    The vanishing point tip is golden, I clone stamp / content aware fill walls and floors a LOT because I also work in a small space and had never seen this technique before! thank you so much!

    Thanks to the model Chloe for doing such a brilliant job 👍😊❤🏆✨
    I`m an enthusiastic hobby photographer and the living room is my "studio" so I`m used shooting in small spaces 😉
    For such full length portraits I mount two shoot-through umbrellas on the same light stand, one normal at the top as usual and one in the middle with a clamp. Both speedlites are in the same group and are used, regulated and triggered via radio system as a single speedlite. Depending on the situation, I also use a second such system if I want or need illumination from both sides, this is of course in a different group. The zoom of the speedlites are always set to 35mm and the dissusor caps are on their heads when I use them with umbrellas or soft boxes to avoid a hot spot in the middle.
    In order to avoid complicated post-processing, which I always try, I hide the wall and floor with a sufficiently dimensioned matt white or other colors I like background fabric that I buy as an inexpensive remaining stock in decoration shops.

    its rare that I find wisdom vs data in photo tutorials.... thank you! This will be actually helpful in my lil humble 12x12 studio. (photography pro tip... rent band rehearsal space instead of office space, 1/2 the cost and THEN you get to bump the music while working)

    You mad genius. You don't know how many different ways and vountless hours I've spent trying to clone in a floor underneath someone to extend a backdrop that is only 6 foot max height and doesn't reach below a client's feet. I did not know this was possible and it is going to be a huge boom to my editing. I also work in a small space. This has been beyond helpful

    What i love with Gavin is that his photos doesn't necessarily look like Karl Taylor/super professional shot them. That's not the point. However he gives you the basics to learn and than do your own version of it! I hate when you watch a tutorial and the end result is more like Karl Taylor!
    This video was perfect for me since I'm moving in to my own place and plan on having a staionary studio in the livingroom.

    First time watcher of Gavin Hoey. I liked this video because it reminded me of shooting in my living room and the challenges of moving furniture and the walls being slightly glossy instead of a clean smooth studio wall. The placement of radiators and outlets in my house always gets in the way. Plus I have carpet that gets in the way instead of hardwood floor.
    I'm going to try the perspective view change, and I'm going to have to look into tethering to an ipad
