Jimmy D,
When working with big groups like this it's not easy to do multiple lights since the guys have the models moving all over. You end up with hair lights bouncing off hips or missing entirely when they want completly different poses. The idea is to try and set the light, or lights to cover a pretty wide working area that will give solid results and show off the different lights and how they do give different effects whether softbox or beauty dish etc.
In this case we had one area using 2 lights and one with a 4 light setup. On the 4 light setup whenever they had the model move forward, and would properly expose the model, the background would go darker. This was actually a good lesson to show some of them as you move her forward or backward you could control the background exposure as well, With such a big group I don't know if everyone had a chance to learn that one.
Hopefully everbody went away with some great shots and learned to work with the light and how it effected the models by moving one or both which is encouraged.
It's a much different world than one model, one photographer.
Thanks
