Simple yet effective single light setup for a headshot, giving life to the eyes at several angles. Wondering about the shiny board. What is holding the shiny board in place, its distance, height, size, type of surface? "mom’s Irish Step Dancing Wig catalog" interesting niche market LOL. I realize this article is from 3/08 so if no response soon thats OK hoping someone else may benefit from this question if I forget to check back after a while. Thank you for the Lighting Essentials web site. James Hello Lighting Essentials,

It was the flash/strobe. Whenever you see watt-seconds used as units (of energy in the flash), you know it's a flash. The reason flashes/strobes are used as opposed to hot lights is that they produce a very high light intensity for just the shot and then are off. If they were on all the time at that intensity, they would produce a huge amount of heat (melting many of the materials that with flashes can comfortably be used), would place impossible demands on batteries, and also they would make the main subject very hot and uncomfortable. Some high end strobes have LED modeling lights that help visualize the lighting on a full-time basis whereas the flash bulbs do the actual lighting during the shots. The hot lights have to be used when shooting video, obviously. Some photographers like them for the what-you-see-is-what-you-get quality, although the need for this has diminished with digital. These relatively intense lights make manual focusing very easy. The light intensity however is not like from a flash - you'd have to use a slower shutter speed or higher ISO or wider aperture. Cheers -- Alex Bill,

The one-light headshot of Jordan is really terrific...and creative. An embarrassingly simple question, please: Are you shooting these with the lights "ON" permanently, or as a flash / strobe? Why use one over the other? Meaning, why would you shoot a subject with a flash as opposed to a permanent light? Hi Don, I’m totally new to studio lighting.
