I preface this with I normally do outdoor shoots or shoots with decent natural lighting and use that as accent. I have 2 strobes and reflectors that I can do all my outdoor/location work.
My issue is that with the recent spell of horrible weather I am having to a lot of work indoors with backgrounds and backdrops etc and my 2 lights and reflectors just are not cutting it making my images look 2 dimensional or very contrasty do to 1 light infront and 1 behind. And I really can't get the look I am looking for. Through a little experimentation I have figured out how much power I need to blow out a 9' white background with 1 light no bounce but I can't find any info on what power or ratio a kicker should be when compared to a main light.
I was planning on putting the kicker in a strip box w/ grid or use a gridded reflector and would love a little input. The light is going to stay in studio and my more powerful lights will go with me on location.
