To answer your question, you could very easily change the position of the camera. That's certainly quicker than moving model and lights. That works if you fill the frame with the model's face. However, you might run into two problems. First, your background may not be very big, so moving the camera could ruin the background. Second, if you're not doing a fill-the-frame facial portrait, the body position will also change. If it still looks good to you, then fine. But you may not like the look, so then the model and lights need to move. I will say this. Once you've done it, you'll realize that it only takes a second to move the lights. Ross,

Just getting into off camera flash and these are amazing! I'm just wondering why I'd reposition the lights and the model instead of just moving with the camera? Love this writeup!
