The Making Of My Festive, Fine Art Background

Check out the video below where Gavin shares how he made this festive background. If you’re short on time use the one he already created here

We hope you enjoy the video and get the chance to try out the technique with your own spin on it!

If you missed it, here’s the video of the shoot we created this template for.

      This isn’t a Photoshop Action it’s a Photoshop image. If you’re having trouble installing Photoshop actions PC users can drag and dropped them onto the Actions panel in Photoshop 😉

New video is out (link in my bio). This one is all New video is out (link in my bio). This one is all about using a single small speedlight and large softbox to create low key portraits.

Low key isn't an exact science, it's more of a feeling. The tricky part is creating the feeling that most of the image is dark without actually underexposing the photo. 

In this case I used a combination of lighting, post processing and (with a little help from Jade and Sam) wardrobe.

From my current video (link in my bio). This one i From my current video (link in my bio). This one is all about why I shoot tethered in my small home studio and how I do it.

To make it a bit more interesting then just another technical video I talked about tethering while taking on a themed photo session. This was the last part of the session and involved Sam and Freya dropping pages from a very old and falling apart book over Chloe.

A little help from @adobeuk Photoshop added a few more pages to the final photo.
