the flash set up is simple.....one on each side.....both low power (1/16 to 1/64 range), with one being about half the power of the primary. get the diffusers as close to the subject as possible to avoid hot spots. once i have a repeatable process that i'm fully happy with, i'll share it with you.

i use yongnuo and godox speedlights but i'm going to grab a couple of these:
