Using Overhead Bounce to Create Dramatic Lighting | Lighting 101

In this video, I wanted to demonstrate the purpose of bouncing light overhead as a means of creating interesting definition and powerful highlights. With just a simple adjustment in position, your flash is modified to produce directional and controlled light. This video is a sample from our Lighting 101 Workshop.

Anyone else notice Pye's assistant is the guy from the "How to Find the Right Light Direction" video? Or am I the only one binging every single one of their videos? hahah.
Thanks for all of the amazing content and info Pye. Your talent and generosity are appreciated.

Thanks for touching on the differences between white & silver ceiling bounce (Alum+Insulated-ceilings=is what I've got) and that micro note regards a speed-lite-dome to get > "some-light-onto-the-face" + and I'm not yet subscribed = ouch :(

4:24 the lighting makes it look like his belly is sticking out. The ambient light seems better

Impractical. A V Flat for a ceiling just to bounce a speedlite? This is hardly Lighting 101, more like we need to fill a few minutes on a DVD so lets see how daft we can be. If you're going to demonstrate bouncing a speedlite off a ceiling as a tutorial, go somewhere appropriate... Not the usual SLR Lounge quality material.
