So im going to jump forward and to change your bkgrd, key shift your lights. Do you always shoot at your highest flash sync? I have been shooting since the early 80s. Feathering my lights and using angeling of my rectangle soft box for better light control, much like barndoors, based on HS or 3/4 pose to control shadow fall off on subject. Many need to watch your videos, as they will learn how to control what their outcome will be. Key to your explination is the key shifting of you lights, additive or subtractive lighting creating the shift in ratio. Lastly, you use a meter, and so many just use the camera. Love it. Can you use the light, vert bare bulb?
Love your videos Gav!! They're as informative as they are funny. The models are lovely and awesome. And you're blessed to have your wife and daughter Sam and Freyer to assist you with the tech stuff
Very informative. New to this photo gig thing. I got some coloured cellophane out and wrapped it around a speedlight to play with behind my models, resin statues of a jack russell and a pair of parrots. Now to look for a light stranger.
Great video Gavin and crew! I was unable to watch live but finally got a chance to watch. Your videos, both the live and pre-recorded, are always great, fun and informative! Thank you.
Great session as usual Gavin. Thank you. Any recommendations for colour gels for the AD200 with a bare bulb? Be great to get really soft fall-off but in colour. I know Flashgun do some but they seem pretty expensive.
A suggestion for Sam in reference to viewer questions - Karl Taylor Education (also UK) uses a small light on the table for Emma (the person who does what Sam is doing). When there's a question, Emma simply turns on the small light so Karl can easily see anytime there are questions. When the question has been addressed, she merely turns off the light. Works flawlessly on his You Tube videos. You could try it.
The magic button wouldn't happen to be the power button would it? Love to see Gavin's videos. Always so fun and informative. That was a great catch by the way. Good reflexes.
Many thanks. That was a pleasure to see and very useful for me. I don't have the speace but I want to go with the grey one, some speedlights and gels. And maybe the Light Strainer 2.0. ;)
Hi Gavin, you don’t seem to be a fan of flash overexposure, up to + 1IL1/3 for example, in the studio. You transcribe exactly the same parameters that you choose on your Olympus, on your flashmeter.Why this choice (I often find your model underexposed, for my taste...)? Thank you for your answer and congratulations again for your videos well explained and pleasant to watch.
Hi, Gavin, Can you tell me please. When I use a separation light into the background paper; I get a lot of banding. Is this normal, I camarade settings a generally 1/160 @ f8 and shoot between 24 - 70mm
Gavin is a better host than anybody else.💯👍
A new video of Gavin with Sam and Chloe is always a cause of great joy!
You are a gifted photographer and teacher Gavin. I have leaned so much from you and the Adorama gang! You teach and delight. Chloe is lovely.
Chloe is beautiful in every picture. Good video very educational
,,,love these sessions with Gavin and the 'Gang'! Oh, and I learned something new as well. Thank you, folks.
Thank you Gavin. I have used my light strainer with great effects.
That little light strainer ;-) makes the background look awesome, almost like a hand painted backdrop. Great video Gavin.
Thank you master Gaven.. i am a fan of yours... Thanks for sharing your expertise.. God bless and take care..
I like the effect with the light strainer. I’ll have to make one!
Perfect, thank you!!!
I learn very much about this video. Thanks

Chloe is always lovely, but I dunno what she did for this shoot, but she looks absolutely stunning. 18:35... that smile....

Thank you gavin. Learn so much from you
Great Video, I saw some of it live and had to watch the rest later. Thanks Gavin, Chloe, Sam and Freya! 😎👍🇨🇦
"The Light Strainer" made the feed Abstract, it is a great DIY idea. I use Pringles Crisps tubes as snoots!
Wow !! Amazing images and what a beautiful model ❤
Gavin is the best.
Bare bulb close to the background and pointing to the background, looks nice.
Going to make myself a "light strainer", it made the background look amazing. Thank from here in SW France.
loving the light strainer
Cheers from Haïti never miss a vidéo since 2020
add a smile face to your gear will help the camera focus
Thank you Mr.Gavin🌷
Awesome job- great learning experience!!
yes I am torn between paper and fabric.
After my portrait session last night I think paper is best (but you need to hang it carefully)
Hey Gavin! I'm watching from Arkansas. You've been working out. Looking good mate! 👊

Brilliant as always.
Great video, high learning content, but was wondering is the model on the thumb nail different then the one in video?
excellent
Chloe looks a lot like Natalie Portman :). Another nice fun LIVE video Gavin :).
The magic button wouldn't happen to be the power button would it? Love to see Gavin's videos. Always so fun and informative. That was a great catch by the way. Good reflexes.
Excellent work!
Great as always!
Hi I'm Joy Vinodh from Tamil Nadu India. I'm very happy to hear
Gavin, what colour code is the background, as it looks like it will suit my new studio area.
Awesome session as usual! Thank you!
Always great videos thank you question why an Olympus OM1 and not a Nikon Sony or Canon?
Good morning from Scotland
Great review.
You never disappoint.....Awesome as always!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's very nice time thanks
I did not see in your list the Larger Colored gels for background?
Many thanks. That was a pleasure to see and very useful for me. I don't have the speace but I want to go with the grey one, some speedlights and gels. And maybe the Light Strainer 2.0. ;)
Very informative! Thank you...
Thanks for Sharing your Knowledge ❤️
Love your videos. They give me so much inspiration. Are you going to be at the Birmingham photography show in 2weeks?
