Default Re: How would you light a Dance Studio portrait session?

I'd make a wall of light on one side of the set, using a large 6.5' x 6.5' silk. One or two strobe heads behind, lighting the entire silk. I'd want a light source as large as the subject, assuming a head to toe point of view.

On the opposite side I'd use an equally large fill card, maybe 2-4'x8' white 1/2" foam-core panels taped together vertically to make a large, self-supporting V reflector.

If I had the ceiling height of 12' or higher, I'd use a medium 3'x4' softbox on a boom for a hair/seperation light.

Finally a grid spot or large fresnel lens for a diagonal slash of light on the background.

It might look something like this....
