I’m doing a sort of fashion/lifestyle shoot in a cafe soon, and I was originally hoping to use some nice big 5 bulb lamps I picked up, but I’m thinking about the size and proportion of the space. I got a hold of 2 Wescott spiderlite td5 with stand and directional shades that I’ve just been dying to use. Without those, I’d just use available light and my nikon sb-600 flash with a diffuser, which I’ve used with pretty great success.

What would pull you to shoot with more or less lighting one way or another?
