Another slice of Pye! Love everything he does!

[NiniRockX]

Wow, yes🙏🏻These images are amazing 👍🏻

Scene 3 at 7:40. Looks like light is 20 feet away, my question is what was the power setting for this shot on the B10X plus strobe? Wondering if you used all 500 watts?

What pole is being used with the flash & modifier. Great video! Very informative.

As someones asked, I’d like to know what stand is used in this video. Indeed, Profoto staff talked to me about Manfrotto Nanostand, but it seems that it can support only 1, 5 Kg, what is certainly not enough for a flash and a modifier like these… Thanks per advance if you have the answer! 😉

🔥🔥🔥perfect as usual !! killer teacher

[darksoulsmom]

Did the softbox come with both internal diffusion panels (full and half stop)?

[themando]

Hi Pye,
What mount are you using to hold the flash/octa?

[tomasramoska]

Pye what is the monopod you using? Looks like SIRUI with legs but I'm not sure.

This may be a dumb question, but can you use those soft boxes if you shoot another brand strobe?

[williamborges]

Did the couple do something so evil to you that you decided to pose them in JTNP's cholla patch to get even? 😂🌵

[chocloditelensman]

I feel bad for grip holding that light at a weird angle…he has to have the strongest or sorest biceps around. C-stand with arm ??

[cuckoohaus]

Hi Pye what monopod are you using? I purchased the Mag Mod Mag Shoe based off your usage and I don’t own a monopod….

[seanyessmann]

"There's no other word for it....a shaft of light"
....beam? lol

[readitoutloud]

I’m more interested in the permit process to shoot commercially in Joshua tree. What was the process like? It’s a daunting task within a winding road.

Un antico saggio ci insegna che puoi fare queste foto, anche con flash che non sono Profoto e realizzarle in maniera migliore

[andrewelder]

Fun shoot, and cool location!! But I miss the notation of which DVLOP pack was used for the Final Images tho! Mood? Radiant?

[eotceotc]

Can you achieve this with a 400 watt strobe?

[micknificent]

Wait a minute, did I hear Pye, a Canon user hinted at using the Sony A9 iii with the global shutter? Sometimes in the future Pye’s suggestion will be all towards all cameras.
