Many people don't realize this but I threw away all my studio lights about seven years ago. I started using speedlights when Nikon introduced CLS and never looked back. I can easily set up portrait type lighting anytime, anywhere. The pictures above were shot in a basement with low ceilings against a white wall. I used four speedlights to make this portrait. One as a main 1/4 power with shoot thru umbrella, one in a strip box at 1/16 power from underneath in front of the camera, one from above pointed straight up into the rafters at 1/2 power, and one in a strip box off to the right pointed back at my subjects at 1/8 power. This system is easy to use and set up quickly and allows you great mobility.
