3.32 - "Solid" 

For this dramatic lighting setup, I used a Magnum reflector attached to Profoto D1 and set it 3'/1m above the model's head as the key light. The Profoto Magnum Reflector is one of my favorite light modifiers because of its unique lighting quality.

For the fill light, I placed an XL umbrella with a Profoto D1 behind the camera facing the model to fill the shadows a bit.

Two Profoto D1 with Profoto Zoom Reflector were positioned behind the model to produce harsh rim light around the model's body. The dramatic kicker/rim light enabled me to contour the athlete's muscles and separated the subject from the dark background.

I placed two blackboards on either side of the model slightly in front of him to block the lens flare caused by the rim lights and create more contrast around his face and body.
