  A quick start guide to the one light setup

1) Setup your single light source (It can be a continuous source, a low power strobe or a 100 watt flash).

2) Make sure you use a very large light modifier for your source, such as this homemade light panel, a very large shoot through umbrella, or a large softbox (I like the 60 inch convertible white satin umbrella – about $38.00). But remember, any translucent white shoot through umbrella should work just fine as long as its big (at least 40 inches).

My examples below will show both my 31 x 47 inch ebay softbox as well as my 60 inch shoot through umbrella as the main light source.
