Usually they behind the camera but they're always there 👍

This video was one of the most eye opening for me because I have always adjusted my f/stop to get the background blurred out. "Who knew" I could just get closer to what/who ever I was taking photos of. Nice work, thanks for this tip (I'm doing my nieces wedding in a month, so I am brushing up on my portrait know how before I disappoint her with "free" but terrible wedding photos :) .

It is Always a great pleasure to see your photography👏Greetings from Rome, Italy👍📸

so great to see you outdoors. ive had some great results with strong direct sunlight with no modifiers but i certainly had to work harder to get the results i wanted. Chloe of course steals the show! i love it

Love it! I have my first on site fashion shoot coming up soon and this knowledge is just what I needed. Now I'm going to practice. Thanks for sharing.

We had enough sun at the end of May for me to think Summer was here... but sadly it didn't last.

Useful, as always, and many thanks, of course to the 'amazing/awesome Chloe'. Good to see you using the Fujifilm X-H2, for a change, along with 2 of the lenses that I also use regularly with this camera. My question is, however, why do you find it necessary - not for the first time - to denigrate the British weather? I am sure that you get sunny days where you are in the country just as we do here in North Norfolk!

Fantastic

"How much do you need?" All of it!

Love your videos! I have trouble using my xplor 300 on location. Not sure if it's because i'm using small softbox or if it's my settings

Well done Sir! Great to see you once again.

Gavin turns grey and Chloe more mature now, time flies so fast

Hi Gavin - great video as always! One quick question; how do you deal with green cast on models from the surrounding foliage when shooting outdoors? Is it something best cleaned up in post or is there a technique I’m missing?

Another helpful video Gavin, thank you. Slowly learning with your help. What have you done to Chloe’s tattoos though?

@GavinHoey

That was all Chloe's work. I believe she needed some portfolio images with her tattoos covered.

@@GavinHoey HA HA HA… Ok, I think you may have a point. But is that the photographer or model then that is the factor? 🤣 Let’s just keep Chloe in front of and you behind the camera. 📸 Take care, can’t wait for another great video!

As I said in my first comment, yesterday, another useful and informative video, for which many thanks! As on so many of your videos, much of the success of your presentations relies on the experience and professionalism of your model. I know you have made a video, in the past, on 'working with your first real model' and how valuable it is to do so, but have you made one on finding your model in the first place? If not, is this something you would consider? I can see how working with someone like Chloe would be extremely beneficial but, as a complete beginner in this business of contacting professional models (despite being very ancient in photography and years) I don't know how to go about this, and, as an amateur, is this even possible?

Hi Kenneth., good question. I've exclusively used Olympus / OM System for about 8 years so it's about time I looked at what else is available (and how it compares). So I borrowed a Sony in March and a Fuji in May.

@@GavinHoey what is it about OM that makes you want to look elsewhere? Is it the lack of DoF control, resolution, AF, or something else???

Awesome video (as usual ;) ) do you mind letting me know which color simulation do you use?

@GavinHoey

2 ай бұрын

I processed the RAW files to my taste so I guess the colour simulation would be "Me"

Gavin.. what filter did you use?

Since you are using a flash, with that wide of a depth of field, normally you would be having to shoot at 1/250 or 1/200 of a second shutter before loosing sync with your camera. I know you can either shoot in high speed sync and shoot at a high shutter speed, or use an ND filter to cut the light going into the lens. Whenever I shoot with settings similar to yours with the fill flash, it's too bright. Which would you recommend, an ND filter or High Speed Sync?

@GavinHoey

2 ай бұрын

Both work well once you master the technique, so which ever feels best for you and your flash gear is the way to go. Personally I prefer HSS as it's built right in to the flash / transmitter, so no extra kit needed.

Great video Gavin good results.

No, OM System (Olympus) was filming the video and will return as my photo camera. However I'm currently in a position where I can try out other brands and I'm doing just that 👍

Thanks for another informative video, Gavin and Chloe.

Scatto sempre con i flash per ottenere il risultato lowkey che è il mio stile. se possibile utilizzare la modalità hss, è meglio utilizzarla oppure meglio lavorare fisso al sincroflash e quindi lavorare solamente col diaframma?

Great photo shoot you 2 are great

Great work as usual.

Good stuff as always, Gav!

If I'm in a situation where I need to use HSS on my flash, because the environment (or certainly the background) is just too bright for the aperture I wish to use, can I adapt the power of the flash when it's running in HSS mode? I know it's always going to be weaker than non HSS, but my flash still gives me the option to change the power. But is it actually doing anything?

Didn’t you use the little flowers as foreground and the model sitting?

Was it coincidence or is Adorama reading your mind 🤣

I never realised he is based in the UK

Your shooting with a fuji x h2 with a max flash sync of 1/250 th of a second yet your data says 1/800 even 1/4000 th @ iso 200 so you didnt use flash in those the reflector?

How did you end up from 1/250 at 2.8 to 1/6400 at 1.2 with same exposure practically.. as far as the background goes.. I also don’t know how it wasn’t blown out at 1/250 mindblown

No More OM System gavin?
