Best Way To Work With Multiple Speedlights | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

Having more than one Speedlight opens up a world of lighting opportunities but it can also be the fastest way to get yourself lost in lighting. Trying to figure out which flashlights what and how much power each Speedlight needs, gets more complicated as the number of flashes increases.

In this video, photographer Gavin Hoey has a simple, reliable, and repeatable answer to this problem… Go slow! Starting with basics such as exposure triangle and eliminating the room lights, Gavin takes you through a three light set up in his small home studio to create a cinematic, nighttime portrait complete with smoke effects and Snow (thanks to his free Photoshop Snow Fluffy Action)

Sam!! Why haven't you been modeling before?! Gavin...you need to utilize her talents more often. She was amazing!
Well done, you two.

[toshtwentythree]

Its lovely to see Sam after all this time working behind the scenes . great Video and a great woman warrior to boot...

[rudjard]

i don't understand the thumbs down...Gavin perfectly explain how "Not to mess up" when using 3 lights. A more advance lighting tutorial tho. that is one heck of a spear Sam is holding! Thank you Gavin.

[PP-fnod]

Include Sam more often - what a gem! Gavin, you are by far my favourite photographer, ... I wish you posted 8 Days A Week - Great shoot!

[teleking]

No idea how I missed this one but I found it today. Sam looks great in this! Good one Gavin!

[timd]

Literally the fastest change of outfits I've ever seen lol. Didn't realize Sam was such a quick change artist also. Fun video.

[davidbailey]

That first scenario was toe-curlingly familiar. Going around and around and eventually thinking “sod it”. Thanks Gavin - and Sam, of course.

[davidjones]

Sam’s a hit for sure...oh and you did ok too Gavin.

[wolfgangschwalb]

Finally, the wonderful Sam as your model. My untold wishes were heard. I don‘t see here as a warrior at all, but it is a start, isn‘t it? 👍😀 Very good lesson Gavin, thanks. 👍👍👍

[nathbala]

Most of the time I'm proud of my props and sfx make-up, but the spear gives me a slap in the face. Good job both of you.

[alanroderick]

Yes, the amazing Spear prop makes a return, not to mention the incredible Sam ! And Smoke !

[londonken]

What a great set of pictures, brilliant.

[joopruck]

Another great video. Thanks Gavin. I never knew Sam was such a great model! The two of you make a perfect team.

[neidermyer]

So Sam's multi-talented, she did a great job modeling for you. Great video too.
