    Low Key lighting is more then simply photographing against a black background. Join us in this episode as photographer Gavin Hoey explains the technique of a correctly exposed image that mostly learns towards the dark side.
    If you shoot in a small home or portable studio, low key lighting is one of the best lighting styles to learn and this video will give you some amazing ideas to start you off.

    Gavin has probably the best tutorials. They are professional and Gavin has such a good energy, it is inspiring to listen to him. I love the simplicity of his teaching and it's easy to follow his advice step by step in order to learn. Added with the professional quality in the films, both video and audio, these are so good.

    The Camera RAW part was super informative. I've been using Photoshop for a very long time and I've always done those kinds of edits 'manually' after the Camera RAW adjustments. It's effectively the same result, but this technique is really slick. Thank you.
