Skilled with lighting on the go, Tommy is joining us to share his advice for shooting weddings and tips for creating cinematic lighting setups for portraiture! It may not be a surprise to most that he'll be joining us at the Show as we've worked with him for many years, but he's got some amazing plans for the Show this year!

Gavin Hoey

Gavin is another TPS regular with us and has worked with us for many years! While you may know him as an Adorama and Olympus ambassador, we have him all to ourselves for the show again this year to share a little of his expertise with us. With 250k+ YouTube Subscribers, Gavin has a huge following for his photography education and you'll be lucky enough to see it LIVE at TPS 22!

With over 20 years experience, Gavin’s career has grown from a part time job writing articles for photographic magazines, into a full time career creating video tutorials and more recently live streams about photography. A skilled portraiture photographer, Gavin's strengths lie in not only beautiful basic portraiture, but also adding a flair to portraiture with a strong theme! Join Gavin's talks every day at stand K404 of the show for some top Portraiture Lighting tips and a deep-dive on using small lights with BIG modifiers! Gavin will also be doing a big Live Stage talk on Sunday 18th at TPS too! More to come on this soon.

Jake Hicks

Jake is well known for mentoring photographers and running workshops on his impactful portraits with a particular flair for creativity and colour, and there'll be no shortage of that in his talks at the Show this year! 

Jake's work is often described as bold, vibrant, colourful and of course different. In a world where we all see thousands of images a day, Jake strives to catch his viewers attention by showcasing engaging in-camera lighting effects as well his signature highly saturated colour gel shots.

Jake has been shooting commercially for close to two decades and in recent years has also become very well known for his engaging educational content, both online with video tutorials and with his international workshops. He will be pulling out all the stops for dazzling portraiture, with gelled set-ups, handpainted backgrounds and more at Stand K404! Jake will be running at least one talk every day of the show, so make sure to stop by to watch!

Barry will be joining us on the PiXAPRO/Godox stand this year running Mini-Demos on our display stand for both product photography with light tents and turntables, plus a newborn setup with a life-like doll, to give you the chance to see the set-ups up close and maybe even try shooting with them yourself!
