THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!

I NEVER would have thought to use sea foam as a reflector. What a clever idea!

[makesumwake]

great shots!! only thing you might try.. to get different cool looks, would be to go to F/16 or F/20, and you will be able to capture the light rays off the sun, and focus the sun in the back ground. it creates a pretty cool look, vs just having a washed out glow in the background like you get with F/2.

I am a portrait photographer near the coast of North Carolina and have used some of these techniques, like sun flares, etc. This is an excellent video with great ideas!!

[jeffziefle]

Very beautiful model and she was very professional. She was cold but determined to give you what you wanted. Great information! You are an excellent teacher. Easy to understand and you don’t “over” explain. Please keep teaching

BONUS TIP: Use a shoulder strap when shooting on the beach, specially over water =)

I watch the spectacular portraits before on this channel and now comple blinded 😎

[jbguzman]

Maybe go back with just an x100V with leaf shutter and small flash. Bet those would pop due to high flash shutter sync. These came out nice but really need that flash or at least a reflector to bring her out of the scene.

By far the most helpful video. Watching this 50 days prior to my trip to Maui. This will be so useful!!! Thanks!

[jesuscardenas]

Great tips. Just felt bad for the model, she was shaking. Applause to her for being so professional and keeping it together!!

[joelongo]

Great video. Good tips. Might I say Chelsea is a fantastic beautiful model ans a real trooper as you can see she was very cold most of the time. Especially at the end. Hope to see more Great videos Pye and be sure to uss this fantastic model again 👍👍
