THE LIGHTING SETUP AND EQUIPMENT

Used two lights for each image -- a key light through medium sized diffusion about 40 degrees off-center, and a soft edge light (at least soft by edge-light standards). On top of that did a lot of light shaping with flags and negative fill. Then optimized color tones, curves, and textures in post.

Shot on Hasselblad H4D-40 medium format digital with Hasselblad lenses. - saids August Bradley on his blog ( read the original post here )
