background lights to ad depth dimension and color to sets.

It can get very complicated: Snoots, barn doors, grids, grid spots, gels, diffusers and much much more.

I am going to start using more strobes now that I am getting away from the FTV look.

I have a lot of expensive Profoto gear that I need to start using again. LOL

always Sekonic L358 and my white balance target
you should stick to what you are good at, and that is the natural light from what i have seen of the stuff you posted here..
most photographer get into a groove, they have a hard time to really change styles.
Deano is best when he controls everything and have lots of lights and scrims etc kinda playboy style i guess.. but his natural light stuff is not as good as your or Robs (imho).
