Thanks for the compliment. The lighting for that photo was done with light from a window (to the right), an incandescent table lamp (to the far left) and a folding reflector just out of camera view to the left. It was also enhanced in lightroom. Camera was a D750 with a Nikkor 85/1.8G.
I sometimes use them but I too have much to learn about strobes.

It's always nice to see younger people becoming interested in large format photography.
Lol!

Did it come with any plateholders?
if yes, what film will you be using?
Yes, it came with 3 x half plate film holders numbered on each side from one to six. I have another half plate Gandolfi which came with two identical plate holders numbered one to four. I have one metal 5" x 4" insert (I'm keeping a look out for more) and have a box of Ilford FP4 in the fridge. I also intend to make an adapter plate for a 5" x 4" back which I have (unfortunately Gandolfi do not appear to have been into any sort of interchangeability, as the two half plate cameras have different sized backs (!) so the 5" x 4" back for the other one won't fit this one!). I also intend to build a step and repeat digital back for still subject matter.
