Hi there

this is a job for a client.
I have to reproduce the lightning you see on this image.
This lightning set-up will be use for both for video and photo session.

Since it looks like a hot lights,
I was thinking about going with 2 X 750watts hot lights in 2' X 3' softbox
45 degrees at 8 feet from subject on both side at 5 feet high
plus a hair light on left behind side

what do you think?

I notice the main light at about eye level.

The fill camera left is weaker.

Not much light on the top of the hair.

Rim lighting of both shoulders and hair on the left side.

The chair in the backgournd gives a hint of the light angle.

Good luck with your project.

I hope you do better lighting than what is shown.

It looks like she is sitting in a shadowed set.
