I shoot in ambient light as my strobe is powerful and will cancel out other light. I keep the room dim enough so that I can determine shadow patters using just my modeling light.
The White Lightning that I have has both a strobe and a modeling light.
The stronger light that flashes in order to snap the shutter and take the picture is the strobe. It overrides the modeling light.
In a pinch, I have even used an ordinary 100 watt light bulb as the modeling light to pre-determine my shadows.
I prefer to shoot in my studio because the setup is ideal. However, it is sometimes necessary to go on location to shoot.
