Zoom Your Speedlight | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

Dedicated Speedlights have a handy feature called auto-zoom. The idea is simple. The Speedlight will automatically adjust the spread of flash to match the field of view of the lens you’re using. In this video, photographer Gavin Hoey hijacks this handy feature and gets creative with the zoom function.
Switching to off-camera flash and placing the Speedlight in a dramatic side lighting position, Gavin shows how changing the zoom settings of a Speedlight can create wide or narrow beams of light. He demonstrates how to adjust the zoom settings without touching the flash and how exposure can shift significantly at different zoom settings.
After putting the knowledge to practical use on a shoot, Gavin takes you into Photoshop to add a few finishing touches.

I've been wracking my brain how to use the speedlite for months! and you explained it PERFECTLY in 8 minutes!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! You're funny and informative. Perfect combination! If you're ever in London, I'd love to meet you over a cuppa

@csc-photo 3 года назад

Honestly I've learned more about lighting from Gavin's videos than anywhere else, by far. His info & presentation skills are amazing. Thanks!

One of the few that doesn't have that weird photographer ego but is actually good! I could watch his stuff all day.

Absolutely fantastic! I love your videos and this one surely comes out on top. I have a strobe and a speedlite flash; the speedlite hasn't been used as much. Now I can use my speedlite flash more often and give it the love it deserves. All thanks to you.

i shot exclusively with speedlites until just recently. i saw your live-stream (replay) of the Flashpoint 3x 300strobe kit and picked one of them up (got the Godox, Adorama didnt have any in stock)... im so jealous that you have such a beautifully talented model in Sophie! i have no one but myself and self-portraits are no fun...

Good timing. I might need this for a specific shoot next week. Bouncing a second flash off the ceiling but I don't know yet what the heights and distances will be (not my room). The finals you shot make me think of Sophie being under a street lamp. Something else for me to play with.

Even though I am very familiar with the use of the Zoom in the Speedlights, I always enjoy watching your videos. I find you intellectually stimulating and just enjoy your presentations, along with your fabulous accent. I however have the Brooklyn/NY accent which, admittedly, is not very flattering.

@heartwarestudio4412 3 года назад

@qantas0323 Год назад

Hey Gavin, This is Anand. Your Videos are really Amazing and informative specially this video of using TTF flash as studio. Need your guidance that how effective and efferent will be using Basic manual Speedlight instead of TTF Speedlight and can such lights can be low cost solution instead of Cylindrical studio Speedlights.😀

Hi Gavin,very nice as allways.Any tutorial with old cars or motorbikes?Thank's

@charlieross-BRM 3 года назад

I would be interested in this too. Vehicles are a challenge with so many curves, highlights and materials to deal with. I do at least as much with video of vehicles parked and moving.

@tonypmedia 3 года назад

Mr. Hoey ... can you do a really quick video how you wire tethered your camera directly to your ipad?

@rudjard 3 года назад

do you need to have other software to connect you ipad as monitor when u tethered? thanks Gavin

@barkyvonschnauzer2188 3 года назад

Excellent i hope they pay u well

@Top_Gun88 2 года назад

Hi Gavin, when using something like a beauty dish where the light is initially reflected onto a central scale and then bounced into the rest of the dish, should I zoom in (So the light only hits the center dish) or zoom out so I spread it evenly across the dish even before bouncing? Or does it not matter at all at such a close range?
