It’s really cool to see Marisa learning how to be on the other side of the camera. You can tell she has learned a lot from just observing over the years.

Thank you Daniel for hands-on videos like this. I am planning of getting more into portrait and flash photography myself and to watch Marisa following your instructions made it quite entertaining and light.

I want to thank you for this video. I finally invested in a strobe, and I'm learning how to adjust using a light meter. This video helped me reinforce what I already knew, and gave me confidence for my first commercial shoot this week.

Looks good. I guess you had the Profoto modeling light on the whole time, because at 17:30 I can see the catchlight. I usually use the HEAD button on the remote, instead of turning it off, because the B1 modeling lamp is still on otherwise.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Yup!

I love how Marisa can't turn off her model mode even when she is the photographer 😊 Be careful with Daniel soon the student will know more than the master 😄

"It's like Rembrandt lighting." Seth just had a seizure somewhere. Daniel, I appreciate you let Marissa do hands on and make mistakes to learn from. Also that you don't get off on tangents. (I have to keep myself from doing that at times. LOL). And the always beautiful, personable, witty, and very intelligent Marissa. Good fortune for both of you to have such a long running and well matched collaboration. The whole combo makes for great and informative videos. Well done as always guys.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thank You!

[@andyvan5692]

great show, and good on ya marisa, good confidence in front of the camera. also Daniel the reason the "fixed" light froze your other hand was that 1/60th is the freq. of the A/C power of the light, close enough to the 1/100th of the camera, so they captured and shot a photon of light in reasonably sinchronised fassion, so the light froze the picture, by shooting that "beam" of light, and any after that, was stopped by the closing shutter slit! ( marisa this is when both curtains of the shutter chase each other to the other side of the camera, at 180th of a second or so (can be 1/60, 1/30 depending on shutter design) a gap forms between the blade edges, thus a slit is formed of varying size dependent on speed selected, 1/8000 would be a slit ~ a hairs width big, in ball park terms; at 1 second, the shutter opens fully, and the other blade follows after the alloted time, so NO slit, and just like a leaf shutter, NO banding as all of the frame is exposed to light simultaneously).

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

[@EdwardKilner]

Nice to see Marissa learning so quickly, and having fun. I was hoping she would have Katt turn her shoulders a bit, but everyone’s happy! Good series.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

I’m trying to let her do her thing with posing for now, but we will eventually talk about that type of stuff

[@Impostertot]

Loved it! Daniel you are a great instructor. By being out from behind the camera and directing the shots, I think you add more instruction. Marisa is now proving to be a good student behind the camera as well. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks.

Does ISO work the same as lights? The higher the ISO the more you can charge? Hahaha. Great video showing Marisa the ropes, yet again Dan!

That does seem accurate

[@bardoteachings]

Hi Daniel and Marisa! Love your beginner series! Have you already discussed somewhere how to properly expose for challenging colors in the shot! I have a lot of troubles with bright reds. Thank you!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Bright reds as in they are not coming out as saturated as they should or they are coming out too saturated?

[@bardoteachings]

@@DanielNortonPhotographer they look like they've been processed in a weird way. Like when you lose detsols and information in overexposed whites but only for reds in my case. I have Canon EOS 1D Mark II. I heard that Canon tends to make reds warmer...

[@bruce-le-smith]

thank you for this, as a noob I find my exposures are a bit bright with ttl and the colour balance seems off, so here i am trying to figure out how to use flash while still getting a somewhat natural look. Marisa's got great energy, thanks for making the tutorial fun! p.s. Marisa's direction is so much fun too, you can't help but smile, also helps show what a skill it is to provide varied direction! i'd love to see @SeanTucker help mentor Marisa on how to give directions in different ways, that would be fascinating

[@mattorrz759]

Hi Daniel. I am just starting out with speedlights and I am using the cheap yongnuo 560iii to get started. I noticed the Profoto A1 has a round lens and mine are the old rectangular lens. I gather the the round lens is much better at evenly spreading the light? I’m sure I can still get a good result from the yongnuo just to get started. Cheers mate and love your tutorials 😁👍

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Yes, the round lens will make the light more evenly spread - Of course if you are put in the light into a soft box or some thing that becomes less and less of an issue

[@mardigras5223]

Hi Daniel, great to see your vids . I'm fairly new to mirrorless cameras and new to flash. I wonder if you could make a video on flash exposure and flash power control from the air remote. I mean some vids say adjust the flash power through the cameras menu ( flash compensation ) yet in this video you're push the power on the air remote. I guess for a one light set up ( mine Profoto B10 plus and your recommended 3ft octa, cheers! ) , i guess i could use the flash comp because I'm not in groups, I don't know what to adjust or when to in what scenario. I'd appreciate a little help with a video ( with Marissa maybe;!) or a five min friday maybe. cheers- UK Dave

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

With the air remote typically you’re going to want to adjust in the camera if you only have one light and on the remote if you have more than one. That being said some cameras work well just always using the remote so you could do a quick test to see if that is the case with you. Certainly when you switch to manual you’ll make the adjustments on top of the remote

[@aaronbpinto]

Thank you guys for putting out these superb informative videos.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thanks for watching

[@RobertMagnussen]

Danile thanks for your Great videos. I have one question, do your assistent use eye fokus on the Nikon?

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

In this case, no

[@photonsonpixels]

Daniel, at some point you were adjusting the exposure by lowering the shutter speed. I always thought that the shutter speed was not the best way to adjust the exposure of a flash portrait; unless you were trying to adjust for the ambient light. Can you comment on this? Thank you!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Right, at that point we were adjusting the shutter to let in more of the constant light source. I was showing her how we could mix the lights together

[@photonsonpixels]

@@DanielNortonPhotographer Thanks, Daniel. Makes sense.

[@bp-blackshark]

Oh, Marisa have got an advanced model (not the white plastic one), which is able to moving. I guess next time, you will drive her crazy with a dancing group, lol!

[@chocloditelensman]

Why aren’t you just locking your shutter at 125th or 250th and adjusting the power up on your fill light to make lighter instead of dropping shutter ? You have more control that way - but it appears you want to balance your flash wirh your existing light in the room. That seems more complicated to me. I like turning off all lights and adding light.
