In this video, we’ll walk you through an entire autumn children’s portrait, featuring our adorable model Kaylin. You’ll learn what gear we used, how we conceptualized and lit the shot, and finally, how we finished it off with some editing finesse in Lightroom. A special thank you to Profoto for sponsoring this video and allowing us to bring such full-form, quality education to our YouTube platform.

great video
one video is enough to subscribe to your channel boss
I usually use a white mask -> paint out everything I want -> then invert the mask 🙂
Thank you so much! I learned a lot and subscribed
Great tutorial. Thank you!
You are worthy of my subscription.
Thankyou, Sir, am learning a lot from your Tutorials..!!
Great tutorial, helps a lot . Thanks!!!
Nice work
Respect to mom as well for allowing him to make this video🙏🏾🙏🏾
Super… nice
You are asowme!
A fine tutorial. Unfortunately, Open as layers in Photoshop is a function only available in Classic. As far as I can tell, it can't be done in Lightroom CC.
I tried to do the floating leaf photos so many times and only now I learnt about taking separate photos and layering/blending them into photoshop. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you for sharing so generously, Pye. I can hardly wait to try this!
Fantastic tutorial. Thanks a lot!!!
I couldn't figure out the "painting" of the eyes. What tool was that?
if u use one preset after another, here visual flow preset, then radial filter preset, won't one overwrite the changes made by the former?
Learned a lot of stuff from you. Pye!! – Interesting and thanks for sharing
Thanks! You're awesome!
Im in love with your tutorials .. you are down to earth and relateable … You make us beginners not intimtated by the technicality of the craft
Pye. Dude! I always struggled with 'flyaways' before (for just the reasons you stated). What a great shortcut to 'disconnect' them. Thanks!
cant believe i never thought about the cut off fly away technique, thanks for the awesome work as always!
Hi. I would really appreciate some help. I got stuck where you adjust the strength of the radial burn. I have a mac: opt+click+drag. It just doesn’t work for me. I press option and click and when I try to drag, it drags the whole filter. It doesn’t adjust the strength. How to fix this? If someone knows please let me know. I will try to find out in the meantime. Thanks
Could you tell name of program which you use
where i will send my editing to this photo …?
I don't know why masking is such a PITA only for me damn … ok can someone explain this without the jump arounds? After you mask one, what's the next step to get the other leaves to come in without double stepping with duplicates and such?
Thank you for this inspiring video. But I'm still don't get it how can you make a beautiful light behind that girl? 6:19
Wow, long time since i learnt something drastic but this time there where some "wow" moments. Thanks alot for taking your time to explain all the process behind the image.
Beautiful as always
Great video. Brilliant tip on cloning "in" the fly aways. Thanks
