Some shoots don't require an elaborate set up in order to get the shot, as the old adage goes, "less is more." For this shoot, that couldn't be any more true. Our model is modern, but rugged, detail-oriented, but casual, and in order to capture that which is cool about him, we've got to get in that same mindset.

It can be said over and over, but every time an amazing photograph is published and it's learned that it's a one light portrait, jaws continue to drop. That's definitely the case with this demonstration from Lindsay Adler shooting boudoir!

Honeycomb grids are a great way to direct light in one direction while still creating a soft-edged effect with your lighting, but what happens when those grids are white?

Using two speedlights modified with Rogue FlashBender 2 XL Pro Lighting Systems set up as gridded strips, we can focus the light in a very specific area. Using a strip gives us a soft but narrow beam of light, the grid enhances that focus even more while still keeping the softer quality of light.
