I recently had the pleasure of shooting an architect and his home as well as a former U.S. Presidential Chef and one of his signature dishes. For all the images I only used one flash, but different modifiers, to light my subjects. For the Bill Lyons shoot, I used a canon 550EX flash and a 50″ umbrella for his home interiors and the 550EX and a 24″ softbox for the portrait. With the David Macfarlane shoot I used the 550EX and the 28″ softbox for both the portrait as well as the Chicken Focaccia dish. All the shots were triggered with Pocket Wizard Plus II’s.
