Create Dramatic Character Portraits with Speedlights | LIVE with Gavin Hoey

When space is limited your creativity doesn’t have to be. Speedlights are lightweight and portable which makes them the perfect choice for creating dramatic character portraits at home. Retro Rob is stepping into a classic “Peaky inspired” character look and photographer Gavin Hoey will show you how to shape and control soft but dramatic light, fake natural window light and add atmosphere using smoke all without heavy studio gear. If you’ve ever wanted to create bold, character driven portraits but thought you needed large, expensive lighting setups, this session will show you how to do it with gear that fits in a small bag. No large studio strobes lights. No permanent setup, just small flashes, simple modifiers and creative compositions. Gavin will be joined by Rob as his model, Sam on the chat and Freya on the super switcher, so join the conversation, get your questions answered live or just watch along and enjoy the show.
