P mode, exposure comp on -1 and flash exposure comp to +1 will make your subject jump out of the picture. Slow shutterspeed + second curtain, and add a colored gel to your flash (adjust whitebalance) and you are on fire!
It can look fake though. Old school fill-flash balances fill and ambient to look natural. If done correctly, many people can't tell flash was used, but would see the difference if placed next to the same shot without flash. The modern trend seems to be 'let's make it obvious that flash was used' and make it look unnatural. As though there was a spotlight in the middle of a field lighting up the subject.
@@cooloox Or that’s just one way of many to make the photo your own. Some photos you may want it to look natural, but than you have some you want to subject to jump at you. Even still someone that doesn’t know photography still wouldn’t know what was going on. All they will see is a fantastic shot. Just have fun and do whatever.
I missed the live one. You guys rock, Gavin with his personality always steals my heart,,,,, great job,,,You are inspiring so many people around the world,,,,thank you,,,
Hi Gavin, you mentioned wedding photography (~ 13:35) - I do not shoot weddings but would you shoot differently today, with you'r versatility and practical experiance, would you shoot weddings differently? say with a couple of OCF and assistanses? I think some costumers can appreciate better quality than quantity. ...thinking about it now - OCF can stand for both: On/Off Camera Flash.
I thoroughly enjoy watching Gavin’s video lessons. His energy is remarkable and I especially enjoy his sense of humour. He keeps it light, fun and learning so much enjoyable! Thanks Gavin
I use that size softbox and ad400pro plus your sekonic meter. My camera is a canon eos rp and tamron 24-70 g2. Great video. More of this please..watching the live...recording. Hehehe
Can Nikon d750 camera work with new z series lenses ftz adapter because all videos in social media can use z series camera with f mount lens ftz adapter.But my question is f mount cameras with z series lenses Can it be used through any other adapter?
I het hotspots nom model face even using 120 cm octa Doesn't matter far or close to the subject Always get on nose and forehead Using Godox V1 in octabox
Can really relate to all the adjustment movement never enough time and heart dropping when something goes wrong. Fantastic. Gavin the Govnor everytime. Great to see how to work out the problems on the fly.
Is there any way to get more light on the legs? I love the position of the light but for some reason it bugs me when I take photos and the legs are in shadow
I've noticed in many of your videos that you mention you are using your flash sync speed of 1/250 sec. Wouldn't it be more accurate to say you are using your maximum flash synch speed of 1/250 sec.? I know that is the maximum flash synch speed for my camera before going into High-Speed Synch.
You should let Sam come on camera world curious to see what she looks like. It's so much fun watching you and these videos we all learn so much. I never saw anyone with as much energy as you I get tired just watching you run around. 😅
So not only do we both have transmitters held together with tape, both forget to turn on the lights before setting up but I caught that you announce out loud where you put things (flash meter) to help you remember or for someone else to tell you if that fails. Had to laugh because I noticed it's what I do just the other day.
Not sure if anyone ask this already… How do you go about using the meter when using multiple lights. I normally do 3-4 light set ups and being curious about using a light meter to take some of the guessing away.
Fantastic work as always. Where did Sophie learn posing and expressions, she is very good at it and curious how to get my subjects in same mindset/flow
Still use my Stofen filter, works a treat when travelling light. Sophie's make up choice makes a difference to the images too, not too shiny or orange looking. Great video again.
Great to see Gavin's not precious about making the odd mistake 👍😁

@@cooloox ver true!! Makes the subject seem “plastic”/ fake.
@@wyrmmm I get what you're saying.
How about a dismounted flash?
I missed the live one. You guys rock, Gavin with his personality always steals my heart,,,,, great job,,,You are inspiring so many people around the world,,,,thank you,,,
Great video, thanks Gavin, Sophie, Sam, Freya and Seth! 😎👍🇨🇦
Keep them coming Gavin! Love your quirky style of presentation and communication - an adorable "Crazy Uncle Harold" type figure (every family has one)

I always learn something useful with Gavin, today how to use the plastic cup of my flash and bouncing on a silver reflector.
I thoroughly enjoy watching Gavin’s video lessons. His energy is remarkable and I especially enjoy his sense of humour. He keeps it light, fun and learning so much enjoyable! Thanks Gavin
👍🌹👍😂so cute sweet 🌹 beautiful model nicely dressed 👍why not took standing photos of model 😂🙏🌹🙏
why don't you leave the manual
camera exposure alone, & just alter/try different manual flash settings on the flashpoint
!t ?
...eliminate variables !

Personally, I'd like to put it frosted gel over the Flash --- for more of a lightbox effect...
Speedlights used to come with those. I guess they don't any longer, maybe Nikon speedlights still do... not sure.
If using a Mirrorless Camera with Eye detection?Be careful with the bag of Potatoes.
Please STOP sticking your gear in front of the camera to camera to show your setting. Can we not trust you to tell us the settings?

Great to see how to work out the problems on the fly.
Really good video, lots of tips and great to see it live. Thanks
Amazing video, but one question would like to know what does he take to get that high...need to try that 🙌

Hello Gavin, from Cape Town South Africa
Hi from Melbourne Australia. How about a couple of flashes off camera with different setting on each?
could you plese post the lnk to the vdeo you mentioned re choosing your first flash
35:30 we can see the photo you shoot is not the one with the softbox, but with the manfrotto reflector
Genuine l like you show the good and the not so good same thing we all go through lobe Gavin
Is that intro scene the same woods where you photographed Fern?
i love the gavin´s video on adorama. Easy to understand
good insights.
Like how its all in the moment. We see what an actual photographer deals with on site, while also explaining the processes.
Another great outdoor flash tut.
One word Awesome 😀
Is your setting on auto white balance?

Hi there I'm from Philippines!
Hello. From quezon city Philippines too
Would it help using a small modifier made for a speedlight on camera
Good question
What lens are you using now?

The OCF looks much better once you metered and everything was right with the exposure. Purely opinion of course.
nice work Oklahoma city
I am so sorry I missed the LIVE VIEW today - I got my times mixed up - I was thinking New York time not UK time... but as always I enjoyed the video
You should let Sam come on camera world curious to see what she looks like. It's so much fun watching you and these videos we all learn so much. I never saw anyone with as much energy as you I get tired just watching you run around. 😅

And we too will return in 4 weeks for MORE GAVIN HOEY and the amazing CHLOE.
Love your energy and furnishing us with your wealth of information. Sophie is awesome and so are the ladies behind the camera too!
wish Adorama would ship their version of the Godox trigger to the UK, seems that we're the only Country that they don't
Not sure if anyone ask this already…
How do you go about using the meter when using multiple lights.

South Africa here. Your videos are really great. I have learned so much from you. Thank you Sir.
Well done ,my question is how speedlight is working when is on slave mode as I know should be on Master mode when is on camera Thank you
Fantastic work as always. Where did Sophie learn posing and expressions, she is very good at it and curious how to get my subjects in same mindset/flow
Hi from Tucson,Az
P is for professional mode
Hi Gavin! When you taking pictures with flash do you need to setup white balance?
P stands for perfect ;) Thank you for the stream, Sophie is such a sweet lady
thank you very much
Still use my Stofen filter, works a treat when travelling light. Sophie's make up choice makes a difference to the images too, not too shiny or orange looking. Great video again.
When your just using flash as fill light is directional light from your flash still important? Do you still need to get the flash off the camera?
Why do I get flash lag. I press shutter but flash fires 2 seconds later.
to irritating to watch
Haven't watched yet but I know i can say: "Another great video" and not regret it.
Get a GoII from Rode
Please i want u to make a tutorial on your audio sound quality of your videos. im huge fan of you.

This is very important lesson for us
I have one of those. It came with my flash.
You are always sheets of joy to watch
