Are you a Lighting Detective?....(Burberry Campaign)

[ThunderRunner]

Hello All,
I'm looking to tap the experience eyes of the PF community to hopefully figure a way to recreate the lighting situations below. My question to you detective, should you choose to accept this mission, A) is what would you use to do it B)how much of the finished product is due to post?

I'm putting together
an equipment list for this weekend, and I would like to be more confident when I choose my:
1) Pack/wattage
2) Key light/modifiers(Kind/Size)
3) Secondary lighting, modifiers, fill/reflectors.
4) Lens

I am shooting with a 5d mark II and have the 24-105mm, but I will be renting from Adorama, which has any lens and a ton of lighting options.
I have mainly used profoto 2400 and 1200 packs, and am leaning that way as Adorama has a large selection to work with, but I am open to deductive suggestions. Thank you super sleuths! :thumbup::mrgreen:

I love the clarity, color and texture of this one, but is the secret more in their post process, and if so, any ideas?.



I am also creating a post for another look or two I am considering, and depending on which one is the most achievable
according to my fellow photographers here, I will pick that look.

Thanks a ton for any input!!

It's all about the lighting, but yeah, post is fairly important too.

If they were lit adequately well post processing...you know...

"Their" post processing? If those photos aren't yours, or if you don't have explicit permission to post them here, then you need to remove them from your post. You can have links to external photographs that are not yours however it is against forum rules to post images you do not have permission to use. I'd strongly recommend removing them from your post before a moderator does it for you.

I love renting from adorama. They are the best. What are you shooting this for? Although I have a 24-105 and I love it dearly for event work, you might want to get a fixed focal length lens for sharpness.

I am also seeing a whole mess of post on these images. It looks to me like the shadow was dropped in later. Something about it. Also I might suggest if you have a horizontal in the shot like whatever she has her foot on, you have it parallel to the bottom of the frame.

Also be mindful of the shadow under the brim of the hat, if you are brining a hat in to the mix.

I think adorama rents v-flats. I have seen them there before.
