  1. But why yo tell self had to turn off the lights from the light couldn’t to just turn them off from the trigger . Just asking

  2. Why not just put silver reflector in front of model on the floor? Instead of third fill light?

    1. Probably because it would have to be placed on the floor, the effect could be weak. And with light you can control the fill strength by setting the power/moving the light.

  3. Make a tutorial about wedding photography.. about lighting tips please

  4. Pye, great video as always, thank you for that. One question though…. I thought it’s an R5 you’re shooting with, didn’t know they go down to ISO 50. Am I missing something? Thanks again for the awesome content. Seriously, they way you present it, makes so much sense and is so easy to understand.

  5. Nice! How could I (we) accomplish this with the main light strobe and complimentary lights continuous?

  6. Thank you for the demo – great work (as usual). But, I simply cannot see the difference in the picture with/without negative fill! Is this only me?
