Control the Contrast in Beauty Portraits: Shaping a Model's Face with light

Join Daniel Norton OnSet in his studio in New York City as he demonstrates a simple technique to control the contrast in beauty portraits using the angle of your flash.



Using a Profoto Monolight and an octagon softbox with grid, Daniel adjusts the angle of the light to the model's face in a series of exposures to show how this creates shadow and light patterns of various contrast levels.
