Rim Light With One Light | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

- The perfect rim lit shot is usually achieved using multiple stripboxes and flashes all carefully positioned around your subject. The results can be amazing but if you only have one light photographer Gavin Hoey has you covered.
In this video, Gavin will show you how to use a single light (Flashpoint Evolv400) and a stripbox (Glow 16”x40” Quick Strip Softbox) to take multiple shots of several static glassware items, all lit from various angles.
The shoot is only part of the process so once the photos have been taken Gavin walks you through the simple Photoshop steps that will combine multiple images into a fully rim lit finished photo.

You're videos are absolutely some of the best available. Not only are they extremely informative but your personality makes it enjoyable! Stay awesome Gavin!
Gavin, what a lovely person you are. I just admire your mannerisms and the way you talk.....so gentle, yet authoritative about your subject.
I must admit, I have learnt so much during these lock-down days from your tutorial videos, and I have become an instant hit among my friends and family. Thanks to you.
As always I enjoy how you build up, show and explain why you are doing things how you are, and especially the steps and where they are when you are using photoshop. Great video.
Another great tutorial, Gavin, thanks!
Looking into this further, I picked up a top tip for aligning images manually - use the 'Difference' blend mode to accurately highlight misalignments (swap back to screen or lighten afterwards), and use the 'Ctrl' key with the arrow keys to maximise precision when adjusting the position of the layer.
I like how simple you make your process, a big fan of your work.
Well done, Gavin. Very simple, direct, and easy. Thank you for sharing. I have enjoyed your your presentation.
I have been following your tutorials since I purchased the speedlight. I'm going to try this kind of shot. Thank you so much and your videos are very consise and easy to follow.
As always, your videos are excellent and very instructive. Thanks Gavin. I enjoy watching.
Simple, clear, well communicated - your videos are brilliant. Thank you.

The best thing I learned watching this video was in the editing part zooming in at 100% and looking for that black or white halo and making a small adjustment so that it’s perfectly aligned.
as always, brilliant
I was looking for a tutorial on photographing glassware. This is just perfect 👌. I always manage to learn something new from your videos so I’d like to say a big ‘Thank you’. 👏👏👏
This was amazing, thank you
Thanks for posting this, great tips!
Excellent Video, Many thanks.
Gavin, thanks so much for this excellent video. I especially appreciate the file stacking tip in Photoshop. Cheers from the US.
I just love all your videos, you are the best.
Greetings from Sweden
Lovr Gavin's tutorials.
Cheers from Canada Gavin..... on any given day you're quite inspirational, during Covid times even more so :)
That was a lot of fun. Guess I need to get a rim light and photoshop? Once again another great video.
Will be doing this with my lighting group at our club,whenever that is[here in Australia we are a little ahead of you up there] thanks Gavin.
Gavin you are the best!!
i don't know what to say. i wish he was my physics teacher or something like that, because he can explain things so simple and easy, anyone can understand that. good job mate! keep it up!
Really great. Learned a lot, as usual from your video's.
Great video as usual Gavin, cheers 👍
Yo rock as always Gavin!!!!
Very informative,Thanks Gavin
As usuall a great video and well explained.
I'm go'na try what you've just explained and see if I can get "similar" results :)
Love the idea
Really enjoyed this video. Your communication skills make for inspiring content. Thanks.
This is amazing thanks
Great episode guys
Like it. Yes, more lights are better, but not always practical if traveling and one has to keep their kit size at a minimum. This is helpful to get the creative juices flowing.
Excellent! Just Perfect! You make it so easy!!! Now I'll take this into practice, I too have just one flash, so with this trick I can go on and take product photos the right way and using just one flash! Thank you very much!!!! :D
you are the best, greetings from BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
Spectacular ji.. really useful lighting class... thanks a lot sir.....
Fantastic video

I learn so much from you.... Thank you very much sir.
my frend you are the master saludos desde Bolivia

Confinement. Yes it is important to create in these times!

Today we have a new tutorial from Gavin Hoey. Today is a good day 😁
One word - brilliant!
Thanks Mark 👍
Brilliant!
Thank you for the excellent video. I look forward to trying this technique. I need a new computer first. In the meantime, keep up the great work. I learn so much from your videos. I look forward to each new one you put out
Gavin is my favorite photographer
Very nice !
Thanks, Gavin. These tips are great for those with small studio spaces, and/or limited equipment, and you always show that it's possible to achieve great results with a little creativity. Very handy!
You are the best greatings from 🇲🇽
Thank you Gavin
Wonderful Lesson !!! Also good to see a Lenovo & Windows.
Sir your great photo grapher 👌
Nice one, thank you.
this is gold
Gavin thank you! I didn't have a strip box so I covered the sides of my octagon box to try it. A little awkward but it worked.🤪
Hi Jody. I did exactly the same thing for years. Then I saw how much Adorama Glow EZlock boxes were and realised they we worth the money 😉
I'll be doing the same with a square softbox. :)
I learn so much watching Gavin's videos. This was masterful, love the PS details on how to align everything.
So cool 😎
Awesome
I like this
Fantastic demonstration, you make it look so easy, I have been messing around trying bottles I have loads of images but could not blend them I was messing around in lightroom. Now you have encouraged me to go back and try again. Thank you. One other thing how do you deal with labels?
You always make it look so easy!
I love your explanation for rim lighting, I had a lot of trouble working with glassware when I was in a lighting class; you're video made me understand that lesson much more! I was curious what kind of tablet you are using in this video? I'm looking to get a tablet to work on the go! Thank you!
Thank you for the great tutorial. As a question this effect can be derived from long exposure too no... with continuous lighting setup. Since both camera and subject are standstill. Am I correct...
As always Gavin great content that inspires always looking forward to your videos
If your softbox is large enough in relation to your subject, you can use one light and create a ONE EXPOSURE rim lit photo by placing a background card that just fills the background in camera and blocks the light of the softbox which is placed immediately behind the subject, but leave enough boarder of the lightbox which will provide the main backlight source. The glowing background coming from below can be achieved by tilting the background card down so light from the softbox hits the bottom edge. You will need a stand and grip solution to hold the background card. (Sculpting wire and sticky tack is good for this) Additional highlights and fill can be added with silver or white reflector cards.
One light (with softbox) rim lit product shot, all done in camera. But that said, the technique shown above will provide greater control and will likely yield a better result if you have the time and patience.
வீடியோ மிகவும் பயனுள்ளதாக இருந்தது மிக்க நன்றி
Very useful This video , big thank you (R.MANOHAR ,Chennai.India)
I'm always excited when one of your videos pops up Gavin, here or anywhere. You're most definitely the best, most concise TH-cam teacher in the photo space, kudos and appreciate it. Quick question, could you link or describe your stand setup for the bottle? I actually have the glossy acrylic pieces, but that light stand looking stand with the base would be a super convenient addition to the basement studio. Thanks!
The table was a lockdown special, DIY build but you can get things like a TetherTools laptop table which will be far more safe and stable.
fantastic video. very simple and easily explained. one question. are the strip lights placed to the rear at 45 degrees?
Very nice video and great example from start to finish. Perfect timing for a product type shot I'm trying to improve upon to build my skills. My extra curve ball is having a background that is displayed on an HDTV screen that I want accurately reflected and bent in a clear bottle, the clear liquid, and other transparent objects in the shot. Maybe I add a fourth or fifth shot to the mix and mask out the objects in front of the screen to get the reflections in the objects and not worry about any reflections that are bound to happen on the TV screen during the rim light shots. Back to the setup and start testing lighting, etc. Of course if you need an idea for another video..... 8-)
Thank You for lesson! Do You plan similar content about photos of shiny bright things?
Dang, I hoped you'd say, "So, let's get a light set; let's get an object in; and, let's get started!" :D
Hi Martin. I can't wait for the day when I can say "...Let's get a model in..Let's get shooting!" Not there yet unfortunately
"Let's get a *bottle* in, let's get shooting" 😬
@@GavinHoey I still love your videos, regardless. I literally stop *anything* else I'm doing to watch when I see a new one post!
One of your best...
So far!
Now I just have to work out the editing - I use Affinity Photo, so there's a bit of cerebral activity called for 😩
Let me know if you need some help working it out...
