Home Studio Essentials | LIVE with Gavin Hoey

[@rigidsparx]

Everytime i get over my crush on Sophie, you bring her back in your videos to get my heart pumping fast once again. 😊 . Awesome video as usual Gav!!

[@jeffnewman8261]

Sophie was extra amazing today! That was a good tip Gavin about taking a wide photo to show where the light from the flash is hitting the reflector.

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Jeff, simple tip that but oh so educational 😊

[@andy1or2]

Gavin Hoey is a master instructor and all around fun guy to learn from..Sophie is a genuinely natural beautiful model too.

[@vulcan1623]

Always educational and well done Gavin - and Sophie is a fantastic model! :)

Perfect, double win 😊

[@Hecalledme1]

[@JamesSmith-sr2we]

Thank you for sharing your experience over years, you're the man Gavin. James from South Carolina USA

[@hawg427]

Great video guys. Sophie is just a natural poser, she knows the right pose to hit and uses her hands very well. This just proves you can do a photoshoot in your living room without a ton of space.I especially loved the low key shots of Sophie at the beginning when you started feathering the light.

[@happymystic9800]

The photography dream team did it again ❤❤❤ … so much to learn from this video, especially about the capabilities of a grid. Looking forward to the next video. 👍👍👍

[@GavinHoey]

Grids are sooooo important IMHO so I'm glad to hear that comes across 😀

[@brianbudd803]

Thanks so much for this video. I have a photo shoot coming up with a race horse in a small stable. The lessons I learned here will transfer nicely to my situation. Thanks again, keep up the great work.

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Brian. Animals and small spaces... you're a braver photographer than me. Crossing my fingers for you.

[@kutlayhalkseven3296]

Hello from North Cyprus 📷 I love Gavin Hoey programs..Always great work 👌

[@jocliff7387]

Many thanks ...always something to learn.

[@kirstyhepworth7343]

Great video Gavin and thankyou for explaining your settings and also thanks for the awesome tips too.

[@GavinHoey]

You're always welcome Kirsty. Thank you for watching 👍

[@kirstyhepworth7343]

@@GavinHoey your most very welcome 🙏 Gavin as always 😊

[@vernonr7404]

Thank you. Biggest tip for me was the suggestion to ask the model to turn, look toward the modifier until they see the liner inside the softbox - in order to insure a catchlight in the eyes. Everyone says how important catchlights are. Meanwhile, Sophie should post her video on how she creates those mesmerizing facial expressions. Or maybe she really doesn't know - just confidence that comes with lots of practice and experience.

[@jjqj7323]

Ahhhh I missed the exclusive sale...please bring it back!!

[@kenmccoll348]

Hi Sarah, probably the main reason I avidly follow and look forward to your vids is the personal aspect. By that I mean you graciously invite us into your life which is an absolute delight... it's the narrative I love as well as the wonderful images.❤

[@seaeagles6025]

Hi Gavin, i'm always interested in Flash photography and i always pick up good tips from this Channel. Thanks for sharing. 😃

[@tintin69rr]

Doh I never thought about just using the modelling lamp when I was practicing with a 3 strobe set up I got off eBay I’m just getting back into studio photography shooting my granddaughter so got little set up and trying to shoot almost wide open so I ended up using a variable nd to get the right balance Love the effect of the grid as well will get couple a them for my soft boxes great video 👍👍👍

[@RevoincMultimedia]

Thank you. Really learnt a lot. Gavin is a great guy. Amazing and funny and he makes every lesson enjoyable

[@luisgalicia5847]

Excelente Gavin, gracias

[@kongchang1]

Great job! Gavin and gang👍

[@DonaldWMeyers-dwm]

I still say the Light Strainer, the Paniel and the Brooklyn Reflector should be marketed as a package deal.

[@jerrydenham1466]

Gavin I used the opportunity to take advantage of one of the Adorama deals on the Flashpoint XPLOR 300 Pro kit. Absolutely love it as well as the 24" Hexapop that came with it. Thank you and to Adorama for the savings.

[@bringbacktheeighties]

Hey Gavin, should I point my light meter towards the light or towards the camera. Thank you. I always love your videos

Could not make the Live. Super video and congrats to all the Gang for an excellent video. The B&W of Sophie were superb !

[@HouseofReason78]

What a gorgeous shot on the thumbnail

[@geraldinebryce594]

Loved this thank you . Brilliant as always 👏👏

[@charlesstephens5974]

Brilliant overview, can you comment on using the two collapsible backgrounds ie one on the b/g and one on the floor. I find the intersection of the floor and b/g distracting how would you deal with that ie PS?

[@MihaiGiurgeanu]

Very helpful. Thanks a lot!

[@marcorosa692]

I'm watching afer the live transmission, from Curitiba - Brazil.

[@colanhanh6923]

Level! Great, excellent, wonderfull! Thank you very much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@MikeThomasMusic]

Great video! Lots of tips and tricks I never thought of utilizing - even after 30 years of being a photog. I guess old dogs (like me) can still learn new tricks 😂. Thanks for all your efforts and knowledge sharing. And kudos to Sophie and your crew as well 👍👍👍

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Mike. Only 30 years? You're just getting started. I've got a few more years on you and I'm still learning all the time 😉

[@tmewborn1]

Excellent Thank you I learned a lot

[@borisgutbrod8685]

In Asia you can buy lead diving weights pretty cheap to put in "sandbags". Gravel here would be very dirty

[@delhunter7530]

Sorry I couldn't watch it live Sir Gavin, but you know I couldn't wait to see it today. Again, 100% and two thumbs up from me, always a learning experience. Well done the Hoey team, when are you going to do some workshops again PLEASE????

[@GavinHoey]

It's Del!!!!! I'd love to get back to doing some workshops. Sam and I keep talking about the but life/work seems to get in the way 😢

great Video nice explained.. the model 1+ i love the eyes!

[@kevinwhite6176]

One of the things I don't see a lot is how these spaces are small with the length and width, however Gavin's studio space there has a very high ceiling. Having a low ceiling can add additional constraints - trying to do a full body portrait with a low ceiling will leave you banging your softbox against the ceiling. I'd like to see some 'low ceiling' tips.

[@GavinHoey]

Ceiling height here is 7'10", not low but certainly not high. As I said in the live stream, I'd swap floor space for ceiling height any day!

[@MrNaveedmoscow]

Thanks 😊

[@tedsmith_photography]

Thanks Gavin - always a great tutor. This was a super and engaging session (watched post live stream).

Good afternoon Gavin, Sam, Freya, and whoever your model is from Southern Maryland in the US.

[@Derigger1970]

just wondering if Gavin has seen the 3d printed Bowen's mount light strainer that someone made and people can download and print for themselves. works awesome.

[@bonnierovere7157]

Thank you!!

I'd love to have watched this live and to post live comments, but here in South Eastern Australia it was scheduled for 4am in the morning while it's still dark outside, cold and wet...

Just watching this now and sadly the coupon doesn't work any more. Will it be reissued?

[@antoniocaruso2227]

Hi, what type of monitor do you use when you shoot in the studio?

[@GavinHoey]

I use a Windows laptop or tablet (such as my Lenovo Miix 2 in 1 Laptop /Tablet)

[@antoniocaruso2227]

Thank you@@GavinHoey

[@charleyl264]

Thanks Gavin

[@jonathanwilkerson1287]

Do you recommend a wireless tethering system so I don’t trip

Hi, from Australia

[@chartersclose]

Please after some advice, Ive got a Bowens xmt500 battery strobe, If i set my D850 to M 1/250th sec (FP) and ISO 100. and the aperture to F8 The flash is set to Manual. Without the flash the image is black, however even with the flash at full power the image is still black. The only way i can get any light even then its under exposed is to set the shutter to 1/60th. Ive checked the obvious no bracketing set etc no exposure compensation etc. Ive tried it with my D4 and its exactly the same. Any pointers?

[@shawketyalda7009]

I can get the same photos with sled flash by mounting them on soft boxes

[@robertkeating1107]

Hi Gavin, do you have any Adorama deals running currently (Oct 2024)?

[@legary2007]

My answer to question about no shoes: No need for full-lengths. Unless I HAVE to get a full-length, they don't need shoes. I, and most of my clients, prefer closer images anyway.😊
