I photographed 55 people against a white background for the London Cycling Campaign on Saturday afternoon (fuelled only by tea and bourbon biscuits).

Lighting info:

1 big white sheet from Brixton market lit by 2 x Yongnuo 560s at 1/8 power,
1 silver umbrella with 580ex at 1/2 power (left and high)
1 orbis ring flash on a stand with 580ex at 1/4 power (left and low - to light bike)

Learning point: It's easier to find strangers loitering on the street in the summer. It was very cold and so all the cool kids were hurrying along the street or sitting in a cosy pub. Two hours of wandering about and we found four people to take photos of. (so we retired to a cosy pub).
