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

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!

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.

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

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

Daniel has taught me so much. Thank you ❤️

Excelente tutorial Daniel, siempre claro y objetivo.

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

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

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.

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

Excellent Daniel thanks for another great lesson.

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.

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

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.

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

Very knowledgeable, thanks. Awesome.

Another excellent tutorial. Thank you!!!

Very simple but very elegantly done

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...

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

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

What a nice guy! Great Vlog again!!

Excellent, thanks Daniel

Great content Daniel!

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

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

Thank you ~

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. 👍

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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!

very helpful

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

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

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.

Damn his is FIIIINE!

Useful! Thanks.

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

How do you decide between softbox and octabox?

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

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?

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.

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?

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😂

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?

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

Did the softboxes have any grids attached to them?

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

do more with men

eASY!

Model jaw line looks like brad prit

Lights are expensive.

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

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... 😜🇨🇭
