Black or White Background: Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

https://www.adorama.com

Black backgrounds and white backgrounds are both popular choices when shooting studio portraits but mix them together and you have something that can really standout.

Using minimal kit and keeping it simple, Gavin Hoey takes you through the essential information you’ll need to create a dramatic split black/white background. Starting with a single 3’x2′ softbox and then adding a second flash, Gavin shoots amazing profile photos and headshots. He then takes you into Photoshop to share his quick method of enlarging the white background.
