The vanishing point tip is golden, I clone stamp / content aware fill walls and floors a LOT because I also work in a small space and had never seen this technique before! thank you so much!
its rare that I find wisdom vs data in photo tutorials.... thank you! This will be actually helpful in my lil humble 12x12 studio. (photography pro tip... rent band rehearsal space instead of office space, 1/2 the cost and THEN you get to bump the music while working)
Oh wow very nice Gavin Hoey! Thanks for always making videos for those who may have smaller studios, it helps to see what can be achieved and how. Thanks ADORAMA for having someone like Gavin Hoey in your channel showing us how to make the best of all the great gear available at your store and site!
I just knew you were going to poke your eye out with the umbrella handle...but you didn't . That was a great video and an exceptional outcome. Thanks to Adorama for enabling you to share your knowledge.
Great tip re camera at waist level when using wide angle lens. I did experiment with this sometime ago when I was working out nodal point (indoors) mainly for pan pics.
Hi Gavin, Just a quick message to say that I really love all of your content, your delivery method and style are just brilliantt and I've learned so so much from you, can't thank you enough, now that's said I can go back and watch everything again😁
Thanks to the model Chloe for doing such a brilliant job 👍😊❤🏆✨ I`m an enthusiastic hobby photographer and the living room is my "studio" so I`m used shooting in small spaces 😉 For such full length portraits I mount two shoot-through umbrellas on the same light stand, one normal at the top as usual and one in the middle with a clamp. Both speedlites are in the same group and are used, regulated and triggered via radio system as a single speedlite. Depending on the situation, I also use a second such system if I want or need illumination from both sides, this is of course in a different group. The zoom of the speedlites are always set to 35mm and the dissusor caps are on their heads when I use them with umbrellas or soft boxes to avoid a hot spot in the middle. In order to avoid complicated post-processing, which I always try, I hide the wall and floor with a sufficiently dimensioned matt white or other colors I like background fabric that I buy as an inexpensive remaining stock in decoration shops.
You mad genius. You don't know how many different ways and vountless hours I've spent trying to clone in a floor underneath someone to extend a backdrop that is only 6 foot max height and doesn't reach below a client's feet. I did not know this was possible and it is going to be a huge boom to my editing. I also work in a small space. This has been beyond helpful
Super glad to hear that. You probably don't want to know that the Vanishing Point tool has been around for a very VERY long time! th-cam.com/video/0DGDnVk1jF4/w-d-xo.html
@@GavinHoey I am trying to remember if we ever touched on it in my college photography courses. I can't recall if we did. But ever since lightroom came out I have always prioritized lightroom and photoshop was for the heavy duty fixes!
@@ShadowHeartsFlight07 I hear that a lot but Photoshop is just another tool. Lighroom is excellent at what it does but what it does isn't always what you need to do.
Love that umbrella (still don't have one though). Gavin, do you have a video on your tethering set up? Would love to know everything about this small and practical iPad or tablet based system. Thanks!
What i love with Gavin is that his photos doesn't necessarily look like Karl Taylor/super professional shot them. That's not the point. However he gives you the basics to learn and than do your own version of it! I hate when you watch a tutorial and the end result is more like Karl Taylor! This video was perfect for me since I'm moving in to my own place and plan on having a staionary studio in the livingroom.
In Photoshop you can easily draw a straight line with your brush. On Mac it is Holding the command key and tip the Point where the line should go On Windows it is Strg Pick one Place by clicking it and then hold the key Strg/Command and then Click the other Point.
Está hablando sobre curso de sacar fotos que hermoso su vestido y el color muy llamativo en rojo muy bello y tiene movimientos simétricos etc. Excelente
First time watcher of Gavin Hoey. I liked this video because it reminded me of shooting in my living room and the challenges of moving furniture and the walls being slightly glossy instead of a clean smooth studio wall. The placement of radiators and outlets in my house always gets in the way. Plus I have carpet that gets in the way instead of hardwood floor. I'm going to try the perspective view change, and I'm going to have to look into tethering to an ipad
Using Vanishing Point is great advice, thanks! Shooting in a small space is OK, but height constraints are my biggest issue - with a low ceiling, a larger modifier is really hard to use effectively to give 'interesting' light. I do find that reflection off a low, white-painted ceiling can work well though - have you used this approach, Gavin?
My wife and I really learned a lot in your systematic introduction for her plan on shooting portrait-full-length high artwork. This material is amazing tutorial to us. Great thanks!
I SO love this man and what he does. Explains his work flow easily qnd explains why something would and would not work and how to overcome it. Thanks so much, Gavin!! We so appreciate you more than you would ever know. (Huie Dinwiddie-Bay Area, California, USA)
I'm late, but wondering if rotating the umbrella 90 degrees would give you more even vertical coverage head-to-toe across Chloe? Or do you need it horizontal to spread light evenly across the background?
Like always, not a single second wasted 🥰. A few questions: What is the difference in the light produced by umbrella vs softbox? How do I make a decision when to use one or the other and would a 60" softbox at the same distance give the same results.
I have been a big fan for years, and used countless ideas if yours in my own photography, but I was grimacing over the unprotected end of the steel umbrella rod being exactly at your eye level...OUCH! :-)
Amazing shots. Great tip on use of wide angle lens and, how satisfying to see model take picture of your picture? You make everything seem so simple. Sign of a pro 👍 great work
Thanks Dave. When an experienced model asks for a copy of the image, then you know it's a good shot. But when they just can't wait and take a snap of your screen... that's another level!
Wow Gavin, this video is amazing! Thanks for it :-) Love all your videos since years. Which kind of umbrella do you use? Could you give me a link to it? Best wishes from Germany.
The vanishing point tip is golden, I clone stamp / content aware fill walls and floors a LOT because I also work in a small space and had never seen this technique before! thank you so much!
I know, right? Brilliant!!!!!!
Gavin Hoey is such a badass... Unpretentious. Simple. Low-cost. Great results. Shows you that it can be done. I appreciate him.
Wow loved the photos where she was playing with her dress !!
Gavin hoey us just, The Man. Plain and simple.
Love the smile as she took a photo of the screen. She was truly happy with what she saw.
its rare that I find wisdom vs data in photo tutorials.... thank you! This will be actually helpful in my lil humble 12x12 studio. (photography pro tip... rent band rehearsal space instead of office space, 1/2 the cost and THEN you get to bump the music while working)
That dress! That Chloe! Some really nice results. And, I had not known about the perspective tool.Nice trick. Thanks.
Never knew about the even plane tool and my mind is blown. Thanks!!!!
It's been around for a long time but really is an unsung hero in Photoshop.
Always the best videos on youtube very simple techniques with great results... Gavin Hoey thaks for your great job....

Thanks Alexander. I consider myself super lucky to be part of the Adorama team.
so this is at LEAST my 3rd time watching. i dont get to put your techniques into practice so i tend to forget what you did. love your work
As usual I learned a few things. And spent some money. That wide umbrella works great in my low ceiling, narrow studio. Thanks.
I just knew you were going to poke your eye out with the umbrella handle...but you didn't . That was a great video and an exceptional outcome. Thanks to Adorama for enabling you to share your knowledge.
I put a ping pong ball on my umbrella ends for this reason!
Inspiring and helpful as allways, Thankx !
Thanks for the beautiful video, I learned about lightning and camera angle for a full length shot.
Great tip re camera at waist level when using wide angle lens. I did experiment with this sometime ago when I was working out nodal point (indoors) mainly for pan pics.
I always appreciate the simplicity of your approach, Gavin. Thank you.
Great video as always Gavin and Chloe looked amazing!
Thanks Dee 👍
Gavin you're such a brilliant person so generous really appreciate it

Yes - enjoyed that Gavin. Nice images, lovely model. I hope you feel better 😀
Gavin makes me smile.
thanks for the tips! I like your energy! Very enjoyed your vidéo! :)
Gavin works his magic again in his small home studio. Nice work! Love the photoshop tutorial. LOVE Adorama!

Chloe + Gavin = beautiful.
Thank you for the video Gavin. Take care, and may you get well soon.

It was so helpful. Thank you very much
Very very clear and essential! Thank you!
Always a treat to learn from your enthusiasm and problem solving!

I love your show and details how to make a great picture
Huge knowledge packed in one video!
Thanks for sharing
I enjoyed this. Another great video. I'm glad you are feeling better.
Thanks Patty. My voice had pretty much gone by the end of the shoot! All back to normal now 👍
Excellent as always ! Thankx .......
Thanks for introducing me to the perspective plane technique - something that I will really use to improve some of my shots.
I'm super glad to hear that helps Rick. Thanks for the comment 👍
Que linda modelo parece están en sección de fotos platicando sin duda esta hablando sobre cómo se deben realizar la calidad de fotos
An amazing amount of great content in a short clip. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful run through the details. Thank you for sharing. The photoshop tutorial was especially helpful with the cloning
I'm glad it helped Taylor 👍
thanks, very very usefull video; all the necessary information, no waste of time, very good job ... thanks :D
Outstanding tutorial. Thank you!
The amount of information I learned in this 9 min video is golden. Thanks for these gems!
Great video. Finally, learned how to properly use the vanishing tool. THANK YOU!!
this video helped a lot. thank you.
Excellent Gavin. I loved the use of the Vanishing Point!
Hi David. Vanishing point is a tool I've used for well over a decade but it seems to have gone under a lot of photographers radars!
Brilliant as always Gavin, thank you so much 😊
Thanks for the kind words Garry 👍

I loved it nice man do you mind making a video about how to works and configurations of flashes and lights
Blowing hair and fabric at the same time is quite difficult to get right, but you did well with this one. Thanks.
Great shoot. That work on the floor was amazing!
Always great tutorials.

I loved the outcome Gavin. Beautiful shot.
Thanks Brad 👍

Take care! All the best from Canada!
Another great photographic perspective from Gavin! Thanks Gavin, Chloe, and Sam! Happy Holidays to you all!

Could watch your videos all day.
Your energy is a blessing in these pandemic times... Thanks for the tutorial also. 😀
Thanks Felix 👍
This is really good content!
I always enjoy your videos.
Greetings from SURINAME, South America. 👍👊💛
I got a lot of knowledge. Thank you, sir.
Another great video Gavin. Loved the final image 😊👍
Thanks Paul 👍
Great video, just simple to understand. The breathtaking Chloe and some very groovy lights! Hope you feel better very soon Gavin :)
⭐x5. So good and helpful for small studio shooters! Thank you.
My favorite channel.
great video shows how not to do it then a better way and how to improve the photo after wards
Never fails to inspire. Really proves that you don't need much to create master pieces.
I checked one hour ago and thought it would be nice ... and here it is, as always a great pleasure watching it. Thanks a lot Gavin!
Brilliant as always Gavin. I love that you come up with solutions to every obstacle 👍
Thanks for the kind words 👍
A great video as suspected. Thanks for the inspiration.
Excellent video and a super shot to finish the session !
Thanks Alan. I was a relief to see that last shot pop on to the screen. It was also the perfect place to stop and get a nice cuppa Lemsip 🤒
useful tips. thank you
I'm late, but wondering if rotating the umbrella 90 degrees would give you more even vertical coverage head-to-toe across Chloe? Or do you need it horizontal to spread light evenly across the background?

A few questions:
What is the difference in the light produced by umbrella vs softbox? How do I make a decision when to use one or the other and would a 60" softbox at the same distance give the same results.
Love the tip about the vanishing point filter; will definitely use that on a couple of images.
Thank you for this fantastic tips sir
absolutely spot on and great tutorial.. Hope you feel better soon Gavin. Thank you.
Thanks. I'm back to full fitness again 😁
This was so much fun and thanks for explaining the beveling effect a wide lens has in a small space.
Thanks Gavin.
Great tutorial again :)
I have been a big fan for years, and used countless ideas if yours in my own photography, but I was grimacing over the unprotected end of the steel umbrella rod being exactly at your eye level...OUCH! :-)
This was excellent as usual. I really enjoy your tutorials so much!

Very nice ! Get well soon!
