Having a dedicated studio space is a luxury most portrait photographers don’t have but how much room do you actually need? For example, is it possible to take studio-quality portraits in a random corridor no wider than a doorway?
That's the challenge portrait photographer Gavin Hoey sets himself when he swaps his small home studio for the adjoining tiny corridor. At just 43 inches wide (or 1.1 meters) there’s no room for a normal studio background so Gavin improvises and creates three very different looks from high key to dramatically dark and finally a hyper-colorful graphic look.
The lack of space also means Gavin can’t fit a softbox in the small space, so he creates super soft light by making good use of the white walls. He also embraces hard light for some moody images and uses an optical projector to create a circle of light. Gavin's choice of light switches between the power of a single Flashpoint XPLOR 300 flash and the convenience of a Nanlite LED for an amazingly colorful finale.
