Without or with one flash w. diffuser. When working with portraits a lot of things have to be considered. Not only the image quality, but also workflow issues, battery consumption etc. must be considered. Using a flash diffuser for this one light set up may require quite a few battery changes during a working day, photographing 150 kids (3-4 shots of each) during a working day. Because a higher output power is needed. Also a longer recharge time between each shot, compared to a two light set up, which will require a lower power setting could be an issue. On the other hand, for a two light set up, I need two batteries at the same time.
