Two Portraits, One Light

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for keeping the old videoes alive.

[@MrJun909]

Not only are you clear and concise, but it's your tone of voice. Very pleasant and your demeanor is very relatable. The way you acknowledge mistakes also makes you more human.

[@eggwhite63]

Gavin your teaching style is spot on! I thoroughly enjoy every video you produce! Cheers from Kentucky!

[@msdelai]

Gavin!!! You are my great teacher, I've been learning a lot following you all this years! Thanks, you are the best!

[@gofotolux]

I really enjoy watching Gavin's videos! He is informative, practical and a very fun guy!

[@Jacko49]

I took it for granted that you would post every 2 weeks or so a new video tut, as i am addicted to your wonderful and creative show,should you need me to send you a giant chocolate to make you going,just let me know ....a pleasure ,bye from Canada

[@StuartDavies]

Gavin, you are a brilliant teacher!

[@traversecitymall3144]

I like that they are quick and get to the point, not an hour long, don't have time for that. Great video.

[@northerntierbuilders]

I LOVE your videos. If us viewers are watching photography videos online we probably are not professional and these videos are perfect for us enthusiast. Keep them coming!!

[@goego]

Gavin, you are definitely my favorite one to follow in the photography area. You are creative and useful. Thanks for continuing your good job.

[@conorferguson]

I have just bought a speed light and was trying to figure out how to practice lighting techniques for portrait shots. This will help immensely. Those pop up backgrounds are a great idea.

[@TerryStoa]

As you say... it's "Brilliant"! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and talents. I've learned a lot from you.

[@GavinHoey]

The on camera flash only fired a pre-flash to communicate with the main flash.

[@venturous1v]

That was one of the best endings to a video I've ever seen. Also very good and helpful video that will help me with self portraits. I may have to invest in one of those reversible backgrounds.

[@AndreRiggins]

i learned refine edge some time ago. very powerful to help cut a subject. Gavin is always the best.

[@AbuJ3fr]

great i have a question , how to fix the yellow or orange lights in photoshop ? some times i use a yellow flash but i dont know how to make it white or nature

[@phoneyjoe]

What an infectious energy he puts into it. A nice, simple approach to portraits, nothing too technical, makes you feel you can get the same results. And you probably can. I didn't know about the pop-out backdrop, I thought he was going to use a reflector. That will be a good candidate for the Adorama gift card I'm sure I'm getting for Christmas. I'll be looking for more of his stuff on AdoramaTv.

[@rooneyprasad]

I love your work Gavin, specially, the post production work. You explain everything in detail which makes it easy to understand. I just enjoy watching your videos. Keep posting more and more videos. :)

[@cha3119]

Enjoyed watching this... again. Was as informative and entertaining the second time - you have a knack. Thanks for doing such a good job with this video, and laughed with the surprise ending.

[@cristinakrause4506]

Gavin -thanks for sharing your talent,You are such a great teacher!

[@GavinHoey]

Some lenses are tripod aware which means the IS is only active when it's needed. Basically I leave my IS at all times and my photos are just fine.

[@GavinHoey]

I've got both Vanguard and Manfrotto tripod, they're both brilliant and have very similar features. Which ever you get, it'll be great.

[@GavinHoey]

Yes, a layer style would work just as well.

[@csanctis]

One of the best informative videos in quite while! Tks for that!

[@DJGReviews]

Always nice to get an email telling me you have uploaded a new video! well done, another brilliant video!

[@dakipro]

Awesome video Gavin, like the simplicity yet how many things you can learn and make on a cheap. Fantastic humor as well :) "Who is that mysterious person? It is me, self portrait" haha And the outtro idea and realization was just uber cool Thanks for vids, keep them coming!

[@AndriyTabachuk]

I love your videos. Very easy to understand and learn! Thanks for your job!

[@benashwin8509]

Again another informal but very informative video, thanks Adorama and Thanks Gavin!

[@paultaylor5513]

A great video as always Gav. I've had personal tuition from the man and he is a fantastic teacher.

[@djrbaker1]

The ending was perfect, didn't expect that at all.

[@GavinHoey]

In theory yes (I do it a lot for video work) but you'll need VERY bright lights on the background and a higher ISO too.

[@blackrosekiss]

Absolutely love this tutorial!! Cannot wait to try it out myself. You make cutting hair out look so simple ... :)

[@ngurah85]

hi Gavin, thank you so much, all of your tutorial totally inspire me how to use my camera, a great tutorial + easy to understand, Brilliant

[@josehijo]

Still on 2017 this is way too awesome and informative! Thanks Gavin... I've learned a lot from you lately!

[@bass3587]

Learned more in 15 minutes than in 15 weeks of trying it on my own!

[@Mouzekiller83]

i realy love your portraits.looks amazing.great work.

[@hugochka]

Added to the favourites and try this later! as usual, a brilliant video!

[@jody1622]

Oh, wow! How much fun is this...I'm going to shoot my mug shot too!

[@Renardo360]

Well done Gavin, made my portret like you and love it!!

[@beedable]

"Alternative me" cute...Very informative and detailed Mr. Gavin! Thank you!

[@CloodyTube]

hey Gavin where can i find this gumshot cause i google it but i cant find ine with high quality and kind of realistic..?

[@MikeJB]

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Cheers, Gavin.

[@JacobMRider]

Newer canon DSRLs such as the 60D have CLS which uses the camera's inbuilt flash as a master trigger. This is a menu option that you have to switch on under 'flash control' in the menu. You also have to make sure the off camera flash is set to wireless slave mode, make that the camera and flash are set to the same channel and you're sweet to shoot :)

[@YGJTV]

Your Are one of the best Gavin , LOVE your work !

[@SandyDeJong]

hello Gavin another great vid thanks a lot hey I love your way of focusing on yourself when your not there to focus good little trick

[@chivgoncto]

Thank a lot mr hoey, i keep learning new things with your videos.

[@EAG1014]

Hi Gavin, thanks for another great tutorial. I hope you can do a tutorial about Light Meter. I'm planning on getting one, although i can't decide between the Sekonic L308 or L538. Cheers! =)

[@jojomarie66]

Great teaching, Gavin . I really appreciate it. Thanks!

[@EmilPaje]

Thanks Jackie7D for the tips. But I have 24-70mm 2.8L and 70-200mm 2.8L II plus Extender 1.4 & 2.0 What would you buy if you are on my side?

[@wolfsangeleyes]

Awesome video and very informative. You look great in the ''hoodie-shot''.

[@metalbillyboy]

Great video, i can't believe i missed the refined edge option untill now, thank you so much. But for the shadow, wouldn't it be so much easier to go into the blending options of your portrait layer and just add a dropshadow? you have much more control over it and it is a lot faster?!

[@mikehanopolpol9963]

excellent tutorial as always, Thanks Gavin!

[@breaktimeimmigrationconsulting]

Well made! Thanks for sharing the tips Gavin.

[@MisterWestbam]

Nice one, as always, clever call with the "alternative me" :) Learned the edge selection thing today... it was a good day...

[@RainArenas]

Brilliant tutorial! Thanks Gavin!

[@fotobum1952]

Gavin; You are a Photoshop genius.

[@MrOrion72]

I don't have the flippy out screen, but I've found that the EOS utility that came with my canon camera works just as well if not better.

[@davidmellors]

Great video with plenty of technique to refer back to (which is exactly what I'm doing now). Thanks

[@abujalmamnoh3807]

I don't have a lightmeter. Will constant light(eg LED) on the white background do the trick?

[@mkh123]

Great information once again, Gavin. It feels almost like Christmas to find a new video of yours in my subscribed channels page.

[@LTChurchillphotography]

could you use drop shadow on the first layer of you at the end ?

[@lelllomatt92]

Grazie Gavin, adoro i tuoi video. Da un giovane appassionato Italiano. :)

[@donnamahar809]

Thank you for making it so simple.

[@manoharmgr8235]

Super ,Very Nice ,Congratulations,*** நன்றாக இருக்கிறது👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️வாழ்த்துக்கள் .........by R.MANOHAR

[@ScrewMaga]

Thank you so much for this Mr. Hoey. Very much appreciated!

[@SliPkn0T1994]

But anyway i find you one of the best tutors keep up the good work!

[@dime4adance]

Superb delivery. Informative as well. Cheers.

[@gabrielivorra]

Really good tutorial, thanks for your videos.

[@juanmgomezb]

Very nice and very easy to get good results. ....thanks

[@augustomet]

Great video.. the last part was really nice!

[@anishnar]

Awesome video!!!..... the ending creeped the fudge out of me!!!!

[@tramanand]

Thanks a ton for this video. Gavin, can you please tell where I can get the background (the one with scale on it).

[@caseyrodger4080]

Nice ending. I think you are learning new tricks. It would be nice to have the link to Mark's video in your "about."

[@erikamkoff1422]

Please give the camera settings for triggering the off camera flash - and of course also the settings on the off camera flash. I use a Canon 80d with Canon 600EX-RT flash- and NO ONE seems to understand how to make it work as a slave unit. Please help ...

[@JimiPain]

Shouldn't you also disable the IS when working with a tripod? It always blurred the images on my D3100.

[@vividshotphotography849]

You the best man I love everything you do !

[@tudajfor]

A true pro. Thank you Gavin.

[@brunorrfernandes]

well done, tks for the all tips and share of Knowledge.

[@RidingLifesRoads]

Love it as always, thanks Gavin

[@UnitedDestinyEntertainment]

This was amazing...Whoever thumbs down this video or got something negative to say is a hater+a know it all!!!!. Great video man

[@alejandro_ramirez]

Using the pop-up flash to trigger the speedlight... doesn't it affect the exposure of the picture?? You are getting two light sources.

[@DerekComer]

Another top video, great stuff Gav,, TV should have programes like this, the Gadget Show is RUBBISH now, it's all about stuff we can't afford, a program like this, with Gav as the presenter would be GREAT. GAV4TV!!!!!

[@TheMalni]

Another great little video from you Gavin, thanks! :)

[@marcknight1975]

is the flash on manual and at what settings? thanks and great vid...

[@GavinHoey]

Years and years of practice is all you need. The sooner you start the sooner you'll get there ;-)

[@suneelcsharma]

Awesome video gavin.. ending came as a surprise..wasn't expecting it.. hilarious!! :)

[@KenCheng]

regarding the whole focusing thing, some cameras have "face detection" now and automatically finds the face, focuses accordingly

[@onzki]

Wow- nice photo! Does it imply that if I buy one good external flash- it will be useless if I don't proceed on adding other gears like backgrounds, reflectors, umbrella, beauty dish, etc? Photography is a bit expensive hobby.. When I first bought a DSLR with kit, I realized that the kit isn't good at all so I upgraded lens.. then when I want to get a flash.. one good flash isn't enough, needs umbrella, etc. I don't have that studio space LOL..

[@Zee.H]

Gavin, I'm getting the same pistol grip but can't decided which brand should I go for when buying a good tripod for both indoors & outdoors use, I can see you're using a Vanguard but is it really better than a similar Manfrotto?

[@ariadneandrogybila]

You are always very funny.... I love your videos, very informative but not borring.... thanks. Xoxoxo.

[@superprenner]

is the on camera flash shooting ?

[@Pellelunden00]

What a great tutorial! Thanks a lot!!

[@janelledalziel5523]

Can you make a video and talk about the Canon 60D camera? Like a review

[@andrewsharpe2587]

Hi Gavin, it looks like you left the stabilizer on, on the lens. Normally, if the camera is on a tripod, don't you want to turn off the stabilizer?

[@mreastwood1]

Awesome and informative as usual! Thanks!

[@ZeroG84]

I did this just last week, tethered to a laptop. Did the trick, and alot less bouncing back and forth.

[@GavinHoey]

It was set to eTTL all the way on this video Pavan

[@adnreader]

What is your opinion about Canon 70D

[@tsscnorthants]

Great video, Gavin. I am big fan. Thanks. PS love the ending. :-))))

[@marcusharris7386]

how was you using the off camera flash without a remote while using the on camera flash

[@chrisindo3112]

Marcus Harris trigger by built in canon60d flash :)
