Hi Lian. That's a lot of videos! Thanks for the support 👍

​@@GavinHoey I did the same. 😂

Gavin is only THE BEST!!!

Thanks Rick 👍

Go for it Mark. It's a great one light set-up to have in your lighting tool bag 😉

Thanks for the kind words, you're spot on about working with the right model. All the pre-planning meant Chloe knew the look I was after and had the skills to make the tricky awkward and angular poses look effortless.

Thanks Mike. We had a great time shooting these. The last set was a bit different for both of us which is always exciting.

But remember you can do a lot of that with the camera. First shot, no flash, no picture.

Wise words indeed Mr Keene and I'll add to that line of thought with this reply 😁

Hi Marc. Thanks for the kind words, the final look was exactly how I had hoped / planned 😊

My first shots were my best shots, I hear you Alan 😉

Thanks Kris 👍

Thanks Stephen, I hope it was helpful 👍

Mood boards are brilliant Quentin 👍

Have a great shoot Shannon 👍

@@GavinHoey Hi Gavin. Can you tell me what kind of tablet you are tethering to, and through which software? Thanks.

I'll add it to the list Muhammad. In the meantime, try this video from last week kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j71leNx_2NHcpIE.html

Hi Fred. Super pleased to hear you learned something and you're right, we were having a great time!

You're welcome Tom 👍

Great to hear Curt. I'll let you into a little secret... the lights probably matter more then the camera 😲

@@GavinHoey oh that I realize. I do like the features of Olympus cameras. Not to mention the system is lighter. When doing air shows it’s like lifting weights with my 200-600 and 100-400

@@curtisclement Ah right, airshows. Now there's a superb example of when what camera you use really DOES matter and OM System (Olympus) has a big little advantage 😁

Thanks Alan. Secret top bonus tip. You can skip a lot of the inverse square law bits and some of the post processing by changing just one thing... getting a MUCH bigger studio 😉

Thanks Jeff 👍

Thanks Paul 👍

Thanks Patty 👍

You're welcome Ted 👍

Hi Nicoló. Although I have quite a few LED's for video in the studio AND I've tried many LED's for stills photography, I'm still slightly sceptical about LED's for general portraits. They're just not as bright as flash, so I have to crank up the ISO or open the aperture, or slow the shutter. The brighter they are the less comfortable it is for the model to work in them and their pupils close down as the light levels goes up. There's also a rhythm to flash that I don't always get with LED's. Good models know to change pose after each flash and that gets lost with LED. However... None of the above is a good enough reason to NEVER use LED for portraits and I'm ALWAYS looking for better options, so watch this space 😉

@@GavinHoey Thanks Gavin for the answer and I find your considerations absolutely right, which is why I was looking for suggestions on this from an expert like you. I stay connected and thanks to all the Adorama staff 🤗

Thanks John. Sam got a gimble, great for video and now I have plenty of photos of Sam photobombing my scene 😉

@@GavinHoey You love it really! ;)
