    The second pic with snoop is with a beauty dish – 100% Check the spot like behaviour. Hints the light/shadow border on the table, the shadow on the hand and the harsh shadow corner line under the hat. 😉

    In last photo, there are two silvers umbrellas in the front, 45 degrees on the left and the other one 45 degrees on the right and a ring flash in front the face. I showed the making of 5 years ago….

    Just looked at Jill Greenberg's series. If you look at some of the other images you can make out two umbrellas and a ring flash as the front lighting. This image in particular. http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/blogs/behold/2013/08/Jill%20Greenberg/6.jpg.CROP.original-original.jpg
