Working on feathering a softbox to get fast fall off across a subject. I wanted to use a softbox to light the face well but then have the light fall off quickly, down the torso. We used my Lumopro mini-boom / lightstand combo to angle the softbox. Here, I believe that we have it angled up and toward camera around the level of the subject's shoulders.
I think that I never got the look I was going for in the past because I didn't realize how far the softbox needs to be turned to get the light to fall off this fast. It's not sufficient to be past the "edge" of the softbox. The part of the subject that I want to get no light from the softbox basically shouldn't be able to see any of the face of the softbox. We turn the softbox so that the subject's face is very much to the side of the softbox but can still see most of the face of the softbox. But by the time we get to the subject's waist, the face of the softbox should not be visible at all. Using that approach, I can more easily gauge how the light will fall off.
For these photos, we wanted to get a little more ambient. At Steven's suggestion, I tried using the overhead lights as a graphical element in the photo. In this image, I was trying to positon the subject to block a reflection that we were getting in the background. Unfortunately, that put him a little out of alignment with the overhead lights. I do like the fill light in this image better since it retains more detail in the shadow side of the subject's face.

My softbox powered by a speedlight. The softbox is mounted to the tripod with a DIY bracket made from a plumbing fitting and a couple geared hose clamps. This pic shows the SB-26 firing by the built in slave trigger.

Brian was my stand-in for the lighting/lens test shot. The 200-400mm VR was a bit on the long side for the studio...

A very nice bass landed early in the morning. Saw it chasing the bait, casted on top of the swirl and it was done! During this last trip I had the chance to test the Lumiquest Softbox III and just loved the results. Speedlight triggered with Nikon CLS

Single light that you see in the picture -- small 19 inch softbox. A Russian-made glass is from Ikea.
This is just to show an effect of a single soft light. The background is white paper about a foot away, note that it is nearly black with a soft fall off.
