opinions are using a single light?

I tend to use mostly single light sources in portraiture, usually combining a single light with something to diffuse it so that it is a broad light source.

Here I used a convenient low, sloping ceiling and an index card to direct the light from the L1's built-in flash, in bounce position:

And here I used the same bounce flash capability but reflecting it with my hand ...

I find single-light source portraiture simple and effective, as long as you get the lighting set up correctly.
