Hey, this is Daniel Norton. I'm here in my
studio in New York City, and I'm going to
make some fun portraits today!
I'm actually going to do something with
backlighting. This is a kind of a
technique that I usually use outside, but
I decided to build it in here, to kind of
show you guys how it works out, and it
involves kind of controlling light and
bouncing it. So for my 'Sun' in this case
I'm going to actually use a Profoto B1X,
which I have up here on my stand. I've
got this very old V flat, kind of as a
background. So I want to make this kind
of dramatic, with all black around and
you'll see I have some black cards here
too. So let me show you, we have Erika
here, and she's going to basically stand
here. Come a little more forward, she's
going to stand here between these two black
cards. That's going to give us some contrast,
right? Black cards on either side works
as negative field, it's going to help shape
her face. Make it a little more dramatic,
because of the positioning of my Profoto
in the back, I'm definitely going to have a
lens flare. So we're playing along with
that idea right? I mean I could try to
fight it, but I actually like the lens
flare. We're going to make this very dramatic, and
we'll play with that, and obviously if I
just shot it like this, that wouldn't do
me much good, because I don't have any
light coming back at her. Right, so I need
to bounce it in, and one of the simplest
ways to do that, is to just use a nice
white card, and you can see that I've
already put a couple clamps on here to
hold it in place. I'll bounce that in,
this will now bounce the light in, let's
see if I can turn the modelling light on.
There we go, you can't really see it
though, but we've got the modeling light
on, actuallyI I'll do this.
So I can see where it's going to aim, bouncing
off this card, giving her a nice light on her face.
Right so, let's see what that looks like,
so I'm going to turn the modelling light off
now, just to save battery. Now I've got my
camera set at 250th of a second, at f/4.5
at 100 ISO, and what that means is, none
of the light, the available light, like in
the space, because we're in a daylight
studio, is affecting my shot, and we can
see we have this nice lens flare going
on. It's a it's a tiny bit underexposed,
we'll play around with it a little bit,
but before I do that, I want to add a
second reflector card, because you know
lights coming past her, I'm kind of
wasting it, right? So if I have another card,
I'll put it in right here, so I'm
essentially.. shooting through this is my
shooting space here right? Also have
you ever like worked like as a bank teller?
Right, this would be like how she would
be set up. Okay, so now we've got, so you
see, we can see that, how it's nice and
clean, now let's look at the comparison
right? You see the difference? Right? Now
what we want to do here now, is to get our
exposure a little better. So I'm just
going to, I'm using the Profoto
controller, I'm in manual, that's my A
head, as it would be. So I'm going to go to A,
and I'm going to raise my energy, but I
think 2/10 of a stop, that's going to
give it a shot, you see what that looks
like? Yeah, that looks pretty good. Now
that's really, really, simple. Right? And
we've got the lens flare, which is going
to you know, obviously give us some
softness here, which kind of adds a cool
effect. We actually see the reflector
bouncing back, if you wanted to like put
some advertisements on the other side of
the reflector, they would shine back in
her face, could make a little extra money there,
you never know, why not? Subliminal
messaging... Alright. So let me shoot that.
Good, and I can actually move my camera
over and get some of the light in the
shot, and make it really flare out. If I
want, or I can, that's nice or I can be
really careful, and try not to get into
too much at all. Good, and of course I'm
using the low power setting here, so I
can just crank right through, see as many
shots as possible, you know, and I've got
her like framed over here, we've got some
cool lens flare going on, and again we're
just playing around.
Super, super simple concept. You could use
silver cards here, if you wanted more
specularity ,and you could even use two
back lights, if you really want to be
crazy. Easy as.. ohhh.... that's kind of a cool
flare! Let's try to get, I'm going to try to
get a little more lens flare, just
because I'm crazy like that, and by the
way, you might notice that that V flat in
the back is really beat up, but it's
super out of focus, and no lights really
hitting it, so it doesn't really matter.
that it's a so janky. Actually it's kind of
nice too on that side. Let's go,
good, good, good, good, good, good, nice one.
More, that's it, bye, that was good,
that's nice, that'll be perfect for your
you know LinkedIn profile! Done,
That's what a LinkedIn profile should look
like! Okay, So again, camera set, I didn't
do it at the beginning to show you guys but
I'll do it now. If I turn off my flashes
and I take a photo, we will get a black
frame. None of the light and space is
affecting my shot here. Right, so this is
just set up a, to use the flash here, one
Profoto light in the back. I use TTL
originally to set up the shot, but now
I'm using it in manual. Really, really
simple, bouncing light. You could do this
outside really easy, and again these are
just foam core cards that I bought at
you know... the store. You can follow Erica
on the different social media, I will put
it in the link below. Follow me on
