I love the way Gavin teaching.

Gavin is the best. I've learned more from his tutorials in 5 minutes than a lifetime with other videos and tutors.

Damn, I've had this same strip box for 2 months and haven't thought to use it like this, nice!

I am always learning something, more or less, from Gavin. But I always turn out to be in a happier mode when ending, than when starting. Such a positive attitude. Thanks, Gavin!

That's an *AWESOME* Soft Box! Thanks for sharing Gary & Adorama!

These tuts are gold!

Of all the videos I watch on You Tube, Gavin's are the easiest to understand and recreate which makes for great practice! Thx!!!

gavin you're my go to guy when it comes to any lighting or effects, love what you come up with keep em coming looking forward to the next video

I always get great tips from Gavin and they always work when I try them out. Thanks

Gavin, as usual another great tutorial. You make it look so simple. Keep up the GREAT work.

Very helpful for my students. Thanks Gavin.

Awesome vibes, always! Very rare among self proclaimed photography gurus. Gavin is simply the best technically, artistically and personality wise.

Did I say you are my best online photographer tutor yet? Thanks!!!

It’s amazing what you can do with 1 light. The end results look great!

Yet another great video, full of useful techniques we can bring to real life. Thank you Gavin.

Very informative - thanks!

Nice one Gavin. I will try at my home studio, I only have a 12"x36" but, worth a try.

Thanks for the tips Gavin. Best shot for me 6:19. Cheers!

very nice. easy to learn. thx alot

"I got the amazing Bryan!" Bryan wave unamusely. I chuckled. You are so funny, with your pretty accent and your pretty spirit, makes me want to conquer the world. Thanks so much i love you Gavin!

I liked this video. Good results. Being picky, light travels in a straight line, if a mirror, lens, water is not in the way. It can’t wrap. I’ve tried very hard to desensitize myself, but continue to fail. But I’m sure not going to stop watching your videos.

Thanks Gavin!

Great stuff!

awesome video. so happy to see brian after so long :-)

Another great video. One side not is that the further to the side the light is the more pronounced skin imperfections will usually be. That means more retouching work but it is a great effect.

Ever helpful! 👌

Bardzo dobra praca, super porady, tak trzymać :-)

.. brother Gavin your intros always give me life hehehe 😀😄😀😄😀😄😂 and your reviews are simple and effective! Your work is appreciated all the way from the Kingdom of eSwatini

Excellent as always Gavin! PS I've got that same collapsable Grey/Blue background, nightmare to get it closed back up! 😋😊

Excellent!

Wow superhit photography sir

Great tutorial

Superb!

Your the best Gavin

You make it look so easy

Thank you!

I’ve left all my soft box set up ready for when I get home tonight so this video came at good time and given me some good poses for my self portrait project I’m doing. Thanks Gav! I’ll tag you in the final results on my Instagram!

Hi Gavin, your tutorials are great! I would have mentioned that side walls with black curtains are needed to achieve the results you presented. I hope my comment complements your excellent video

Great stuff

thanks for this ~

It's got me buggered why people click thumbs down on this sort of content. What did you expect? That he'd tell you your portraits would suddenly look professional if you placed your softbox 3.7 feet from the subject and 27.93 inches forward of center? He have you the correct answer; experiment.

thanks Gavin Hoey, thanks Adorama :)

Very useful video , I learned lot from it, looking forward more videos like this keep it up good work, R.manohar , india,chennai

Just 2 words.. Thank you. 🙂

Thanks Gavin

I love the way this guy talks.

Thank you, Gavin. (I think you could photograph an empty tabletop and make it fun and interesting... I've always appreciated your enthusiasm!)

Hi Gavin, u r my favorite !!!

Lovely 😍

Where's that backdrop from? Love it!

I really love this video and have reconsidered getting a large soft box. This really helped me and really appreciate the video. Do you get the same results when you have the soft box vertical? Thank you

Thank you someone actually teaches it with the f stop that they use

thanks man...🙂🙂

Very Fine

Really a very informative video offered a lot of help Gavin! My other question is I noticed you had some room light going on when you took the photographs did you have any type of ceiling light or any other type of light going on?ambient light, thank you

since a few months I have been infected with the photography virus :-) After browsing the internet for tips and ideas, I came across your KZread channel last week Your explanation is great and above all easy to understand The only problem I have now is that I have little time to go to work ,, I just keep watching your videos :-) geezz am i addicted now ? haha but have a question, Gavin,, and saw it a few times in your studio ,, you just see the recording of the video clearly with good light, and when you show your test photo's are wonderfull dark in the background ,, so the question is ,, do you tunr the light off in the studio ? when you take the photo or how should I see it? it seems to me the light in the studio must have some impact on the photo ?

I have two square soft boxes, if I place them side by side to form a rectangle, will I get a similar effect? No need to answer, I will try it myself. Also thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and positive attitude.

Goodness, you sound a lot like David Mitchell! Great video, by the way.
