Strobies it's what your hotshoe flash has been waiting for.
 

USING THE STROBIES GLOBE

Here we are using a combination of the Globe and a honeycomb aimed at the left hand side of the head to create a 3D image, the light falling on the background is from the Globe which is "ON CAMERA" but boucing of walls and ceiling in the studio.

Settings used

Manual mode 1/250 th Sec, f2.8 24-70 mm lens -0.7 compensation in camera
Flash on camera + 0.7 compensation flash set to Master

Honeycomb grid Flash -2 compensation on hair

This is attached to and STR117 and a COR750 light stand

Strobies lighting Tip

It is important to note that the Flashgun and globe are pointing away from the model as per the image shown on the right.

Here around 20% of the light is directly illuminating the model.

80% is bouncing of the wall 10 feet behind the photographer and also the ceiling creating a wrap around light.

Both the wall and the ceiling are acting like a large softbox.

Caution do not use walls with heavy colour's such as red etc, try to use plain white or cream walls as in this case otherwise you will get a colourcast to your images.

 

The Honeycomb is lighting the side of the models hair from the background position, it is best to use a lens hood on you lens to stop flair otherwise adjust the positioning of the flashgun to the left or further back to stop this happening.

It should be noted the the globe is facing backwards over the top of the photographer with +0.7 EV adjustment dialed in on the flashgun
