Believe you need an amazing backdrop to capture gorgeous outdoor portraits? Think again!
Join Gavin Hoey live as he takes on a simple challenge… Create as many different portrait styles in an hour, without leaving a same spot in the garden.
Along the way you'll discover how changing your camera position, lens choice, depth of field and lighting can transform an ordinary location into a series of unique portraits. Gavin will also share practical tips on using natural light, off-camera flash and High-Speed Sync to create professional-looking images almost anywhere.
Whether you shoot in your own garden, a local park or just a small patch of shade, this live session is packed with ideas you can put into practice straight away.
Gavin will be joined by Chloe 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.
