The lighting, contrast and tonality of these shots is SUPERB!!! Some of the best of this type photo that I've seen anywhere.

Thanks a lot pixelwarp !

Do you mind posting a few setup shots if you have them?
I'm struggling to learn lighting techniques a bit so any help is welcome.

I'm especially interested in 1-3.

From what I can make out:
1. Softbox, camera left but sort of behind the model. And a light accenting her back.
2. 2 softboxes in a Y formation to the camera.
3. Softbox, almost perpendicular to her shoulders, but a bit farther out from the camera.

Is this close?

very nice.

Great find on the model.

Yeah that's pretty close I don't have any setup shots ...

1. Correct and yes a second strobe camera right at low power ... I had to be quick for that shot and couldn't really work much on the light... The water was too cold
2. Correct !! Y ... 45° each side of the camera
3. Correct .. close to that ! Simple low key setup ... I just love it

Good work
