a photography shootout between Gavin and Seth to see who can use the most random everyday things to create incredible shots would be must-watch TV 😊 (and special shoutout to Lindsay as well who I've seen use literal dollar-store items for like beautiful high-end fashion shots)
I never would have thought that would be an interesting prop, but it sure was! Makes one think outside the box a little more. Thanks for making these videos!
This looks like something that would have been shot in the 90's. I think if you had another light with a colored gel, it would look more appealing. Also maybe add a scrim or something to diffuse the light from the sun.
@GavinHoey Gavin just reading your comment I can still remember the first time I met you in person and every time I see you pop up on RUclips I still get excited and also one more thing thankyou for being a great teacher but also for cheering us all up when we have needed it. So thankyou
Great video. Looked like a fun time. I can see a great Halloween/Horror themed shoot with darkness and maybe orangish light with the model behind and pressing into the sheet. Maybe some fog for mood. Or even go the other way in a bright situation with the model in front and fog filling the back of the sheet creating a sort of angelic look. Lots of possibilities.
Super, super video. Really great images using just a single (inexpensive) prop. Always like your images shooting along the side of walls, sheets and backdrops. Today's images were exceptional. Well done to All. Chloe looked great even when being part smothered by plastic. How about making a tent-like shape and sprinkling it with water for "rain-drops", or filling it with smoke and coloured gels lighting it (i hear Deep Purple is a common request). Thanks to Everyone
Great Tutorial/video Gavin. I have a question. Does it have to be sunny out for this to work? if so, what time of day would you recommend shooting? Closer to golden hour? or Mid day? Also, could this be done in the shad with flashes?
Hi Kenneth. The Fuji HS-2 was a joy to use in every way except one. I loved the features, some of which I've never seen before and massively miss already. The image resolution was a significant step up to what I'm used to and the ergonomics were excellent. I had a problem with the AF showing false positives on face / eye detect (which I use all of the time) but Fuji assured me that a future firmware update will sort that known issue (but sadly only after my loaner had been returned).
Wait... did I miss something? Are you not an OM Systems ambassador anymore? If I'm being selfish, that would be a good result for me if he's going to be using gear like mine.
@@mattl8723 I left the OM ambassador program last year and have been looking at alternatives from Sony and Fuji as well as using my perfectly good OM System kit 😉
Chloe has to hand draw her tattoos on every time we do a shoot. It's a pain but that's how dedicated she is to Adorama TV 😉 She also needed a few photo in her portfolio without the tattoos 👍
Somehow your "oddball" aproach works well for both you and Chloe who is always relaxed. Glad you addressed the breathing issue. 🐯

YES!!!! I'll bring an everyday item as a background and Seth can provide the everyday object as a lighting mod... Bring it on 😁
Very cool way to get some high fantasy shots

Love it, fantastic idea Gavin Hoey, this has a lot of possibilities!
Inspiring as usual. I'm always amazed at the way you turn simple items into props.
I always learn something cool from Gavin
WOW!!!!!
what a beautiful house you have right there!!!!
congratulations and BLESSINGS!!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
Gavin, absolutely love your videos. This one is no exception!!!!!!
Thank you 👍
Great idea, i have used this long time ago with colored lights indoor in the studio. I have used a vent for the effects of the foil.
Love the nice pastel colors on the processed pictures.
Great concept! Would love to see what it would look like in open shade. Thanks for sharing!
with all the different angles created by the sheet I would love to see 2 or 3 fixed lights with gels shining onto them as an idea.
Sounds like a good alternative idea in the studio 👍
Very inspiring idea Gavin 👍
Thank you 👍
What FUN! Thanks, Gavin
Hahaha - "....turn around"
Thanks Linda ☺
That material would be awesome indoors as well. I’d put my AD 100s behind it with different colored gels.
That seems to be a popular train of thought. I'm going to investigate 👍
Well that was fun!
Great work from you two! As usual :)
Thank you 👍
Absolutely love this video what a creative way to use a desk cloth!
What a great and fun video, thanks Gavin and team!
Thanks Lisa 👍
I just love this!!! Genius Gavin!!!
Thanks Karen 👍
Great video Gavin- been carrying around a pack of those dropsheets for ages - your vid makes me want to get my butt in gear and use them
Fantastic and very inspiring Gavin and Chloe. A couple of these images in b@w would be nice to see.
I really wanted the colour to come through on these but in a studio mono might be my choice too.
Gavin sendo Gavin: sempre um show!!!
Very entertaining like to see you do this with a black plastic and a much more edgy outfit On the model! # smashing

Fantastic video Gavin I always come back to your content because it is always awsome
Thanks Kirsty, I'm lucky to have awesome people in my team as well as awesome subscribers such as yourself 👍

So fun and what a fun creative idea. Always fun to watch you guys
Thank you, it was fun to film too 👍
Great idea and fun video, thank you.
May look good in B&W... thanks for the idea!

Thanks for the kind words Alan. Good suggestions and not something I had considered... until now 🤔
Nice! I wonder what this setup would look like after dark with all sorts of different lights setup in front and behind the dust sheet!?!
I was thinking that the sheet would hold the colour from gels on off camera flash well? 2 colours hitting opposite sides, backlit?
Great video.
I like the idea Martin... will try that out!
THE BEST
Очень интересное решение. Увидев превъю я подумал что это вода . Вы гений друг мой .
Great Tutorial/video Gavin. I have a question. Does it have to be sunny out for this to work? if so, what time of day would you recommend shooting? Closer to golden hour? or Mid day?

Interesting
How many mils aka thicks of the plastic, was you worry about it ripping in the breeze?
The Fujifilm is in action again, how do you like it?
And thanks for sharing another cool photo idea.

@@paulchoccyt1303 That's good to hear Paul. It's just a week or three to late for my loaner but I'm glad Fuji were true to their word 👍
Did you switch from om system to fuji?
If you can keep that sheet straight, then you have great bokeh without the need for a US$ 3,000 portrait prime
This is a great inspiring video. Could you please share where to get the plastic sheet? Brand, length, etc? Thanks.
Cheapo plastic dust sheet from any DIY store. Size: big.
It's available at any local harware/home improvement store under many and various names. It's lightweight plastic dropcloth.
Sorry dude, that is anything but a great background!
Thank you for yet another creative demo. What happened to Chloe's tattoos, Photoshop, AI generative-fill?
Chloe has to hand draw her tattoos on every time we do a shoot. It's a pain but that's how dedicated she is to Adorama TV 😉 She also needed a few photo in her portfolio without the tattoos 👍
@@GavinHoey I for one prefer no tattoos 😉 Keep the good work Gavin and congrats on yesterday's win
i did this 7 weeks ago......so you copy me... 😉😁
Effect isn't good as this bloke advertises. I'm not going to try this sorry
wow that sucks big time!! looks ridiculous imho..
