    Gavin, I don't know how you do it man, but you make this all look so easy. I'm so nervous about doing studio portraits and failing at it that it paralyzed me from doing it. Then I watch your videos and you show how simple it is and I get inspired to at least try.
    Thank you for all the great work that you do.

    Thanks for the various ideas. Great for future shoots. Must try the over-head strip box again; it can be very dramatic, as you and Sophie have shown. Did like the small shadow on Sophie from the flooring - really gave depth to the image. The silver/metallic tutu was brilliant in terms of colour/texture. As always, well done to everyone !

    I love the result you have on Sophie about 3:45, moving the temperature a bit to the left. To my eyes it is just stunning. However, her face still seems quite warm, compared to the bluish background. Did you mask her face to keep off some of the cooler temperature, or is it an optical illusion that her skin still seems warm?
