Great work Cameron! This is wonderfully done - very impressive. Getting a classic soft overhead light through diffusion like that is exactly how all the old photography studios did it!
In a related note... I recently visited Seoul, South Korea and was most spectacularly impressed by the work of a local photographic artist there who set made near-life-size prints in black and white of nearly all the shop owners on a pedestrian street in the historic (and very touristic) Bukchon Hanok Village.
The artist or shop is called Mulnamoo (mulnamoo.com) - and they used the same technique of a large tent (at a larger scale) with diffusion cloth as the studio. I have only found the photos easily referenced via instagram (@mulnamoo):

The work was also compiled into a beautifully printed book, from the letterpress shop across the street.
