Is that lit by flash? It is really nicely done.
That to me or Randy? Both are nice IMO.
Mine is lit by two Broncolor Impact 41 Monolights (375ws each), directed into Chimera Softboxes. One 4x6 feet (fill) and one 3x4 feet (main).

WOW Nice lighting! Those two big boxes sure do the job. Looks like beautiful window lighting.
And I like that fresnel strobe! I just bought myself two olde Broncolor fresnel strobes to work into my mix

Re the self portrait, the giant lens you to my side is actually a piece of surplus from one of those projection TVs that were a thing before flat screens. It's got to be from 30 years ago, when I was too poor to afford a real projection spot. So I built a "frankenlight" that could project a 4x5 ellipsoidal pattern through the lens, with power from an ancient ASCOR studio flash head. The whole thing worked, and is still in use regularly. I had to be crazy, but then again I was young and willing to try almost anything...once.
How much power did you need for that great shot
With HP5 at ISO 400 you need less power than you might think. Each softbox was set for only 300 joules of power, so 600 total for an f/stop of f/32. Bear in mind that the light is only about three feet away from me, just out of camera range. Hence the soft, wraparound quality to the light, no different than a window. A softbox is best used at a distance about equal to the size of the box itself, or just slightly further. This gives the "wraparound" effect of a windowlight. If you use the softbox at a distance, the light quality is little different than a standard reflector. In thirty years of commercial shooting, I made a lot of money with a single 36-inch square softbox, placed about three feet away from products or people, with a fill reflector on the other side of the subject. Of course, it took me many, many years to know exactly where to place that single light.
