Taking great portraits in a home studio has its challenges, but here Gavin shows you how it’s not as challenging as you think.
Reflectors are the perfect lighting accessory for any studio but particularly small home studios. In this video, Gavin demonstrates why the 5-in-1 reflector has a permanent place in his studio.
Gavin starts by showing how a reflector can be used to fill shadows with light, and then goes on to do a shoot using just a single flash and a silver reflector. Once done, follow Gavin into Photoshop for some black and white portrait editing tips.
