I'll shoot everything in situ. The facility is spotlessly clean and has attractive work benches, so that won't be a problem. If I fly, i'll have to use a couple of AF 540s for light. If I drive, I can bring my monolight strobes and umbrellas. That's a plus. But the workplace is brightly lit, so some diffused flash will probably be more than adequate. Shooting digital, l it always goes well, because the results can be fully checked before leaving the premises. With film, the trip home was always a bit stressful. The job is a piece of cake. Getting there and back is the only difficult part.
