I saw these amazing portraits from a nat geo photographer and I'm not 100% on how he lit this...
are they two softboxes? or are they just two windows to outside?

Given that he was on-site and probably couldn't count on having power, I'm going to guess it is diffusion fabric setup in front of a bright door or entryway. ••Vancouver Wedding Photographer

I used to hate it when i would get dragged off to the department store perfume counter by gf. Now i just take the opportunity to study the lighting setups. All The best!

How would that work infront of a door? would there be dark fabric between it to stop the other light? 111t wrote in post #9299740 Concur. The secret is in the eyes.

I think they are battery powered light panels. ••Vancouver Wedding Photographer

As I can see: two strip lights each side, one strobe bottom and one on the top, two for the bg and a huge large format camera. Very similar to Jill Greenberg
