Ted,

Do you light jobs or is it totally available? Even for executive
portraiture? Just curious. Especially about color balance (unless b&w)
or some sort of shape to the lighting other than what's there. Sometimes
I'm in situations that are just butt ugly when it comes to the existing
lighting, especially fluorescent. I tend to light at this point just to
make it interesting or to avoid color shifts. Anyway, curious about your
technique.
