Gavin. You have the power to take amazing photos in a way we can all learn and repeat in small studios without it feeling like rocket science. I learn countless cool techniques from you. congratulations! Thank you.
Hey Gavin, One can not be greatful enough to thank you for your effort to teach what what every serious amateur-photographer wants to learn and apply. You show how to get great results without a 20k Dollar gear , so we can copy what you showed in the video. You are my number one, when it comes to photography. Best regards from Germany
The only photographer who make complete educational work in Easy and practical way. Keeps the good work Gavin. Thanks to Adorama for bringing always such great content 😊❤
I've used the first set up for my headshot sessions for the last four months since viewing this video and they have improved tremendously. Thank you Gavin.
You are so genius ! I like all your tutorials because it’s si clear and easy to understand. And your voice is perfect, because i speak french and understand you perfectly. Thanks a lot 😉🐶❤️
I've got encouraged to shoot in a small room with speedlights and umbrellas because I saw some of your videos from your "small home studio". :) Thank you Gavin!
It is always a pleasure to learn from you that with relative simple addings and lightning, you can make great photo's. And with the help of a very nice model as well of course.
I appreciate the tutorial on speedlights. I have 3 Phottix Mitros+ lights and find them to be very powerful. I like the ISO tip! Appreciate your passion for pics!
Hi Alan. We actually got lucky with Chloe's hair colour. She'd just done a job for a popular hair dye brand and by chance it was the perfect match for the look we had planned :)
Sensational images as usual. All the looks are superb but I do rather like the Manfrotto background as it reminds me of those beautiful Oliphant canvas painted backdrops. Well done, thank you.
Great video mister Howey!! Another great point to mention about speedlights - it´s strange to say - but... They are "weak"... Or at least goes to 1/128 - In many cases you don´t want that POWERFUL studio strobe.
Time to get the speed lights out of storage. I have been stuck on studio lights as I didn’t think I could achieve the same results, but Gavin has proven otherwise.
Thanks, Gavin for this. It looks like a simple setup and I love the idea of props to tell a story. It's something that we are trying with our camera club portrait group and everyone has so much fun with it.
Great video Gavin. Nice and simple and to the point. I've got to say when Chloe peeked up over the reflector I had to laugh. Thanks for the tips and advice. Gorgeous images. The brown you put on the background was fantastic.
I get the combination of zoom lens and tripon. What about prime lenses and moving more around studio? But thanks for the tip about background light. Its something I was looking for.
Great ideas as always Gavin and great work from Chloe. I find a small speedlight - I use a Godox TT350 - is always handy to light those little details that a bigger flash would overpower.
Thank you for another great video. Really nice pictures, but hey, with a model like Chloe it is hard to get it wrong :) It is nice to se that two speedlights and a small softbox will get you a long way. You mentioned that a downside using speedlights, is the lack of a modelling lamp. I do believe the V1 (X) has that feature, at least the Canon version has that.
The eye-detect feature of modern mirrorless cameras is the only reason I'm considering changing my camera (well of course I mean buying another camera). Getting eyes in critical focus, especially with a wide-open portrait Prime, is the hardest part of Portrait photography. Just when you think you got the perfect photo.... you check focus..and you know the rest.
I can do this! That's one of the reasons I love your videos as I feel like I can do this. I noticed you put another backdrop on the floor. How does that work? Do you like that? Thanks again for another awesome video!!!
I never miss one from you, always interesting and always learning something new. I have a Godox V1, which I guess is similar to the Flashpoint Zoom Li-on X with its round head and a modelling light inside the head. Do you use the modelling light of your Li-on X with a softbox sometimes?
Hi Marts. Both the Flashpoint speedlights also have modelling lights but on the rectangular one the softbox blocks it and on round head the LED is no match for the video lights!
Gavin you always make the best videos!! I have a question you might like to address in a future video. I am trying to do full length portraits with white curtain background and white floor. I nearly have it right but not quite. I have a white backdrop and then sheers. A Godox 200 either side between the two. A Godox 200 in a big black umbrella at the front and a reflector at my tripod. My problem is I still get light drop off down the dress and I don't want that. So how can I get the beauty light on her face but keep everything light and bright. I hope this makes sense. I can send you a photo if you wish. Thanks always for your fantastic videos. Much appreciated.
One problem I encounter with this setup is when people wear glasses the shadows from the frames and extra light under the eyes. Can you show us how you deal with this? BTW I enjoy all your tutorials. Your one of my favorites….
The Hexapop II 24" (linked in the description) comes with the grid but just for you Tony I a bit of digging around on the Adorama website and... www.adorama.com/glechp24.html
Fun, informative video Gavin. Question: I'm a beginner who has only done natural light portraits. I have used a reflector, but don't yet have a proper flash. I want to get something that I can use outside for things like HS senior photos, before prom photos, children portraits. Do I need to go with something more powerful than a speedlight for outside? So far, I was looking at two units, the Godox V860 and the AD200 as possible choices. My camera is a Fujifilm X-T3. I am not looking to do this professionally at this point. Only shooting for friends who ask. Thanks for any thoughts you might have....
going on 50 years with a camera stuck to my face and still "learn" something from Gavin almost every video!! You are the man Mr. Hoey!!
I'm not far (in years) behind you Tom and like you I'm still learning from my peers.
@@GavinHoey So says the remarkably talented (and humble) Mr. Hoey, teacher extraordinaire.
The model looks stunning
Gavin. You have the power to take amazing photos in a way we can all learn and repeat in small studios without it feeling like rocket science.

Loved the look from the background light with the gel. Really transformed the image and bought the whole look together.
Thank you, it was almost as if I planned it that way 😋
Very nice presentation!
the flashmeter is the BEST tool.
You are my favorite photographer hands down. You’ve taught me so much!
You are so genius !

Another fantastic tutorial from Gavin and the team,I will definitely be giving this one a go.
Great job modeling from Chloe as always,
Love your videos. Very un-pretentious, totally practical and simple. Thank you.

Clever as always Gavin Hoey!
Like the use of props!

best portrait n video ever by adorama 😍
Another splendid video as always! Keep'm coming.
Thank you for keeping the simple, simple! Great images, styling and overall art Gavin. Please know that you are appreciated and well respected.
Absolutely beautiful images the two of you created.
Beautiful, i wanna try the vintage shoot. thanks Gavin for showing the lighting techniques. 👍
Got that same hexapop 24" speedlight combo, that alone was my good reason to get the 860V3 in addition to the V1 flash.
Always a pleasure to watch you work!
I appreciate the tutorial on speedlights.
I have 3 Phottix Mitros+ lights and find them to be very powerful.
I like the ISO tip!
Appreciate your passion for pics!
Gavin you make it so easy to produce top notch portraits. Always a pleasure to watch .
Loved the colours/styling of al these shots. Chloe's hair and make-up were fabulous, as always. Well done to everyone; images were super.
Hi Alan. We actually got lucky with Chloe's hair colour. She'd just done a job for a popular hair dye brand and by chance it was the perfect match for the look we had planned :)
Always love how you take such a simple setup and make it fun and interesting Gavin. Thank you for this! 😊
Simple is my wheelhouse Brad 😉
Great work Gavin
Thank you
Wow! Am impressed with the lighting technique. It's actually my first time watching your tutorial. Thanks Gavin Hoey and team
Another great video for my "tutorials" collection.
Love your videos, thank you and keep ‘em coming
Sensational images as usual. All the looks are superb but I do rather like the Manfrotto background as it reminds me of those beautiful Oliphant canvas painted backdrops. Well done, thank you.
Thanks for sharing another greate video.
Thank you Gavin!
Thanks Gavin. Always inspiring.
Always learn a lot from your videos. Thanks for sharing
Nice one Gavin. I really loved this work. Time to go try some of this. Thank you 😎👌🏾

Beautfiul set up and images Gavin. Chloe looked lovely as always. Great work mate 😊
Thanks Paul.
Great setup I will get that speedlight bracket. No leak light
Time to get the speed lights out of storage. I have been stuck on studio lights as I didn’t think I could achieve the same results, but Gavin has proven otherwise.
Small but mighty... Go for it Keith 👍
I have studio Big light and this still helped me
Outstanding tutorial.
Thank you
Great job as always.
Awesome video Gavin, as always! Thank you to the whole team.
Great content once again. Cheers from Montreal, Quebec, Canada!

Styling Sherry, it's so important!
Very enjoyable video, nice lighting, great colours.

Great video, as always, and very helpful to take difficult photos with a very simple way!
You rock Gavin!

Great video Gavin
Thanks Kirsty 👍
@@GavinHoey your welcome Gavin
Superb!!!
Ensaio fantástico e super dicas de como usar os flashes TTL, muito obrigado.
Hoey is the best.
Thank you for using speedlights! That's what I have and it's good to know that you can get good results without studio lights.
You're not alone there Susanna. Secret insider tip... almost every studio video I make COULD have been made with speedlights 😉
@@GavinHoey thank you! Good to know. 🙂
You are so so good, Gavin! Come over here to Down Under Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 and do some seminars.
Really do enjoy your videos, I've learned a great deal from them. Also clear to me that you love what you do. MORE PLEASE!
Thanks and here's more... 10 years more! th-cam.com/play/PL821B7D720DEA39FA.html

But thanks for the tip about background light. Its something I was looking for.
I love these tutorials - thank you! What's the 'client monitor' you're using (that the orange lead goes to)? Is it USB or HDMI?
Very useful 👍 thanks a lot
Amazing! ❤

Hi Marts. Both the Flashpoint speedlights also have modelling lights but on the rectangular one the softbox blocks it and on round head the LED is no match for the video lights!
Great video
Curious as to which tablet you are using. The tether cable seems to be going straight into the tablet.
With the table setup, is there a way you can add fill under the models chin?
