Gavin Hoey
Gavin Hoey is a freelance photographer, writer and trainer of all things photographic. His work is regularly featured in photography magazines, websites and videos.
Gavin has a real passion for sharing his photography and Photoshop knowledge. In 2008 he started recording and uploading video tutorials to YouTube. These quickly gained a large following and to date his videos have been viewed over 20 million times.
In 2010 Gavin was the winner of Adobe’s “Next Photoshop Evangelist” competition and since then he has given training demonstrations in Photoshop, Lightroom and Photoshop Elements in the UK, Europe and the US.
In 2012 Gavin joined forces with Adorama as a presenter on Adorama TV, where he inspires and teaches photographers from around the world in the art of photography and post processing.
Recently Mark Wallace challenged Gavin Hoey to photograph the same model with the same lighting gear, in the same location as he did. Using just a single speedlight and a small softbox, Gavin set out to create a shot with plenty of contrast and drama. An old book and some powder were added as props and after a bit of experimentation with the light and a little tweak in Photoshop, the challenge was completed.
