Rainy Portraits in the Studio: Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

www.adorama.com
Making fake rain inside a studio is a great way to create an image that's very different to most studio portraits but still keeps you in total control. In this video Gavin Hoey walks you through his rain covered window set up. He's got some amazing tips and tricks that can bring the outside inside and rounds things off with a neat Photoshop trick to complete the effect.

Gavin Hoey....you sir, are a national asset in the photography world. Thanks, from Dallas.

[@hindssites]

Gavin. Your creativity operating out of such a small studio never ceases to amaze me. I hope one day you have a huge studio with a sign out front that says,' The Gavin Hoey School of Photography: Learn out to be amazing with every shot you take." In the mean time I do hope Adorama is paying you generously.

[@klausalbrecht2110]

Dear Gavin,
my Wife and me are a big fans of your videos, and I must admit I have stolen this idea. It works wonderful to put the camera on a tripod and do the focus before you water the "window". F8 was doing fine. Thanks a lot and continue your great work!
Brgds. Klaus
