Oh, nice find, Littleguy! I see a transmitter on his camera now, so he's definitely using a strobe and a modelling light. Man, that light is so exquisitely soft. Surprising with how far away from the subject it is.
Roger that. Looks like a Profoto transmitter. So probably a decent size pack behind that scrim. And agree that there appears to be some subtractive work being done by some black panels. The studio space is quite small, so without those black reflectors there would be too much bounce and not enough fall-off on the shadow side.
The scrim setup seems an odd choice. Let's assume that he could readily choose any modifier that he wanted, I would have thought that a large in-direct octa would be the weapon of choice. A direct source would require a decent amount of depth from back of strobe to front of modifier. A scrim works best when you have room to adjust the ratios of light to scrim to subject. So an in-direct octa drastically reduces the depth of the light setup and allows maximum size of modifier and maximum flexibility to adjust light to subject distance for best results and desired level of inverse-square law. Unless he was running the scrim in front of the octa for an added level of diffusion...
Thoughts?
