Sometimes photographers get too bogged down in gear. In this B&H Photo Event Space video, portrait photographer Joel Grimes demonstrates how to take dynamic portraits—formal and informal—using a single light source. Topics discussed include types of light sources; subject-to-light distances, and how this affects the softness and spread of the light; the importance of ambient light; and the shape of the light source or light modifier. Grimes also discusses the types and uses of various Westcott light modifiers.
