Any cc? Other than the shadow on his shirt?

woo hoo.....I looked, and the thing on the left screamed medical. I googled the name and it looks like it's a VERY COLORFUL kidney dialysis machine.

Looks like single strobe to me. Rim light would make big difference

Maybe I'll try that next time. I Have one on the side and front of him. Because I'm never sure which way they are going to be facing and just add more light on them. Thanks!

If you dont know which way they are facing, place your strobes 180 degrees apart from each other (lights are facing the centre from opposite sides) and both strobes at same power. No matter which way they are facing you always get nice separation from bg, enough light on subject and some wicked shadows. Of course you get more control if they are posing for you but for action its good trick and you dont have to worry about the lights.
Just give it a go and see how it works for you

Hi Zach,

I like this set of images quite a bit. I know this is personal preference but I like the black and white conversion and the contrast in skin tones more in this set than the last set you posted. I thought those images were great but the conversion and contrast struck me as a little odd. It could just be me but I think the overall conversion looks much better in these images.
