Portrait Portfolio In A Day | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 07. 2024
- With social media now well established as the new "portfolio", there’s a never-ending need for new images. Time is a luxury, that not many photographers, models, or make-up artists can spare, so the idea of creating a whole new set of portfolio-worthy images in a single session is very appealing.
The secret to making a portfolio builder day work is all in the planning and that’s exactly what photographer Gavin Hoey did to prepare for this photo session. Gavin has three very different looks in mind and three hours to photograph them. Luckily the model was pre-briefed with mood boards and came prepared with a selection of outfits to match the three themes.
Gavin starts off with a fine art-themed session. After taking you on a brief tour of his small home studio set-up, Gavin maximizes the time by adding extra props and a wind effect without moving the lights.
After a change of outfit and lighting, the next set-up is a simple high-key look using a basic white wall as a background. Here Gavin gains some extra photos by hanging some white sheets in front of the white wall which creates a whole new look using a single Flashpoint speedlight.
Finally, Gavin sets up a silhouette profile portrait. Working in black and white he carefully positions a Flashpoint AK-R21 projector to illuminate a small strip across his models' eyes for a theatrical final photo.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! - Jak na to + styl
Gavin is like your own photography mentor in your home. Great work Gavin - enjoyed this a lot.
If takes 1 Gavin with 10+ years of experience 3 hours to get 40 portfolio-worthy images, how long does it take to get 10 such images for a rookie with 1 year of experience? 😊 Thanks for yet another entertaining, informative, and concise video, Gavin!
Actually, one of the photographers on CZcams, I enjoy the most watching since entertaining and also very informative. Please keep continuing of giving us great videos. 👏👏👏👌
Always a fan of Gavin's videos 🤩🤩 very informative and useful
The B&W images of Chloe were stunning! Brilliant setup, beautiful model!
Love watching this dude work
Every time the same result - great work, great people, entertainment and so much to learn - thank you all for your work and the fun that comes over - I dont think, I have missed a viedeo in the last couple of years and hopefully, it will go on

Amazing ♥
best teacher from adorama
Yes! This video format is just right! (As opposed to those Live Q&A sessions.)... This is interesting, pleasant, fun and above all, informative! This is the Gavin Hoey I like to watch!
Cool and interresting as ever, Thanks!!
kudos to you, Gavin! always such a great teacher and you make things look so simple. appreciate you!

Terrific video, Gavin. Three beautiful setups and a hatfull of stunning images 🙂🙂
Hallo Gavin!!!!!Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Gavin, Chloe, and Sam. Always something to learn... :)
Thanks Mike 👍
Wow! Those are amazing images. Always love your tutorials. Thank you and all the best to you on the new year!
Great stuff as always. Thanks Gav and the team! Wnen i book a model I will always try to get at least a couple of completely different looks in the session. Sometimes I go in with a specific thing in mind, sometimes there is improvisation involved but a mood/ideas board is invaluable!
Awesome Gavin & Chloe. Now that's efficiency shooting at its best 👍
Super video. Chloe's hair is always great with some wafting and wind. The post processing on first set was good. Hi-key with the drapes worked well, and the slot images were fantastic. Well done to All !
Always entertaining:)
Sin duda eres el mejor.
Un saludo desde Madrid(España)
Your portraits are always so beautiful. Gavin, I really really want to get to this point one day.
I always learn so much from you Gavin! Thank you for your down to earth explanation and for using such amazing models.
As usual, awesome video and Chloé is incredible. Good job Gavin !
Great
Awesome as usual. Thanks for consistently great content. Huge shout out to Sam and Freya, Chloe and all the other amazing models.
You are the cause behind my interest for photography Gavin sir ,i learn studio photography from u and trying to establish myself in my town, thanks a lot sir🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ace video - brilliant tips - Best Wishes From Dufftown, NE Scotland!
Thanks, Gavin for the inspiration. Of course Chloe is the perfect model for this assignment!
Nice!
💪 You 2 are so good 💪
Gavin and Chloe best together
Круто. Спасибо. Продолжайте своё творчество и делитесь опытом.
Bravo👍
I’ve watched dozens and dozens of your videos and I love the all. Your expertise as well as your personality make great entertainment and learning for many. Having said that I’d love to see a video where there are no cameras, just your and Cloey sitting down being interviewed about who you both are as people. Maybe talk about your life and the interviewee can be your wife Sam.
I follow Adorama bcoz of Chloe and Gavin
Hello Gavin!!! Excellent video!!! One of the best I've seen lately! Very good use of time! The quality of your work is impressive.
I continue learning with you!
A big hug from Argentina.

Sigo aprendiendo con vos!
Un Abrazo grande desde Argentina.
Giorgio (Fotógrafo)
Very beautiful pictures. It would be great if you showed some of the post process again.
Just awesome! Many years of experience, drive, planning, amazing Chloe, voice activated manual wind machine (sorry lovely Sam!😂) and Gavin creates a portfolio. Well, I guess we need to start calling you Dude Highness (ref The Big Lebowski) :)
Great video Gavin
Thanks Kirsty 👍
@@GavinHoey your very welcome Gavin
With the number of past shoots of Cloe, combined with these shots, Cloe should have an impressive portfolio. She is very beautiful. Thanks Cloe and Gavin. Some interesting ideas for me to borrow too.
🤩😍
I really like the look of your post processing photos. Do you have any videos that show how to get that look?
Was the choice of speed lights over strobes to help keep the setups as quick and easy as possible?
Could you make a video going over tips and tricks when creating a mood board? I am really struggling with that part
That’s an awesome video, thank you! What about same concept, but commercial still life next??
Hello Gavin, I eagerly await Wednesdays to watch your videos, which are always a source of inspiration, especially for me, as I've been taking photos for just over three years. I've noticed that you experiment with lighting setups using a mannequin head. I'm curious to know how you study the setups that you later showcase in your videos. Just to understand how to practice when a model or subject isn't available, so as not to end up repeating the same setups every time. I have a Batman action figure, but it's not quite the same thing...🤣🤣🤣
Ciao from Lucca, Italy!
Would you please consider doing a tutorial video on lighting couples(2 people) in a small studio? Can it be less challenging? Help!
Gavin I’m thinking of changing to this camera, mainly for portraits because of less weight and good eye focus tracking. My portraits are usually indoors , not massive space and I use flash. Which lens would you suggest to start with. I am currently using Nikon cropped sensor. Thanks
Hello,
Always amazed, great work!👏
Can you tell me what screen you're using to get the live picture?
Thanks
👍👍👍👍
Watching this video for a second time (I revisit many of your videos). When you used the reflector to create hair movement, were you concerned about the gold reflective side casting a gold glow on Chloe?
aaaaaannnnnnndddd ANOTHER great video.
can in come to your studio and shoot with Chloe? i need a stunning model like her
Great session.
In case that I don't have a projector can I accomplish something similas with a fresnel lens located far from the model and a cookie? Maybe the cookie can be blinds, with all but one covered?
What model is that C Stand with the short column? Thank you for yet another wonderfully informative and entertaining video!
Did you make the backdrop you used for the "fine art" portion earlier in the video; or did you buy it?
Is there a video you've done on making fine art backdrops? Thanks!
The first part is having the vision, then trying to accomplish it. When I've photographed people, I feel very rushed and can't think what to do when it's not working.
Gavin how can I keep my Ad400 from turning on the boom arm of the c stand. I try to set it over the models head like butterfly but it rotates no matter how tight I think I'm doing it
Gavin I noticed that some times you use just one hand to hold your camera and take the photo so my question is it the shutter speed, flash or something else or all of the above for you take great photos like you do without camera I shake and rotten photos ? Cheers Rick. Or the vibration reduction in the camera or lens ?
What are you using to view photos with the tether? Tablet? Are they jpeg or raw?
As always excellent and very clear, just need to find a Chloe. The one I know is only 7 years old.
What is the “black roof” thing you used called? I would like to purchase one!
It was just the black surface from a 5 in 1 reflector 👍
Who would you say you would aim this style of portfolio too?
I guess how some Adidas ad is made...10:05
First.
