Profoto B1 -tips on lighting a group
I have one B1 and a 5' umbrella as well as a 3' Rapid Octabox(Westcott). I am wondering how many people I can light with just the one B1. Its inside a church. I am thinking 3 rows of people, possibly 8 in a row.

Neil,
I noticed you had the B1 off axis when you lit a large group and then said you adjusted those people who were dark in post. Why not have it above the camera so everyone is lit evenly??? This is for a group shot so I assume flat light is ok.

it was a large group at an Indian wedding. I think the original article stated you used two lights with umbrellas and then you changed to a single B1 off axis
