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

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.

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

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

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

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!

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.

[nuke]

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.

[MikeJamesMedia]

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

Excellent Daniel thanks for another great lesson.

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

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.

Daniel has taught me so much. Thank you ❤️

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...

Excelente tutorial Daniel, siempre claro y objetivo.

[toddchat]

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

[Enrique-the-photographer]

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

[rockj]

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!

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