Lighting a fashion shoot with two models

I have a shoot coming up in a week and would appreciate some help preparing. Two models, MUA, 4 AB's, BD's,Softboxes, lots of modifiers. I am very comfortable shooting models individually, but have never shot two together but that is what they are after for the shoot ("Like a fashion ad"). I worry that nailing exposure on both will be tricky and would appreciate any advice or links to tutorials.
Thanks!

-Use high aperture (F8-F11) range to get lots DoF.
-Use a big light source and place the light not too close to the model to ensure you get the same stop of light within your working distance.

Do you know the inverse square law? That might be worth a google.

Yeah, big light source further away makes sense. I am wondering also though about direction. Faces looking different directions etc. and getting ideal light on each. Some of the images I have seen seem to have a left and right key light. This make sense? Doesn't feel like a single key light with faces looking different directions is going to work so well, even if I get the light falling evenly on both models.

I'm not the most qualified to give super advice but you could try glamour style lighting, the the lights are on camera axis and wouldn't be an issue of uneven lighting. Otherwise you should be able to have it off axis as long as one model isn't shadowing the other, adding a fill light is probably not a bad idea. I've seen big group shots done with lights on both sides but I guess that would kill direction if you wanted it. It might be worth checking out some photos of bands to see how photographers have lit them?

Yeah butterfly lighting might be the way to go. Through in a fill or two from the sides if the model(s) is/are out of the big light.
