Who is the photographer that only uses one light?

[renee_marie]

I saw a post here a while back about a NY photographer that only

uses one light. He has done the cover of TIMES as well as high

profile people like the President. I wanted to view his website

again but I can't find that post or his name!

 

Anyone know who he is?

 

Thanks, Renee

Platon? Albert Watson? Irving Penn? Richard Avedon? Mark Seliger? Annie Leibowitz? Gregory Heisler? Dan Winters has been known to use just one light too.

I think the one you're looking for is William Coupon

I know for sure that Francesco Scavullo utilizes a single softened (through the white umbrella) main light and that is all! To my knowledge these fashion photographer's; Maureen Lambrey, Klaus Luka, and Patrick DeMarchelier, are using single light sources sometimes a softened (soft-box) containing multiple flash heads. The closer they get with the main lights, the more critical exposure is, even softened.
