I presumed 120 degree dish reflector…but you know what the say about presumptions…
they make a pres out of U and umption

I presumed 120 degree

I would have assumed that, had he said 2/3 pi !

I presume 120mm soft box.

I meant 120cm, but I just looked it up and it was actually a 135cm Elinchrom Octa with a reverse mounted head

 

[Charles S]

Thank you. The lighting setup was a 120 octa on the left slightly behind the model and feathered, and a V-flat on the right and front as close to the model as I could get it

I didin't take a BTS image, but if there is interest I can add them in the future

That pretty much turns the 135 into a mini Indirect Litemotiv Octa 190. Interesting... Anyway, indirect modifiers seem to be used without front face often nowadays. It's unclear from the catchlight of your shot though. So was the front face there?

CFV16 30MM BLACK TSTAR DISTAGON EI F11 500CM by Nokton48, on Flickr

This Curved Beauty Reflector arrived months ago, yesterday I took out the pieces, and assembled it! It is lightweight, kind of big, but creates that nice beautiful catchlight in beauty shots. Since I'm getting all my Beauty Reflectors shored up, making this up makes good sense too. Hasselblad 500C/M 30mm black C T* Distagon Fisheye at F11. Broncolor Octobox 150 Supplemental Diffusion, Opus A2 1600J exposure. Good to use the Fishy Lens again.

If you don't mind: Any compelling reason for flipping the head around even when it's hiding behind the front face?

The strobe is firing into the reflector. It changes the nature of the light.

I'm a bit late to the party on this one. I've owned H20 P20 P45 all produce great results If I'm Honest the P45+ is the best as you can see the screen outside. but all produce great results. D

An example of the difference with the strobe firing into the reflector vs straight with the reflector. Not the gear the OP used, but it gives you an idea of how it affects the light.

Sconpho Spotlight 50mm CFV16 EI 100 F22 60mm by Nokton48, on Flickr

Testing the Sconpho Optical Spotlight, on the Broncolor S80 600J Frosted Dome. Hasselblad 500C/M CFV16 Digital Back F22 EI 100 60mm C T* Black Distagon. Trying to get more evenness of illumination across the frame, this has some brightness in the center. May repeat this with the clear dome and see if that makes a difference

+1,
You don't get a hotspot in the center because the light spreads more evently. Besides the reverse mount, the inside also has a small fabric covering in the back of the octa that contributes to the effect. The examples that Pieter12 just posted show it nicely.

I have had this canvas background for a long time. Put it up in the studio, here I have turned it 45 degrees for more interest for me.

Hasselblad Anniversary 500CM CFV16 Digital Back 60mm C T Distagon 400 Strobe Macbook by Nokton48, on Flickr

At last the Macbook Pro is tethered to the CFV16 Hasselblad Digital Back. Broncolor PC Cord works good with Zeiss Hasselblad 60mm C T* Distagon. So I have the additional CFV16 cords from a Digital dealer. Now it's complete and Phocus from Hasselblad is loaded, and Hasselblad still supports this Olde original model from the middle 2000's. It's very friendly and easy to use, love the files right out of it. This is lit from 1600J Modeling light Only Broncolor Octobox 150 with Supplemental Grid, for harder more directed light. 3x4 Foamcore just off camera right for fill.

Broncolor Olde Ringlight CFV16 60mm F13.5 Apus A2 6.5 by Nokton48, on Flickr

Back to the 1980's My stand-in "Shirley" gets the high fashion light treatment LOL. Broncolor Olde Ringlight, connected to Apus A2 Pack at 6.5 power, gets me F13.5 with the CFV16 Hasselblad Back at Ei 50. Distinctive ringlight shadows behind, this will be great for me as a frontal "fill" light. 60mm F3.5 C T* Distagon Anniversary 500C/M. Love the Broncolor blue.
