Testing Ideas For The Photography Show 2024... LIVE!

After a gap of nearly 18 months The Photography Show (the UK's biggest photo / video expo) is back and I'll be there for all four days. I'll be running two demos a day (10:34 and 3:30 every day) on the Essential Photo / Godox / Pixapro booth using flash and LED lights.
In this live stream I'm going to share my rehearsal process. It's going to be rough around the edges but that's exactly why I trial run my set-ups. Once again the amazing Polly will be my model but to truly test my ideas I already know I'll have to be my own model... what could possibly go wrong!!!
Join me for a catch up chat, ask me anything or just sit back and enjoy the show!

Was at the show today and watched the demo with Chloe in the shiny dress and hood. Great demo and now researching the LED lights.

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks for being there👍

I use a Godox X1R to introduce a Jinbei strobe to the family, but it's said to be able to fire a camera too. It's the sort of thing you need for your self portraits.

Good luck at the show 👍👍👍

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Tim 👍

[@juliobarkan9529]

sorry I missed the live show but watching the video is just as much fun and the smoke machine is fantastic. Thanks Gavin, I love watching other people work and have a good time doing it.

Hi Gavin, the Union Jack being right or wrong way up depends on if the boat the staff is on, is floating or capsized.

[@Heinrich246]

Good morning (day after). I hope to see you on Saturday at the NEC

[@GavinHoey]

See you there 👍

[@bobgamble8204]

Would be good to see some more examples of balancing flash with LED, maybe flash as background with LED as key...

[@DonaldWMeyers-dwm]

[@hetsleb]

Have good show.

[@eddiegremlin]

I predict a lightsabre fight at the end of your sessions, Gavin... see you at the show.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

New rule. Everyone who helps out at the trade show also gets shot for a memento portrait, preferably print.

"Hello" in the comments (from Horley)

hello

[@fizbanofadgefrin]

Hello in the comments

[@lunarcelestialfilms7036]

Hello Gavin, Will you be making a review or comparison between the OM-1 vs the mark 2?

[@lunarcelestialfilms7036]

I have also noticed that when tethering the images don't load with proper resolution, is this what you were referring to that was fixed in the ver 2? tia

[@GavinHoey]

​@@lunarcelestialfilms7036No plans to make a comparison video. Also, I didn't spot any resolution issues but I spot (after the live) that I did have it set to show the imported Raw not JPG.

[@lunarcelestialfilms7036]

Thank you Gavin

Hi team Hi team

[@wellwhatthen10101]

Nope to much hassle LED not enough power for portraits. Makes no difference how much diffusers you use to gave that dreamy look . LEDS have their place and thats for videos snd still life . I use these allday on the sign industry i wold never use them at all for portraits.

[@peterdenyer3002]

Bit harsh for my taste, not as controllable as strobes. Me no likey.

[@GavinHoey]

The harshness is very much down to the light mods IMHO but I do agree about the relative lack of control compared to the flexibility of flash and its superior light output.

[@wellwhatthen10101]

LED has it's place but not for me not in portraits anyway. I install these everyday in the sign industry. My faithful flash much easier to lug around far better power output size ratio. Don't envy you in the show Gavin best of luck.

[@carlhensley1171]

Bit blurry

[@GavinHoey]

Looks good here. Check your playback resolution is set to 1080p 👍

[@bobgamble8204]

Not blurry at all, looks great on phone and tv
