Here's a little behind the scene's peek from the Super Street Magazine shoot I did in October. The setup was a pretty random mixture of gear, because some of it was mine and some was owned by the studio. Basically what we had was as follows:

Broncolor Primo 1600 (main light, front, slight camera right. Gridded reflector with Rosco diffusion hung in front)
Profoto Compact 600 (hair light, directly above the model and slightly to the right. Normal reflector, flagged to prevent flare)
2x Speedotron OldFuckingShit lights with strip soft box modifiers (mirrored, one on each side of the model)
Huge piece of duvetyne hung as the back "wall"
Black seamless paper for the floor

I can't remember what the ratios were but it was all fairly close. I wanted the edge lights to be pretty much even with the main light up front, the hair light was I think a bit lower though. I wanted these images to look like a series I had seen in a Nike ad for Oregon Football (GO DUCKS!) A bit strange I guess, trying to light import models in a way that is definitely not "forgiving" to their figures or skin texture. But oh well! I wanted to try it anyway. I like how the came out, especially as a learning experience. The frame on the right is straight out of camera with no touchup.
