Missed the live (again) ... but watching the recording. Lovely to see Sophie back (its been too long) ... she makes the "bad" pictures are gorgeous in their own right
Aww it's okay, good thing VODS are a thing! Like what they say: "while high-quality equipment are important, the beauty of the models or subjects is equally significant as well" ✨
Rarely get the chance to see live but always look forward to a Gav show. Quite a few shows you mention the poor quality of some gels and preference for others - how much of a difference is there between them and how to tell the difference? Also, would love to see some sport style portraits in one of your shows (maybe including coloured smoke), there are others that demonstrate this but your ‘Gav’ style is so much easier to understand with your demonstrations.
The pictures with the Union Jack are fantastic! 🥰 Does Adorama also sell these to Germany or do I have to emigrate to the UK to be allowed to use the flag as a background? 😉
Hi Chris and thanks. No need to emigrate, you can totally use the Union Jack flag at home. All we ask is when you're done with it, simple bring it along to any Germany / England sporting event, wave it in the air and one of us will come and collect it from you 😉If no one see you, please shout "come on England" and I guarantee some will notice 🤣
Correct. My camera is set to record both RAW + Small JPG and both are sent to my laptop via the TetherTools USB-C cable. The software on my laptop is set to only show the JPG images as that has any in camera effects applied.
I'm I think my questions may of got missed. Is it possible to custom make lighting gels by using a printer on to them, and then cutting them? I tried searching for black paper, black vinyl, black fabric, black velvet, black silk, or something else. I don't know which one is best if I want to guarantee a black background?
Sorry for the delay. If you can print on clear film then I guess you could but real filters are heat proof (flashes get super hot!) and durable (the colour doesn't come off when scratched). For black the best fabric is anything with a non-shiny "matt" finish. Felt is great but expensive Jersey is cheap and stretchy, cotton is an OK choice but creases easily.
do you mind if I love her? Gavin maybe you are comfortable this way or you have to hurry but it seems to me you are so stressed rushing the whole video long. I like your explanations and samples from different videos but please CHILL. No need for this anxiety you are good, it's interesting what you do it's enough entertaining itself 😊
Great stuff !!! Thanks. Nice to see Sophie in the Studio !!!
Glad you enjoyed the video and found it interesting! It is great to have her back as she gives us a lot of beautiful shots 😊
THE best lighting tutorial content on TH-cam. Thank you Gavin and team!
Great work, and thank you to Gavin and his team, and of course, to beautiful Sophie. 👍👏👍👏👍👏

Sophie makes all of your shots look fantastic! So glamorous!
Thank you so much for the support! Sophie truly has a knack for bringing that extra touch of glam. We’re lucky to have her on the video! ✨
Brilliant as always. I love my grey fabric background it’s my go to. Really liked the black and white photos ❤
Just want I need. Thanks for sharing. Gavin is wonderful
This was classy!!! Shows a lot that can be done in a small space. Beautiful work 👍🏾
Indeed! Creativity and resourcefulness are often the key in creating good shots despite having a small studio ✨
Great work Gavin and his team.
That was a great video!!! lots of work on your part so thank you!!!!!! gave me some ideas
Thank you! Glad that our video gave you some ideas for your next shoot 📷

Great to see Sophie again after such a long absence!
We’re so happy to have Sophie back too! It’s been a while, but definitely worth the wait for this video! 😊
Just caught up (missed the live because…life). Loved it!
It's okay if you missed our live. Feel free to watch our VODs at anytime ✨
Well, Gavin, you told me to wait for this one and it was worth it. I've got my fix of The Amazing Sophie now!
Thanks Chris and there's still one more pre-recorded video with Sophie to go before then end of the year... stay tuned 😉

Great video using some cheap background fabric props.
Thanks! Proof that creativity can go a long way despite the limited resources ✨
Comme d'hab' très long à démarrer :)
Mais à partir de 30eme minute ça devient super
Merci
Great you have the old intro music back 😀😀
Hi Gavin, could you have used the light Dean offered (57:50) as a small modified fill light to fill the shadows on Sophie's face?
The pictures with the Union Jack are fantastic! 🥰 Does Adorama also sell these to Germany or do I have to emigrate to the UK to be allowed to use the flag as a background? 😉

@@GavinHoey 🤣Should I survive this, will I get a VIP training from you and a 10-year voucher for Adorama?

When you shoot tethered, it looks NOT raw? Love your vids! ❤
Correct. My camera is set to record both RAW + Small JPG and both are sent to my laptop via the TetherTools USB-C cable. The software on my laptop is set to only show the JPG images as that has any in camera effects applied.
Hi Gavin, when you use a GLow Ez Lock Beauty Dish softbox do you leave the Deflector Plate on? Thank you.
Hi Danny. Sorry for the late reply. No, I never use the deflector plates in any of my softboxes.
@ Thank you. 🙏🏻
