Gavin, your energy and demeanour is always so infectious. Even when I know what you are teaching, I can’t help but watch your videos. They always cheer me up!
Hi Gavin, I went to a dollar store and bought a few bundles of dried spikes and use it in occasions to shoot a model through the spikes 😀 the are around 1 inch wide at the thickest part but since I have many of them I can cover sufficient for a cool look, just like you use the twigs 😀
Thanks, Gavin. Great video as always. You frequently mention Nik Software, I have the latest two versions and was hoping you may be able to point me towards decent training or guidance for using them. Maybe convince some of your Adorama cohorts to create some tutorials for us! Thanks for all you do!
1/2000 shutter speed, is it because a slower speed like your cameras sync speed would let to much light in making the photo not as blurry? Or is it something else? Awesome video!!! Can’t wait to try this.
Yep, that's basically it. super wide apertures (like f/1.4) let in loads of ambient light which is recorded by the camera along with the flash and can cause issues such as image ghosting, colour shifts and exposure issues.
What is the reason why you don't use full frame, so that you can better achieve a shallow depth of field ? And then I just want to add that you make some really good and educational videos. They are a great inspiration for me, who is a bit new to portrait photography, even though I have many years behind the camera.
Hi Gavin, great video. Quick question, I am a complete novice and was wondering why that shutter speed?? Don't you usually have it set at 1/125 1/250 ??
It's all about the ambient light. Super wide apertures (like f/1.4) let in loads of ambient light which is recorded by the camera along with the flash and can cause issues such as image ghosting, colour shifts and exposure issues. HSS flash (High Speed Sync) allows me to exceed the standard shutter speed for flash (1/250th in this case) but to learn more I made a whole video about it ruclips.net/video/mRF7ocz8K5E/видео.html

This is such a great tutorial!! You've given me lots of ideas. Thanks Gavin, team, and great model :)
another great session Gavin. What a treat. Appreciate your videos so much
Great photographer, great model, great video! Thanks
Super inspiring, Gavin!!!
Wow! I really love the simplicity of using the fabric - the results are great and so is Gavin as a teacher. So many inventive ideas - thank you!!
I'm glad the fabric idea helped 👍
Excellent video again Gavin. Congratulations and keep up the good work!
Brilliant tutorial again Gav. And Cara is a fantastic addition to your videos, very beautiful model ❤
I use object in foreground often. Items such as water bottles, mirrors, lights, flowers, wedding veils. :)
There is always something different about Gavin's videos! What we can achieve with so less stuffs!
What can I say. Another masterpice. Thanks for posting Gavin. You are a Master.
Another great example of blur and how to achieve it and make your photos exceptional. Thanks Gavin!
Thank you 👍
Love the video
As usual really interesting.
Thanks Paul 👍
Always comes up with great ideas Gavin! Now I need to go and find me some twigs 😁👍
Don’t worry, Gavin. We’ll “stick” with you
I see what you did there 😉
gavin ur the best teacher .
Thank you 😊
What a good idea, I am going branch collecting now.
Excellent tutorial and easy to do. Thanks for the inspiration.
Using foreground blur as a framing device to make a more interesting photo, nice
Good to have Cara back for a shoot. Liked the overlapping backdrops at the beginning and the light tent effects. Well done to All !
Gavin your videos are always making me smile
Thanks Kirsty. Keep smiling 😁
@@GavinHoey Thanks Gavin will do and the same to you too
Sooooo good❤
Another variable that I didn't think of trying. Thanks
Thanks Gavin for this very useful video that will be beneficial to my photography. Much appreciated 😊
great ideas to try, I know I'm going to practice in my studio this weekend

that was very useful brother that adds more ideas for photo shoots for sure thank you and that model is a beauty good choice.

Very good. But you can use a gobo mask with a green filter in the background
great video
U make look all so easy for u it likely is.

Go for it Kevin 👍

Do you shoot in hss?
Yes indeed. HSS was essential in this light for wide aperture flash photography.
Can you tell what your viewing the images on please on the stand
That's my Lenovo Miix 2 in 1 Tablet/ Laptop.

@@GavinHoey Thanks. ! am sure you said but i must have missed it. Sorry. And thanks for another video, awesome as always.
Cara. Now known as Twiggy...
Why don't the models smile during the photo session ?
