One Light Rim Light | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
There are many ways to create rim-lit portraits or product shots and most of them involve the use of multiple lights or flashes. But there is a way to achieve the perfect rim-lit portrait with just one flash and one medium to a large-sized softbox.
As Gavin Hoey demonstrates, a single small flash placed behind your subject will create unflattering rim light. And in a small home studio that light will bounce off the walls and back onto your subject. But a large light source, such as a softbox, creates wrap-around light that is a lot more controllable.
Gavin shows how a low-tech, DIY black background placed against a softbox creates amazing rim light from just one light. But he doesn’t stop there. Next, he adds a colored gel and later some smoke to elevate the look even further.
Finally, Gavin takes you into Photoshop and creates a split-toned gel look with just a few clicks of the mouse.

This guy is amazing. Love lighting tutorials!
We just can not get enough of Gavibs creative and effective ideas! Thanks!
Honestly Gavin you’re my favorite teacher!!! Men I didn’t see that creative color coming. Wow! Respect
Thanks Gavin! I finally started to make home studio color gels photoshoot because of your videos! And results are amazing!
So beautiful!
Absolutely Brilliant.
Gavin Hoey is definitely my Superhero of photography! 🤩🦸
Rim lighting is of my favourite looks! Love the addition of the split toning - I'll definitely be trying this!
Simply amazing!
Thank you Gavin!! What an amazing trick and demonstration. Just last night I was wondering about black foamcore to reshape an octobox into a stripbox… it kinda blows my mind that putting foamcore in the center creates this other outcome so well. Your videos are the first I watched in learning techniques, and now part of my living is through photography. So, thank you for your spirit, enthusiasm and generosity!!
Fantastic technique, I'd never think to part block the softbox the way you did to maintain the black background. Good to see your smoke machine is back ☺️
Wonderful demonstrations. Bravo Mr. Hoey.
Great as always.
Gavin is the OG of KZread photography! 😊
That's AMAZING! Thank you, Gavin and Katie.
If you see the final picture, you wouldn't imagine just how easy it was to make it. Great job, Gavin (as usual!!)
The most genius idea ever!
Just discovered this dude, Gavin, and I cant get enough! Guy is very well spoken, clear, and easy to understand! Thanks and good work.

The Maestro at Work with a fall back to Simplicity because this is the truth beauty of everything, Bravo!
Thanks Gavin!🤝
Gavin, you are the best instructor in Adorama! Love watching and learning from your videos!
After watching his video I looked into my photo store room and found all these items (including smoke machine) and did not realise I had the combination of items to do the same shoot. Met Gavin at the NEC photography show a few years back and have always admired his way to show in simple terms.
Another beautiful lesson for the day ✨ good job
Thank you Gavin. Fantastic
Gavin is a true wizard
A Gavin Hoey video without smoke isn't a video at all! 😀
Excellent!
You are simply marvellous, Gavin.
Awesome...thanks Gav !
Terrific!
Gavin, you're the best !!
So useful! thank you Mr. Gavin
Wonderful and THANK YOU for this great idea.
Looks fantastic
Very grateful for this. Sometimes there is genius in simplicity. Recently, I was stuck without a softbox but I had a window that had terrific natural light through it. Inspired by this video I grabbed a very soft solid black t-shirt and used my backdrop clamps to attach it to the blackout drapes in the room, thereby creating a reasonable effect similar to the one in the video, with about 4" of light on either side, about 6" of light below and a little more light above. It took me 3 shots to get the settings on my Nikon sussed and to figure out where to set the height. I used 2 lenses and in a total time, including setup, of less than 30 minutes I got a couple dozen gorgeous pictures that are getting really positive feedback. Best part was a really happy model who didn't have to wait for endless setups, retakes, or hold poses for extended periods of time. Would have never thought of even trying that improvised setup if I hadn't seen this video, so I thought I'd definitely share the extension of the approach. Many thanks!
Love this. Thank you.
Gavin you’re the best, very helpful post!
I'm proud with my Olympus when i watch the video 😉 !

Do you have any idea why my outcome shows flare and low contrast images? I believe everything I've tried is the same as Gavin's set-up.
You sir, are a master at your craft. I appreciate you sharing this technique.
