Natural looking portraits on location: OnSet ep.

Join Daniel Norton OnSet as he creates a character-driven (self)portrait in his home. When photographing a portrait in a subject’s own space, using the environment and props that relate to them is a great approach. While an area may seem to have enough light, the camera does not perceive things as our eyes do, and using flash to light the space and make it conform to how we “see” it in our mind, allows for a controlled portrait that feels natural.

Thanks, Daniel, you gave me some excellent ideas for portrait shots of my beautiful wife 😍

I’ve spent the day catching up on your older videos, and this is one of my favorites! It’s actually sparked an idea for something I want to try now.

Oh wow, what a great lighting excercise Daniel Norton! Yes, with the down time we are forced to have due to the pandemic doing this type of projects help a lot as we have the time to play around. Therefor once we are up and running we will have all these ideas and experiences ready to go. Loved both portraits the one with you front and center as well as the one with you in the background with the white balanced adjusted! Thanks ADORAMA for having someone of the level of Daniel Norton on your channel!

Taking the setup step by step is useful. Nicely done. Only thing I would have done differently would be to rotate the table back towards the couch to minimize the white surface. I did note that in one of the shots the guitar head (?) partially blocks the table. My one surprise was how much depth of field you got at f4.

@zenphotojourney 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah I was wondering how he knew it would be sharp even though he was moving between shots. And what if you had more people in the shot?

@DanielNortonPhotographer 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, F4 worked out perfectly for me as far as DOF

@TheOlandex 4 жыл бұрын

Good job Daniel - that was a fun shoot. I enjoyed - as always - your work with light! On another note, what is it about photographers that makes them so much more likely to also have some involvement with music? I am also a guitar player and several other photographers I know also play an instrument. Coincidence?

Absolutely awesome. Guna practice this tomorrow. Controlling the window light by not having it look washed out. I've tried several times to do these kinda shots indoors. anyone know how he does these shots without creating shadows. These rooms are filled with so much stuff with lights goin different directions. So difficult.

@aramb 4 жыл бұрын

Very cool! I have one thing to suggest regarding posing - make sure your head is aligned with your spine. It looks like your head is tilted too far to your right, and it makes you look crooked. Having it in line with your spine I think might make for a stronger pose. My $0.02 ;-)

Great video. I have a question for you. I'm thinking of buying a b10 as i can't get the shadow gradient from my two canon 600ex flashes. My question is. do i need another flash to fill up a large 100cm softbox (i'm using this as a key) or a more powerful strobe like the b10. I can't try out a b10. A pain point for me is when i shoot the flashes have a slow refresh and sometimes go to sleep or don't fire. When would you use a strobe rather than a speedlight? Is it mostly for portability. Thanks.

You mentioned that you use TTL initially to set up your lights. What kind of metering do you use?

Really enjoyed the process since I also shoot environmental portraits. Daniel one question: the histogram is pretty dark, are you concerned about how this would work in print?

@DanielNortonPhotographer 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you, no I would say the dynamic range of the Z6 could pull back any detail the printing processes might need.

great idea ! I am going to try and create this at home. Same idea, guitars and amp in my hobby room. By the way, my son and I have built four guitars from kits, so much fun and educational and we learned skills like setting up the string height, fret leveling etc. This is where we purchase them www.solomusicgear . Thanks again.

Drawing the setup like Joe McNally in his "deconstructing" series. He always labeled himself as "Numb nuts." You need to come up with a handle beyond just "me." I won't dare offer a suggestion. Really enjoyed the video as always. Thanks.
