AKA the junkyard setup. This was shot in a basement where there is zero ambient lighting. Yes, I know that my "model" has messy hair...this is my daughter and we did this just for giggles. As it turns out, it didn't turn out half bad.
Light 1: Backdrop lighting provided by a desk lamp w/ a 5500K CFL bulb pointed up at the wall. I had hoped this would offset the shadow cast by the flash (Light 2).
Light 2: LumoPro LP160 on 1/8 power @ 35mm. Fired remote via Cactus v4 and shot through a Westcott 43" umbrella.
Light 3: A shop lamp jerry-rigged with another 5500K CFL bulb, clamped to the side of a bar.
PP work was single-image tone mapping in Oloneo PhotoEngine followed by a soft focus treatment in Photoshop. The results:
