Could you create professional headshots with only one light? What would you use as your modifier?

As someone who drags 4 Pelican cases thru airports for a headshot gig - I really appreciate the sentiment and concept of a minamalist setup. Nice video! One thing I noticed is that the shots with only the AD200 bounce, I wasn't seeing any catchlight in the eyes ? but when you added the fill with small lantern modifier, then I am seeing a catchlight - very clever!

I really enjoyed your video. I was wondering what power settings you used the lights at? 1/3 power? 1/16 power? And what shocked me was that your were using ISO1600... Thanks in advance for your efforts in building this video.
