I’ve always been primarily a natural light shooter. Lugging around massive amounts of equipment for a photo shoot isn’t really my style. Then I made a discovery. If you haven’t already joined the millions of people who have discovered the joys of shooting “Strobist” style I highly recommend that you check out the website. At the risk of sounding a little infomercial-esque, you really don’t want to miss this. Basically the idea is to use small, portable, hotshoe flash units off camera, in place of strobe units. It’s simple, portable, and really really cool.

 Ok, so anyway, I have this photo shoot this week, which I’ll talk more about in another post, but I’m hoping to do a really basic one flash (with an umbrella) and one reflector setup. I’ll post more about the shoot, complete with lighting setups later in the week (After some test shots) but while surfing the web for some examples of single-light setups I came across some flicker images that you just don’t want to miss. So here’s the link to those images for inspiration, and we’ll talk more about specifics in a day or two.
