Tutorials don’t need to be long and in-depth to get the point across.

A prime example of that is the latest video from Daniel Norton on behalf of Adorama Pro.

In the 85-second video, Norton shows how a simple two-light setup can be used to create strong, dynamic portraits. Specifically, Norton shows off how a gridded beauty dish in combination with a rim light can bring out the strong features of a subjects facial structure.

It’s short, sweet and to the point. Just the type of tips we like.
