In this episode, Mark Wallace walks through his method of creating a single lighting setup with lights set in groups. This configuration allows photographers to create many different looks without needing to change the lighting setup. Mark uses a Profoto B2 as the key light and a large softbox as the fill. He adds two flashpoint strobes as kickers and a single Speedlight for a vignette.
