You might end up with really well lit shots but no chemistry between the subject and the intended viewer. 
Just something to think about.

What I like about Patrick is that I think he gets it. This shoot actually was not technical at all and what you will find is that many of the TOP photographers don’t do crazy lighting setups, they have a style and that style normally doesn’t require they do anything outside of what they do best. I also use a parabolic with almost all my work because I have a style. Anne Leibovitz almost always shoots with a canon 24-70 f2.8 and a very cheap light modifier on a boom arm. She uses this on EVERYTHING, all the Disney work, all the Louis Vuitton work, all her Vanity Fair work.

I gave up on worrying about equipment and crazy lighting a long time ago.

Might want to sharpen your alleged “sharp eye”…..

Most of the clothes said “his own” on the pages. This shoot is from 2009. I liked seeing it though. If it has anything to do with commercial fashion, I’m all in.
