    Sometimes less is more and that's exactly what photographer Gavin Hoey explores when he creates a small slot of light for a portrait shoot.
    Gavin takes the DIY budget approach to creating a slot of light, recycling a cardboard tube to control the light. In the video he'll show you how to create a slot of light and then three different ways it can be used and extended into a thin beam to create some eye catching portraits.

  • @markharris5771
    @markharris5771 6 лет назад

    I did the original snoot to illuminate a bottle label. I also used 2 layers of tracing paper, one one overlapping the tape by about 5mm and one about 3mm to feather the light slightly. It worked better with the 5mm closest to the light as I got a slightly weird line the other way round. I also tried cutting out a circle of cardboard with a square hole in it that didn’t work right at all, there’ll be some scientific reason I don’t understand for this. Great video as always, thank you and now I know why my barn doors didn’t work.
