Lighting is often perceived as a complicated skill, as a travelling portrait photographer working on both sides of the pond, I prefer to keep my equipment to a minimum. Mastering one light is essential if you wish to understand the art of portrait photography. Testifying I can safely admit 75% of all my portrait sittings have been shot with one light setups. With a single light source, and reflector or fill, you can produce enough creative lighting options, to photograph a lifetime of portrait sittings.
With nearly 200 acting credits to his name, James Cromwell has starred in iconic movies such as Babe, Star Trek: First Contact, L.A. Confidential and The Green Mile. Cromwell accepted my invitation to sit in New York back in late 2019. The portrait to feature in my Selah exhibition, creating dramatic mediative scenes of the sitters pausing to breathe & reflect. In directing James I asked him to imagine he had taken a long pilgrimage. Now reaching the end of the journey, my impetus was to capture a man of faith who is almost introspective.

Such beautiful portraits!
Thank you.
One of my favourite shots from that series. Love how simple your lighting is.
Keeping it simple is my mantra!
Extremely moody and moving image. Very powerful. I absolutely love your work!

Thank you Nelson.
Amazing work👏👏👏
Thank you John.
Thanks for sharing Rory, beautiful work! How do you get the subtle vignette on the backdrop if you only use one light? All done in post? Cheers, Peter
This was popped in post, when I travel I want to take a minimum of equipment.
@@RoryLewis thx Rory. So you have some light spill on your black backdrop and darken it later, right? All or most of your portraits on black seem to have this very subtle vignette around the head to separate the subject. I find it quite easy to achieve it with a second light, but struggle to get convincing results in post... :)
@@fraensemeier-fotografie It can be done with a snoot cone behind the subject, but in this instance was done with post.
