The choice of lighting for studio portraits is wide and ever-changing. Studio flashes are a great choice, constant LED lights are getting ever better and brighter but the humble speedlight is not to be overlooked. But can a speedlight be as good as a studio flash or LED constant light?
In this live-streamed photo session, Gavin Hoey answers one of the most commonly asked questions… Can I use a speedlight and get the same results? More often than not the answer is yes, you can do amazing things with a Speedlight. But dig a little deeper and sometimes the choice of light will change how you approach a portrait session.
Gavin will squeeze as many real-world examples of replacing studio lighting with speedlights as he can into an hour. Join the conversation, get your questions answered live, and help steer the session… or just watch along and enjoy.

Apart from Gavin's nice demonstration capabilities, Chloe is such a charming, warm person, apart from being make up wizard and a beautiful model. Actually, I just watched your previous live, were somebody asked Chloe how photographer should communicate with model. So it was nice to hear a word from Chloe. Anyways, great work from all of you, pleasure to watch. Regards from Serbia...

@photoshoott2022 Год назад

We choose to use speedlights when we are at the event or have to move around a lot and then we use strobes if we know that we will be positioned or have someone model in one place or within reasonable area, without too much running around and movement from place to place. That is what we have been doing with wonderful outcome and success. Great live, might have to drop soon, but great information. Thank you Gavin.

@GoodyMorillas Год назад

what sort of stands do you use?

@mjpt57 Год назад

I'm still new to this. What's the difference between a Speedlite (Speedlight?) and a strobe? I have a number of Godox V860ii and iiiC flashes and a round head Godox with magnetic rings for affixing gels and color discs for background lighting (all of this stuff thanks to Gav's video tutorials). Still learning it all. But recently have spent zero time in the "studio" or our spare bedroom due to mitigating factors.

@photoshoott2022 Год назад

@@mjpt57 The main difference is the weight and mobility. We used strobes, the more stationary big lights, one to hold and the other to take a photo, but those are usually bigger lights, we use those with modifiers, you can see some of them in our videos. Speedlight, whichever one you use, will be more versatile, lighter, easier to place on or off the camera, which also is a key, you can carry it with you on the camera. We used different ones, but recently got some that control our Westcott lights and flash as well, so it is a flash and a trigger for our strobes. I feel in the stable situation, when you don't need to move around, strobes are more powerful and better. We use between 1 to 4 depending on what we are looking to achieve. For headshots we use an overhead strobe with big modifier and it gives us great light for a headshot, for portraits, depending, we use 2 or even 3 of them with variety of modifiers. Take a look at some of our videos if you like to see them. Hope this helped a bit.

I feel you on all that you say… I was fortunate to have been able to invest heavily into the Nikon Z bodies when they came out…Z6..6II…Z7…ZII…Z5..Zfc..Z50…Z9… the Z9 knocked them all out of the box…so I’ve traded my Z6..Z6II(w/battery grip) and Z5 … and will get the Z8… and probably the 85 1.2…no I’m not rolling in the dough… just retired for the 2nd time…last job Over the Road Truck driver(26 years) so I always wanted something to show for my hard work… so I’ve been blessed. Didn’t say all this to brag just sharing my path and love for Nikon..oh yes I have a bunch of Z Glass as well.. thanks for all your blessed.. thanks for your insights videos etc..

@GavinHoey who makes that Speedlight mount you demo at @39:00. I don't see it listed in the video description. I love the idea of a wind-on attachment collar rather than using the typical tightening knob for attaching the light stand.

@kevinwhite6176 11 месяцев назад

This is really helping me figure out whether I want to actually buy something like an AD200 vs the bargain Neewer SK300's I have (I think those are Godox?). I got them thinking mains-powered monolights would be less fuss than speedlights and batteries, and it turns out it's nearly impossible to get LITTLE ENOUGH light in my relatively close basement, so I'm taking pictures at like F/14 on my m43 camera and seeing diffraction softness and such.

That light strainer is pretty cool, it gives a similar light pattern on the BG as you would get with a much more expensive optical snoot and gobo. Nice break up of a plain background.

@contentnation Год назад

Just a tip when using those LED, turn them down to minimum (5% or 10% power) before packing them away. I'm filming stuff in slow-motion and use 3 or 4 300W LEDs. Usually I film at 100% power. Sunglasses are mandatory at that level. You don't want to accidentally blast them at you at 100% when turning on if you are not prepared for this.

@GavinHoey Год назад

That's a top tip that I'm totally adding to my collection of other peoples top tips that I'll use from now on 😉 Thank you.

@fotogfitzfoto412 Год назад

Put a cane-topper on the end of the umbrella shaft. It could prevent it poking your eye out and stop it being literally a pain in the neck.

@adelaide_locals Год назад

Do you ever do shoots with multiple people, how would you set up your lighting for that?

@GavinHoey Год назад

It's a common question and my rather unexciting reply is... the bigger the group, the flatter the light. So basically 53:10

@mjpt57 Год назад

My wife has "Red Heads" for her video work. But they're halogens and waaaay out of date. She got them super cheap not knowing that they were to be replaced by LEDs (she was getting into the game at the time). How would they go in lieu of Speedlites, or in addition to Speedlites?

@GavinHoey Год назад

A smoother upgrade path would be continuous LED like the Nanlite FS lights I used at 17:35 But if flash is the goal then a speedlight packs a punch of light and could quite possibly match the power of some halogen lights. Also consider a basic flash starter kit like the Blaz300 3 flash kit I used in last months live stream ru-vid.comwm5oXz_RJV8?feature=share&t=298

@@GavinHoey thanks mate. Will have a closer look. I wonder how much of your gear is available here in Oz.

@MolliGelf Год назад

@@mjpt57 A week late with this, but having looked for things the lovely Mr. Hoey has mentioned in the past, check for alternate names. The Flashpoint Blaz300 is sold as the Godox MS300 here in Australia and the Xplor 200, 300 etc, go by Godox AD200, AD300 etc. The Neewer brand (yes, double "e") often seem like exact replicas of Godox/Flashpoint, but as someone only able to afford Neewer stuff, be sure to check the specs before buying. I'm an absolute novice, so cheap and cheerful homebrand versions work for me, but you're going to miss some of the things you might think are mere bells and whistles around about five minutes after you start using them. For infrequent, indoor use and learning on a budget, most of the Neewer strobes, softboxes and umbrellas are perfect. Beyond that, many of their items start to reveal themselves as a false economy. Apologies, I'm a wordy little thing, I do hope at least something I've written has been of some help though! 😁

Why and what reason are you delaying the star for 3 mln it just make any sense at all Apart from that the video is always interesting Gavin but dump the 3 mins before the video starts. Never been keen on LED lights must have for video and stills product work but never on model i have more respect for the model than have her eyes straining if she looks at them to long . And where can you purchase any flashpoint equipment in the UK . You are based in the uk i hope
