I was so privileged to spend over 4 hours with this amazing man and his gracious wife. It was a birthday treat and so much fun. Gavin and Sam made my partner and I feel so welcome at their new home. We ended up with some terrific images and now have the memory of a truly wonderful day. If you ever get the opportunity to learn in person from Gavin, then please, go for it.

Simply the very best photography presenter. Appreciate all your marvels efforts and abundant enthusiasm!

Having no dancers to shoot in 2020 lockdown I turned to tabletop photography and I was surprised how all the different techniques kept me engaged in lighting solutions...LOVE your work...loved meeting you at Adorama in NYC several years ago!

It's never too early for wine. Thanks Gavin!

I love this. I hope you do more of these videos.

You taught me a lot. My Master:)

loved the inversion and the colour change defineitly something to try ( maybe a while after the bottle has being emptied 😀 Cheers !!

I raise a glass to you sir 😀👍

I enjoyed that. Thank you very much!

My "go to" videos mate.👍

Cool ideas for fun shots, Gavin. Thank you!

Could you have set your white balance for the glass to get the exposure??. Eric of Pa.

Great video Gavin Hoey

Very useful information. The light coming from behind makes a "sun dog" effect on your scrim other than photoshop, what can you do to eliminate it? The Spiffy light looks interesting. Thanks Gavin and Sam!

what tripods etc are you using for the actual make shift table ?

Blew me away with the unexpected Convex Lens Equals Inverted Offset Colors! 💥 Wow, loved that! So a 2nd glass of water in front of the 1st glass would invert back to un-inverted, huh? 😲 Thanks for another great video. Hey, P.S. I just found where you tackled this on 4.23.2020. I'll watch it now... Water Reversal Photography: Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey.

Hi Gavin - I'm trying to do some rim lighting on glassware. I have a strobe light but I can't get the wireless trigger to work. I tried using the strobe on constantly but it just gives too much light, and there's a ton of reflections of the ambient light on the glassware. Is it essential to have the trigger? Is there that much difference between a constant light source and a flash? And do you know if one brand trigger would work with a different brand light? i.e. a Godox trigger with a Phottix strobe? Thanks for your amazing level of knowledge and the fact that you've made it available to the likes of me :-)

Love your videos 👍

"What if you don't have a blue bottle?" If you're working with clear bottles, fill with water and add food coloring.

Hi, I would like to ask about your background (textured gray) is that fixed or removable? Can you share the details for that? Thanks.

could someone explain how to add the background so easy please?

Is it possible to purchase the Spiff-y light here in the UK?

Pixapro tell me that they do not sell black perspex/acrylic sheets. Do you know of other retailers, please?
