Hello Mike - can you expand on what you mean by 'grids'?

Re: Lighting with Grids

Grids are a light modifier that give you more precise control over the light. It also gives that hard edge lighting look since it is so directional. Here's a link to a typical grid:

Re: Lighting with Grids

Ok, I finally got time to create this lighting diagram. It's CRAZY season

Technical Info:
Main Light: 7" parabolic with grid @ f11
Fill light: 3' x 4' soft box @ f5.6 1/2 - This was coming across her body to help create the shadows.
Edge lights: Two 1' x 4" strip soft boxes @ f 5.6 1/2

Thats awsome Mike, on the nail and crisp, the ballance of light just seams almost too good! With sharp control on the model's head and upper body!
Its when I see shots like this that not only inspire me but bring you back down to earth and tell you that you have a way to go yet
Respect!
Ash.
