like that out of their shell with poses etc. You could just let that guy go for 30 minutes and get amazing shots. Great instruction and guidance.

[@alonzohollingsworth7712]

That was one of the best videos I've watched from you. The delivery of your points related to lighting and how much of a difference between a strong image and an average image was conveyed so clearly. Loved it, even after watching it 3 times already, I got more from it each time. Your model was awesome as well, big Kudos to Jesus. 💯

[@tonysluna]

Model Name is Jhesus Aponte

[@AdeKingProductions]

All I can say here is thanks. Creative illumination of the fundamentals.

[@adammaraschky3845]

This is more about posing and working with a subject than studio lighting fundamentals. Not bad suggestions, but not what I was looking for.

[@orlandocelis3850]

It only educational but entertaining as well. Exquisite work. It always helps to have a talented model. MORE please.

[@CJDuckett]

This is one of the best videos on lighting and posing I’ve ever seen. Thanks Pye!

[@karolinab-l5625]

Mega super! Nigdy tu nie byłam u ciebie. Bardzo mi się podoba z jaką lekkością opowiadasz o tym, jak intuicyjnie, według własnego wyczucia i gustu ustawiasz światło i pozy. Super ! Samam fotografuję i własnie najbardziej cenie sobie zaufanie do tego co widzę i co chcę osiągnąć w zdjęciach portretowych i ludzi. Będę zaglądać częściej.

[@jspohl]

Thank you! 💖✨

[@LaughingInTiny]

This was fantastic. Could have been four hours and I'd have watched the whole thing.

[@craigdixon41]

When I watch your videos I feel like I can stop subscribing from everyone else. Man you nailed it on this one. Love your work. Love the tutorials.

[@claremckechnie5623]

Awesome video, I have read the boring theory a million times, but it never sinks in, this is presented so well, everything makes sense. Thankyou, much appreciated

[@fotografmorteneriksen]

Great video, helps a lot. I tend to rush it too much, need to take the time and look over the pose more. Its a pain looking over the photos in post and realize what should have been done. Thumbs up for this one.

[@brianbecnel]

Love the focus on fundamentals. I often forget to lower my light when my model changes positions like yours did moving to a squat position from standing. Great reminder. I didn’t see much change with the negative fill but will rewatch from something other than my phone. I’ve not heard of the tip you mentioned briefly - 32” octa should be ~32” from the model. Sounds like a cool tip for quick setup.

[@tonytoffolo9915]

Great use of the metal gear alert sound effect 👏👏

[@SandroLendler]

another good one from the best Adorama presenter👌

[@EdwardKilner]

Jesus was a highly collaborative model. He seemed very interested in what you were saying and tried to strike a corresponding pose. The results should have pleased him. Well done!

[@payamjirsa]

Indeed he was !

[@timrosenthal46]

Fantastic, thanks Pye. Nice simple lighting set up as well. Great model too ...

[@tiitsay]

Thank you Pye and thank you Jesus! Very helpful.

[@glennsak]

This is fantastic. Great model and great instruction!

[@payamjirsa]

Appreciate it

[@samuelray8057]

Love the way you convey your concepts. Great advice, and I must admit I’m impressed by how sharp your images were at 5.6 when the foot was way out towards the camera:).

[@ji.hime.69]

Fantastic tutorial and model skill!

[@sushant2095]

That Metal Gear Solid SFX, ha! Another great video, Pye. Cheers!

[@creativepatatas]

I really learn a lot from this video even from your own SLR Lounge channel, about the tips I really need.

[@henrytaitano4913]

Jheus did awesome ! Awesome video as usual.

[@payamjirsa]

Appreciate it!

[@bruce-le-smith]

[@emes711]

Thank you. So beautifully explained

[@Neopulse00]

Great model and interesting poses especially the triangle one he did holding his right heel with his left hand while standing. MGS sound bite ! was hilarious 😂

[@gustavorosassanchez4188]

Thx!

[@legolaunchers-brickdestroy3584]

What flash mode are you using? Normal or TTL?

[@marios739]

very helpful, great way of talking

[@capturemeinpictures]

Thank you Pye and Adorama, I always learn from and enjoy your videos. In this example, turning the V-Flats to the white side to show the difference would have been helpful.

[@payamjirsa]

Thanks for commenting, glad you enjoyed!

[@carmenfraser-king1202]

so great

[@iplaystudios1871]

very educative

[@womplestilskin]

I think the negative fill didn't actually work. I can't see it and the physics, as I understand it, mean the far away (and black) walls are already negative fill.

[@payamjirsa]

Negative fill is usually quite subtle, a bit hard to see in videos. Give it a shot on your own.

[@zrowedaartistviews2278]

Agree with this maybe use the black side closer

[@cje3083]

i can see it. look closer.

[@LaughingInTiny]

It's adding a sharper contrast to his outer edges. It's there, just subtle. Makes for a more dynamic shot in camera.

[@TheAngryPrepper]

I agree. I had to pause & examine. I saw nothing there

[@webstermickey69]

I loved the Beyonce pose 🙂 . Great great job. Loved the audio as well. I wonder what lapel mic or whatever voice recorder you are using.

[@artursandwich1974]

7:12. I gotta have my eyes checked. The only - very subtle - differences I see in the negative fill shot are: highlight on the forehead is slightly subdued and left shoulder looks a bit brighter (and facial expression but that's not V flats effect)

[@williamcahill617]

Thank You

[@reneeeasterling9932]

Thanks

[@davidjones8070]

Cool outfit and sweet posing.

[@Batteristafoto]

That cat is a great model! How can you go wrong haha. Anyway....Some of this negative fills....Do you really need all that stuff when you can easily achieve it in post?
