Portrait Shooting Distance - Why It Matters: OnSet ep.184

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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...
