Gavin Hoey is one of the reason I stick to Adorama channel. He is such a good, innovative and dynamic teacher. Well-done.

[@joejackson9986]

thanks!

[@csc-photo]

Gavin delivers some of the most helpful & practical lighting tips I've ever seen - he really has a way of simplifying and explaining things clearly, and it's never overwhelming. Very thankful for his content here.

I love trying the ideas you guys bring. Thank you to all the photographers on your videos!

[@Boleskinebeatz]

Gavin.. this might just be the best thing I’ve seen you do. Outstanding.

[@sutashiku]

Dear Gavin, thank you for the information as well as for the good mood! Special thanks for the wonderful music of Ian Post. Stanislav from Saint-Petersburg, Russia.

[@mjcz5853]

Great video as always Gavin. Just a question, is that an iPad or an android pad that you’re tethered too? And if so do you have any videos showing how to do that? Thanks

[@DylanRichardson841]

I really enjoyed this video. The clothing was great with the wig. I always enjoy your videos and get ideas from you for shoots that I can do myself. Thank you so much for shearing!

[@rmaier15]

Between your collection of neat props and the props your models bring to each session, I just can't get enough of your videos.

Great job and fantastic photos. Thanks for another valuable lesson Gavin.

[@DavidChiriboga]

Great set up Gavin and love the results with the chandelier and smoke! 👍🏼

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks David. The chandelier came with the studio and was headed to the bin until I saw Charlotte's new wig!

[@DavidChiriboga]

@@GavinHoey Definitely a good prop to keep handy 😉

[@alanroderick7153]

Great to see Charlotte again. Super make-up and hair. And smoke ! Great video, as always - thank you

Hi Alan. Smoke, Charlotte and a giant wig... My perfect day 😁

Eccellente! Sto imparando molto dai tuoi video, sempre chiari ed esaustivi

Always great videos Gavin

[@RonK]

amazing images you created here, especially those with the smoke - thanks for sharing. And, as always - wonderful model.

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Ronny, I do love a bit of smoke 😁

[@rafaelbarbado9145]

Thank you Gavin, great video as always. I didn't see anything about the monitor you use in the products list. Could you tell me something about it? I think it's a very interisting product.

[@GodsSpartan611]

I love your style!

[@alisonsantiago815]

Gavin, I like the video but I do have one question, in the part (7:13) of the video where you add the 12x56 strip box, what is the placement of the light? Is it towards her, "feathered" in front of her, or is is straight to the backdrop? If it's towards her, did you use a warming gel on the light so it can be the same as the LED Chandelier light output? Do you have a light diagram that can show it? Your reply would be greatly appreciated because no matter how much I try, this is the only thing that you have shown that I keep failing to accomplish.

[@250GTOAJ]

Another Great concept demo, Charlotte looks amazing! Thanks Gavin, Charlotte and Sam 👍😀🇨🇦

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Alan. I think Charlotte got a few odd looks on the train coming over but it was worth it!

[@NioTripleX]

Wow! Outstanding!!!! Thank you Gavin for the lesson, this was very creative. Props to all, great team work... Great shots! 🤓📸

[@brad_in_yyc]

Always love seeing your stuff Gavin. And you explain it all so well. Excellent demo!

[@demonsaint1296]

Outstanding!

[@fangbifxx]

Thank you so much! What is the screen you connected with the camera? It look so convenient to show pictures to the model.

[@smickphoto]

You really make this look effortless which I know it isn't 🙌🙌

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Mick. It's like any skill, the more you practice the more effortless it appears (but as you say, sometimes it's not)

Thanks a lot Gavin! I'm a huge fan! Almost all I know about photography i learned from you! Always waiting for the next video!

[@sh8736]

Great video Gavin would have liked to see the model also with candle light. Thought her make up looked a bit too modern to go with the dress and fancy loosing ones over skirt! Was nice to chat with you about gear last Sunday afternoon at the photography show at the NEC too 😍

Lovely results, Gavin and Charlotte!

Fantastic!

[@bugadifino05]

@Gavin - what globes do you have in the Chandelier to get them so bright?

[@davveyr1]

Hi there, wondering what you use for the floor, at the start of the video looks very interesting, kind of a granite finish carpet?

[@Alex_science]

Gavin, as always, AMAZING photos. Fantastic!

So the light coming from the same direction as the chandelier was motivated light, right?

[@TheSunnySuttons]

Awesome as always!!!! 🔥

[@miavonni]

Amazing!!!

[@charleyl264]

Thanks Gavin, and Charlotte. I've considered a smoke generator, but haven't bought one yet.

[@GavinHoey]

With Halloween fast approaching, a smoke machine is surely a must Charley 👻

[@b991228]

How about using duvetyne as flags and background. It really sucks up light leakage.

[@alun7006]

As ever you come up with some amazing stuff. That last setup is so cool! Charlotte's styling is perfect as well. Thanks for showing us!

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Alun. Charlotte smashed it for this shoot! Sometimes I'm just the button pusher 😉

[@swimlilfizhy]

Wait, what happened to the old dark textured wall? Great video as usual.

[@lavapedunordarticlesdevapo8495]

TECHNICAL QUESTION: Very interesting shoot which I'd love to try one day at my small home studio. I was wondering however at the end when you started mixing TUNGSTEN ambiant lightning along 5500K flashes, would it been better if you color corrected the Xplor 300 with a CTO gel to match the chandelier? Thanks!

[@jer3006]

Even the music choice was an inspired element for this shoot. Wow! It had it all: Chandelier, dual-rug wall, bee-hive wig, period wardrobe, and magnificent make-up. You are a magician in a 6' (2 M) space! Then... the inevitable Hoey Smoke Master Machine. No criticism here as I know you love that machine and it is always fun seeing you find ways to include it. Fireplace smoke in Louis XVI's palace, right? Really appreciated the lighting tips you offered in this great video and the gel was a touch of your photo genius. Thank you for making and sharing this shoot. I'm beginning to think your prop closet is larger than your studio!

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks for the really kind comments. As for my props wardrobe, when I moved house the removal guys had some interesting comments as they moved everything from ball gowns to gas masks 😉
