- Dive into the world of portrait lighting with Pye Jirsa, talented photography educator, as he unravels the setups behind the five primary lighting patterns in our latest MagMod TH-cam video.
This comprehensive tutorial isn't just about mastering techniques; it's about understanding the storytelling depth each pattern can add to your portraits, from the flattering effects of flat lighting to the dramatic shadows cast by split lighting.
The different lighting patterns discussed include flat, butterfly (or paramount), loop, Rembrandt, and split lighting. Whether you're wielding a Canon, Nikon, Sony or any camera of your choice, coupled with our game-changing MagMod Pro 42 Octa, this video is your ticket to elevating your photography game.
Pye demystifies each lighting setup with practical demonstrations, ensuring you grasp the nuances of short vs. broad lighting, and how these techniques can slim or broaden your subject's appearance. Ever wondered why Rembrandt lighting is the go-to for drama and depth? Or how to achieve that iconic shadow under the nose with butterfly lighting? This video covers it all, including why certain lighting patterns work better for different scenarios, from edgy fashion shoots to soft, elegant wedding portraits.
We're also giving away a free downloadable lighting guide, created by Trevor Dayley and Pye Jirsa, packed with tips, tricks, and lighting patterns to inspire your next shoot.

This has to be the most clear to the point informative video on lighting patterns I have seen yet. Great job man! More more more!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the video!
Pye's very soft and low key approach to teaching makes it so enjoyable to watch.
Pye and Kiara are the best team for photography! KEEP THESE TWO COMING BACK! I NEED MORE!
Pye Jirsa is probably thee best photographer teacher I have come across
This is how photographic tutorials should be taught. Thank you very much.🙏
Best lighting tutorial I have seen and I absolutely love the way you teach Pye. I always learn a lot from your videos.
Isn’t he amazing!
This was super easy to follow and has answered so many of my questions. Keep doing what you're doing, I'm here for it!
Ever since i started following you as a tutor, my skill as a creative has greatly increased
Love the simplicity of the explanations. None of this long drawn out things for no reason to not get to the point!
Just When you think you’ve seen it all. Then Pye comes up and boom! Pye is the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) Master. It can never be simpler and effective than this.
I LOVE THE WAY HE MAKES EVERYTHING EASIER TO LEARN!
Pye is a master teacher. Clear. Consice. If Pye is on watch, learn and practice it.
Simple, descriptive to the point and why each works the way they do. Thanks to you and the lovely Boricua!
One of the best tutorials on the subject. Thank you!
Fantastic demo/tutorial. Also, amazing audio and a very nice "stage" in which to present. The beauty of this video, besides great educational content, is the fact that the presenter is SO comfortable with his presentation... no one had to jump-cut the crap out of the piece. Great flow and a very nice, no BS presentation. It held my attention from beginning to end.
As a professional photographer it was a great reminder about the type's of lighting patterns, great job
This tutorial is perfect for explaining the different lighting techniques.
That’s what we were hoping for. Pye nailed it!
Very clear explanation. Battled with broad and short lighting. Your explanation helped. Thanks Pye
Awesome video and explanation Pye! Thank you for sharing. Great job Kiara on the posing.
Another outstanding Pye lighting lesson! Many thanks.
Just WOW ! Thanks for the quick guide!
You the man, Pye! Absolutely love your vids
I could just listen to Pye all day 💚 What a voice 😍
Thank you for this video. I particularly love its clarity, its simplicity and its aesthetics. Wonderful outfit and makeup, too!
This is the first tutorial on the subject I see with ideas when the different portrait lights are a good choice.
You folks rock!
Great explanation of the different lighting setups. I completely forgot about the broadside and short side rules ... thank you for the refresher
Pye Jirsa is an outstanding teacher, so I’m here for all the content. Whether it’s something I already know or not. Still going to stay tuned.
Agree!
Love this. Thank you!
Super clear with just enough detail.
Simple and to the point thank you Pye
looooved this video, such a go-to for basics along with correct, simple to understand technical pointers for each style. thanks Mag & Pye! ⚡
Very helpful and enjoyable tutorial to watch and learn. Appreciate the time you take to explain the aspects of what equipment you are using, the settings and what to look for in lighting the subject. Please continue with more.
I’m just glad you gave her the props for being so jacked! I was coming here for it😂
love it. Ive been a photographer for years and never knew the names for all these setups!
This is an amazing lighting tutorial. Very educative. Much appreciated.
Great job always to the DYNAMIC DUOS!!!!
I've seen a LOT of people attempt to explain lighting patterns...
Seriously... A LOT!
On TH-cam, at photography trade shows, even a professor teaching photography at a university a lifetime ago.
Not one of them managed to explain the subject as clearly and without the use of (very poor) metaphors!
Well done, this was a perfect teaching video, and I've been able to send this as a resource for people asking me questions about lighting patterns.
Love your videos. They're always informative and helpful.
Absolutely brilliant - exactly what I was looking for thank you as a refresher - I will say this:
This is the best channel without exception for flash. I wasn't sure that I would warm to Pye, I feared he would be too cool and smug, (as many other's working in this medium very often are, I name no names) but he turns out to be an excellent teacher, very down to earth, explains everything very very well, very clearly. Not a moment of patronising showboating, examples for everything. The models / talent (what ever is the correct name) are obviously top professionals, and clearly he has a good (working) relationship with them (unlike many others working in this medium, again I name no names).
This is the only channel anyone needs to learn flash photography, look no further. You have arrived.
Such a great tutorial. Simple, broken down, well explained.
Nice job explaining as usual, you are a favorite teacher of our craft.
Love this video and Pye - very clear instructions
This is one of the most informative lighting videos that I’ve watched. Helps me a great deal I use off camera flash extensively!! Thank you Pye!
Thank you for providing these very informative videos, you guys are amazing and so is your product! Keep up the good work!
Awesome video! Great summary of lightning techniques.
Extremely thorough and very helpful! Thanks for this.
Yep - doing a good job! Its so helpful to have a simple demonstration of the different lighting styles. Thanks!
Pye and Kiara rocked it!
Extremely well explained, with clear examples.
Thankyou
Nice Job Pye as always. You rule! Love to see more on the magshere xl when and how to use it.
After shooting for some time I came across this video and it is soooo helpful! i learned alot with this video thank you!
I TRULY ENJOY PYE AND KIARA. PYE IV’E BEEN FOLLOWING YOU FROM DAY ONE AND YOUR ONE YOU ARE THE MOST WELL ROUNDED AND AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER ON TH-cam, AND BELIEVE ME… I FOLLOW A LOT OF FANTASTIC PHOTOGRAPHS HERE ON TH-cam. KIARA SUPER DOPE AS WELL. KEEP UP ALL OF THE AMAZING WORK PYE AND KIARA!

MagMod, Thanks for a most informative simplified lighting information, keep the good content coming.
Thanks a lot for that great informative video. Love it !
Super concise and clear video... Thank you, Pye! Also loved the SLR Lounge's Lighting 101 and 201 courses. They were my best training purchases
Perfect tutorial, thanks for clearly explaining all different forms of lighting.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! I just got back to Photography and im learning alot from this chanel
This is brilliant. So so so informative.
That's a very useful video Pye, come back with more! e.g. A real photoshoot with any model with one light setup and creating different styled images in studio just by changing the light position and maybe model outfit.
This was great to actually see how the light placement of the various shots were done. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Clear and useful! Thank you!
Once again great video easy to follow and would be good to see videos with different soft boxes
Yes please, more learning!
I really love your lighting videos!
Love ur work Thank you!
Keep producing these super helpful videos!

@@MagnetMod placing an order this week for the starter kit as well
Very easy to understand. Nice work 👍🏼
Very well explained video, thank you.
Pye is too good at this shit man, this is quality content.
Very nice and useful tutorial! Well done!👏👏👏
Very useful.. to the point tutorial.. thanks a lot ❤❤
very cool i love learning new techniques
Great and finnely a video that is very easy to follow ❤
excellent tutorial , Thank you
My Guy Pye. 🔥🔥
Very nice and direct (no pun intended) explanation of some fundamental lighting concepts. Of course, this was all with a single light, which is great, but now you could start to fill this out with companion videos using two or three lights. This could be the start of a nice collection or series of video on lighting that I think a lot of people would love to have access to. Other may have already commented in this below, so please forgive the repetition. Great job!
Always so good!
I don't generally just like all of Pye's videos in terms of their style and language, so I'm not a natural fan. But ... this one is .... just very good! Logical storyline. Visuals and demonstrations to support it. Well-made slides to highlight key points. Nice anecdotal touches. Gear well within the reach of amateurs. A (beautiful) model with a great look to support demonstrations. Well filmed. Pleasant audio, pace, language. Great job, team (+Pye!).
Thank you, nicely done
Solid knowledge, clear explanation. Great content.
Thank you for the encouraging words
Great work amazing well explained as always 🎉
Thank you so much for the video, I always want to learn about flash lighting, never found anything until this video. Can you do more video like this with 2 or 3 lights?
Straight forward teaching! Amazing video
So glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. I will be buying more in the future. Just got a 24”
Great informative video.
Thanks
Very informative. Thank you!
Great summary, thanks!
great job. excellent information.
this guy is an awesome tutor 😎, KEEP ROLLIN ❤
Glad you loved it!
Yesssss bring them back
I learned so much from this video a lot of helpful tips.
Excellent!
Great teaching. Would be great to see 'hard' portraits with the sphere, bounce and grid - which is what many have on location. Thanks again!
Really great primer. Love it. Mag mod is becoming a go to source for me.
We super appreciate that!
Great video and explanations .Thank you ! Could you do a similar with two lights ?
Very Nice Video. Great tips on lighting.
Thanks so much!
THANKS 4 THE TIPS
