    Lighting from above gives an amazing look to your portraits but in a small studio space it also creates a number of problems. In this video Gavin Hoey has some great photography and lighting tips that will help make a small studio space feel bigger.
    Of course there's also some Photoshop tricks that can help make a small studio look bigger and Gavin has some great tips there too.

    I really appreciate that you guy's are doing these lessons so passionately and so full of detail all for free. The difference that it's made with my own shots or skill level is huge! 10yrs ago you would of thought you could only get this kind of knowledge from a photography course at a school. So thank you very much.

    Gavin is one of my favorite photographer because he shows how to do a lot of different type of photography in a small studio!!! Not everyone has a lots of money for a hugs studio. Thanks Gavin!!!!

    My goodness, those worked out GREAT! I have never seen anyone being as good with lighting as you. Really, really great!
    But what I love most about your videos is you, being a very down-to-earth guy, not boasting, not sassy like sooo many other photographers on TH-cam.

  • @johannestornquist
    @johannestornquist 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These videos are amazing! I love how you Hoey always takes his time to demonstrate what every single light with every setup (like before and after diffusers) does to the scene. Really great work!

    Gavin inspires me a lot and I learn a lot. Without very expensive gears and small studio we still can make awesome photos. I watch also a lot the other photographers on YT but their gears, lighting etc are very expensive and often too complicated lighting set up.

    Hi Gavin, thank you for this tutorial. I believed your photography tutorials are much more magical. Not just you magically present your videos richly magically enriching, it is also magically pleasing to watch. Your smiles are big magic too. That magic on stretching the light at the end is a real sorcery! Awesome pose Anton. Merry Christmas everyone

    i learned the valuable lighting structure from this video, which i'd always wanted to know for the dramatic effect, thanks to Gavin.
    And Anton seems to surely know how to pose~ & what to show, which made the photos looked even more dramatic & mysterious. Great results.

    I haven't written a lot about how Mr Gavin Hoey and Mark Wallace and others have effected my start in actually holding a Camera several years ago. studying with Beyonce's online for 15 to 16 years didn't hurt being able to pick up on a lot those giants creativity. I saw Mr. Hoey and his Ps work with a girl holding a lamp in the snow a couple of years ago, i was hooked with those guys since then. it's been limitless attempts of creativity starting to bloom for me _ thanks guys I've even began to print photos

    Hello Gavin. Without a doubt, another extraordinary video. Congratulations
    I see almost everyone who posts but I have a question to ask. When I shoot in my studio, I turn off all lights other than the flashes, to avoid light contamination. In your demonstrations, I notice that, in general, you use flashes but do not turn off the ambient lights.
    Do you do white balance beforehand?

    Great video as always.
    In the past you were using a full frame and an APSC BUT for the last year or so you started to use an Olympus MFT body .... so do you find it better than Full Frame?

    • @GavinHoey
      @GavinHoey 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I switched to Olympus back in June 2015... is it better? Well it depends on what you shoot. I get more depth of field then full frame, I get less back and wrist discomfort. Flip side I get more noise at high ISO but as I shoot mostly with flash at low ISO that's not an issue for me.
