Dammit, thought I’d typed out a reply. Was going to say something along the lines of MrSmith, like maybe a strip softbox with a grid?
Anyway, I was going to put up an example of a recent shot using just a speedlight, no modifier. Not really your style, Greg, but I think it works with this style. Otherwise, I tend to use a shoot through brolly with a speedlight. Can’t be arsed carrying around anything larger, if I’m honest.
