How to Capture Dance Movement | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

- Long exposure photography allows a picture to build up over time. That’s exactly what you want when your subject is moving and you need to show all that movement in a single still photo. This is a surprisingly simple technique that’s perfect for sports portraits or in this case dance photography.
In his small home studio (just 15 feet wide) photographer, Gavin Hoey starts by hanging up a makeshift black background. For lighting, he uses a continuous LED to capture the dancers’ moves during a long exposure. A Flashpoint Xplor400 is then added to freeze the dancer with a burst of flash. The key to making all this work is using a camera setting called slow sync flash, which is also known as 2nd curtain sync flash. Different name, same results.
Luckily Gavin takes you through all of the information you need to recreate this shot at home. By the end of the video, you'll understand how and why combining two very different light types creates such amazing and beautiful dance photos.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I'm not sure if I missed Gavin's explanation, but for those who want to try this, setting your camera/lens to manual focus and focusing on a spot in the room where the dancer will end up, is an effective way to get the flash exposure sharp.
Thank you. I was wondering about that.
Contents like these can make you very grateful for having TH-cam in our time!
Sophie did a great job working within the limits of the room! I can only imagine what she could do with a large space!
Indeed Rhonda. It was a challenge, even for an experienced dancer, to repeat dance moves over and over again in very little room.
That “oops” first curtain sync looked really cool too! I like that you showed this, because it teaches about rear curtain sync, and about how you can even be creative with the first curtain sync as well!
Gavin Hoey, a brilliant photography instructor and the perfect antidote to photographic ruts. Always fun to watch, lucidly explained, and you walk away itching to try out yourself what he's been up to. Great job by Sophie and the studio assistant too. 👍
beautiful effects, a beautiful and talented model :)
When you think you seen every technique, Gavin comes out and shows a new and easier way.
That’s brilliant Gavin, I’ve Been waiting ages for you to do this
Bravo Gavin! AGAIN!
I have to try this!
Absolutely love this
This is a stunning shoot. I can’t say enough, thank you!
Whenever I think your videos cannot get any better, they do.
Absolutely amazing!
Multiple flashes work well too.
This was a really good technical explanation.
Brilliant! Thank you Gavin.

Amazing photos! Gavin, you are THE guy!
Gavin just has a way of simplifying it all. NOW I understand how to do this. He's right though, Seth Miranda is the King of the Shutter Drags for portraits. No photoshopping by Seth, just straight from the camera it's stunning!

Thanks a lot Gavin, for this very well explained tutorial, you are really a great teacher to show how to take pictures a different way. Also thanks to the dancer which did a great job too. Best greetings from Denmark
Best photography tutor in social media.
best demo ever
Brilliant explanation thank you
Teaching and creating fine art pieces at the same time. You’re like a tenth degree black belt who has achieved mastery at levels of knowledge that the rest of us don’t even know exist. You really have outdone yourself with this one, Gavin.
This is fantastic
Yes,thanks so much
I would add that you can use the "BULB" shutter setting so you can control with more precision when to close the shutter,this way your model (dancer) doesn't have to wait for the flash to fire since it will fire as soon as you release the shutter button, and you can release the shutter as soon as she finishes the movement or even capture her in the air.
For those who don't know BULB setting is a "shutter speed setting" where the photographer controls the exact time the shutter is open, when you press the shutter button it opens the shutter and as soon as you release the shutter button it closes. Very useful setting for this type of scenario.
Have you tried it? Does it really work?
Having a remote trigger is useful when doing long exposures so you aren't vibrating the camera holding in the shutter button. Although doing a shot like this, it may not matter.
Hi Gavin!
Thanks for all your videos!
I've got chills seeing the result of that one😍
I hope to try it soon 💪
Thank you so much ! God bless you
I like the orange shawl. :) Gavin you are the best!
Dang.. Finally a video explaining what i wanted to create... brilliant video and explanation.. thank you so much!!
