It's a white room Ken, beautifully decorated and the photog was only
around 5m from his subject. He did tilt the bounce head down a
little, but I suppose he was using the incidental light from the
sides of the StoFen.
One of the chaps he was photographing was the Duke of Westminster, a
Maj Gen in the British Army (I have just discovered). The Duke is
the richest man in Britain, I think, but he didn't offer me a job.
Perhaps I'll ask him next time ... ;-)
