Einfach mal Danke sagen…, NIEMAND schafft es einem die Lichtsetzung so leicht und sympathisch zu vermitteln, wie Gavin. Dank dir habe ich enorme Fortschritte machen können. Deine Beiträge hier auf UA-cam sind mit Abstand die Besten.
You're early this week Gavin 😋 Always enjoy my weekly hit, another excellent tutorial. My first backdrop was grey, apparently thats the easiest to turn black or white or even coloured with gels ☺️
Thanks a lot Gavin 🙏. These videos are so much fun to watch and so useful. You always make things look so easy, but I guess that’s “just” a great photographer with tons of experience knowing what he’s doing 😉
Once again an excellent session. Light theory showing the results!!!! Showing the "WHY" not just talking about it. Yes putting the meter against the white wall was useless (but was it??) It drives the point home. I really respect Daniel and Seth. But this is the session that gave me the "ah ha" about light fall off. I just don't think you can teach light fall off without a meter. IMHO is this session had started with the white background it would not have been as good. Starting with the premise of "in my first....", really set the mindset of the viewer (me). Then the progression of steps and the why of those steps were congruent logical and repeatable. Another job well done by the team.
Thank you so much. Love your videos and how you structure them to get the message across. I owe a lot of what I know about photography to you @GavinHoey. Thank you, and please keep your videos coming.
Gavin, what is your tether set up? It looks. Like your using a tablet here and it also captures the image. Is this an android tablet on a tether USB c? We need an updated tether class on today's tablet or portable monitors. Just wanted to say you've been a revelation to me Gavin. I traded all of my old system to m43 and loving it.
Very clear & actionable presentation. My question is how important is it to get the black and white background perfect or near perfect if we have access to good photo-editing software? With a plain background it should be relatively easy to mask the subject and brighten / darken or fully replace the background. Probably easier to hide the join if the original background in the raw image is close to the intended background.
I really enjoy a bit of post processing, but the thought of having to create unique masks of fine hair on a dozen photos just to make the background black or white isn't one I'd relish. Fine for a one off but more then that, getting as right as possible in camera would be my recommendation.
Hi Gavin! Have been a fan for quite sometime and that took me into Adorama's store in NYC!!! Quick question: the camera is tethered how? CO w\ an iPad? Brilliant in all aspects and highly motivational! Cheers Carlos
amazing video and thank you so much for the super informative clips here. I just wanted to ask, for the projector, where did you get the gobos from? the ak-21 doesn't come with those :D
Great work as always Gavin 👍. I’d not seen that projector before and am now keen to purchase one, can you confirm which gobo slides that you used as I can’t see them within the Godox packs available to buy, thank you
I wanted to ask the same. I'm fighting to create my own ones for the AK-R21. I don't understand, why isn't there an official kit with the "right" gobos/slides. @GavinHoey Can you guide us please, from where can we get "normal pattern" (like window, simple circle, the first pattern on Chloe's face etc.) slides/gobos?
I'm using a TetherTools orange USB2 cable to connect my camera to my Lenovo Miix 2 in 1 Laptop / Tablet. That runs OM Capture and OM Workspace software to download and display the images. It's a very robust and reliable system 👍
Hi, great video. Thank you for your great work, which I am following closely. I have a question about using a flash with an optical modifier combination. Isn't it dangerous for the model to flash into her eyes? Thank you for your info.
Hi Gavin, where do you get the gobos for that projector. The ones included are more like scenes. Are they homemade? Also where did you get the Sekonic orange case? Thanks
Thank you for the video Gavin, very helpful as always, but can someone tell me how to meter high speed sinc because my camera goes up to 200 then is high speed sinc…
Hi, I've a question about AK-R21.. Is the 65mm stock lens usable to project patterns on the model's skin (like Gavin samples) or 50mm is better? Thank a lot!
When I look up this projector with you link - I don't see where to get the gobo slides - I see the other sliders available but where do you get the geometric shapes and lines that you were using? -PD
You’ll probably not see this but if you do could you tell me what the projector is with the speed flash in. I cannot find it on line, and I cannot see it on your product list. Thanks
So I rendered the projector you used in this demo but where did you get the blinds look transparency? In none of the slide available even from GODOX they don't seem to have them.
Excellent video again! Question regarding the model´s hair against the white background. It is very easy to loose the detail in the hair when trying to make white background white. I saw some loss of detail already in this video. It becomes even harder if model moves slightly backward and forwards (for example when photographing kids). So the question is that is it really good to have same f-stop at the back of the model as in the front?
Where can we get those gobos for the AK-R21? I have the kit, but I'm struggling to get the right pattern gobos/folies. I'm trying to print to myself by creating with vector graphics, but the (print) quality is not 100%, so I'm not satisified. Could anyone find the right pattern gobos for this kit? Where can we get them? Any help would be appriciated. Thanks.
For the AKR-21, I see on Adorama's site that there are several lens options, including 50mm, 65mm, and 85mm. What do those different lens options do for the projector?
In my mentors old studio I use to shoot on black exclusively ..background for the dancers was a pure black. I realized a few years later it must have been that the drapes were a pure black thick velvet...when I moved I used a different set of black drapes...lesser quality velvet and the black wasnt as deep..I guess this had to do with absorbtion.
But, but, but... It's only Tuesday! I thought "waow, they have gobos for the AK-R21, now", then I saw that you are using discontinued stuff. So, please Adorama, Godox, anybody, make them available, please. TIA.
How about using a lighted scrim as a clipped white background. Meter across all the background to verify an even clipped lighting. Meter back of subject to verify background lighting is far enough back that it has not reached the subject. Finally add light to subject. The other unspoken bug-a-boo in any small studio is inverse square law. Tomorrow-tomorrow-tomorrow.
I am amazed everytime how professional Gevin is ! Hell of a good teacher 🔥
the comparison of black and white with the text was genious
Watching this channel, I have learned a lot about advance lighting. Kudos to Gavin and Adorama for great content.
I can't express enough how helpful Gavin's lighting videos are - clear, easy to follow, and always motivating! Very thankful for his content 🙏🏻
Gavin is charming, as always.

I need that, " gobo"! 😐
Thanks for the great work Gavin Hoey. 😊
Thanks Marcus, it's oldie (the gobo) but a goodie 👍
You're early this week Gavin 😋 Always enjoy my weekly hit, another excellent tutorial. My first backdrop was grey, apparently thats the easiest to turn black or white or even coloured with gels ☺️
If you had to choose just one background grey is always the best 😉
Thanks a lot Gavin 🙏. These videos are so much fun to watch and so useful. You always make things look so easy, but I guess that’s “just” a great photographer with tons of experience knowing what he’s doing 😉
That and the power of video editing 😉
Fantastic video as always Gavin 👏 👌 👍🏻 😀 🙌
You are great at explaining what you are trying to achieve, and keeping it simple. many thanks for the many videos so far!

Hi Gavin, thanks for sharing.
Superb, thanks Gavin
Great video! I always enjoy watching your video. 🙂
As always, so very well explained and showed. Thx Gavin.
Cool as always, thanks for the ideas!
Thanks Edward, have fun with the ideas 👍
Another great video on mono photography in studio, clean backgrounds etc, well done and Thanks Gavin.
Thanks John 👍
Always a joy and of course educational 😊Thank you
Another insightful video Gavin. You make learning so much fun. Beautiful images as always 🙂🙂
Thanks Paul 👍
great video
Great procession from one light to three, really showed well what each did. Great video. Think I preferred the black background. Great use of a gobo.
Thanks Andy. Black works for me too... but then again I love the white!
Have a grey background and have any colour you want :) great as always Gavin
Gavin,you are the best
Always learn more in his every photography tutorials , thanks u sir.
Thank you so much. Love your videos and how you structure them to get the message across. I owe a lot of what I know about photography to you @GavinHoey. Thank you, and please keep your videos coming.
Thank you for the kind words. I'll keep them coming as long as you keep watching... and as long as Adorama will have me 😉
This was awesome!
I needed this the other day, hopefully I can remember it for next time! Thanks so much!
Very well done.
Aah Gavin vids seriously make the day better 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks BigZ I'm happy to help 👍
thank you .. this channel really really help me, to understand more about lighting in studio. Thank you. :)
This was awesome!! 👍excellent photo shoot!! Always very informative 👍
Awesome video.
amazing video as always!!
Love this video!
Thank you 😊
Years ago I used to worry about the numbers, then i realised they only matter in my situation, nice job Gav!
Absolutely right 👍
i havent subscribed because YOU are the only Adorama content creator, i care to see or listen to. i dont care so much about the others...
😢
Great instructional video I enjoy your style and the content is spot on, but I'd like to see some more diverse models used.
gavin and mark vallace are dictionary of photography 😊
I sold all my camera kit a few years ago. The more I see these videos the more I'm being pulled back into buying some new kit...damn you Hoey!! 😂
I know someone who can loan you some kit if you feel the urge 😉
Gavin, what is your tether set up? It looks. Like your using a tablet here and it also captures the image. Is this an android tablet on a tether USB c?

can you make a video with the projector shooting outside
Is this an older recording ore did you change back to the old light meter?
Nope, mixing up the light meters because I have two 😉

Where did you get the gobo for the Ak-r21? All is see at adorama are slides and none of the slide kits have any simple gobos in them :(
I was wondering the same thing
I wanted to ask the same. I'm fighting to create my own ones for the AK-R21. I don't understand, why isn't there an official kit with the "right" gobos/slides. @GavinHoey Can you guide us please, from where can we get "normal pattern" (like window, simple circle, the first pattern on Chloe's face etc.) slides/gobos?
I was about to ask the same question I dont like the slides available for the AKR21 but these look great.
Advance Deepavali Festivel Blessings My Brother.
Where do you get the gobos for the projector? I just see only slides available.
The gobos you used with the AK-R21 come with it ir are from other make ?
Thanks.
Txs a lot for sharing. What gear do you use for thetaring? It looks really simple but effectful!
I'm using a TetherTools orange USB2 cable to connect my camera to my Lenovo Miix 2 in 1 Laptop / Tablet. That runs OM Capture and OM Workspace software to download and display the images. It's a very robust and reliable system 👍

Thanks
Thank you for the video Gavin, very helpful as always, but can someone tell me how to meter high speed sinc because my camera goes up to 200 then is high speed sinc…
You can meter with the Sekonic L-858D or use the trial and error or use TTL mode or use TTL flash and TCM mode to convert TTL to Manual 😉
Great,why iso 200,.???
Hi, I've a question about AK-R21.. Is the 65mm stock lens usable to project patterns on the model's skin (like Gavin samples) or 50mm is better? Thank a lot!
In my opinion the 65mm is fine but you'll need to back up the AK-R21. The 50mm helps in a small studio for sure 😉
Hi@@GavinHoey!!! Thanks a lot!! Your suggestions are very clear and precious for me!!
I'll try to buy the 50mm cause I've a very tiny studio.
where can I get the gobos you used for the akr21 projector? I have the slides that come with the kit, but they are not very useful.
Gavin, one quick question: what kind of computer do you use to tether? It looks like a tablet…
That's my Lenovo Miix 2 in 1 Laptop / Tablet. Now discontinued the closest would be something like a Microsoft Surface.
Which gobo set are you using here? I can't find anything that is made for the godox AK-R21
When I look up this projector with you link - I don't see where to get the gobo slides - I see the other sliders available but where do you get the geometric shapes and lines that you were using?
-PD
Hello Gavin. Can your flash meter trigger the flash remotely? Thank you for your great tutorials!
Not with the Sekonic L-308 but I also have the Sekonic L-858D with the Godox transmitter and that can indeed remote fire the Flashpoint flashes.
@@GavinHoey Wow! That is expensive. So how do you trigger your flash with the L-308? Thank you, Gavin.
You’ll probably not see this but if you do could you tell me what the projector is with the speed flash in. I cannot find it on line, and I cannot see it on your product list. Thanks
So I rendered the projector you used in this demo but where did you get the blinds look transparency? In none of the slide available even from GODOX they don't seem to have them.

So the question is that is it really good to have same f-stop at the back of the model as in the front?
That's the *maximum* you can use. You could bring it down a little and it'd still work.
Many thanks for this Gavin (and Chloe of course) ! Could you recommend a bowens mount projector kit that would work with my godox strobes?
Hi David. Check out the Westcott / Lindsay Adler Bowens mount projector www.adorama.com/we4760b.html
Thanks Gavin, will do! And keep up the good work. 👍
Where can we get those gobos for the AK-R21? I have the kit, but I'm struggling to get the right pattern gobos/folies. I'm trying to print to myself by creating with vector graphics, but the (print) quality is not 100%, so I'm not satisified. Could anyone find the right pattern gobos for this kit? Where can we get them? Any help would be appriciated. Thanks.
For the AKR-21, I see on Adorama's site that there are several lens options, including 50mm, 65mm, and 85mm. What do those different lens options do for the projector?
There's a clue at 6:06 basically the wider the better in a small studio 👍
@@GavinHoey Thank you.

Can you do the same thing with the light blaster? Or can only the rk-21 cause its lens is smaller?
You can totally swap the AK-R21 for a LightBlaster set-up 👍
But, but, but... It's only Tuesday!
I thought "waow, they have gobos for the AK-R21, now", then I saw that you are using discontinued stuff. So, please Adorama, Godox, anybody, make them available, please. TIA.
Yes! I want the gobos too!!! Please?!?!?!

The other unspoken bug-a-boo in any small studio is inverse square law. Tomorrow-tomorrow-tomorrow.
How would lighting a scrim be different to lighting a wall?
I've done this with a big softbox. Works fine.
use grids
