I'm betting that's nothing more than natural window light through shear curtains...

As to how to emulate it with flash, I'll leave that to those with a bit more experience.

what your looking at and wanting to achieve is probablly the post processing

not the lighting/aperture setup

but , my guess is that you could easily achieve that with a flash and umbrella

so is this just a basic expose for the room, then light up the model with the flash. then in pp at a sepia type tone and some noise. Is that the jist of it.

from what i can see.. in the 2nd picture frame you can make out a reflection of a large window.. possibly 3 small ones.. looks to me like it was shot w/ natural lighting.. then taken into photoshop or something to intensify the vignetting along with the sepia colors..

The question for you would be how much room do you have. I agree it looks like a large window bank with natural light later in the afternoon. Notice the shadow direction. If you don't have that large window light, you need some room with a few softboxes set back to emulate the window. The shadows are pretty hard, so you might need the space to pull your lights back and get the same hard shadow.

The hardest part is finding the pretty girl. After that, it's all down hill.

haha there is a model on model mayhem that wants to do a shoot like this so i have the girl lol. So if i am going to use flash since I am not sure if available light with be used would it be better to use bare flash instead of umbrellas, so i can get the harder shadows.

Been a while since I used umbrellas but I recall they do cast some shadows.

The PP also included some significant added vignetting to my eye. Easily added in Adobe Camera Raw.

It could be window light, but appears to me to be a big rectangular softbox to camera right. Likely placed in the bathroom using the door jams as a big barndoors. Also the reflection in the photo appears to show a velcro grid on tne front of the box. If that's not how the original photog did it, it is certainly how I'd replicate it and control spill.

Why dont you contact the photographer and ask him/her?

I expected to see unique lighting, but it was just basic nothing special. Like photoshop there are a million different ways to do the same thing here. Looks like some vignetting done in pping on top of it.

Use your umbrellas just back them farther away than you normally would.

maybe the answer to your question is next picture same model, same bed, different corner http://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=12493297&group_id=39956&ua=

very 70s look- like film at 1600 iso

[rushnp774]

It appears like just a single flash shot through an umbrella or softbox, then processed heavily in Photoshop. Things like heavy vignetting, added grain, monotone/sepia effect, etc. Mostly basic stuff, but it was all done VERY well in that shot, which is what makes it so good.

haha yep.
Is it the post processing you are worried about?
or is it more the lighting?

[Subfightersandman]

just the lighting the PP looks pretty basic but effective
