In the second scenario, why use an orange colored gel at all if your goal is to have the light look white? Why not use a daylight balanced flash and set your ISO accordingly? I didn't notice any changes or improvements in the background ambient light in the sky. What did I miss?
Dropping the temperature on the camera gives you a richer and more dramatic background. The orange gel just gives the subjects the correct color skin tone.
Absolutely love your videos and teaching style, dear Pye, just the music is too much, too dominant, for an HSP almost unbearable to listen to. Please reconsider, thank you! 😎
But what if the ambient light comes from LED light? I find they have all kind of different temperatures, making it difficult to choose the right gel colour.
Great video, thanks. I'm guessing in your studio when you're talking, it looks like you're white balanced for daylight, so that's forcing your background lights to be deep orange? Would have been good to point that out, since at a wedding it might not look good, but in your studio it's a stylized look that looks great.
Hi, I enjoyed the video but can you explain why you would shoot at 1/30th shutter speed? I understand you might want a little more light into the lens as it’s dark but are you not opening yourself up to camera shake?
In the article, it was explained that the shutter was actually 1/50th sec which when using a 50mm would not introduce camera shake. They also used an 85mm lens as well.
His white balance is 3600 Kelvin which makes everything blue. The CTO gel on the flash makes the couple look normal instead of blue. For more information about this, watch the following: th-cam.com/video/YTjZOwt5h_4/w-d-xo.html
Pye you are an amazing photographer!!! You blow my mind with this video expecially with the second light effect you got just from one light source. I have never thought of using a flash like this!! Thank you sharing your techniques!!!
I got a wedding last night with the dance floor having a blue light. All of my shots of the subject turned blue. How do you correct this using a gel and a flash without ruining the mood?
in nightclub photography I use mirrors to create some sort of second light if they are near by. anyway I just got these gel kits for my b1. Cant wait to use them soon. They were a bit overpriced but that us profoto for you.
I tried it by setting up a yellow and further orange gel (Diffuser cap) on my off camera flash/Speedlite. It really makes a lot of difference. Thanks for the tip. Saves from a lot of post production work of white balance correction. Subscribed :)
Com todo o respeito. Eu acredito que a última foto foi tirada em f.4 e não na f1.4, caso contrário, apenas o braço da garota estaria em foco. A profundidade de campo não permitira que tudo estivesse em foco.
Great information, I will be using your technique very soon. I was looking for more lighting techniques to set me apart from the rest of the crowd. As always you are a great teacher. Thanks Pye!
+Janice K Flashes don't have a dial to turn up down white balance, is that what you are asking? Sorry might be missing the question. To modify light white balance we have to use gels, but a dial of sorts I am sure will be something that will happen in the future =)
Okay. Thank you. I think I got confused. White balance can be determined in camera without a flash. When a flash is on the camera one needs to have the gel because the flash has its own different temperature. Right?
Flash is only one color, normally a daylight-ish color. Changing the white balance on the camera can change the color appearance of the flash after the photo is taken and viewed. He gelled the flash because he wanted the flash to match the background or ambient light a certain way or contrast from it to get the look he desired and set the camera white balance manually accordingly. This is more of an advanced technique.
He was probably using a 24 or 28, the focus zone increases as the focal length goes down. Plus, the subject's position is also important. Notice that both their faces seem to be on the same plane, which will reduces blur, but the focus point seems to be around her eye.
I'd like to see more of the Profoto B2 - the initial review you did was great but would like to know your thoughts having (presumably) used it for over a year now.
Pye is the best instrutor/educator in Photography business.
Couldn't agree with you more..He breaks it down....explains it and then gives you the results....👍
yas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree 💯 And he's interesting. Some photogs are so boring. Not speaking of any New England couple in particular, but some just drone on and on. 😳😂

Dropping the temperature on the camera gives you a richer and more dramatic background. The orange gel just gives the subjects the correct color skin tone.
What are the two tiny flashes at the end? Is there another off camera light than the reflected light?

I know you know but I am going to say it your amazing

This was very usefull. Thanks

@@ronspeer i thought you usually wanna shoot minimum double the shutter speed to mm focal length..in other words 1/100sec to 50mm
Hey, what picture style do you generally use? Do you have some tips on Picture Styles? Do you modify any of them? (ps: love your channel)
Felipe Elyas Gomes The only picture style is RAW
stylistic setup looked amazing :)
hats off for Mr.Pye. nice lighting setup
1:40 why does his camera screen go blue if he's going warmer?
His white balance is 3600 Kelvin which makes everything blue. The CTO gel on the flash makes the couple look normal instead of blue. For more information about this, watch the following:

Thanks for the tips!
I love this idea 🙏 sir, one light can be used in two way with reflector. Thanks sir🙏🙏🙏🙏 for this awesome trick.. 🙌

Very helpful video, Pye. Thank you for the fantastic series. Very nice. I'm from Bangalore, India. Hi.
Thank you very much for this video...
I learnt good lighting techniques from you.
Keep up the good job
Hi Guys! So I'm guessing this lighting is the same as you use for first dances? Color temperature/gel, I mean?
Beautiful! But there's so many ways to get beautiful and different looks. Only limited to your own imagination.
Com todo o respeito. Eu acredito que a última foto foi tirada em f.4 e não na f1.4, caso contrário, apenas o braço da garota estaria em foco. A profundidade de campo não permitira que tudo estivesse em foco.
What a good video.
Great information, I will be using your technique very soon. I was looking for more lighting techniques to set me apart from the rest of the crowd. As always you are a great teacher. Thanks Pye!
How much cost the flash with battery to use outside without plugging in the energy
Where can I buy the decoration light system like yours? Thank you.
what is the name of the B2 light you used in this video?
Profoto B2
Doset darimmmm pye hats off🙋🏼♀️
What is the light boom that's used?
This monopod: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1059033-REG/manfrotto_mmcompact_bk_compact_aluminum_monopod_black.html/i/BI/5982/KBID/6868
amazing, I learnt so much! Thanks for the awesome video.
amazing
Helpful
2 model is having a wedding, just wow.
This is gold :)
Wow, amazing results! Can the same be achieved with speedlites??
+John Wells Yes, absolutely.
How do you get everyone in focus with an aperture of 1.4? Am a newbie...
they must be in the same plane..
was is 1/4 cto , from color seems more?
hi pye u had already uploaded this video under profoto us on 18 th april
learn two different lightening techniques
+Manish Arora Yes, we are hitting both channels with it =)
👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the video!
very cool..i mean awesome image..
Enjoyed very much! Nice :)
THIS W VERY USEFULL. THANKS
Nice! Thank you.
Question: To change the white balance: Instead of gelling why is it that you cannot simply turn down the dial on the camera to 3500 on the flash?
+Janice K Flashes don't have a dial to turn up down white balance, is that what you are asking? Sorry might be missing the question. To modify light white balance we have to use gels, but a dial of sorts I am sure will be something that will happen in the future =)

Thanks. Great answer. There are things I know, but sometimes it has to sink in a little better. Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks a lot!
Fantastic!!!

Amazing 😍
Stunning!
Nice Sir
Rs plz
Nice effect
how do you use f1.4 and have por seems to have all the couple in focus?
He was probably using a 24 or 28, the focus zone increases as the focal length goes down. Plus, the subject's position is also important. Notice that both their faces seem to be on the same plane, which will reduces blur, but the focus point seems to be around her eye.

Can you teach those techniques with Phottix Mitros Plus strobes?
