  Pye, you are not only a great photographer but also an excellent teacher:medal-yellow-first-red:. Your videos have encouraged me to move to the MagMod setup. I have learned so much from every single video. Most importantly, your voice and your breakdown of the process are just refreshing. Looking forward to learn more from you.

  Absolutely brilliant - exactly what I was looking for thank you as a refresher &nbsp;- I will say this:<br><br>This is the best channel without exception for flash. I wasn&apos;t sure that I would warm to Pye, I feared he would be too cool and smug, (as many other&apos;s working in this medium very often are, I name no names) &nbsp;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).<br><br>This is the only channel anyone needs to learn flash photography, look no further. You have arrived.

  Great VID! My problem with this small light source is you have to position the light &nbsp;in such a way that it falls flat on the face. If you position this small light source at a 45 degree angle with the subject looking straight on you get unpleasant harsh shadows. In your shot the model is looking to the side and &nbsp;in the direction of the flash which does not cause harsh shadows. So in my opinion it does work, but light placement is crucial. Am I missing something?

  I just started watching your tutorials like a week now (Nov 4th/2025) and I see they have been taken 2yrs ago. &nbsp;Are you creating newer contain? I assumed these older tutorials are still relevant or have your techniques changed and your equipment too?<br><br>Thank you Pye!

  I do the same thing except I ask my model&apos;s angle and &nbsp;light the short side. And i I try my best to make my artificial light seamless as much as possible. I love this tutorial 😊.

  Hmm interesting so basically usually its taught to compensate 2 stops underexposed on the camera when using flash. I assume that&apos;s for the dramatic side of things.
