No Strobes, No Reflector, No Problem: Natural Light Posing and AI Culling in the Real World

No Strobes, No Reflector, No Problem: Natural Light Posing and AI Culling in the Real World

I shoot studio work for a living. Fashion, beauty, corporate headshots. My lights are labeled with masking tape, my modifiers are organized by size, and I have a lighting diagram app on my phone that I built myself. Control is the whole game in studio work, and I am very comfortable in that game. What makes me uncomfortable is walking out of my studio with no equipment, no safety net, and being expected to produce images that look like I brought a full kit.
