4 SBs - again, I'm unsure of the exact power settings for each, but they were all between 1/8 and 1/4.
The two challenging aspects of this shot: getting the background to stay nice and saturated - which required some serious gobo action with some cinefoil and that big reflector - and to figure out the best way to bring out the shell's color/texture, and get the chrome hardware looking good.
I'm not sure if the light directly above was the best choice, but it worked for the other shot, so I figured I'd give it another go.
