what kind of light are you using in this video? (which profoto)
ok you lost me at group lit groups and layers. sorry. im a noob. just love your work and wanted to learn new techniques.
That was one really really good video man! Looked at about 10 absolutely senseless videos before. Could have saved the time by starting with yours 🙂
You mentioned about adding your light in the direction of the natural light (to the left), why not place your light on the opposite side??? Would that not make for a great photo as well???
Please may I know why you're using a low aperture value (F4) here, I'm good with both the shutter speed and ISO but the aperture…? Don't you think (my own thoughts here) that there's that tendendency for some of the subjects to be out of focus?
Who is this guy? Does he have his own YT channel or site? I'd love to see more of his work – the photography is amazing and these tips are glorious!
I really like that shot done at 0:50 in the video at f/6.3 35mm with 5 people standing.
hi from spain! good video! Why did you use ISO 50 in the last picture?
about to put these tips into practice in about an hour! Thank you.

thanks
Great advice! It looks me a couple years to get really comfortable with group shots (because they can be a little hectic) but these are all great tips! AND love the lighting on the last group demo!
LOVE SLR LOUNGE
Awesome video!
What lens are you using ?
What lenses?
Awesome & helpful video! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice tips!
aperture f2 for group photo??? (2:59)
Thank you for this. Very usefull tips. You doingbs great job
Nice
Great group lighting tips.
So you don't use the diffuser on the beauty dish. Is that correct?
Is that Faithfull picture style?
You are funny. Thanks for the tips. Loved the last tip. Please elaborate more on it. Thank you.
Great last tip. To make sure I understand, it doesn't matter if the other subjects (who are not being lit) move when taking the shot as you are erasing them out of the other layers?
that last step was epic!
Love that last trick to light the group. Thanks
You need a great location for that -.-
u r the best dude
Dude, I like your tips but you are not funny. Please don't even try to be.
Yeah when you have a great venue then it's a lot easier to pose your groups around it.
Thank you for the Photoshop tips! I was wondering how a small light can bright up the whole group
Nice photos I would
Love to create but I can't. No offense but you didn't really teach us what to do?!
can we get a tutorial on that last technique re stacking the shots and blending out the layers.
which software did you use for developing the photos?
what lens did you use
The last tip about moving the light source while taking multiple shots was new to me and a great idea! Another tip I would add is to take a shot of the background and surroundings without anyone in the scene. This makes it easier to fill in background areas in Photoshop.
Great tips and very impressive group photos Pye, I feel inspired
