Lighting the "body landscape" shot

[greazyjungle]

I'm experimenting with the "body landscape" style - having trouble getting my lighting right - either too much light is falling across my subject, or too little...

I've tried constant lighting and strobe; softbox, color balanced florescent tubes (best result so far), barn doors, etc...

Any suggestions would be appreciated...I really have nothing worth posting as an example...LOL!

I would suggest grids or barndoors to my your light more directional. The barn doors provide more control, but I do like grids.

I have grids for my softboxes and I use black reflectors to control it more. I also have used a flashllight to sculpt the light where I want it.
