Zoom Your Speedlight | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

[@csc-photo]

Honestly I've learned more about lighting from Gavin's videos than anywhere else, by far. His info & presentation skills are amazing. Thanks!

[@BrianHalePhoto]

One of the few that doesn't have that weird photographer ego but is actually good! I could watch his stuff all day.

[@AUDACITY4Uphotographer]

@@darkroom8317 I agree that Gavin is great but Manny is one my favorite to watch. He even talks about his anxiety being around people.

[@promokator]

Yes, Gavin is the best!

[@promokator]

@@AUDACITY4Uphotographer can you give link to Manny?

The best photography technique educator in KZbin

[@leeromi1708]

I've been wracking my brain how to use the speedlite for months! and you explained it PERFECTLY in 8 minutes!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! You're funny and informative. Perfect combination! If you're ever in London, I'd love to meet you over a cuppa

[@motleykingdom9394]

Always something new to learn. I just came here to learn what the zoom feature was but also learned creative uses for it. Thanks.

[@everardopastor]

Ohhhh, so that’s how you use the zoom function. I always wondered about that, good to know! 😅👌🏼

[@Jvaldes609]

I’m glad they put this in a playlist!

[@philturner6034]

I watched this just before attending a model/photographer workshop. I tried the technique and was impressed with the results. I also tried with a speedlight using a 7" dish/reflector & grid. very similar results.

[@guerradigital]

Gavin, gran fotógrafo. Artista y sorprendente técnica. Sin duda de los mejores. Greetings from Mexico City.

[@fox1-f6o]

Thanks for all the education, I wouldn't know anything it wasn't for your instruction.

[@OmarSpence]

It's helpful outside too, especially with wide angle lenses when you want the light on your subject but with the flash outside of the frame

[@tonyattardo738]

Thank you so much. I always learn from your work.

[@rockxie6710]

You gave me new idea. Thanks Gavin.

[@MyVvek]

Always love Gavin Hoey😍

[@gentlegnt]

[@jorgemoralesvic]

Wow!! thanks a lot Gavin, beautiful work

[@truthsayers8725]

i shot exclusively with speedlites until just recently. i saw your live-stream (replay) of the Flashpoint 3x 300strobe kit and picked one of them up (got the Godox, Adorama didnt have any in stock)... im so jealous that you have such a beautifully talented model in Sophie! i have no one but myself and self-portraits are no fun...

[@BTcycle]

Thank you for making editing in photoshop super easy and simple.

[@terryleephotographer]

I wanna be Gavin Hoey when I grow up!

[@inlocoparentis]

I'm late to the game. These are some great tips, Gavin.

[@danw.7483]

Gavin is THE man!!

[@ErikMoody]

Great video my man!!! Just bought a Godox V1c and i'm about go out at night and try some shots in the middle of the Arizona desert.

[@toasty2324]

[@markmondaini4088]

[@rubenespinoza7121]

Thanks Gavin. Always inspired by you.

[@chrishowitt9654]

Wow, really gives me a few ideas, time to get one of my speedlights out if it's softbox. Cheers.

[@IngBass]

Thanks for the video. And all my best for Sophie, she's so adorable!

[@jer3006]

Very helpful, thank you! Between you, Daniel, and Pye my Speedlight knowledge is on an upswing!

[@dunnymonster]

Excellent as always Gavin. I'll admit I often forget the benefits of utilising the flash zoom function. Thanks for the refresh 👍☺️

[@kevinlane7555]

I always learn stuff from your videos, and appreciate your ability to effectively teach without a giant studio and a bunch of equipment unaffordable to an amateur like myself.....so thanks

[@promokator]

Amazing lesson! Thank You Gavin :-)

[@zahidkhanyousafzai3399]

wonderful teacher love u

[@alanroderick7153]

OCF rules ! (You taught me well, Gavin). This is a super trick to have, and some time soon (C-19 etc) I hope to experiment with a real model ! Thanks to Gavin, Sam and Sophie

[@jerrym8140]

Beautiful portraits

[@Christopher_T_Billings]

My question is... Why is Gavin Hoey so awesome?!! Seriously though, super informative video!

[@davidbailey1689]

Excellent. Thanks Gavin.

[@jonathanvivas4303]

Excellent tutorial, as always Gavin! Thank you and Sophie pretty!!!!! Regards from Toronto Canada

[@brock_calliou]

Absolutely fantastic! I love your videos and this one surely comes out on top. I have a strobe and a speedlite flash; the speedlite hasn't been used as much. Now I can use my speedlite flash more often and give it the love it deserves. All thanks to you.

[@charlieross-BRM]

Good timing. I might need this for a specific shoot next week. Bouncing a second flash off the ceiling but I don't know yet what the heights and distances will be (not my room). The finals you shot make me think of Sophie being under a street lamp. Something else for me to play with.

[@250GTOAJ]

Great information, Thanks Sophie, Gavin and Sam!

[@joselopez6324]

This is simple and instructional!

[@TheFizz263]

Gavin, wonderful video as always. Thanks for sharing.

[@Valtrach]

Great video. Thank you for your time and work.

[@joem4866]

Even though I am very familiar with the use of the Zoom in the Speedlights, I always enjoy watching your videos. I find you intellectually stimulating and just enjoy your presentations, along with your fabulous accent. I however have the Brooklyn/NY accent which, admittedly, is not very flattering.

[@MichaelKantormusic]

Interesting. Might use that feature on next shoot

[@chrissmith5567]

I really enjoy your videos and learn so much, particularly using flash. Can you please tell me what type of monitor you use for tethered shooting?

[@Mr_Grumpy]

Great video, amazing tutorial and a beautiful model. Thanks for all your technical explanations. Cheers.

[@HanhNguyen-mh4jm]

Love it !! Thank you so much 🙏🙏

[@petrnovoselov1373]

Спасибо. Отличный урок.

[@bobrosberg55]

[@The9q11]

[@SoundPeaks]

[@Mafalda0510]

[@maged4ahmed]

Thank you so much

[@martinwiedmann8584]

[@Alex_science]

Gavin, I really love your photos. Congrats!

[@stevebendelack3935]

Very informative.nice one

[@anshulsethi1350]

As usual... Great work by best photographer on youtube.

[@rudjard]

do you need to have other software to connect you ipad as monitor when u tethered? thanks Gavin

[@marcoscabreracastellano8652]

Hi Gavin,very nice as allways.Any tutorial with old cars or motorbikes?Thank's

[@charlieross-BRM]

I would be interested in this too. Vehicles are a challenge with so many curves, highlights and materials to deal with. I do at least as much with video of vehicles parked and moving.

[@stevefrederick9736]

Love your tutorials... I really like Sophie's "Pat Benatar" look that she has going on.

[@loihpatli]

Thanks for video Gavin! Which smoke machine you recomend to use in small studio like yours? Thanks

[@josegeraldoresendeboaventu2274]

very good Gavin...

[@miriamfitzpatrick3360]

Thank you! Love your work.

[@thats_mr_b_]

Hey Gavin, I actually bought a Ez lock because of you. As fast as the inner plate what do you suggest as far as the concave/convex placement ? Thanx brother

[@mirandavandenberk786]

Great,thank you

[@ncsa197]

Well done! A lot of information to use.

[@theintrnationlst]

Really good vid, and I love that you follow through and show how you finish your shots in photoshop, that's something so often left out.

[@mediaflmcreation]

Mr. Hoey ... can you do a really quick video how you wire tethered your camera directly to your ipad?

[@jairoplagio5100]

Hey Gary are You using tethering direct to tablet... Which tablet and software is?

[@FredFloresca]

Love the artistic effects! I also wondered about that zoom function. Thank you!

[@MrJueKa]

every function of a speedlite is explained in its manual or simply "learning by doing" 😉

[@qantas0323]

Hey Gavin, This is Anand. Your Videos are really Amazing and informative specially this video of using TTF flash as studio. Need your guidance that how effective and efferent will be using Basic manual Speedlight instead of TTF Speedlight and can such lights can be low cost solution instead of Cylindrical studio Speedlights.😀

[@tysonator5433]

Another very good video from Gavin, I have learnt so much from watching this channel., especially flash !

[@josch.106]

Hi Gavin, what monitor do you use for tethering?

[@cheilabiazussi5480]

Ooh you have a lot of energy 😅😅 I was asleep and woke up with this video.

[@sandraamato6004]

Super video Gavin. You prove creativity is not limited by tools.🙌🏼

[@yrudy]

If im rapidly firing my godox V860iii speedlight at 1/2 power during a photosession, does zooming the flash in to 35mm (to avoid overheating the front glass too much) actually make a difference?

[@jeffnewman8261]

Great video, excellent in formation!

[@marcusprime357]

Great work Gavin. Can you do a video on Macro Photography please? Would be a blast.

[@xFreyelis]

when Bouncing towards a ceiling, is it better to go for maximum Zoom? (200mm)

[@sudeep64ify]

Great videos as usual! Thanks Gavin!

[@AstrologerKennediGopalan]

Enlightening!!!

[@2010Maia]

As always, very good, Gavin!

[@jorgeb.garrido105]

What are you using for review? Its an iPad? Which app?

[@heartwarestudio4412]

thank you

[@wolfgangschwalb7420]

great video, Gavin, as always

[@daveleblanc1729]

Late to the party but thanks for another great video and Sophie looks amazing as always!

[@nlcphotography8396]

Mind if I ask Gavin, what you are tethered too?

[@wilcohen1505]

I have the same question

[@jasonlacey5979]

Bravo.. Excellent content as always

[@TheBenchapman]

Brilliant

[@paulbell9957]

Fantastic image Gavin and another great tutorial 😊👍

[@ernie28ernie]

Awesome as ever! And by the way superb music, as usual in Gavins videos :)

[@honda86tb]

Fantastic!

[@sherbiseerattan3901]

What flash was that ; and is it compatible to the OMD 1 mark 2?

[@jacquelinejackson5191]

great video

[@miguelangel857]

The best!!!!!!

[@Top_Gun88]

Hi Gavin, when using something like a beauty dish where the light is initially reflected onto a central scale and then bounced into the rest of the dish, should I zoom in (So the light only hits the center dish) or zoom out so I spread it evenly across the dish even before bouncing? Or does it not matter at all at such a close range?
