Hi Jim – yes it does make it tricky. If you don’t have a helper or spouse that go along see if the person you are photographing can bring a friend and ask them to do and tell them you need a helper. It can also have the added benefit of helping your subject feel more relaxed having someone they know there.

So, with that in mind, it makes doing all the above that you mentioned, nearly impossible for a one-person photographer. I’m playing with all sorts of ways to point light to the model, including bounce lighting, and even using LED and Halogen lighting. Please share your lighting techniques if you are completely alone and on your own trying to shoot these kinds of pictures.

I had opportunity to practice the skills a few days later and your tips made a big difference in my images.

I have just added a short review of the Railway Museum workshop and a link to this article and your website in the October copy of Images Alberta Camera Club’s newsletter. It should be on line later this week.
