Just stumbled upon this little behind the scenes clip from UK fashion photographer Steve Howdle. It’s taken out of a BBC News piece and can be viewed through their player here.

From the looks of it Mr Howdle is using one single strobe mixed in with the sun. (An Elinchrom beauty dish with a FreeLite powered by a Ranger RX pack.) On the other I hand I keep hearing more and more stories of photogs renting 40+ strobes for the single purpose of impressing clients, while 80% of the gear just stands around… not even firing. Nice to see that it can work the other way around too!

I just love these things as they always hint towards the working approach of other artists. I’m hoping to post some video footage of my shoots in the near future as well… stay tuned.
