this is a really solid setup for doing head shots. a lot of light for the subject, not alot for the background. it's just one strobe, high camera right into a shoot through umbrella, with two reflectors, one horizontal and one vertical forming basically half of a box for the light to bounce off of.
so you're getting a quick and clean uplight and opposite side light, each one slightly less intense than the main light. it makes for a really soft-ish light that still has some directionality.
you can't really use this for anything more than a head and shoulders shot, though. as the setup shot shows, there's a lot of equipment in the way of the rest of the figure.
