I think we are all agreed, Gavin makes everyone's day better! I love the enthusiasm, the direct teaching without waffle, and the whole experience is one of joy. Now we just have to clone him and get him in our schools!

I agree, 100%. I had a rough day and I thought it will be a good idea to watch some of tutorials from Gavin. And indeed, it cheered me up a little bit.

Excellent video! Gavin is always there to show something to learn.

Thanks, Gavin, Chloe, Sam and Freya 😎👍🇨🇦

I’ve been watching your videos since you started. I know most of what you’re teaching, although I still find something new to me once in a while. The real value to me is twofold. One, being reminded of things I’ve forgotten or take for granted, and two, you are a great creative inspiration for me.

Chloe 🥰 Simply the best!

Very inspiring poses.

I save all your turtorials ,YOU are the best teacher. Great ideas you have, such a big fan . Thank you so so much

It's always a treat when you get home from a long day at work and see Gavin Hoey has uploaded a new video. Really enjoyed this mate, great set up, brilliantly explained, with beautfiul results 👍😊

Gavin Hoey, the best!

I'm always excited when I see a new "Take and make great photography". They are always great, my favorite is with Chloe and the autumn leaves scattered around her. I replicated that idea and my 16 year old granddaughter was my model. OK, now I have to start that long wait until another episode. Thanks Gavin, Chloe and Adorama.

Great video Gavin

As others mentioned, I really look forward to and enjoy all your videos. I did a shoot today with a mixture of low power led’s and flash and rewatched your video on this topic and got great results. You are a brilliant teacher.

Caught this late yesterday. Kudos to you, Sam and Chloe. Your shots on the first half were at f5.6 using native shutter for flash while towards the end it was f1.4 using HSS. Creative choice because of aperture? Love your tutorials. Look forward to another. Cheers!

Hi Gabriel. Very much creative choice, in this case the choice was for a shallow DOF in the closer head shots.

Your videos are always inspirational, but this one shines for me even more. On this particular video, I love the Manfrotto background system you're using here, the color grading you did via Color Look-up, the wood plank floor, and the "personality" that the chair provides. Thanks for all the motivation that you provide!

Great Video.

Great work as always Gavin & Chloe.👌🏼👌🏼

Não consigo parar de assistir seus vídeos. Obrigado!!!

Thank you so much Gavin and Adorama for the very informative tutorial!

Beautiful images, I may watch this again. Great 👍🏼

Such an awesome result and tutorial, Gavin! I have to keep reminding myself that I can create beautiful images in studio with 1-2 lights and a reflector! I love seeing the difference proximity makes in the falloff. I know the science. Now to remember it in practice!!!

Great video, amazing what you can do with just a chair.

❤!! 👌🏼

WOW

Thanks a bunch for yet another great video Gavin, and thanks also to Chloe and the team behind the (video) camera. I always find inspiration and motivation to try new things by watching your videos. It is not only the content, but also HOW you present it. I noticed you changed your camera settings for the last setup to f/1.4 and 1/4000s. Can I ask why you changed this?

@GavinHoey

Жыл бұрын

Hi Bjarte. For the final closer portraits I wanted to blur the background, hence the wide aperture. Unfortunately I can't turn out the room lights (no light = no video) hence 1/4000th sec and HSS flash.

Doing a kinda artsy photoshoot with a model is not on my to-do list. Nevertheless, every time I watch one of Gavin's videos, it looks like a lot of fun. If I ever get a small home studio, maybe I'll give it a try.

Gr8 stuff as usual Gavin! Your set had a definite transition between floor and background as opposed to an infinity roll. My question is where would you position the model so that transition does not grab you attention. An example being Not to place the model such that the transition appears to cut the model in half…

There really are no "rules" for where the join should go Charles. As a guide I'm aiming for the lower 1/3rd of the frame but honestly I'm not thinking about the join, I'm focusing of the feel. If it feels right to you it's spot on 😉

That was quick and informative. Thanks. Would really like to see how you work with a Gumby photographer and non model to get them positioned and directing with your guidance. One light (off camera flash) and a reflector, and no back drop. Ie slob like me trying to get a decent home photo of family.

Hi Don. No special tricks to make the models pupils dilate... maybe its the adrenalin rush of working on an Adorama TV video 😲 I wanted to blur the background, hence the wide aperture. Unfortunately I can't turn out the room lights (no light = no video) hence 1/4000th sec and HSS flash.

Hi David. There's a bunch of gear links in the video description which should be super useful for extra info. Try this one Manfrotto EzyFrame Vintage Background Kit, 6.5' x 7.5', Sage www.adorama.com/bglb7932.html

I add a strip of baseboard where the background meets the floor. I don't like the look of a roll of background material.

After following Gavin's educational video for years, I just notice that Gavin always uses battery-powered strobes, but not AC-powered strobes in his small home studio. Any particular reason?

@GavinHoey

Жыл бұрын

Hi Vernon. Battery powered flashes are great for several reasons, not least there's less cables for the model (but mostly me) to trip over. I don't need plug sockets, so the same lights can can on location. Back in the old days (aka about 8 years ago) most mains flashes had really slow flash durations, I'm sure they're better now but I still wouldn't go back to main cables.

Gavin! I know it is off topic(and I am sorry for asking) but do you know the exact cable I need to tether my Olympus E-M5 Mk II to my laptop?

@GavinHoey

Жыл бұрын

Hi Cory. The Olympus E-M1 Markii has a USB-C port so any USB-C to USB-(Whatever is in your computer) that is data compatible should work upto a maximum length of about 3 meters (10 feet). Personally I use TetherTools cables as they're bright orange and tougher then most.
