To answer that question of which one is which. The first image is with the continuous halogen lighting and the second one is with strobes. The white balance was set at tungsten on the halogen lights and daylight on the second image. As for shutter speeds. With my 50mm 1.8 lens I was able to shoot the first image at 1/320th of a second at f/2.2 at 200 iso, and with the strobes my camera syncs at 1/200th of a second no matter what f/stop is used. I can see what the light and shadows are doing with the halogen lights before the shot is taken and with strobes I usually don't know for certain until after the shot is taken since modeling lights are not a true representation of the outcome. The halogen lights are always warmer when I use them as compared to the strobes but keep in mind that these are two different models here with different skin tones to begin with.
