http://www.lightingmag​ic.com (external link) has some I think, and Scott sells an excellent book that will teach you about what and why rather than just saying "do this beacuse I said so". Perhaps look in the sticky threads for this forum too.

Another source of good input is Chuck Gardner at http://super.nova.org/​DPR/ (external link)

While "theflashcentre' seems to advise dual side lighting, Chuck's technique, which I have found useful and consistent, is side key and fill from camera. Try it....I think it works better...but Chuck explains much better.
