OMG. Her face when she stepped off behind the light stand. SO ADORABLE... 😍😍😍

[@kevinmichener1914]

Back lighting through the Translum, then being able to add contrast and detail with a fill. That would have never occurred to me. Thank you Daniel.

[@luistunonjr.304]

The best is seeing Marissa being Marissa !!!!

[@jackyleecs]

Thank you so much for showing us about Duvetyne and Translum. I have not known such things exist before. And Marisa is marvellous as always.

[@VALERYAN581]

you read my mind ,duvetyne ,savage translum ,optical projection snoot (gobos),fog(haze) machine, my best tools

[@vic_the_roman]

This was dope! Seems like great backdrop options for someone building a tiny studio. They are also multi use. Love it!

[@maniUSArmy]

Great stuff! And funny/engaging presenters to boot!

[@odiebo]

That translum looks very versatile and I could see lighting with colored gels make endless looks. But that clip at the end shows the power of photography, to record memories or to bring up old ones.

[@deenugent473]

Good stuff Daniel and Marissa is really funny and charming! You both make a great team.

[@markmackay2006]

Really liked the use of these materials. Would like to see you build the soft boxes. Thanks to you both.

[@fengwang3389]

Manfrotto has some great backdrops. Great texture and solid quality.

[@rosssayer6524]

Great info Daniel, love that high key effect. Would be good to see you make soft boxes, look forward to it.

[@michaelschmitt5413]

Enjoyed the video. Good info, and I may try the black Duvetyne. Thanks !!!

[@watersignphotography]

Great video as always. Super practical and informative

[@carlwarrenphoto]

Thank you for the Duvetyne info

[@Ratsters]

Excellent video, good information... you guys make a great team... full of humour on some what, serious subject! Cheers

[@dkeithcollins]

You and Marisa have such a good rapport!

[@magrau84]

Very nice. Super thanks!!!

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Thanks for the details, Daniel. That was fun, and both results look good. :)

[@leonardobaldenegrodiaz4503]

Marisa is the BEST!

[@jasongreenwood3260]

Thanks Dan...for an entertaining tutorial!!

[@250GTOAJ]

Marisa is beautiful in any light. I can not finding Duvetyne for sale here in Vancouver, just rental of it. The Transom looks interesting. Thanks Daniel and Marisa 😀👍🇨🇦

[@charleyl264]

Thanks Daniel and Marissa.

[@wobelong]

now the tough part, finding Translum in Australia!

[@hawg427]

At 13:19 when you had both images up at the same time would you separate them into Low Key & High Key shots? Or would the shot on the Left need to be lit in a darker? Good shots.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

High contrast would be low key, so yes I’d probably say that.

[@tomschram1804]

Daniel, great comparison, we’ll have to work together some time. You can teach me everything you know so I can advance my photography skills. It might take me a while to learn all you know so bring Ms. personality Marissa so we can make work fun. You both work well together, what a team, and that’s what makes your videos both educational and well worth watching. I have learned a lot about lighting from you. Both of you Keep up the great work, keep smiling, stay safe, and enjoy a great and wonderful day. See you in the next video.

[@cotswoldphotographers]

Really interesting and something new 👍 Marisa makes me laugh, she’s wonderful 🤩

[@EstebanAraque]

Marisa the most beauty.

[@MrBratius]

Great video as always, I always learn something.

[@tempest63132]

great video! more translume videos would be great too

[@mattstolzman]

Thank you!

[@kamilkubalik7762]

Great video, thank you both.

[@pattymattes7124]

Thanks!!! Yes, I would like to see you build a soft box with the Translum. I use paper or fabric. I tend to like the fabric as I can throw in the washing machine. By the way is Duvetyne washable or cleanable? I wish it was a little wider. My subjects have a hard time sitting still.

[@UsedProfessionalStrobes]

I use both, love both for all of the reasons you explain. I shoot for fun as a hobby and with old strobes. If you are more constrained for space, the back light for translum can be book lighting. Bounced into the translum.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

True!

[@steveimprovises]

I really enjoy these tutorials that suggest products that are versatile and fit into a small space. Do you find the auto poles to be easier in cramped spaces than background stands with tripod legs?

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

For sure - as long as you have solid ceilings

[@steveimprovises]

@Daniel Norton Photographer ahh theres the rub, this rental has carpet and a popcorn ceiling, maybe I can add a small block of wood to make it work. I may try it with some shower poles first before ordering the real thing. Thanks for the reply!

[@johnleighdesigns]

Great stuff and I tried again to seach in the UK for "Duvetyne" just cant seem to lay my hands on it - nothing on amazon - would be a good bet for my small space as not easy to get enough distance from backdrop to subject

[@markking9778]

I found it on Amazon but I'm in the US. Its about $180 for 25 yards

[@ekoranger6]

Think it might be known as Molton Fabric in UK. From Wikipedia - Duvetyne, or duvetyn, (also known as Molton and Rokel) is a twill fabric with a velvet-like nap on one side). There are a few UK suppliers for Molton fabric.

[@johnleighdesigns]

** UPDATED EDIT ** thanks guys for feedback! I discovered that most USA companies like Adorama will not ship to UK and those that do charge the same price as the product so doubling up on cost. I did find that Manfrotto UK can get hold of colorama translum at £100 plus delivery of £15 on top - The duvetyne is tricky I saw UK buyers comments about purchasing so called duvetyne, Molton or Stage Cloth with the same description of twill fabric and velvet like nap, but were disappointed to find the cloth nothing like that, thin, see through and poor quality - Im still on the search for something I can splash out on with confidence!

[@JohnMacLeanPhotography]

I'd love to see the Translum images with a bit less backlight exposure (maybe 1/2 stop less or so), and when the front light is used, a little more of that (maybe 1/3 to 1/2 stop more or so). For my taste it just looked a tad too flared out. As the saying goes, YMMV! But fine examples! Back in the 80s when I assisted car shooters in L.A. they had large amounts of Duvetyne that we'd drape over 2x4's with Matthews stands and run down the side of the vehicles. It created a sharp edge line reflecting in the car durning Sweet Light hour. Those folded piles of fabric were heavy, but oh so worth it.

[@ShaneBaker]

Thanks Daniel. I've never heard of this stuff. I loved the high key shots. BTW, 1 metre = 39.37" - 1 foot = 30cms. :-)

[@SwoleBeastTribe]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 - Swole Beast🤙🏽🙏🏽✌🏽 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 A D O R A M A ! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@JorgeLausell]

yes! more

[@cesarkastoun5752]

Great video from this pair, as usual. But, seriously, metric is soooo much easier.

[@alexanderpons9246]

Great video Daniel Norton and love how Marisa's features showed differently on each background and lighting! Got a question with the all white, if one places a thin flag or finger on a diagonal but parallel to the subject will that create a bit of contrast?

[@petemellows]

How Would using colour gels behind the translum affect the background?

[@josborne2186]

Great video, what weight of Translum were you using?

[@josborne2186]

Heavy weight, I should have paid more attention the first time :)

[@YitzYBerlin]

I liked the black background more than i would have thought. (And i noted Marisa was wearing bright colors.) But i wonder how you would light a fellow wearing a black suit with the black background?

[@JohnMacLeanPhotography]

Edge lights for separation.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

As John said, an edge light

[@peterguman7298]

thanks Daniel. Loos like there's no concern w/wrinkles in the Duvetyne?

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Nope!

[@charlesgirard268]

Duvetyne.. you say?! .. looking into that.. as always good vid..

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

There is a link in the description for easy reference

[@michaelclemens7436]

Any chance you can update the link to your duvetyne? The link appears to be broken. I got some pipe and drape last year to create something similar, but it turned out to be quite reflective , so it may just have been some cheap drape material (even though I had requested duvetyne)

[@svoivdosku]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@petermartin4298]

The two reasons I come to AdoramaTV,. Daniel and Marisa. Or is that One reason??????

[@charlesdavis6371]

good deal - pretty girl .. TY

[@dvongrad]

2 ft. is about 61 cm. :)

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thanks

[@eddychan4775]

Even darker than black paper roll ?

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Much much darker

[@imranamim4140]

✌️🤚🖐️

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

👋🏻

[@roybixby6135]

For me a gray background works better - overexpose for white without flare and underexpose for black. much less work...

[@barneylaurance1865]

2ft is 60cm

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thanks 🙏🏻

Poor Phil, always being negative.
