The lighting setup is pretty basic 2-point (sort of) lighting. I used two strobes, one for key and one for fill (running here, I think, at 2.5-3 and 1.5-2), with no back light. The strobes were all with softboxes. However, there are two strip lights to illuminate the background.
The studio I am working in is cheap, and therefore relatively primitive. There isn't much of an opportunity for putting in a back light due to size limitations.
The color is all due to post processing with lightroom three. This, to me, is the big advantage of shooting RAW. I can get quite different color tones without actualy fooling with the lighting.
I was going for an old school look, so I ran the RAWS through either a bleach pass or cold tone processing setup. I just upgraded from LR1 about three weeks ago, and I must say I am happy with the result.
The last one needs more dramatic lighting, I think, although for the cheesecake style that isn't really appropriate. I was aiming for sort of a reproduction on the last on of something pretty art-deco, like you might find in stone attached to the Chrysler building or some Jugendstil apartment building here in Europe. Not there yet, but I am going to try this again next week.
