Your First Beauty Light Shoot | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

[@grwoods01]

You're one of the ONLY people who can keep me pulled in and focused on your entire video. I absolutely love the way you teach. THANK YOU, Gavin. Sincerely.

[@paibphotographyatitsbest6524]

This is always my favorite photographer every time I see a Adorama TV and see him I am watching 1000% Love the guy

[@faasteercz9184]

Me too. :)

[@Joizygyrl926]

Yes Gavin is my favorite! I instantly click to watch him.

[@manrecovered6144]

Yes me too, he has a very engaging personality, and is a great teacher, makes it all feel fun & achievable. Easily one of the best photography teachers on KZbin.

[@canyonrider493]

Absolutely. If I ever travel to the UK, my biggest highlight would be to have a cup of coffee with Gavin Hoey. (And I don’t even like coffee)

[@rizingplanet]

Gav, awesome tutorial. I've rewatched a dozen times and cant convince myself that a large area of her cheeks look sort of dark or muddy. From here I can't tell how much makeup has been applied but a reduction might be called for. Regards

[@beautybylati]

I have been watching all of your videos in a row...can't get enough! Thank you!

[@Adorama]

That's awesome to hear! We're so glad you're enjoying the videos.

[@waltervanlille2263]

Sound, concise, and easy to understand advice with excellent sound quality, practically presented, along with a beautiful model, packaged in an expertly edited video. Can someone explain to me how this gets even one "dislike," nevermind 44? People are fickle.

[@Adorama]

Appreciate your positive feedback as it means a lot! 💖

[@bpplus9713]

Gavin! You are the best!! I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much

[@richarddeleon1602]

Mr. Hoey, you are absolutely amazing!

[@BTcycle]

Every models dream to work with Gavin Hoey. Makes everything easy and simple.

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks but I can be a real task master off camera... for example... grrrrr get back to work. OK, maybe you're right 😉

[@afifcherif5182]

Still my fav. Learned so much from you

[@iaunn]

Love this guy! Gavin thank you.

[@streetlegal008]

Gavin is the Tony Hart of photography. I kept expecting an appearance from Mr Bennett! Great stuff!

[@kennypringle4580]

I enjoy all of your videos. You’re the bestest of the best🤗

[@mkhaliphilanga6784]

I really enjoy the way Gavin demystifies pro photography. Thanks.🇿🇦

[@JohnChubbSr]

Absolutely beautiful!!!

[@dunnymonster]

Always a highlight ( pardon the pun ) of my KZbin viewing is my weekly Gavin Hoey tutorial. Always learn something new each time. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@barkyvonschnauzer2188]

I always find that Gavin's performance and teachable lessons are tasty popcorn moments, Always enjoyable. I hope to see him at Shutter Fest 2022 this year.

[@GavinHoey]

Well that would be awesome but sadly unlikely in 2022. However the totally brilliant Seth Miranda is speaking at Shutter Fest and his live demos are worth the ticket price alone in my opinion!

[@karstenriisgaard5797]

Thanks for the video, Gavvy!

[@thomaswright20]

Really enjoy your upbeat videos. You show us that we don't need the most expensive equipment to get great shots. I am also a fan of Adorama. I purchase most of my kit from them and they have treated me very well. I use a lot of the same equipment that you do, and find that the balance between value and quality can not be beat. Please keep the videos coming.

[@russellallan8564]

Gavin great as always and Chloe is just gorgeous - she has such a range of facial expressions. Just beautiful

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Russell. Chloe is a rare find, someone who can smile on demand and make it look genuine 😁

[@russellallan8564]

@@GavinHoey rare indeed. :)

[@rolandrick]

Gavin 😍🙌. Man, I simply really love all of your videos and the fun on photography you’re spreading in all of your presentations.

[@Alex_science]

Hi Gavin. As always, great photos with great explanations. You are THE photo guy!!

[@Muhammadfathi1]

Brilliant as always .. Whenever you introduce a new video I know for sure that I'm going to experience something magical .. Thank you so much for you on going efforts throughout the years .. Still waiting for the Hollywood glamour lighting the way Hedy Lamar portraits looked some 70 years ago . Wish you all the best .. Muhammad Fathi from Cairo - Egypt ..

[@rwakomaerickriecy2967]

Ooh how I love the way you teach. Detailed in a simple way. 👍

[@cmichaelanthonyimages2197]

I studied years ago at a workshop with a master photographer, Frank Cricio, and he had developed a technique called porcelain light, using a soft key light with a harder projected parobolic light, which would create a focused specularity in line with the key on the face. You dont want to use this on a subject with harsh skin features. The beauty this brought, likened images to the forty and fifty era glamor portraits. This really has a wonderful visual impact with B&W.

[@videojoy88]

Chloe - what an amazing model!

[@MichaelLyon]

Gavin Hoey is my favorite photographer! Always love his videos. I don’t know how he comes up with so many creative videos over and over again.

[@Michel_Vanaken]

The more dynamic filming in the recent videos is a nice touch 👍

[@GavinHoey]

That's all down to Sam's new found love of mini gimbles. I'll let her know 👍

[@didimiorios3781]

All this shoots are really amazing. Thanks for share this simple and easy techniques.

[@craig_m_mi]

Well if Chloe isn't gorgeous, I'm not sure who is. Well done with the images and lighting Mr. Hoey and thanks for the explanations....

[@BeenaDeming]

You're my favorite...before i had a hard time to understand you... Now no problem...love your work

[@kennypringle4580]

You are a great portrait photographer👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Will-qz5jw]

Thanks for sharing, Gavin. Nice tips, set up and a beautiful model.

[@gooseneckful]

Cool video as always. All of your models know there stuff also. I love your videos 🙂

[@franciscoybanezpacifico1040]

Teaching me much about photography that nobody's teaching me about some techniques before. Really appreciate this.

[@Sportserjeff]

Chloe was amazing even with the limited posing. Also I want to thank you for your tip about hats. I have a box of them I bring to most of my shoots and it never fails I get some spectacular shots.

[@stephanepiquet6651]

Excellent Gavin as usual ! Thanks for your precious advice :)

[@mikejames4068]

I have watched a lot of your videos, they are always informative , but I must say I think these shots are probably the best you have taken

[@paulmstuart]

Not too complicated a setup but with top notch results and well explained. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers.

Hello Gavin, Chloe, and Adorama, thank you for taking the time to create this video. Tryed it out, worked out well. Enjoy a great and wonderful day.

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Tom. Thanks for the comment, I'm super happy to hear it was helpful.

[@daemon1143]

Well, I learned a lot more from that than I thought I would. Thanks.

[@raulakis35]

I have been following the channel for a couple of years now and have to say that every single video is always Awesome and educational !! Great work Gavin and Adorama!!!

Thanks for the kind words Patty 👍

[@alexanderpons9246]

Great step by step Gavin Hoey, glad you also mentioned that in the end is up to each Photographer to decide on the output of the background light as well as the the fill(silver or white). Thanks for sharing so much great knowledge through ADORAMA channel!

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Alexander. Yep, there's no rules in photography and even the guidelines are there to be ignored 😎

[@rickrivera2761]

Gavin your so right...you dont need a beauty dish for someone whos naturally a beauty :).....Chloe!!!!!!!!

[@GavinHoey]

In my experience Rick a beauty dish used incorrectly can make anyone look terrible. A softbox is a much easier tool to start with 😉

[@jokerjones50]

Great video!!! Very helpful!!!!

Brilliant as usual and I's love to see how Gavin uses the color passport to get the same white balance in all the photos , please.

[@anitastevens9969]

Excellent...You always make it look so easy. Hoping one day I will get it.

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Anita. There are two secret tips you need in order to "get it". First is to spectacularly fail on a regular basis. The second is look objectively look at the failures to learn why they failed. Stick at it, it gets easier.

[@PaulMcElligott]

@@GavinHoey The first part is easy. Comes naturally to most people. The second tip is the hard one.
