This is the minimalist challenge - you're going to grab your lens & camera and make your way around your neighborhood and take some photos. Pye often does this exercise in his photography workshops to challenge his students to use minimal gear to get the shot and focus on the artistry rather than the gear.

Welcome to “Master Your Craft,” a photography educational series by SLR Lounge, exclusively on Adorama TV. From gear advice to in-depth instruction, our goal is to give you practical, real-world advice to help you master the craft of photography. Whether you’re a beginner just learning your camera, an amateur looking to become a pro, or professional seeking inspiration, this is the series you’ve been looking for to help you become a better photographer.

Good stuff Pye. You can see what distinguishes photographers from youtubers. 35mm, composition, light, great posing versus 85mm 1.2, blur the background and you're done.

@CharlieLiuPhotography 5 years ago

Chloe seems way experienced and knew what was up even before Pye finished explaining it to the viewers, wow.

@asqures5541 4 years ago

This must be one of the most educational photography videos I've seen on this site, great job!

Those shots at the bush made my day. And the model... she is gorgeous !

@kavanlake871 5 years ago

I usually end up shooting from light into dusk, so I bring my flash with me. But my general rule is to use natural light until you can’t, then break out the flash.

The model looks fabulous! Hope to see her again on this channel.

I have to say, even though I'm not the greatest fan of your finished picture look (colour / exposure preset wise), so yes I am watching it with a critical eye and applying my own preferences, but ... your photographic handcraft is so amazing! I can only hope to be up enough to integrate all this knowledge and improvisational skill into my own photography! Kudos!

Very nice and great presentation Pye! The great thing about Photography aside from Lighting is playing with angles, you did very good at showing how can one make what is available to work its best. Thanks ADORAMA for having videos like this on your channel to helps us with all the great Gear you have available at your wonderful store!

@MikeFilancPhotography 5 years ago

Great lens choices! I personally love a 35mm for environmental portraits!

@tdyson90 5 years ago

What!!! That trick with the phone was soo good!! Love that tip.

When I was taking photography classes back in the early 90's all of the students including myself used a 35mm film camera and one lens. That one lens was a 50mm lens. I used a Nikon FM2n and a 50 f/1.8 and learned photography that way. It's 2021 and I'm using a Canon 5Ds and a 35 f/2.0 IS USM, I've discovered after owning many lenses that the 35 is all I need, it does everything I need to do plus it has IS which is awesome!
