This was awesome! I appreciate that no fancy strobes or soft boxes or other light modifiers were used. This is more in the realm of the person who is new to the hobby/profession on a limited budget. Great as always.
I swear that I have never learned as much as what I get from watching and listening to your videos. What a great inspiration you are. I've never really been interested in portraits until I watched your video on "Rainy Day " pics in the studio. I was so blown away with the results achieved that my entire perspective and attitude toward portrait photography has now changed forever - hey I'm 50+ :)
I must say that Cloi was an excellent model for your demonstration. I’ve learned that professional results are possible without spending thousands. Posting the settings along with the photo helps to keep the whole composition straight in my mind. Your whole presentation was “spot on”!
Thanks for a great video! Perfect for beginners that need to see not only how to do things right, but also what can go wrong - and how to adjust. Also, showing that you don't need expensive equipment is very comforting and inspiring!
This guy is really a great ambassador for photography and Adorama....super instruction .... beautiful young lady as well ...have learned a great deal from Gavin Hoey for sure....thank you....
Excellent tutorial. I’ve watched tutorials like this before and I thought ho hum something I already know. NOT you taught me one thing that makes a difference!
I really enjoyed this tutorial. I purchased a flash a few days ago and it came in yesterday. My first event is on Sunday and I wanted to make sure that I could control the light and expose the subjects effectively. This was one of the easiest examples of being able to do that correctly in multiple situations and answered most of the questions I would have about flash photography. Thank you for this. This was amazing!
Love Gavin. Just wanna know how he got in such great shape. He looks fantastic.. Chloe has gotten so much better as a model over the years. Definite keeper.
thank you for sharing your great idea of how you use you ron-camera flash properly. Actually i always bouncing light in the wall but using the white thing from the flash i didn't know that yet on how to use, so now i watched your video, i got an additional idea from you sir. ;)
THANK YOU!! out of the many clips this is the best one I can learn for using speed light, demonstrative, straight to the point with great comparisons. Great Job!!!
Great as always. I love the idea of the rug. That turned out fantastic and I agree i liked the color ones better. I look forward to seeing whats next in two weeks
Really terrific video for on-camera flash. Very good information for small studio spaces and also newcomers to flash photography who have a speedlight but don’t yet have light stands, mounts and modifiers.
what a job and how well done.Back to basics, indeed, necessary sometimes. Gavin, your vids are really awesome, thank you for sharing the knowledge and passion.
I do events and constantly struggle with the decision of setting my camera to P or M. And, most of the time these events have no doable walls to bounce the flash off of. No redos in these events, either. Get it right the first time! You gave me some new ideas to work with. Thanks!
This video is awesome. It really help me to to understand different scenarios. But my question is how to manage flash in open environment, you don't have walls to bounce light with. ?
I've done a lot of single light, non-flash photography but figure it's time to actually try out flash as a new tool to use. This was a great little intro video to the basic concepts!
Thank you Gavin, I feel a lot better about speed lights now. I have my first wedding to shoot in September so really need to get one and start practising. Thanks again that looks pretty straightforward.
Wonderful...as usual, Gavin! Question though: the video shows the models clothing to be much richer (or deeper) brown than the finished images. Was this intentional to sort of 'fade out' the color? Or are we seeing a slight difference between the video camera and your mirrorless colors? BTW..who would have ever thought to wrap a model in a rug??? Creative as heck. Kudos!
Hi Randy. I kept the test shots as shot and the shoot shots with the viberence set to about 50%... if you follow me! The original plan was for all the final photos to be black and white but I'm glad I changed my mind in the editing process.
Wow this was so well done. I understand every single part of the Video and english is not my mother tongue. Great examples and both of you did such an amazing job.
I use OCF for outdoor model shots as well, lower power for just a touch of fill light. I also add ⅛ to ¼ CTO filter to knock out the blue-ish direct flash color.

Who else would wrap his model in a rug other than Gavin Hoey 😉? Brilliant idea 😊👍
Thanks Ralph but to put it into context, there were three of us in the room but only one of us thought it was a brilliant idea 😏
@@GavinHoey let me guess, it was you 😉

@@GavinHoey you don't look a day over 50 but your tips feel like you have more than 60 years experience taking images
Every beginner photographer needs this little video in their life. This is amazing.
Gavin Hoey produces top tier videos and photos. So much information about the process of making photos explained to a point with no filler.
one of the best on camera flash photography tutorials I ever watched on RUclips. Short and simple, yet detailed. Thanks Gavin.

Gavin, you are one of the greatest instructors of this industry. Thank you!
This is by far the best video for on camera flash. Loved all the examples.
It was so hard to believe that those backward bounce shots created such a soft beautiful look! incredible tutorial.
Hi Gavin, nice to see you again, used to watch a lot of the videos you did for a camera magazine some years back. Subscribed.
The behind look was so nice, soft and modelesque!
Gavin you are the best relax and teacher ever !!!

This is the most informative clip I have ever watched compared to the other ones.
Thank you Adorama!
Just when I was thinking I should take my dusty old flash and DSLR out for a spin. Thank you!
Amazing work! Model-roll-up-in-rugs are indeed a very specific niche 😂
Bravo Gavin! I bet Chloe never saw that coming! Thanks for the chuckle

Wow. The exact video I need ... Just recently got a flash and been struggling to use it. Thank you
Awesome. The GH legend continues. Off to try the over the shoulder flash direction.
Excellent. Just keep an eye on the colour of the wall and furnishings behind you 😉
@@GavinHoey Seemed to work well with my 'Cotton White' walls!
Excellent! Learned so much.
Wasn’t expecting that at the end with the rug, but it was pretty cool 😎👌🏾
Gavin the light bender magician. Awesome
Thank you 👍
Thank you Mr. Hoey
Amazing as always Gavin! Such a nice result with a simple speedlight!! All because of that amazing knowledge. Really useful video. Thanks!!

Thank you!! This is just what I was looking for! Without any fancy materials.
The pictures of her wrapped in the rug were awesome. Both color and the BW I’m going to have to borrow that technique, thanks
This was really good! The carpet shots look incredible! Thank you for this video!!
Some great tips to add to my startup thanks

Hi Pat. No flash, no photo is my mantra unless I have a good reason to capture the ambient. I hope it helps you as much as it's helped me.
Wow I've learnt so much of this video straight forward and very detailed thank you so much an Chloe the model is beautiful thanks again
Superb! Such a useful alternative to portable studio strobes.
Best teacher ever!
