Your First Light Setup (in 3 steps) | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey
“How do I start with flash?” is a question almost every portrait photographer asks at some point. If you’ve just bought a Speedlight or you’re looking for a simple lighting set-up that works every time, Gavin Hoey has the perfect answer for you.
Using just a single Speedlight (or flash) and a small softbox, Gavin will take you through his three steps for simple but beautiful portrait lighting. First, he’ll set up his camera so it sees just the flash, then he gets the softbox super close to his model, and finally, he controls the background brightness by moving or feathering the light.
The best lighting setups are those that are also adaptable, so Gavin throws in a little extra excitement by adding a small fan. In doing so he shows how a simple twist can make your first lighting setup look like a professional studio shoot.
