    Thanks Daniel, super job as usual and Erica has an amazing smile as usual... A question: You seem to cut the top of her head in every shot; is it your style of shooting or is it for the demo? Thanks again.

      @DanielNortonPhotographer  6 років тому +2

      If you show the entire head the model charges more 😝

    Yet another great video with a fun pro model. Off-topic question: You’ve said you’re Photoshop- challenged and don’t use it much if at all. But are there times when you’ve felt the need to use a retoucher? Just wondering.

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  6 років тому

      For advertising and larger jobs a retoucher is hired. I know enough to tweak my images, but generally don't "need" to.

    So how are you adding the hair light

  • @teleking58
    @teleking58 6 років тому

    Daniel, can you discuss lighting ratios and how you consistently achieve this look seemingly without regard for where lights are placed. Is this always a balancing act or do you have tried and true methods of placing light sources?

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  6 років тому +2

      Thanks! Generally I start with a 1:1 ratio and adjust based on the reflectance of the hair

    Nice video as always - a sketch diagram would have also helped to make it clear after showing it - looks like about 180 degrees line from main light to subject?

    Do you guys find it better to refocus each shot or to find a safe dof and turn AF off to get faster shots?

    What reflector or diffuser did you use for the hair light. ....?????

  • @manilamartin1001
    @manilamartin1001 6 років тому +1

    Another way to do hairlight is to bounce the strobe into a dimpled silver reflector. That is pretty much the standard for tv commercials the way I was taught back in the stone age. Sometimes I toss a little cto on it as well. Good explanation that the hair is reflective. Direct flash sometimes looks too obvious.

    2:06 - 2:12 - Tight horizontal is exciting, but the tried and true tight vertical rarely disappoints.

    What’s your POV on 7 foot umbrellas with diffuser?

  • @donaldbrocksmith9508
    @donaldbrocksmith9508 5 років тому

    Daniel (and Erika), I think it would be neat for your models to give a short presentation on what a photographer can do to make them feel more comfortable and confident in front of the lens with each "On Set" session. Not long, but, a short brief explanation of what they expect from a photographer in terms of directions, ideas, concepts etc. Thanks! **Explanations should be given with the idea of helping those non-professional models who are helping us photographers who are learning how to shoot plus direct a model.

    Erica is almost like a person that uses their hands while they talk. It's got to be difficult to keep your hands out of the shot. Nice work Daniel and Erica. Thanks for the video
