    Sometimes inspiration can just strike. Join Joe McNally and Daniel Norton as they make some beautiful portraits with large strip softboxes. Having just used the boxes to create some fun athletic images, Joe has the sudden flash of inspiration to make some simple portraits.

    I like Joe's dynamism in his shooting style. Keeping things fast paced and changing quickly keeps the shoot fun and creative.

    This is a Master of light in action and yet so modest!
    Loved the last set of photos.

    Wow, I feel embarrassed that I have only just discovered Joe via this video, been a huge fan of Daniel's for ages. Such a great video (and the others in the shoot). The communication from Joe towards the models is sublime.

    6:25 You will never learn this from the most populars TH-camrs. They only "review" equipment for sponsors and hotlinks. Joe is a real Master of Photography!

    Awesome video! You guys are extremely talented photographers and also teachers... but where is the picture of Joe and Daniel? I thought that would be the end credits the way you were talking.

    Nice video--love Joe's (and your) work. Question--earlier in the shoot you and Joe were concerned about losing hair in the black background, but when you switched to clamshell, you didn't add a separation light--curious whether you chose that because you felt that it was unnecessary in the clamshell set up because of the nature of the look, or perhaps you were just staying consistent with the 2 strip box theme and didn't want to add a 3rd light?

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd say it was a little of both. Sometimes when you start a session you have something in mind and as it progresses , you sometimes move in a slightly different direction.

    • @DanielGarcia-yz2ux
      @DanielGarcia-yz2ux 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      They both are blondes, so is not a big deal with black background. If they was brunette he probably need to add a third light for hair.

  • @MegaRay68

    What lens is Joe using? I figure it is some sort of fast wide angle lens. I like the colours it's putting out.

  • @FabianPourmand
    @FabianPourmand 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    These look like bigger then the 1x3 strips no? More like 1x6.. description might be wrong...

    Would the pictures still result the same if the subjects were about 2 or 3 feet from the background?

    what lens is Joe using at 9:12 ? Looks like a wide angle zoom but which one?

  • @noenken
    @noenken 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good content, Adorama. But the 4K doesn't help a lot with rolling shutter, shaky camera movement and dull colors. Maybe use a different camera next time.

      Relocs 2 Seems like Nikon 85mm 1.4 or new 105mm 1.4. Cheers

    • @JoeMcNally
      @JoeMcNally 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Been playing with the new 105mm f1.4...ridiculously good lens, lots of fun to shoot.

  • @LucasPitcher13
    @LucasPitcher13 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great info as ever - particularly interesting to see the difference in reflectivity for apparently similar skin tones.
    Thanks!

  • @MrAtomicPhotography
    @MrAtomicPhotography 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Am guessing he's working TTL, and that's why the exposition changed when the models switched places..?

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Actually no, Joe is shooting manual flash and the light output did not change, some people are just more reflective than others. It's a pretty cool phenomenon

    Irrelevant to photography, but Norton my GF said you'd look real good with a Brixton hat

  • @MikeJamesMedia
    @MikeJamesMedia 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Brilliant read, and correction on the skin reflectivity. When I first saw what you saw, I (wrongly) thought, "Oh, it's a little underexposed." Moving the subjects was a great choice, and also later rotating them to a slightly different angle worked really well. That's why I watch what you do! Thanks. :)

  • @artistlight
    @artistlight 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The portraits 3/4 in were much better than the earlier shots. The earlier shots were dark and gritty. The later flat lighting was complimentary as well as the contoured lighting on the man.

  • @joshuagutierrez8407
    @joshuagutierrez8407 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Movable clam-shell lighting....lol. Love it! I never thought to do that when I did studio work. Great job both Joe and Daniel! I've just added that nugget to my arsenal.
