Such an excellent video. I too am a fan of Albert Watson. From other videos, I learned he was trained as a graphic designer, and it really shows, maybe more than in the work of any other photographer. Love his work, thanks for the superb commentary. I will remember “plate of the face” and “light on camera axis” forever, my forever, of course.

Thank you for the kind words. Watson is one of the best.

Great Video Don. I like the way you break down the image to show how and why it was lit in a certain way. Lots of ideas to try when next shooting a model. Thank you.

[@DonGiannatti]

Thanks for the kind words, Andy. Glad you liked it.

[@rbrow107]

Don, very insightful as always. Will definitely pause and think about why/how I am lighting my subject. Thank you!

[@DonGiannatti]

Really glad you enjoyed it, Russ.

[@DonGiannatti]

Awesome. Welcome.

[@MagicianDerrickRose]

Loved the shots and your review of them. It really does make you think about current conventional wisdom of what makes a portrait “good”.
