Look at the shadows caused by the chins of those models. You can deduce that the keylight is mounted high. I would experiment with your A) setup, but without the softbox on your keylight. You might be able to use just one strobe for whiting out your bg, and use the other strobe pointed at the model as a rim/hair light.
- naked strobe as keylight?OSFA
- maybe a small reflector - 7" - but you can try naked toobigtrickagain
- hmmm interesting. May I ask why? what is the difference between w/wo the softbox?OSFA
- the softbox makes for softer light, so your shadows will have blurrier edges, and your light will be "flatter"bigtrickagain
- the smaller the light source, the less evenly it lights over angled surfaces, so you'll get more distinct highlightsbigtrickagain
- so, if I use it wo the sbox, I'll get richer light? to compensate for the ones I am using on the bg?OSFA
- and wait, 'so you'll get more distinct highlights' is this something I should do or don't?OSFA
- dono about "richer" but it will be brighter w/o the softbox - maybe a stop or so.bigtrickagain
