Our guild had a mini-seminar on alternative lighting last night. We got to take some great photographs using some unusual (by today's standards) lighting. This photograph was taken using tungsten spot lights - the kind that were used in older black and white movies. Considered too harsh for color work, they've lost popularity. However, I really like this look!
Basic three light studio lighting setup. Main light to camera left, fill from camera right, and another light on the backdrop, grazing the surface to give the shadows and highlight with all those nice leading lines.
I'll have to try some black and white conversions later, but even in color, I'm really impressed.
By the way, the model is the lovely Ms. Kelley Edmisten.
