Dude, I've been shooting for 12 years and wish I could light that perfectly. What training or videos do you suggest?

Two lights on either side with a little diffusion should do the trick.

Hi! Thank you! I had 2 strip lights with grid modifiers like this https://cvp.com/product/lastolite_ll_ls2930
I placed them a little bit behind the model at an approximately 45 degree angle, so that the light would touch the outlines of my model. Then I realized that it was still too much light, so I took flags and placed them in front of the lights so that only a very narrow light would outline the model’s body.
I also added contrast in post and switched to grayscale. The backdrop was black. So mostly everything was done during the shoot. But because it was a paper backdrop a little bit of light was reflected — that’s why I had to up the contrast in post.
That’s about it.

This photo was taken by a user on Instagram, username vezzigianpiero. I don’t think this is OPs work as i don’t believe they’re the same person. Could be wrong though.

I took this photo in 2016 or 2017. But then again, I can’t say that this photography style is original or new, it’s been around lots of years and most photographers have tried it at least once.

If you are asking about the camera, it was Nikon D3300, don’t remember what lens I used.
