Karl telling you how he would never do this for a client. But meticulously shows you the lighting problems he facing with the one light. And goes in showing how you can solve that problem with mirrors. Just to be aware. Every mirror is a different light source. All the different light problems he’s talking about and the fixes is his level of skill and professionalism.
