The Underrated Umbrella: Studio Lighting Made SIMPLE
While an umbrella is likely one of the first lighting modifiers a portrait photographer owns, it is often the most underutilized item as you grow. In this video, we're going to show you the power of an easy one-light setup using a large flash and umbrella to go from boring to beautiful in just a few minutes.

I have not seen this much clear, precise practical teaching video in my life... Thanks a lot.
that was a great video, umbrella ka-ching! I am waiting for you. I love photoshoots with Chelsea.
Ty for your time, will work on that this week-end.
This was a nice lighting tutorial. Also I like the way he paid attention to her hair, it can make or break a shot for your portrait client. We have our Canon synced to the Canon Camera Connect app on our Ipad. It helps so much too view the images larger than whats on the back of your camera and our client enjoys seeing the photos larger too. You might not catch something that doesn't look good with the hair or clothing if you are just viewing on your camera.
Love it!!!! Thank you
Great video! Now I just need a Chelsea!
Great video.... This is why I like continuous lighting vs strobe/flash. Great work
Your explanations are always on point! You make photography fun for people that don't have the way expensive gear. Great video!
I love using one light but now you’re making me want to start busting out my umbrella now! Love the light from this!
Great video you make it look so easy
Super Pye... Nice video.. Loved it.. Thanks a lot..
Thank You!
YES!
Thanks for this video. Chelsea is an amazing model. :-) ;-)

Thanks for watching!
He makes smart videos, I have learned a lot the only prob is he always uses equipment that is out of my price range and the equipment makes the difference. Still I really like his vids.
Thank you such a great video
shes gorgeous
Thanks Pye, that was a really clear demonstration of how to control light and especially setting an appropriate exposure to exclude the ambient light you can't control. I see why you so often feature Chelsea. She looks lovely but most importantly, flows through poses and expressions so naturally. You need to stop abusing her.😂
One quick question - why not shoot at 100 or 200 ISO ? Must say V-Flats are so helpful.

Cause he probabaly didn’t want to, not like the camera can’t take a photo at 800 iso

The shots would have been underexposed, which means he would have needed to use a shutter speed that was to slow to exposure properly. By increasing the iso you’re able to increase the shutter speed to freeze the subject. Flash can freeze movement but you still need an acceptance shutter speed.

@@ggstylz I didn't get it because for proper exposure he can compensate with more flash power which he has plenty of.
i use the shoot thru umbrella method a lot, out on location. I've even put one up high on a dancefloor or stage during events
What did you call that, a V flat? Why do some of these umbrella lighting kits come with like two white umbrella lights and two black umbrellas? Does one of them work as V flat?
You totally remind me of Louis Rossman! Great video!!
Hi Pye. Isn't a little dark the final photo? Why don't you use 900 or 1000 iso or power up the prophoto? Thanks in advance...
Hello sir, what if you reduce the shutter speed, wont that take care of the ambient light?
nice presentation
5:47 new Final Destination movie starts here
Super
Very nice. I was wondering about your opinion on posing and crop. Ive seen other people in the past, post similar stuff and if one limb is out of the shot, they get blasted for cutting off a limb. Any thoughts or rules to this would be appreciated.
Love u pye
Love your sarcastic funny comments, great Tutorial and model
Why did you choose daylight white balance (not flash WB) when using the umbrella?
Hi if possible ,do you have any interested in doing a review of the Falcon Eyes RX-24TDX II LED Video light's review ?
@4:20.....irony, or...."1-2 watt-seconds" being the lowest power output?; is that correct? I ask because a typical (Nikon) speedlight is 50w/s, and @1/128th, should be appx. 7 watts. Or a setting still so LOW as to be unusable for portraiture. In my own cases, shooting thru an umbrella, I'm basically at 1/2 power, shooting F/8, ISO 100. Or....25w/s.
What's the size of the umbrella?
I love you pie I mean PYE You’re the man we can invite me to your office give me a tour I live in orange county
First comment, yeaaaaaaaaaaah 😂😂😂
Fix your gear links ;)
If you a megshephre togethe this will remove all specular light on the skin. Some people dosent have this perfect skin
WHY WHY WHY ? In these videos do you always use a light costing $1000 + ? We aren't all rich you know, how about making something similar with something affordable ?
