really glad Pye joined the Adorama team for these videos. Super informative, right to the point and great content. Right up there with Gavin Hoey and Mark Wallace ! Love your content

[kenshinchch]

Great video as always. Thanks for all techniques you share with us. You're the best (for me!)

Amazing video. Thank you for your time and lesson. I’d love to see more composition tutorials.

Brilliant video. Pye makes it look too easy and at the same time reprimanding. Like you look at a final shot and think why could't I have thought about a shot like this. That happened to me at the shot with the negative space. Love this!

[uandersonbrittes]

nice, dude. but for my personal taste, the raw sooc looked better than the ones with the presets applied. i would just add some contrast and sharpeness to the raw images. nothing else.

Is there a link to that dodge brush tutorial mentioned at 5:53? I can't find it.

Don’t understand how the light is hitting the subject but not the background ?
