Daniel – all good stuff 🙂
I am working my through your back catalogue now – unfortunately I only discovered you and Seth recently on the Z7 reviews.
Always enjoyed watching Daniel explaining the various photography techniques. Good job.
Hi Daniel, I believe the same style can be replicated even with a speedlight and a diffusion umbrella, as main light right?
Great video was a continuous light set up.with out flash ?
how far or how many feet the person is from camera?
Thank you for showing the how-to. I was looking for the diagram to give me an idea on how to improve it. My instructor recommended Adorama.
For generations, there were only tungsten lights. Even when studio flash first appeared, it was generally out of the enthusiast's price range. Nowadays, every discussion of portraiture begins with a statement that tungsten lighting is obsolete except for video, so it's encouraging to see someone using "hot lighting" for a portrait.
Nice. Good stuff. I must strive to attain this level of badassery.
Nicely explained clear and informative.
thank you
nice
Your videos are so well done, Daniel. You are clear and concise and obviously very gifted with what you do. Please keep up the good work. Thank you!
cool video, always in awe with Daniel 🙂
A nice little video on my favourite style of Portraiture. Hollywood glamour 20' to 40's style. Add a cocktail, pearl necklaces or cigarette holder with smoking cigarettes as props and your onto a winner in my book….. Thank you.
adorama is AWESOME..I recommend them and B&H always!
Really nice and clear tuto.
nice review about camera 🙂
Too bad the end result is not in B/W. 😉
nice clear and to the point
Didn't mean to pick it apart 🙁 When I shot as a Pro I was a member of the PPA & the Florida FPPA and had many prints entered in shows for merit, which I saw how they picked a print apart. LOL I ended up with 6 Merits total and had a few prints go in the National Tour. We didn't have computers in those days. LOL Don't take it personal, just my opinion. LOL Great video though 🙂
Welldone!
For 30´s portrait look it´s ok to have shadows. The portraits in that decade were made this way. Daniel Norton explained before starting.
I feel kind of ashamed when I read comments about shadows and so on. Why people today just want "shadowless" portraits? Personally i find very nice to learn different styles o lightning setup and their result on the photo look/style.
So thanks a lot Daniel.
I should say also that I bought a lot of equipment in Adorama just because of the Adorama TV! 🙂
Hugs from Brazil!
I am sorry if i am wrong, But shadow of the nose in final image is good or bad?
excellent!!!
Thank you!!!!!
😀
Informative, will try this technique on my next shoot. Thanks.
Everything but the horrible hard shadow on her Right eye lashes or her hair, I can't tell. Should have been corrected using the lights before post production. Sorry but I'm an old timer and you had to do it right when shooting because retouching the pic or the negative was an added expense. I would have had my camera about 1-2 in. higher also. Beautiful model. 🙂
