I wish this video was an hour long! It's so gratifying to see all of you together, looking great, and having fun. This session oozes with love. Thanks, Daniel, Vanessa, Kadence, Marisa, Dave, Sharinna,, and Erica. Sooooooo nice! (and of course, really nice, technically, too!)

Thanks Mike!

Congratulations, Daniel! You've given 200 episodes of excellent instruction helping photographers to grow. We cannot thank you enough.
I appreciate that you remained true to form in the group photo: Daniel gets in front of the camera; puts Dave in the background. :)

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

[@colmorley]

Thanks for a continual flow of interesting (and fun) videos. As a sports photographer looking to do more portrait work, each video is full of things to learn from. Continued success to you and your posse!!!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thanks for watching!

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Thanks, Daniel, Sharinna, and Seth. Nice to see Sharinna in front of your camera again. (Loved that "Presidential" shoot you did with her a while back.)

[@aaronoverstreet1436]

Yay!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

💥

[@stephenreed7769]

Another 200 please 👍 Great fun shoot ✨

Don't you just love this show!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

I do, yes :P

[@MattBlanck]

What great 200th episode. Great group shot.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

thank you

[@tomcorbett5508]

Love it! Could you do More on How to Pose Groups Daniel? A lot of Photographers find it tough to get appealing to the eye compositions and to get the most out of a group if you follow ?

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Could be an interesting topic

[@marktomphotography]

Congrats on 200. Keep up the stellar work. 👍🏼

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thank you!

[@policeboy1288]

Incredible

[@dunnymonster]

Dave has one of the best jobs 😁 Congrats on No. 200!

Indeed

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

😊

[@slaidaniel628]

Very accurate information dude ☺️

[@davewall4931]

Great fun (and informative) shoot.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thanks for watching!

[@Enrique-the-photographer]

It was about time you did a group shoot, I’ve been asking you to do one for years and years and years (I like to exaggerate LOL). Great video/tutorial Daniel and congratulations on the 200th episode.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

😬

[@winni223]

Nice! I hope Daniel is going to do something special even earlier than the 400th episode comes out. :)

[@jimroberts1280]

What a fun video to watch! Good job!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

thank you!!!

[@bobdots5974]

Ha! I turned out to be the 800th person to 'like' your 200th episode Daniel, that means it must be four times as good :) Always a pleasure to watch your videos and learn something...

[@robertocordero4682]

Congratulations👏👏👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

thank you

[@ronspeer]

This vid made me smile. There are quite a few talented photographers on CZcams but probably the one thing which separates you from the others (besides talent, of course) is your every man attitude. The fact that you have done it all in photography and yet you are willing to share your knowledge happily.
(How many times will you answer what size of softbox to buy when starting out or can you do what you do with strobes using speedlights?)
You may be a photographer with an unorthodox attitude but you are one who I will always watch in terms of photography.
Congratulations on your 200th video and may there be 200 more videos (if you want).

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thank you!

[@richardweathers6194]

That was a very framable & fantastic shot with all of you in there! We don't always get to see the photographer worked into the shot.

[@a-bela]

Happy anniversary!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thanks!

[@NIKONGUY1960]

Joy on the 200th episode, hahaha Congrats

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

thank you

[@PsychicWorldTV]

Awesome

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thank you!!

[@gentlegnt]

Daniel...my big issue with groups besides posing is WHERE do I have my focal point? I try to get all as close to same focal point as possible, besides that...is it ALWAYS the closest person's eye? Also, how many focal points should one use? 9 points? Single? Many thanks and congrats!! 👍🏾👍🏾📸😊

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

I use one point, on the closest person in this case

[@johnesposito5555]

Thanks everyone and congrats

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thank you!

[@Davenrachey]

What Af modes do you use when creating a shot like this?

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Single shot

[@BruceWalkerPhotography]

Got some good laughs from that. That's how to do a group shot!
Daniel, question: I can't tell from the video, but did you feel that your unconventional uneven sources from behind the scrim create the varying light you were looking for?

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Yes, I did 😊

[@garys639]

Dave ,the rose among the thorns...

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

lol

[@SuperQBAH]

Congratulations on your 200th episode. Like a greatest hits cd but where is Ashley?

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

thanks! She'll be in 400

[@Notmy00000]

200 thumbs up

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

Thank you!

[@kubacz6145]

[@gregorysargeant6305]

Great video, Daniel needs to be in all black with a ponytail and sunglasses to complete the image.

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

ha ha

[@sravan8428]

Who else watch these videos for marisa's intro pose and sign off pose??

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

💃🏼

[@hagarthehorrible1391]

Congratulations on this milestone.
The guy's posture didn't work for me though in these images.

[@mcculloughimagery4952]

Seth said to check this video out. This is impoverish on twitch btw

[@dominiqueabautret4967]

Great but please try to speak slower !!!!!!

[@joydeepchaudhuri]

Your pronunciation is complicated. Bring Gavin Hoey in stage, the best tutor.
