How to shoot Ice Cold Portraits in Studio | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

[@charlestevo]

super creative and fun shoot.

[@peter_shadow7559]

Straight to the point. Theory and practice of lighting. Photoshop tutorial. What more could you want? Thanks gavin

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Peter 👍

[@1vegasdood]

Man, I luv your tut's Gavin....so creative....I would mostly declare I would NEVER pay to do a workshop, but, if you offered those I would. You break everything down so simply without a bunch of unnecessary chatter.

[@burkantorun]

It is incredible how much you can teach in a 12-minute video Gavin. 👏

[@winni223]

Now that Gavin's cold has gone it's time to make some frosty (and timely) shots. I just wonder how inventive Gavin is!

[@ernie28ernie]

I fell in love with the photo at 8:36

[@clynshotimages]

Brilliant statement with Who is the oldest. Not the background but you. That's almost like irony Gavin. Thanks for hasting this brilliant techinique

[@EugeneMaynard]

I love your creativity! Less is more exemplified!👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾

[@sanjagani]

Gavin, thank you for your valuable lessons. You make the art of photography matter and not the equipment we own.

[@mtcrun]

Love how you break things down so simply and it makes me realize how a stepwise approach to my portraiture will help me to learn and improve. Thank you again Gavin and, of course, Chloe.

Window is genius!

Gavin is the best! Love his creativity. 👍🏻

[@salvamando1]

Wow, this was super awesome! Thank you for sharing your creativity for us!

[@franciscodeassisdacosta2503]

Nâo tem como não ser fã... cada vez o cara nos traz algo melhor que o outro!! Sensacional.

[@AnVoPhotography]

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks a lot.

[@SDA0271]

Gavin crushes it again!

[@deenugent473]

It's amazing how many ideas you can come up with Gavin! I look forward to your videos all the time. Too bad, it's not a weekly 😁

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Dee. 9 years in and still plenty more ideas to go!

[@MizMahogony28]

Yes I literally have my calendar set to every other Thursday for these by Gavin specifically. Has made me a much better photographer.

[@deenugent473]

@@GavinHoey I am happy to hear that! Looking forward to more of your amazing ideas Gavin.

[@GavinHoey]

@@MizMahogony28 2022 dates are all set and (spoiler alert) there might even be a few very special extra Thursdays 😉

[@ShadowlightPhotography]

@@GavinHoey We need more Gav, hopefully not an ignorant question considering how long you've been going but do you ever do workshops?

[@teleking58]

Wonderful stuff Gavin! Excellent make up Chloe! And well done Sam!! I love how crafty and inventive Sam is with her props and styling. Her work really makes a huge difference to how the final images look!

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Robbie. Totally agree. Even the most simple portrait shoot benefits from a bit of styling, something that's all to often overlooked.

[@pathogan4854]

Gavin your a genius and fairplay to Sams DIY . Im sure Chloe was glad you didnt throw her into the freezer for this shoot ! stunning results. The candle works great to add that little warmth to emphasis the cold ! Fairplay all involved ! I wish you all a very happy christmas. best regards Pat.

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Pat. The Candle photo's came out so much better then I thought. I have to give full credit to Sam for that idea 🕯️

[@hajmanek]

Great video, very inspiring. I remember a few years ago I did winter photos in my garden on a sunny day with smoke and plenty of flour, but the idea with frosty glass is great. Thanks again.

[@dunnymonster]

There's no end to your creative ideas Gavin. Another cracking tutorial 👍

[@LucasPitcher13]

On point as always - and thanks for those frosty frames!

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Lucas and have fun with the frosty frames ❄️

[@cmptrman]

Thanks for the freebie Gavin!! At first I was kinda critical (to myself, of course) of you doing the color toning in-camera because I didn't see why you wouldn't want to adjust the tones in post to be the way you wanted them. But if you're shooting RAW, you can still do that if you wanted to, plus there's something so satisfying and cool about seeing how much you can actually get exactly the way you want in-camera. Great episode!

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Daniel. You're spot on about the RAW re-editing option but I usually find getting it close in camera helps everyone on set visualise the final effect and that is a HUGE help!

[@jumbojayHTX]

Amazing. Never had a youtube video make me feel the way this one did.

[@hawg427]

I learned the old fashioned way using a Main, a fill, a hair light and a background light. I don't see many people use a background light anymore. While I love using a Big soft box and a V-Flat or another kind of fill the old way still has it's place. Thank you for restoring my faith in the Old School way :-) Great video Gavin.

[@GavinHoey]

Three point lighting was where I started out ☺

[@ianlewer2328]

Absolutely stunning.

Go for it Carla. Good luck.

[@stephenmuller5098]

Excellent again, all of you. Great team effort, love the poses as much as the lighting.

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Stephen. It's not easy posing with in a tiny window and even harder when you have to hold the frame and model! Chloe was amazing!

[@steinsvideos3997]

Well done, truly inspiring!

[@themuzzuk]

You are so talented Gavin. Love your videos.

Masterful !! Thanks so much!!

[@christyhill5728]

Loved the step by step of showing what each light does. What is your tether set up?

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Christy. I'm using a TetherTools USB-2 cable to connect my Olympus camera to my Lenovo 2 in 1 Laptop. That runs Windows 10 and Olympus Capture takes care of the tethering. All very simple but also super reliable.

[@robdlain9145]

Love this video. Thanks Gavin and Happy Holidays.

Yet another really good video from Gavin and I will download the PS mask, many thanks Gavin

[@PhillipW12]

Top setup as ever

[@jer3006]

Another great photo adventure, reminiscent of the "rainy day while you stay dry in the studio shoot!" Very inventive - kudos to Sam and Chloe for set design and makeup. Downloaded your textures plus the bkgds for flower images and signed up for your newsletter; don't know how I overlooked that before. All in all, a significant day in the life of this learning photographer thanks to you. Your videos are always the finest of KZbin photographers. ⭐x5

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks for the kind words. Enjoy the textures / backgrounds 👍

[@richardlynch892]

I really Enjoy your creativity and look forward to your videos. Thank you !!

[@anjanakkw]

all your videos are amazing 👏. thank you very much for these nice ideas . also the photoshop tips. what is the screen you use for tethering please?

[@nunocarneiro464]

That background looks great

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks, it was made for this video back in 2019 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHLEl4Wvltllm5Y

[@marianmoscaliuc4522]

Great like always Gavin !!!! Cheers from Italy !!!

[@andymcgarty3099]

REally good video. Great to see the same effect in studio and in post production.

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Andy. Usually I find either getting the effect in camera or in post works best. But this time I actually couldn't call it!

[@justcallmesando]

Gorgeous!

[@shinychariotdetailing9707]

Brilliant video Gavin really loved the look of these.

[@eileenzphotography]

Thanks Venus, it was a lot of fun to shoot!

[@JackySchoonbaert]

Great idea Gavin. Thanks for this video!

[@GavinHoey]

You're welcome Jacky 👍

[@skillcubator1]

@GavinHoey What's the purpose of taking the test shot to check if there is no ambient light falling on the subject?

[@epulleerr]

Great inspiration!

[@MarkNF1]

Another great and creative video. Thank you. Instead of scraping off the "ice" which has a permanent effect, could you have put the window on a separate layer and used either a brush or mask to do the same thing?

[@GavinHoey]

You absolutely could. To keep it looking organic and "real" would need a bit of time with the brush but if it works, it works!

[@alun7006]

Good stuff! Thanks as always, Gavin. 😁

[@vivianejubran9605]

SUper video ! Well done to all three of you. Really liked the frosted eye-lashes. Enjoy the Holidays !

Hi Alan. That was all down to Chloe. She's a brilliant model and self taught MUA. Hopefully you'll see more of Chloe (maybe even in person) during 2022!

[@Slaptiback]

Gavin, could you let us know how you have hooked up the camera to the screen to your left in the studio? Thanks

Hi Jon. I'm using a TetherTools USB-2 cable to connect my Olympus camera to my Lenovo 2 in 1 Laptop. That runs Windows 10 and Olympus Capture takes care of the tethering. I hope that helps.

[@careylee5951]

So wicked!

[@jesuscosme1965]

love to see you work you're magic you are the G.O.A.T in these genius creations! may i ask are you tethering to an ipad ?

[@susierostad9239]

Gavin you're the BEST teacher I've come across! Love this idea. I redid an image from one of your tutorials and it literally turned out just like you taught. I wish I could show you. I may try this one but how in the world did she get her makeup to be frosty like that? Also what are you tethered to on the side? Is it an iPad or tablet? Would love to add that tethering option to my studio but would love your input on what works best. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Susie. Super happy to hear you got some great results following along, that's exactly why I make these. I can't help with the make-up (that was all down to the amazing Chloe) but the tablet is my Lenovo Miix. It's a Windows 19 powered 2 in 1 laptop/tablet and I run Olympus Capture software to power the tethering.

[@susierostad9239]
