Three Point Lighting: OnSet ep. 210

[@aceentertainmnt9249]

Great video under 10 minutes. Encouraging & motivating & very informative.

[@enduraman1]

Putting the fill light on access with the camera is something new that I learned in this video. Thank you.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Awesome!

[@francisschweitzer8431]

He’s a good model too. Great video. I am learning lightning THANK YOU

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Francis Schweitzer awesome

[@neermakes]

The way this was edited and produced was very informative please do more like this where the pictures are on screen as the photographer takes them and always show step by step progress between adding each light source. It really helps to follow along with that style of presentation.

[@davidbailey4976]

Excellent job, as always, Daniel. The down side is that you make it look so easy - but then you know what works and what doesn't. Lots more like this please. David. MK, UK

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.

[@brianasealy6257]

I love your videos Daniel! You always make perfect since and explain things so well I really love how you work through setting everything up from the very beginning!

[@garys639]

Great to see experienced models at work,beep-pose-beep-pose and each one perfect for his looks, well done Justin...I want that jawline.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Gary S he’s pretty darn good for sure

[@tonytechquuo]

Excellent Daniel thanks for another great lesson.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thanks for watching

[@josephchan4198]

Awesome!! Good refresher course. This really good for clients who need headshots or do selfie for social media. Great work by Daniel and Adorama.

[@mattstolzman]

Daniel has taught me so much. Thank you ❤️

வீடியோ மிகவும் பயனுள்ளதாக இருந்தது மிக்க நன்றி இரா.மனோகர் சென்னை . Very useful This video sir, , big thank you sir R.MANOHAR ,Chennai.India

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Thanks, Daniel and Justin! Very clear examples, with good results of course. Take care.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thanks, Mike!

[@63nuke]

Subject has obviously been in front a camera before and knows what to do. No posing required. That makes it easy. As always well done.

[@WatchThatFirstStep]

Daniel, thank you for another great OnSet, and for using a male model in the demonstration. There are no rules with photography, though I have the sense you prefer to light women and men differently - and I believe that comes from client expectations. It was nice to see a lighting set up geared towards men today. Rather than the hair the kicker was used to further define the face and shape the jawline. More use of fall off from the key. I can already imagine how these photos would have a different editing endpoint (going full Hoey with clarity and contrast) than say pictures of Marisa or Erica. Btw, your skillful arranging and rearranging of light sources is inspiring.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Chuck L thanks. I do not edit my photos any more than you see them.

[@WatchThatFirstStep]

@@DanielNortonPhotographer I enjoy your edits and how you get everything right in camera to make the process easier. I meant creating images suited to your style yet can also take a little clarity to show texture. Like the Feb 2nd and 9th posts of The White House Band on your instagram where we can vary contrast with fill. When watching OnSet I take notes and apply your techniques in practice sessions, and it'd be cool to see more where you light subjects in "a manly way".

[@indrajitadvani3742]

Very simple but very elegantly done

[@Enrique-the-photographer]

Great classic look, thank you for sharing (and you did it without coffee LOL).

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

oh, there was coffee before and after believe me :)

[@guerradigital]

Excelente tutorial Daniel, siempre claro y objetivo.

[@KarmaRayshar]

Very knowledgeable, thanks. Awesome.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thank you very much!

[@pattymattes7124]

Another excellent tutorial. Thank you!!!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

you are welcome

[@stalkev]

Daniel I really appreciate the detail especially just letting go, and seeing what TTL will give you.. Sometimes it puts you in the ball park, sometimes it wins the game...

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Indeed!

[@keithdmyers]

You can't take a bad picture of that guy. #bluesteel

[@markyp2532]

Keith Myers jawline of the gods.

[@c7aus]

What a nice guy! Great Vlog again!!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

c7aus thanks

[@kenschallenbergphotography7139]

Great content Daniel!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thank you!!

[@paulhills1967]

Excellent, thanks Daniel

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thanks!

[@toddchat]

Outstanding tutorial! Many thanks! Looks like the tripod you’re using is a Manfrotto 055. What tripod head is that?

[@paulbernardi2597]

Great stuff as always Daniel. I agree with Emil a few more male models to mix it up. Thanks for sharing your skills.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Paul Bernardi cool

[@andrewgonzalez6208]

very helpful

[@marcelplavec6453]

great JOB DANIEL.....my favorite pic is without back light 4:44

[@marilyno38]

Damn his is FIIIINE!

[@jaredwolfe8438]

Thanks for showing how to actually do a good accent light. I see way to many bad edge lights with hot nostrils and lose shadow side. Great work

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Jared Wolfe thanks!

[@alibabaei5968]

Hello Daniel, I'm not sure what you are going to teach me. But tnx anyway. you are great. good luck.

[@aral2dmax]

Daniel , good morning .Hey thanks for using a Male model. Love the ladies, but we gotta have some guys also ... once again awesome instructional video. 👍

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thanks!

[@rockj8197]

Separation light is facing almost completely forward? Do you ever have any issues with lens flare or loss of contrast because of this? Great video. Thanks!

[@ValdiValdies]

We need this model to teach us how to pose, he knows the good stuff

[@ErixAudio719]

Daniel, love to see the same vid with round and alternative modifiers. Drums, lanterns... (you thought I was gonna say speedlights)

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Perhaps a "why I chose a light modifier" video would make more sense :)

[@ShaneBaker]

Useful! Thanks.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Shane Baker 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@cashino]

Thank you ~

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

You are very welcome.

[@jbello9398]

I'm new at this, so my question is can i use continuous lights as my hair light and background light? On budget photography here😂

[@Piracicaba100]

Nice tutorial! I'm your fan! Tell me, please: If I want to take a portrait, full body, this method works as well?

[@George51842180]

Very nice video...anyhow I would like to know the skills to tackle shooting someone with eye glasses. Reflection issue.

[@stephenreed7769]

Top tutorial again Daniel, thank you 👍 If we only had 2 lights and a reflector what would then be the best set up options for male and female? Thanks again!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

sounds like another video :P - with a reflector it would almost always be a fill

[@kieoneyoungphotos]

Hey Daniel, what is the recommended distance from the subject to the background also the distance from your key and fill lights from the subject?

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Far enough that the key doesn't hit the background... unless you want that of course.. As far as to the subject, if you want a soft light, as close as possible

[@ThePauliver]

Did the softboxes have any grids attached to them?

[@krbenoit]

Great video! Thanks for the very clear explanation of the positions and showing the differences. (I also love your use of Capture One, which I moved to last year from Lightroom and now it's actually painful when I have to open LR to get older photos from!) The use of TTL was really interesting, and different from other studio setup tutorials I've seen (where they are always metering and setting them manually). I find that with my Godox XPro trigger, it's very easy to start with TLL, and then use the TCM button to switch this to manual and then adjust. Is this similar to what you did with the Profoto triggers here? I would have welcomed some information about the relative strengths of the different lights, as TTL set them or as you adjusted them.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

krbenoit yes, TTL to get a base exposure, then switch to Manual

[@lawnbiker4213]

Tech question:-) Is that paper background the 83"/136cm?, it just seems wider? Superb pictures straight out of camera, I am really a fan of that too, and could not agree more with you on that.

[@fraensemeier-fotografie]

Hi Daniel, thanks for sharing knowledge!!! One question: your seamless paper seems to be put on just one single tripod with a boom. Is that stable enough? Seems like a more portable solution than having to set up a two-tripod-system! And do you find the quite small width of the paper suitable enough? It is 4,5 foot wide, right? I am looking for a portable option for a background. Maybe you also have experience with those pop-up folding backgrounds? They are damned cheap, but the reviews I find are so-so. Cheers, Peter

[@thats_mr_b_]

Daniele at 7:35 is that considered Rembrandt lighting on the left ?

[@simonhill7121]

Daniel, great lighting tips as always but I have a focus question. You started by taking time to get the focus on Justin's eye for your first shot. After that you took several other shots and Justin was moving about so his eye could never have been at the same focus point. Did you use manual focus and then rely on the fact that he never moved far off the focal plane?

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

I focus and recompose

[@ornino54]

Nice tutorial short but very concise, one question can you please let me know the brand name of the C-Stand color black thank you. Kudos for you.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

H V Matthews

[@rockj8197]

What effect does the larger, strip box separation light have vs the smaller, unmodified separation light? Hard to tell the difference in the video.

[@rbreznik]

How do you decide between softbox and octabox?

[@Yosser70]

Hey Daniel, great vid as always. No related to this one but got a quick question. That Magnum reflector you like, is there a Bowens equivalent? Been looking at the Bowens 50 Keylite and it looks like it's made to do the same thing, just wondered if you'd come across it at all?

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Dave Hughes nope. It’s pretty unique to Profoto

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Hit enter before I added, but if a brand has a “sports” reflector, that would be the closest.

[@dennismcraethephotographer1456]

do more with men

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

WIll do! Anything in particular?

[@WatchThatFirstStep]

@@DanielNortonPhotographer Can you demonstrate a full body portrait/editorial shot? When Justin first sat down with one foot on the chair rung, and later with both feet on the floor look like casual poses I see in photos of men. Wondering about the various styles you'd use to light that and three-quarters photographs.

[@nakleh]

What’s the song in the background, Daniel? Sounded like Tool for a second but I can’t really make it out.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

California Wind, by Brune E. - it's one of the free tracks KZbin gives us

[@soumoyadeepkundu3079]

Model jaw line looks like brad prit

[@luuk441]

eASY!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Indeed!

[@adrianchan3038]

youre also highlighting his eye bags. that's not good.

[@blackburd]

Lights are expensive.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Chris Eaton another expense that pays off when we work.

[@macbaar]

Male yes but please more normal looking people - short or tall or hadicap or like me with a big belly or with a kardashian body style whatever it is as "must have silicone body upgrade" for the next minutes... 😜🇨🇭

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

umm, ok
