More and more often in recent months I’ve been shooting executive portraits with just one light. This is partly due to a desire to try and take the simplest and leanest approach to the job as well as minimising the amount of kit I have to transport but also a recent preference for the natural daylight feel of the results that I’m getting. Sometimes however, there is just no alternative to a car load of lights. Trying to combine a human figure with Fuji’s massive Onset printer is always a challenge and next time I’ll have to come up with yet another solution but this one worked well and apart from all the heads, stands, brollies, soft boxes and grids, the only thing I needed was a 100’ extension cable - you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find a plug socket in some of these places……..

Happy Christmas!
