Enhancing One Light Portraits with a 2nd Flash! | LIVE with Gavin Hoey  @Adorama
Uploaded April 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
One flash portrait techniques are a great way to learn lighting in a small home studio. But if you want to elevate your one flash looks what you REALLY need is… a second flash!

In this live session photographer Gavin Hoey will share some simple 1 flash lighting set-ups but then take it one step further by showing exactly what a 2nd flash can do for your portrait photography. From hair lights to fill flash, having a second speedlight is the secret ingredient that experienced photographers use to lift their lighting looks and reduce their time in post processing.

Gavin will be joined by Sophie as his model, Sam on the chat and Freya on the super switcher, so join the conversation, get your questions answered live or just watch along and enjoy the show.
