thanks, and the third photo was the only one where I used the 35-70, all the others were with the Canon 200 f2.
I love the 35-70, very sharp, small and lightweight. When I need faster than 5.6 I end up using primes.
I am an amateur and I never use flash, but I am interested in understanding how it is done in well-designed settings.
Your third shot especially has great lighting. Can you describe the lighting and how you balanced the flash units with the background lighting that had to be changing rapidly while you were shooting. The effect you got is great. It appears well-lit but also very natural and I like that the background is a bit underexposed relative to the main subject.

I use 3 lights on setups like these. 2 lights I use as my edge lighting and the main light is a 48 inch beauty dish softbox with no diffusion attached.
I first set my exposure for the background usually one stop darker than an average exposure. At that point once the background exposure is set I start setting up the lights. First lights I set up are the edge lights and final light is the main light.
I test the exposure by taking a couple of shots and checking on my laptop.
These were taken with 2 godox 600 and one godox 1200pro all adjusted manually and done with HSS.

Thank you for the very clear and detailed explanation. I learned from it!

Two more, this time same subject in both square and 24:65, but the square is neutral tone and the pano has a cool treatment. C&C welcome.
Love the square one! For the pano crop, do you think it could have been shot wider? In your previous post, the pano is my favorite.

Thank you! Yes it could have been shot wider, and in fact I did, but there was too much irrelevant “junk” outside this framing and why I used this tighter image.

Tried the old EF100 / 2 on my 100sII last night, good to see it can fulfill the 100MP resolution.
These are shot at f/4 as going smaller aperture the corner vignetting become worst dramatically
