Josefsberg gallery here in Portland Or. http://www.skjstudio.com/fink/index.html It looks to me like he was using a small light on camera but has an assistant running around with a big strobe slaved. I shot a Ball that way for the Portland Art Museum mainly she got behind them and gave them a hair light. But the light would inevitably blast the side of peoples faces and it just looked great! It was not pure flash on camera flash. Although i LIKE pure flat on camera flash in many an occasion. But this was 300 bucks a plate or some such thing! :) It also lights up the backgrounds which is a big deal.
