I normally use a 3-4 intricate lighting set up but I love the moment where a single light is just enough. What do you guys think??
This image was simply created with a single strip box, directing the dog to face in to it. It can be a bit hit and miss sometimes to get the subject in the right spot, especially when it's not human and can't keep still as long!
Continual tweaking allowed me to capture enough outline and definition whilst positioning the light the perfect distance from the background to create a natural gradient in the colour.
Yes I could've added a reflector on the right of the dog, or a second light, to fill the shadows in a little more but I love the high contrast and atmosphere of this image. This time one light was enough for me!

Love this. It's always good to know when to stop lighting!
I agree with Rob, really like what you did with this. I wouldn't change a thing. Beautiful photo!
I'm a big fan of single lighting. This is cool
