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.
A grey seamless background for portraits is super versatile and the perfect choice in a small home studio. Using a simple two light set-up Gavin Hoey takes you through three ways to turn the flat great background into something with a bit more character.
Kicking off with a simple reflector for a vignetted effect, Gavin moves to a stripbox for a graduated look and ends with a more dramatic light by swapping to a snoot.
