Join Daniel Norton OnSet in his Manhattan studio as he explains why where you stand is as important as the lens you use in portrait photography. Not only does distance to subject affect your depth of field, it also is the key to compression which will help shape your subject’s face.

Marisa is a good Model for photoshoot tutorials.. She is so damn interactive compared to those others.. I like her very much.. Thumbs up for Marisa!
I like that your model is participating (not just posing) and seems interested. Some tutorials are painful to watch when the models act like robots, or seems bored or clueless. They almost look like part of the photographer equipment. In your video, Marisa looks like a fun human being, not a tutorial ''prop'', and it adds a je-ne-sais-quoi to your photos and your tutorial. Good job.
My thoughts exactly. An engaged model with personality.
FYI, IG @marisa.roper
OMG, so true!
Siskel and Ebert give TWO thumbs up!
This is what happens when both the photographer and the model knows what they’re doing. Excellent work!
Best model from Adorama videos til now! :-D
More Marisa, please ! Besides her gorgeous looks you gotta love her personality !
Thank you, Daniel, for the very clear examples, and thank you, Marisa, for being an outstanding model! Always fun to see you two shooting together.
Loved this lighting. Marissa is the best btw.
Looking at your own face in a mirror as you move the mirror towards and away from your face is quite a good way to see the effect. You can use a hand-mirror, since wherever you hold it it only needs to be half the length of your face to fit your whole face, and the distance to the mirror image is of course double the distance to the mirror.
Simple, clear and awesome. And having a model with real personality always helps.
Great information and wonderful use of the examples. Very helpful. Thank you.
Daniel and Marissa- you two are the BEST! I watch every one of your you tubes and learn something every time, for that I thank both of you.
🎉
Another great video from Daniel, as per usual. Always enjoy it when he and Marisa work together. She has 10,000 times more personality than most other models you see in videos of this sort. Chemistry always makes for better content. Thank you!
Very good information. I learned something new today. My daughter is my practice model, and she is rather heavy (but working on it lol). So standing back with a longer lens will slim her face down a bit. I don't own any high MP cameras, so I will do the cropping in camera. Photography is all about learning to work with what you have and getting the most out of it.
The dream Duo. Love you both always. Great chemistry.
Yay for Marisa! What a great personality and model.
Thank you for pointing out that it doesn't matter so much what lens you are using, it matters HOW CLOSE TO THE SUBJECT YOU ARE. It's the same with depth of field - the closer your focus distance the shallower the depth of field will be - no matter what the lens - and even f/22 is not going to make a huge difference when your focus point is 2 feet away - f/22 might get you three inches DOF where f/1.2 will be less than an inch DOF (obviously I'm guesstimating on the DOF numbers).
Nice comparison!
Great work!! Reminds me of past work.
Thanks for the primer on portrait shooting....Oh, and the camera obviously loves Marisa.
"This is a nice shot of Marisa here"---um, every shot is a nice shot of Marisa. Thank you Daniel, and Marisa, for this awesome (free) info!!
Had to see it to believe 3-4' more distance on the same lens would make a difference. I would not have even noticed it looking at side-by-side images if you hadn't specifically pointed out the nose and chin differences. So, you not only proved your point, you have made by eyes better in analyzing portrait images. Better eyes AND more knowledge! 😁 Thanks for the two-fer! ⭐ x 5
Thank you so much Daniel and Adorama for the very informative tutorial and helpful tips! God bless you all!
Thank you. You’re great at this. She’s a good model too.
Great examples of compression and compare/contrast. Appreciate the work. Great model, two thumbs up for real humans in front of the camera! Thanks for making it fun and interesting.
Great tutorial. It’s nice to see a model that knows how to smile too. Keep up the good work Daniel.
The model is absolutely fantastic. My word I'd love to work with a model even half as engaged, animated and interested!
There was a lovely line that stood out to me which was the "let's take a few more shots because you're paid by the frame". I don't know if this was tongue-in-cheek or not, but I thought it was awesome to see such an awesome model respected by the photographer in such a way.
A lot of respect for both the model and the photographer here. Great video.
I couldn't find link to the reflector in the description :) Please update
Plain and simple explanation. great job
Great Daniel and I like this girl..always smiling and very pretty.
Great video and Marisa looks like a dream to work with. Keep them coming Daniel.
Such an animated model! Great tut Daniel and Marisa.
Excellent lesson, and fab model!
My goodness! Some people are just plain beautiful
Very helpful. Shooting close up as a choice. I have a new perspective on the distortion as a useful element in the shot now. Also, the model was fabulous. Her participation adds to the overall feel of your presentation. Thanks.
Thanks for getting straight into the topic👍
Always great. Thx,
Always a great video Daniel!
Super helpful. Thank you, Daniel.
Great demonstration Daniel! 👍
Very well explained.
Great video just waht I needed, straight to the point and Marisa is such a charter.
lovely look
Daniel, if you have enough cameras, you could set them on tripod at different distances, then take photos simultaneously and show the same face in different distances.
Great 📹 very informative, thanks, Bob
Excellent!!!! Thank you very much!!!!! :D
Many thanks for the video
I like having the model hold the reflector board to create fill under the chin. Standing several feet away produces the most ideal looking face using a long lens such as 100 mm.
Thanks for the quick tips
I also consider getting the background closer or farther relative to the subject when choosing the lens perspective.
Marisa is so supportive.
awesome content
thank you
Thanks, very helpful info.
Wow. Why didn't somebody tell me this 3 years ago! Thank you!
Gracias!
Nice demonstration. Thanks
Very helpful Daniel 👏👏
I love your passion, energy, and your Studio. Nice setup bro😎❤️🇺🇸
Thanks!
daniel never waste time, straight to taking pictures.
Great demo Daniel. Most don't understand the differences. I, like you, prefer to be up closer, usually using my 50 mm. I can never avoid watching one of your videos if Marissa is your model. Thanks to both of you.
Marisa Hype! :D
thank you again Daniel, always on point, reeeeally important topic IMO - already shared this video to my friends ;)
Thanks!
Is that possible to do the same cropping while shooting tethered in LR?
Thank you for sharing.
Got it! Vary the distance and work with special models.
Great video!
very useful! thx!
This was an interesting and somewhat informative presentation on the effects of distance and compression when using a longer lens, your extemporaneous comments about getting paid by the frame and saving megapixels notwithstanding.
Your explanation on the flash setup was good but I found myself wondering where and from what direction the light being reflected with the hand held reflector was coming from. That use of the reflector was dramatic and nice.
For an aspiring portrait photographer such as myself, I would have also enjoyed a brief rundown on how you were tethered to the computer. I want to maybe dive in to shooting tethered but still have some unanswered questions. #1 question I currently have here in January 2023 is whether it may be possible to tether via wifi or bluetooth instead of dragging around cabling.
And lastly, if you could slow down your talking just a bit it may be better. I plan on watching more of your videos.
Happy New Year...
Very helpful!
Beautiful as always, Marissa looks good too 😉 lol
Great explanation
Just in sp.classroom thanks😍👌
Hi,thanks for nice video,however what was the camera and paraflash settings?
Thank you!
Awesome tutorial! May I ask what program you tether with?
Perfect! I have always wondered how much compression there really is between close shots and longer shots. Logically I know the DOF would be different, but putting them side by side really displays it. Thank you!
"Your Ad Here" LOL ... Thanks
Save the Megapixels! :))
Great video
very interesting. A long lenses also help you get "close ups" without getting to close to the model.
Do models comment on this Daniel?
What is that app u have on computer?
Yep it's the distance, not the FL that creates the effect - took me a while to my head around that.
Valuable knowledge.... thank u sir....
you're welcome!
Excellent video!! Was wondering on the beauty dish - any grid?
Your vids rock.
What is this program your using here
What program are you using to tether?
Thanks for sharing the view point about "distance to the subject". You connected people feels from the distance to the subject.
I am curious at the software on the screen. What is that software used to connect with your camera for real-time work?
Very useful video , I learned lot from it, looking forward more videos like this keep it up good work, R.manohar , india,
which mm lense you use for closeup shot?
thanks
What is the editing tool you are using?
Daniel, as always a top tutorial, well explained and demonstrated! Thanks! One other comment, your model was brilliant and fun. Do, please, bring her back for more! 👍

Mega Pixel Awareness Month
Love it. . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .or could it be that I simply love Marisa? Well guess I just found myself another grandaughter !
Nice length vid
Hugs from Oslo Daniel. You Are an awesome teacher. What its the diferencia between a profoto deep umbrella XL & a elincrom rotalux deep para 100? ( head shot corporate ). Best Regards. Master.
Hey man, the guys over at Elinchrom made an amazing video with Felix Kunze about using one light setups. At some point, Felix explains the difference between direct and indirect lighting. Here's the link to the video czcams.com/video/WKpj-QyUKOk/video.html
I hope it helps you
Software for editing?
What's in the tool box?
That girl is just too perfect.
I could easily understand why you want to be close to her. Now seriously, I prefer the shots from further away. She Seems to have a sunny Charakter and improves the video with her participation very much.
What software was being used in this video!?

Модель супер!!
