Thanks for the replies! That sounds good. I’ll try using a large soft light close to the model, along with some negative fill on the right side, perhaps using a floppy. I may also add some black drape on the floor.

I was actually looking into exactly that, what light source would you recommend for the book light?

I was thinking maybe an ARRI tungsten bounced into Ultra Bounce or Griffolyn, with a Full Silk in front.

OR an LED or HMI source with some yellow/orange Lee filters for warmth.

However, the main thing for this look to work though, is the strong contrast with the right half falling off into shadow. How would I need my book light to be to get such a nice contrast? That’s also why I also considered something like a Kino Flo 4 Bank with a grid attached as I would assume the falloff could be nice. But I never really loved Kinoflo’s and I would assume in the reference its for sure something different.
