Too many photographers fall into the trap of thinking better images come from buying more gear. A new modifier, another light, the latest lens. But the truth? Mastery doesn't come from what you have—it comes from how you use it. In this episode, I break down why more equipment won't make you a better photographer—and how learning to control just one light can completely transform your work. I'll share the hard truths I learned from shooting over 800 magazine covers, the biggest mistakes photographers make with lighting, and how to unlock a full range of looks using a single strobe. If you've ever thought, "I just need one more piece of gear to level up," this episode is for you. What You'll Learn: Why gear is often a distraction from true growth How to create pro-level results with one light The key principles of lighting control The mindset shift that will elevate your work—without spending a dollar Download my free guide: One Light. Many Looks. https://jamespatrick.com/onelight/
