Hi! I'm Gary, a photographer, educator, and father of three living and working in Florida, USA. I have wanted to start a RUclips teaching channel for a while to share quick solutions to persistent problems I have learned to deal with after more than a decade working as a professional photographer. This channel will contain short tutorials, product reviews, and other commentary on photography and being a creative entrepreneur. Raising a family and paying the bills with photography might also come up.
New 3MT (3 Minute Tutorial) videos weekly (mostly) on Wednesdays.
Currently working on a few other series ideas TBA.

Building Our New Photography Studio - Part 5 - The Tour
Thank you. You made it so straightforward. Subbed
This was a great video, so you use the RP for video? What’s your video settings for the RP if you do, especially since it doesn’t shoot in log
so... NOT shoot in harsh sunlight... but in shadow? ;-)
If that's what you want, sure. If it's a picture of me I'm going with not harsh sunlight. I'm just not that pretty ;)
@@GaryHughesOfficial well I wanted to point out that your video title is "HOW to shoot [...] in harsh sunlight" and the answer you are giving in the video is --> DON'T. Because when you actually shoot, you do it in shadow. You don't actually show how to take pictures in (actual) harsh sunlight ;-)
Hey Gary. Would a canon RF 28-70mm can do great head shots as well?
Certainly could be a headshot lens, it’s all relative. Depends on the situations you typically shoot in and the camera body, but it could work, sure. It’s not my preferred focal length, but everyone’s different :)
OMG the music. As a child of the 80s I can't help but smile. Serious question though - what is that cart you are using to haul your gear? Your gear list shows a different rolling bag.
Well it's been a while since I made this, but the grip bag I use now is the Think Tank Production Manager 40, the cart I use is the Rock n' Roller R3 :) The 80's music must have been speaking to me when I made this!
Appreciate this video, THANKS!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to watch :)
@Gary Hughes did you get the R5 mark 2? oh man, the settings look a lot different
No not yet. None of the new features are a must for me, but it looks cool!
I used a Spyder X Pro on mine 27” iMac. My prints come out with reds much darker. I print with a Epson P700
There are a lot of factors here. File type, color space, paper type (this can completely change the colors of an image). Printing is a complicated journey, but it’s better the more you learn
@@GaryHughesOfficial I print a jpeg file after editing the raw file and thru ps producing the jpeg. I use a paper profile to print. I use a brand new Epson P700 printer, so I have eliminated it. My iMac is a couple years old. I just don’t know where to start. I thought Spyder X Pro would sink printer, profiles and result in syncing all to match monitor. Probably wishful thinking on my part.
Funny enough, that’s still not quite enough info to figure out the problem. I know, I’m sorry about that it’s just true. It sounds like you might be missing a few pieces of fundamental knowledge when it comes to printing (and that’s okay!) so maybe I can point you in the right direction. Follow Eric Joseph and find anything you can in his methods, he really breaks it down beautifully. Here’s a great video to get you started with him. ruclips.net/user/livesBU9zNQ7nrw?si=g1OXP8rxdGSTskOR
Nice 👍🏽 also awesome meeting at Bokeh Academy
absolutely :) Appreciate you taking the time to watch too!
It’s fun to see a post in my feed that makes me smile! Thanks for the info and for sharing with us via your sweet babies ☺️❤️
You are so welcome!
What about a whole group for a company lunch in a parking lot with a food truck. Midday. No shade or tall buildings around? 😅
What about if I had someone punching me in the nuts while I did it?! JK - In the case of a group you could 1 - find a different spot 2 - use a much larger scrim (i have an 8'x8') 3 - overpower the scene with flash 4 - if the client insists on outdoors, plan a time of day where the light is likely to be better :)
@@GaryHughesOfficial Update: I lucked out and it was an overcast day! Hooray! I will not be signing up for any other lunch events in the midday sun ever again! 🤣
@@dovelyden lol, glad to hear it! Sometimes fortune smiles on us :)
too bad it doesn't do contrast or saturation
no natively, because it can't control your monitor, but it can guide you through the process of adjusting your monitor to the correct levels :)
Love the tips on incorporating Evoto! One question, for the "Full Gallery URL", does that ONLY give access to view/download retouched images? I thought it would also allow the admin/client contact to view (but not download) the non-retouched images.
It gives them access to whatever you have the Job set for :)
@@GaryHughesOfficial great!! So if I set it to download retouched only, that link will be empty until there are "-Retouched" images uploaded?
I believe so! Make sure to email support for HT details like that. I don’t do support in my YT comments ;)
Nice quick and straightforward explanation 🙌🙌
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching :)
This video is right on time, as I have a headshot photo-op set for ths weekend! Thanks for the info... :)
Glad it was helpful!
From the view of setup - is the fill light your yellow EZ box?
No it’s a light above and behind the camera :) no modifier, just bouncing off the ceiling
This was a really good video!! Thank you! 👏🏽👏🏽
You're so welcome!
New subscriber here. I have canon m6 mark II what do you suggest I can use for headshot? For event? At the moment I’m just renting out lenses since I can’t afford to buy the lens yet. 😢 Tysm
If you are looking for affordable, the RF 85mm F2 or the RF 24-105 F4 would be great choices. Check Canon refurbished for good deals, that’s where I get my lenses most of the time :)
Bidding video would be great.
Lucky you, it exists! ruclips.net/video/sKz8HaPm-No/видео.html
@@GaryHughesOfficial Yeah, sorry. I found it right after I posted comment. Thanks.
@@jhbigred no worries!
OMG! Ilove how straight to the point this is! Subscribing!
@@RMD2U I am going to spend some time making more bite-sized content like this in the future. No babble, just tips!
Thank you Gary, I’ll try it! I already use Evoto but very limited, helpful video! Magic is made simple which is great! More time to spend with family
They’ve added so much since I made this video too. Absolutely bonkers
This lens is expensive because it’s worth it. Every penny.
Agree! It's probably been long enough where we will get a version 2 before too long
I’m not sure how it could be improved in a MK2 version.
@@ronrotunno2901 making it a little lighter wouldn't be a bad thing :)
да, есть дифракция света и слишком увеличение разрешения при том же размере матрицы не приводит к большому росту качества
Отличный момент! Спасибо, что посмотрели видео и поделились своим мнением :)
Thanks! when I use the manual settings and reduce the ISO to 100 The camera doesn’t allow me to do focus and the photos appeared very dark, any idea to fix that?
No, sorry. I think there are too many variables here for me to give an accurate answer. I don't know what other settings you have changed or the situation in which you are testing. Best bet is to contact Canon support if you are having a serious issue.
Looking forward to Part 3!
It's in the works!
a white Background when the wall is white, is eays to make. But a white / black background with a grey wall that is a learning!
My dad always said that a grey background is the most versatile, you can turn it white, black, or any color you like with gels. The principle remains the same, though. Measure the light so that the background meters 1 stop brighter than the subject :)
What's your take on shooting with a 50mm 1.8? I currently have a Canon EOS m50.
That 50 will end up being closer to an 85 on that camera. Thats probably a fine setup for headshots :)
We are all running on the hedonistic treadmill... I don't know anything but have the r6mii, but just itching for the R5mii or the r3 even though I have no need whatsoever lol.. I also have good lenses already, so it would just be retail therapy to get more lol.
Retail therapy is right! I am sure that if I were more focused on video therapy R5ii would be a very worthy upgrade
What a motley crew! ❤
They sure are!
These videos SHOULD be boring - it's a "what's in my bag?" Why is it so very interesting?! Haha. Thanks for bringing us behind the curtain in your work!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for taking the time to watch :)
Stop making me want one lol!!!
Join us, Carol...joooiiiiin ussssssss - here's a link! adorama.rfvk.net/MYWaN
What made you decide on the black versus the silver?
I wanted a camera the same color as my soul! JK, the silver is beautiful, but it attracts a lot of attention. I am usually trying to be stealthy when using it and I feel like the black doesn't satnd out quite as much. Fingers crossed!
Tell me all about your FUJI X100 experiences! Let me know why or why not you want to upgrade "_
What about the limitations of the printer ? Most can only manage 300 dots per inch. on A3 size paper that needs only 14.4 MP..
Right, that's a good point. People are a little to focused on MPs I think without understanding what it really means.
As for the R3 I WANT ONE
Since I’ve made this, I’ve had the chance to use one. It’s a great camera
High end Canon sensors in my opinion have a certain look about them, i had 1D MK iii's 10.1 MP and the quality was stunning for the MP. Not sure how this all translates to printed images but clearly from your tests most of these sensors are capable of producing nice large prints. Now the R1 is going to be 24 MP so i understand this kind of proves that you don't need much more unless your cropping heavily, and to me noise is always better controlled in these sensors.
True enough, thanks for watching
So simple but so good
It’s an old trick, but still a banger
like ❤
Thanks!
If you wanted to show clients edited photos right away, would you ever shoot tethered to Evoto? Could that still work with the Headshot tool scenario?
Oh man! I am on pins and needles waiting for Evoto to add the two lines of code it owuld take to be compatible directly with Headshot Tools. I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen, but right now it's not directly compatible. I do, however, deliver same day retouched images with HT, it just doesn't exactly flow with instant delivery yet. So I tether into C1 then export jpegs just like in the video.
Well done!
Thanks!
Good stuff! I've had the Think Tank 30 for several years, but it's just a bit too short for stands. The new 40 is on my list!
It’s that “just right” kind of size
Hey Gary. Is the SpyderX Pro still the best for its price? - I know the video is quite old, so was just wondering if you recommend any others for roughly the same price.
I reviewed the Spyder and I think it does a nice job, but I prefer the Calibrite device that I use. Just looks better to me adorama.rfvk.net/21AeVA
Are you able to show us what the colors look like on your phone and do a comparison?
That wouldn’t really make a good stand alone video, but I can tell you that it looks good :)
What software do you use to send the bid?
17 Hats :) been using it for years and it’s excellent. You can use the code garyhughes if you decide to sign up and save a few bucks too!
Is there a video with this breakdown in detail?
Actually, yes Headshot Photography Gear for Travel - Part 2 Inside My Camera Case ruclips.net/video/xQ1gyRbKJSA/видео.html
Mine just broke also, and Canon said its not covered under warranty, and would cost $199 to replace.
Smallrig makes a replacement as well that’s great. Worth looking into :)
It’s horrible I’m really upset that I paid well for canon and had it working and suddenly it says first time users must register again. I’m furious
Sorry you’re having trouble. Were you able to get it working?
@@GaryHughesOfficial I haven’t yet. I haven’t had time to get back to it but will try again
Highlite tone priority??
Can you clarify the question please?
Great video
Thanks for watching!
I thought you were going to annotate the photographs like the cover of your video!
Um, sorry?
