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.
The usual theory for softbox placement is that it should be in front of your model but with a larger softbox you have a lot more flexibility. In this video Gavin Hoey demonstrates what happens when your softbox moves from in front to behind your subject.
Using an EZbox 16×48″ stripbox and keeping the model a fixed distance from the studio background, Gavin suggests four possible placements and takes you through how it effects his shot. He then puts that theory to the test in a portrait shoot.
