one way to do it with two lights... 1200 bounced from the top for general ambiance which is to be kept at proper zone - lets say 2 or 3 (doesn't need to be HMI for required level)... and the other light as 3/4 back for edge on the face. If not for glasses you could add sonething from the front for eyes janusz www.lightextreme.com

If you shooting at daylight location then I would just forget the background and left it unlit having it play with existing ambiance. I would light the subject close to what the Ambiance is (little more) just for separation. I would try not to have Subject's Light spill on Background. In Night Location... You can come up with some bounce of the ceiling for ambiance and to keep the walls white and continue in similar manner as for daylight location.... sure you will need more lights as will need to create that workable Ambiance. For standing subject it is good to have the subject at least

Natalie... it is going to be very difficult to create Low Key in tight location with white walls.. Simply not much room for all those light control accessories. You can still do it easy if you don't mind going "hard"... Hard Light... Just pin spot your action areas with fresnells... you will not have to deal with light leak like you would had you gone "soft". You will still have to use Flags (but not as many) and Black Wrap... wrap the instrument's Barndoors with Black Wrap where they leak light.

There is no reason for skin tone to be at VI... you are right.... I never thought it had to be.
