Shallow Depth Of Field Portraits | LIVE with Gavin Hoey
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มี.ค. 2023
- One of the easiest ways to separate your subject from the background is by using a shallow depth of field. A portrait with a blurry background not only looks great but adds a sense of depth to your photo and it’s an effect that’s very achievable in a small home studio.
In this live-streamed photo session, Gavin Hoey will take you through some of his favorite ways to take portraits with a shallow depth of field. He’ll be working with continuous LED lights and small studio flashes to create the images and will discuss the best camera settings for both types of light.
Gavin will squeeze as many real-world DOF (depth of field) tips and tricks as he can into an hour. Join the conversation, get your questions answered live, and help steer the session… or just watch along and enjoy.

Especially loved the last section of this one! Cheers :)
Your an excellent teacher, you make learning fun :)
Gavin is always a treat to listen, funny, relevent, creative and I learn so much. Thank you!
Gavin is the best instructor. Starts with a basic idea and we get to build to the final image with alternatives thrown in for good measure.
Thanks for the kind words Todd 👍
Thanks for mentioning about the differences in how the backgrounds are printed (in focus or out of focus).
Another great live round, and as always I learned a lot regarding shallow depth of field. I applaud you and your staff.
Always a treat to catch up with the Adorama streams, everyday is a learning day.... and great to have the lovely Chloe modelling :-)
As always Gavin. Excellent!
Fantastic show, couldn't make live but just watched recording, The black and whites were amazing. two backgrounds close together at the end was inspired. amazing model delivers every time for you. learnt a lot. thanks
Fantastic…As always you break things down that with such precision by showcasing the different tactics and approaches

Gavin, I always learn something, as your more that just a photographer, your an artist, and great educator. Thanks for sharing.
Simply sublime (as always) !
Excellent work by all the 'Team' as always 👏👏👏

Great talented model; participating to the photographer exploration; using simple materials helps at the same time, the dynamism of the focale (F1,7, example). Excellent work!! Great teaching, I'm learning!!
ONE DAY ill catch you live and not just on the recording. you really ARE one of the greatest teachers and of course Chloe is just always beautiful. i CANT subscribe to Adorama because i dont want to watch the other guys. youre the best so why waste time with the rest, is my manra. i still would like to come across the pond and do an internship with you and your team of models. thanks Freya and Sam for youre great professional support!

Great video as always and Hello from Deep East Texas.
Thanks, your doing a great work. I love your presentation style
Thanks Charles ☺
i like this!
I absolutely love these shows, even though I wasn’t able to watch live unfortunately, day to day job came into the way 😉. So much information yet still so funny to watch, which makes watching them a pleasure. You guys really make a great team 😊
Thanks Ralf, there were actual tears of laughter behind the camera!
@@GavinHoey and that’s exactly how it should be, shouldn’t it? Fun and light yet at the same time productive.
Hi Gavin! Great to see you live. Although I never thought you were dead, you get to work with some beautiful models.
Thank you!!
I love Gavin Hoey videos in this video love to use continues light my family bought me this thanks giving 3 led light 200,150,150 watts. Please Please please make a video on how to use continues light for high key ligh portrait using led lights.
Bring Gavin in every videos❤️❤️
love your videos
Love those B&W photos :)
Great video!
Chloe is my favourite model🤗
Very nice idea and concept sir
Gavin. Fantastic work again. Love learning from you. Would love to know about one 2 one or master class pricing.
Great stuff
Hello from Toronto! CANADA
Excellent as always. My timeworn DSLR doesn't have Eye Detection, but with Face Detection enabled in AF-S mode it correctly focuses on the subject's eyes for the majority of shots. I'd love a Z9 but it'd probably be cheaper to undergo eye surgery!
Thank you:)
Hello from Texas!
Thanks!
Thank you
Love the tutorial, I did feel bad for Chloe when you were at 100% with your Forza 60c, models always tell me it's eye blinding.
Thank you Gavin...! First time I've been mentioned in a video, even if it was indirectly! Swedish Light Strainer !!!
Yay Mike 😁
@@GavinHoey 👍📸
Gavin and team, very informative video. Thanks. Lots of new ideas to try out. A question, when you are taking close up portraits why don’t you use the camera in portrait mode/ vertical?
Great video Gavin thanks for sharing 👍 🎉 shutter, Apiture,exposure
Thanks Kirsty 📷
@@GavinHoey your welcome
Hello all, Corpus Christi Texas here.
Hello from
chicago Il.
The fourth power in Depth of Field (DoF) is called Circle of Confusion (CoC). It combines: film/sensor resolution, lens resolution, processing, image size, distance at which the image is looked at.
Changes in CoC have a big impact on DoF.
A sharp 1.4 can have less DoF than a soft 1.2.
Bad processing - reduced sharpness - means more DoF because bigger CoC.
Gavin - I'm working through all your videos one by one - great stuff thank you. Do you ever work with make models? I'd love to see you change it up - any differences in your approach?
hi Gavin .... im from south africa
Chloe has beautiful long hair. It''s usually braided or held back.
Hello from sunny Selsey :)
Hello, Shirley from SA
Hello from Alan in Spain (Heating? It's been 28 degrees today)
Couldn't make it yesterday but watched it today. Great as always! Thank you so much for your passion and inspiration!
One question: How much time does it need to prepare such a live video and a regular 12-15 min video? I guess you try it all at least once before you record?
Thanks a million, Peter.
Hi Peter. Prep time varies but one thing is constant... They always take much, MUCH longer to create then most viewers realise. From concept to planning, filming to editing there so many unseen parts to a recorded video. Luckily or unluckily editing isn't required on a live stream 😉
Choke is very beautiful
Thanks again for a very nice and inspiring session Gavin. It is like Chloe said - you certainly have that positive, funny vibe. Those B&W shots were gorgeous. As for the colour shots, I think there was a slight difference in quality using LED and Flash. If you look at the close up @ 9:15 it is an clear difference above and below Chloe's cheek bones, both for details and colours. When using the flash, both colours and details were much more harmonic, as the close up @ 35:10 shows. The latter looks much more flattering. Maybe I am missing something here or does this have a logical explanation?
I really would love to catch your live session while they actually are live, but Thursdays are difficult for me. Have you considered changing the days for your live sessions?
Thanks also to Chloe - brilliant as always - and to Sam and Freya who has full control of the technical parts
As usual, great tutorial from the Master. Question? Will you be preparing a tutorial on Mum & child, preferably toddler. More than one in photo? Thank you for all your lessons.
No plans on that one from me Barky (not had much recent experience in family portraits) but keep watch Adorama TV as you never know.
Thanks for the helpful video! What tripod are you using?
Hello there! Jeroen from Holland
hi from Deshraj Thakur, Gungun the Wedding Photographers
Bello my friends I am From sonora México
Texas
Great show as usual, how about an idea to ponder, most households have pets but very few TH-cam photographers give advice on how to get the best photos. 👍
Pet photography is all the hard parts of people photography with sack loads of extra stress thrown in! Not my skill set unfortunately.
I thought that's what you'd say, it would have been so funny.
Hello From Nepal
Very funny, Oliver
Gavin, I believe you did a video where you added skirting (a baseboard) to a photo in Photoshop. I'd be grateful if you could point me to it.
'I'm just the button pusher'... you just gave me my company name Gavin... Button Pusher Photography
Glad I could help Martin 👍

Sorry I missed this
What are you using for the dark flooring?
Enjoyed the video (I missed the livestream by an hour because I was working (Yakima, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest). I have a question for you, Gavin: Did you ever have "Raw to the Core" merch, and if so, is it still available?
We did do "RAW to the Core" T-Shirts a long, LONG time ago. I think the only ones that never sold were XS size and probably went into the clothes bank when we moved house a few years back.
