Just found your profile and I’m very happy about all that photo series I can now discover. Great work! Thank you ❤

[@DonGiannatti]

Awesome. Welcome.

[@EdwardKilner]

Such an excellent video. I too am a fan of Albert Watson. From other videos, I learned he was trained as a graphic designer, and it really shows, maybe more than in the work of any other photographer. Love his work, thanks for the superb commentary. I will remember “plate of the face” and “light on camera axis” forever, my forever, of course.

[@DonGiannatti]

Thank you for the kind words. Watson is one of the best.

Don, very insightful as always. Will definitely pause and think about why/how I am lighting my subject. Thank you!

[@DonGiannatti]

Really glad you enjoyed it, Russ.

Just found you today... love this loads.. . . . going to check out the rest.. Amazing

[@andymcgarty3099]

Great Video Don. I like the way you break down the image to show how and why it was lit in a certain way. Lots of ideas to try when next shooting a model. Thank you.

[@DonGiannatti]

Thanks for the kind words, Andy. Glad you liked it.

[@MagicianDerrickRose]

Loved the shots and your review of them. It really does make you think about current conventional wisdom of what makes a portrait “good”.
