Yes
So here's the scenario:

A heavyishweight city magazine (think Time Out with more politics) ask you to go and photograph all the new MPs shortly after they have been elected.

They want nice portraits for web and print use with a nice clean background. You're not paying for kit and can pretty much borrow what you want. Since it counts as news there will be no post production - just cropping for different purposes.

How many lights and what modifiers do you take? Where do you put them? What camera(s)? What lens(es)?

Cue discussion about blue bleed on the background and floor shadow....
 
Love it.
That flat lighting does make those American politicians look even fatter though...
Given my own views on politicians I'm not sure that a camera would have been my first choice of weapon:)
