THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
![[LIVE] : ONE ลุมพินี 68 | คู่เอก "พระจันทร์ฉาย vs โจนาธาน"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/F3IM3w-XchI/mqdefault.jpg)
How much i adore this guy, i think he is the best tutor and he's got a superb sense of humor. Gavin, you are simply flawless.
Couldn't agree more!
I truly have to agree - Amazing tutor!!!
I’ve been so inspired by Gavin and he makes learning off camera flash so easy. He is the sole reason for me to have ventured into off camera flash. I’m a motorsport shooter and never considered portraits, people and using off camera flash
Agree,he is the best
So much positive energy! Such good info!
Adorama, I bought a lot of camera gear from you, so please let Gavin continue to do more of these live sessions next year 2023! Wishing Gavin/Sam and the rest of your models a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2023.
Outstanding event. Full salutations to Gavin and Adorama. Please continue such events. It really helps budding photographers.
This guy is a true ambassador for Adorama & photography...great educational instructor ... the young lady is absolutely gorgeous too ....
Great live shoot many thanks 😊
You are the best Mr.Gavin🌻
Hello, watching from Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤ Happy New 2023 Year 🎆
Over the years I've learned a ton watching your videos. I started photography knowing very little about the craft, today I owe a debt of gratitude to you Gavin Hoey and adorama for the great content presented over the years. Thank you.
Me too!!
Great timing. I've been gathering the lights, candles, and lanterns to experiment with a similar, but not the same setup. You have added some new things to try. Thanks Gavin and Chloe.
Seh has to be the nicest model ever. Always smiling and nice.
Centerburg, OH. Enjoying it.
@Adorama PLEASE keep bringing us more Live Gavin Hoey!

Hey ,watching the replay from Chicago Illinois, -18 C with 20 mile an hour winds brrrrr, 0 degree F
And I do know The Dexters Midnight Runners-Come On... :}
Coming from France mate, great to see another video. It's cold in France my first European winter and as an Australian it's cold here hahaha. Great content as always and would love to meet you in person for a shoot one-day. Have a great week mate.
King!!!
Hi Gavin, I've been missing your videos! Merry Christmas for all of you!
can you share the name of the Fairy lights you were using and where you purchased them?
Love Energy ways fun shows with great ideas
-5°C here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada... Excellent video guys! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄
watching from belgium
Can we get a link to the fairy lights?
Seeing a replay from NJ.
At 38:05 - “spikes like street lights” are generally an artifact of intentional use of a small aperture. Gavin is wide open.
100% that’s how I get sun stars as well… more aperture blades more spikes.
I use to call it blur also or depth of field. Turns out the Japanese word for blur is 'boke'. Language has always fascinated me. Fun video. It is interesting to see a different approach to bokek, being that the effect is being treated as another subject in the picture. Sorry I missed it live.
wow so good video tutorial Bokeh Portraits thanks youuu
Really enjoying this! Gavin, you have been one of my favourite inspirational photography gurus before you joined Adorama. I've learned a lot from you over the years.
At the risk of sounding stupid, what was the homemade lighting modifier that you used? It looked almost like round cutlery strainers?
Super ♥️
Greetings from sunny Dubai. Its about 20 C here now at 0200 hrs
Dang it...did I miss it yet AGAIN?!
From the Philippines
link led usb pls Gavin
Albuquerque, NM; Cold here.
UGH!! I missed it live :( I hope my potato leek soup i was making during that time was worth it lol
Great video Gavin merry Christmas, the layer on top the visibility was turn off, so in order for it to un gray it then you can use the Nick collection will then work just thought I would suggest that
since nobody noticed it, i just want to state how lovely Chloe is
I have learned so much from Gavin. I have even purchased some of his lighting suggestions to my great joy. They work better than I imagined. One question for Gavin; what is the size of your studio?
Hi Vic. My studio space is 15' by about 12' when we're filming or going live. 15'x17' when I'm just taking photos.
It’s a small home studios. He mentions the dimensions in many of his videos, i just can’t recall at the moment.
It’s mowtown weather in South Wales….3 degrees, 4 tops !!!
I never realized that Gavin was a Time Lord! (Reference in the first one minute).
Gavin reminds me of Sylvester McCoy's Dr Who
Thanks again for a great live stream. Forgot to ask during the session - when you took the pictures of just the led lights, the ones you added in post, where did you set your focus point?
Good question... I set the focus to manual and dialled it in to the closest possible focus.
I need more bohek tutorials inside studio with strobe flashes, when I shot portrait with flash studio they kill the ambient light of the bokeh
Alberta Canada
Toronto, canada.
Southern Kentucky
A week late, but Dayton, OH USA
ok - what was the gizmo called with the holes in it??? Some kind of kitchen thingy?? (Gavin and company, you are the greatest)
I wish I had a f1.2 lens
Gavin I thought you came to the USA. I use to watch you all the time when you were across the Pond.
Hi Rick. I came to NYC a few times pre-pandemic, hopefully I'll get back there again in 2023.
It's freezing in Missouri.
Need to unlock your background layer so effect can be applied
Any advice for finding TFP models?
On my Canon 7D mark II, I have the ability to lessen flicker in my camera setting. Eric
I know your strainer is a kitchen product but I can’t find it, can you share what exactly it is?
Please show how to take portrait picture with Christmas lights.
can someone please share what the light strainer is..? where to find a couple please..?
Sorry, not live, but I'm a day late and a dollar short, which means... I'm totally "On brand!"
Tried this using my wife and the Xmas tree and it’s lights as the background. Canon R6, RF35 f1.8. Doesn’t come out as good. In AV, f1.8, ISO100 and around 1/2 a sec shutter speed was the better of the photos.
I shall continue to watch the video.
Weather? It's allegedly summer here. But in SE Australia it's like winter (which would be like your summer, I'd guess). ie. rainy, cloudy, temps around 15 degs C (about minus 200 in the old language if you're still measuring things in cubits...)..
Was this just published from viral photo tips for instagram influencers in 2018?
I believe sensor size makes a differences. Could you set up a test to prove it does not?

🤩👍
👍🏻
What time are the live broadcasts?
@Adorama @GavinHoey I may have missed it, but what ISO settings did you use? I have my camera set to ISO100. Or should I set it to AUTO? Thanks.
