Really liking this lighting and I notice there is light from the left of the image, and then there is a nice shadow going underneath the chin to the neck suggesting there is also a light coming from right of image.

Another bit I enjoy of this image is the gradient closest to the boots.

How do you think this lighting is achieved? I will have the same space and wish to recreate this.

My idea is, soft light with 1 stop silk on the left of the image to create that light but i am second-guessing what could be doing it on the right hand side. Could it be a strobe shooting in to the ceiling and bouncing down?

Cheers

Learning the system and deciding on either the 110mm or something more flexible like the 45-100mm

If I were to get a palm leaf on the background I would reflect a strobe in to a poly right of set and have the palm coming in on a c-stand and it would give me a nice background palm.

BUT this case looks different and I am uncertain on how to achieve the above reference and looking for some advice.

Thank you
