LOS ANGELES -- All the world's a stage -- if only someone would light it properly. For photographer Johnny Tergo's roving street portraits, that meant taking an usual approach: rigging up a photography studio in the passenger side of his pickup truck.

Tergo, a 35-year-old photography assistant, started snapping photos from his truck about a year and a half ago, he told The Huffington Post in a phone interview. Back then, he would suction-cup his iPhone to the passenger side window and use the volume buttons on his headphones to snap the picture. Any photos he found satisfactory would end up on his Instagram account. Tergo began adding more and more to his setup (all with equipment his friends in the rental business would loan him) until it resembled this: strobe lights, generators and a mounted camera operated by an iPad and laptop.
