OnSet with Daniel Norton: Why and When to Use Hard Light

When teaching lighting, especially for portraiture, most photographers will wisely state, "Use soft light." This is not because using soft light is better; it is because it is easier. Soft light simplifies the process of creating a "safe" portrait. But hard light, that's how we can create unforgettable portraits.

Join Daniel Norton OnSet as he shows you how to shape and sculpt the face using hard light. How it can be used to flatter the subject, and mistakes to avoid.

Please Note: This is a don't miss in-person event that is also livestreamed on the Adorama YouTube channel.
