Daniel, you always look good. Thank you for another great tutorial on lighting the environment! I missed your live on Thursday. For some reason I didn't get a notification but will view the video soon. Thanks again.
I was enjoying this, liking the results you were getting, and then you sat at the back and switched to tungsten. I LOVE that shot! Excellent content as always, Daniel - thank you!
Great stuff, really like the look of the room, and the way you've set things up, it has a warm cozy feel as well as a creative vibe. Very informative video 👍👍
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.
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!
Very good tutorial but i wonder how you put the sharp points when you are the model I do not have capture one so i do not know if you use this to make sure that you are sharp on the eyes I am using nikon d810
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
You are the best!....Thanks for sharing your skills with your viewers!
Those lights on guitars absolutely classy ❤️ always something new ❤️
Thank You!
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.
Thanks, Daniel, you gave me some excellent ideas for portrait shots of my beautiful wife 😍
Daniel, you always look good. Thank you for another great tutorial on lighting the environment! I missed your live on Thursday. For some reason I didn't get a notification but will view the video soon. Thanks again.
Thanks Patty! hoping to go live again this month
Great lesson! That reflection in the mirror and exploring the details in there reminded me of the scene from The Blade Runner movie
True inspiration! Thank You Daniel!
Thanks!
Great vid, Daniel. I thought I watched all your videoes but somehow I missed this one. Love location shoots.
Thanks for sharing this Daniel, great video as usual. Nice to see how you build up the lights to highlight the parts of the scene.
I was enjoying this, liking the results you were getting, and then you sat at the back and switched to tungsten. I LOVE that shot! Excellent content as always, Daniel - thank you!
Me too!
Cool, thanks!
That's really awesome man. Love the atmosphere and how you went day-to-night. This is definitely what I want to work on improving next.
Cool! Let me know how it works out!
Love this type of video. A great way to learn. Thank you Daniel.
Good stuff! My homework for this holiday will be to take this kind of environmental portraits when I visit family 👍
I enjoyed this. Great use of multiple lights. Enjoyed your explanation of what you wanted to achieve. Great results.
Great stuff, really like the look of the room, and the way you've set things up, it has a warm cozy feel as well as a creative vibe. Very informative video 👍👍
Thanks!
Nice stuff Daniel, thanks. Like the way you explain things, no rush, taking us through the steps of getting all the elements of the pic right.
Thanks for watching
Great video Daniel. The methodical approach to lighting a scene like this is very helpful.
Love to hear how you worked out the lighting. And your lighting sketch looks like a McNally sketch! 😉
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.
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?
Yeah, F4 worked out perfectly for me as far as DOF
Adding that blue shot was a great touch! Thanks for making this! I've learned a lot from your videos.
Thanks again, Daniel.
Thank you!
Fantastic tutorial. Something I can play around with at home and learn from. Thank you
Thanks Daniel!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video!
Excellent, cool demonstration. Many thanks.

Very cool.. looks very natural
Great job Daniel
This is very good. Informational and insightful about the entire process to achieve the goal. Thanks.
Very good tutorial but i wonder how you put the sharp points when you are the model
I do not have capture one so i do not know if you use this to make sure that you are sharp on the eyes
I am using nikon d810
Always inspiring, down to Earth and helpful!
Thanks!
Very useful information. I like the wall mirror and the black guitar is that a Fender Kingman? Thanks Daniel!
Thanks, it's a Fender Catalina
@@DanielNortonPhotographer Nice !
Great video! Do you happen to have one that explains how to use natural light with a key and kicker light all at the same time, but well-balanced?
Great video! Thank you, Daniel!
Thanks for watching!
fantastic vid mate, always enjoy your tutorials,

Your thumbnail and I’m like yes. I need to get my photos more legit like this. Thank you

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?
Thank you, no I would say the dynamic range of the Z6 could pull back any detail the printing processes might need.
Cool video, I think I'll try this out. Side note: I used to have a Crate amp! I think it was the second I ever had, after a Dean Markley.
Nice!
Damn. So cinematic
Nice set up
Fun shoot!
Thanks!

very cool
You should have mixed it up with the chords, not just G. Should add in some D too, so it would match your intro music chords /music nerd end :)
niiiiice! 👌🏼 excellent break down
