THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Everytime i get over my crush on Sophie, you bring her back in your videos to get my heart pumping fast once again. 😊 . Awesome video as usual Gav!!
Gavin Hoey is a master instructor and all around fun guy to learn from..Sophie is a genuinely natural beautiful model too.
Sophie was extra amazing today! That was a good tip Gavin about taking a wide photo to show where the light from the flash is hitting the reflector.
Hi Jeff, simple tip that but oh so educational 😊
Superb video! Really enjoyed your presentations at the photo show in Birmingham recently.
Thank you. Really learnt a lot. Gavin is a great guy. Amazing and funny and he makes every lesson enjoyable
Doh I never thought about just using the modelling lamp when I was practicing with a 3 strobe set up I got off eBay I’m just getting back into studio photography shooting my granddaughter so got little set up and trying to shoot almost wide open so I ended up using a variable nd to get the right balance
Love the effect of the grid as well will get couple a them for my soft boxes great video 👍👍👍
Just llooooovvvveee Gavin's demos. Always fun and exciting and informative!
Hi Sarah, probably the main reason I avidly follow and look forward to your vids is the personal aspect. By that I mean you graciously invite us into your life which is an absolute delight... it's the narrative I love as well as the wonderful images.❤
Extremely comprehensive display of versatility. Epic
Gavin and everyone involved in the team. Excellent video, I always learn something new from you. keep up the great work. Enjoy a great day.
Thank you. Biggest tip for me was the suggestion to ask the model to turn, look toward the modifier until they see the liner inside the softbox - in order to insure a catchlight in the eyes. Everyone says how important catchlights are. Meanwhile, Sophie should post her video on how she creates those mesmerizing facial expressions. Or maybe she really doesn't know - just confidence that comes with lots of practice and experience.
Great video guys. Sophie is just a natural poser, she knows the right pose to hit and uses her hands very well. This just proves you can do a photoshoot in your living room without a ton of space.I especially loved the low key shots of Sophie at the beginning when you started feathering the light.
Very helpful. Thanks a lot!
Thanks Gavin - always a great tutor. This was a super and engaging session (watched post live stream).
Thank you for doing this ❤so nice to see you live
Loved this thank you . Brilliant as always 👏👏
Thank you for sharing your experience over years, you're the man Gavin. James from South Carolina USA
Shout out to whoever is watching from Knoxville!
I watch late but like all the videos from Gavin, really fun and helpful. Thank so much to all the team and to Adorama...
I still say the Light Strainer, the Paniel and the Brooklyn Reflector should be marketed as a package deal.
Hello from Kansas, USA
Hi Gavin, i'm always interested in Flash photography and i always pick up good tips from this Channel. Thanks for sharing. 😃
Your videos are as always thoroughly enjoyable
Such a gorgeous model, you make Sophie absolutely incredible with your lighting. Totally inspiring!!
The photography dream team did it again ❤❤❤ … so much to learn from this video, especially about the capabilities of a grid. Looking forward to the next video. 👍👍👍
Grids are sooooo important IMHO so I'm glad to hear that comes across 😀
Informative content and tips Thanks Gavin, useful stuff.

Gavin I used the opportunity to take advantage of one of the Adorama deals on the Flashpoint XPLOR 300 Pro kit. Absolutely love it as well as the 24" Hexapop that came with it. Thank you and to Adorama for the savings.
Not only did I learn a few new things, I got a great deal on another light! Thank you!
Perfect, double win 😊
Always educational and well done Gavin - and Sophie is a fantastic model! :)
Thanks so much for this video. I have a photo shoot coming up with a race horse in a small stable. The lessons I learned here will transfer nicely to my situation.
Thanks again, keep up the great work.

Hello from Seattle 🎉
Could not make the Live. Super video and congrats to all the Gang for an excellent video. The B&W of Sophie were superb !
Great video! Lots of tips and tricks I never thought of utilizing - even after 30 years of being a photog. I guess old dogs (like me) can still learn new tricks 😂. Thanks for all your efforts and knowledge sharing. And kudos to Sophie and your crew as well 👍👍👍
Thanks Mike. Only 30 years? You're just getting started. I've got a few more years on you and I'm still learning all the time 😉
Thank you!!
Great job! Gavin and gang👍
Thanks Kevjn and Zoey. It was great❤
Excellent Thank you I learned a lot

Sorry I couldn't watch it live Sir Gavin, but you know I couldn't wait to see it today. Again, 100% and two thumbs up from me, always a learning experience. Well done the Hoey team, when are you going to do some workshops again PLEASE????
It's Del!!!!! I'd love to get back to doing some workshops. Sam and I keep talking about the but life/work seems to get in the way 😢
Shout out from Navarre, Florida (USA)!!

I missed the promo 😢 Great work with the tutorial! Sophie has beautiful blue eyes!
Good afternoon Gavin, Sam, Freya, and whoever your model is from Southern Maryland in the US.
What a gorgeous shot on the thumbnail
Hello from Albuquerque New Mexico!
From Haiti 🇭🇹 ♥
Why am I just now seeing this in my notifications. I was looking for another 400 but the sale ended 8/30! Dang!!!
Brilliant overview, can you comment on using the two collapsible backgrounds ie one on the b/g and one on the floor. I find the intersection of the floor and b/g distracting how would you deal with that ie PS?
Best Guidence
Hey Gavin, should I point my light meter towards the light or towards the camera. Thank you. I always love your videos
Thanks Gavin
Hello from Kentucky.
Great video, as usual, but I still maintain one "beef" with your term "Sync Speed." When you state that 1/250 sec is "the" sync speed for your camera, the implication perceived is that this is the ONLY sync speed. And this is simply not true, as any shutter speed slower is still a valid sync speed.
Correctly termed, the fastest shutter speed that can be used on a focal plane shutter, with flash, would be considered the "MAXIMUM sync speed."
Hello from Paris
Please after some advice, Ive got a Bowens xmt500 battery strobe, If i set my D850 to M 1/250th sec (FP) and ISO 100. and the aperture to F8 The flash is set to Manual. Without the flash the image is black, however even with the flash at full power the image is still black. The only way i can get any light even then its under exposed is to set the shutter to 1/60th. Ive checked the obvious no bracketing set etc no exposure compensation etc. Ive tried it with my D4 and its exactly the same. Any pointers?
hi from Canada
I'd love to have watched this live and to post live comments, but here in South Eastern Australia it was scheduled for 4am in the morning while it's still dark outside, cold and wet...
Hi from Delaware, USA
just wondering if Gavin has seen the 3d printed Bowen's mount light strainer that someone made and people can download and print for themselves. works awesome.
hi from Florida
My answer to question about no shoes: No need for full-lengths. Unless I HAVE to get a full-length, they don't need shoes. I, and most of my clients, prefer closer images anyway.😊
Hallo from Udine, near Venice, Italia! Stefano

Beautiful 👍👍👍📸👍📸👍👍👍
Doug from Cedar Rapids Iowa USA. Enjoy your info

One of the things I don't see a lot is how these spaces are small with the length and width, however Gavin's studio space there has a very high ceiling. Having a low ceiling can add additional constraints - trying to do a full body portrait with a low ceiling will leave you banging your softbox against the ceiling. I'd like to see some 'low ceiling' tips.
Ceiling height here is 7'10", not low but certainly not high. As I said in the live stream, I'd swap floor space for ceiling height any day!
What size are your backdrops and where did you get them?
Just watching this now and sadly the coupon doesn't work any more. Will it be reissued?
What tethering system do you use, and is that a MacBook Pro
hello from Lembata Indonesia
Do you recommend a wireless tethering system so I don’t trip
High Brilliant Gavin Hoey. Ron Bristol UK
I can get the same photos with sled flash by mounting them on soft boxes
