In this video shown above, we can see how Alex Ivan has set up the wireless flashes in a way to create the dramatic image below and, as well as this, we can see the lighting conditions and maybe estimate the F Stop settings.
He placed the backlight fill in flash Mets at the top of the steps to create the highlights on the back of the skateboarder and for his key light placed a studio bulb flash in front of the skateboarder.
This photograph was taken on a Medium Format Haselblad camera 30 mm
An intense bulb flash quite far away
Fill in flash 45 degrees to the steps to create this very dramatic image
What is very impressive about this shot is that he has chosen an extremely low angled shot which has incorporated the entire skyscape as fish eye is extremely useful in taking panoramic shots. As the sky is so far away, with fish eye, distortion is minimal.

In this photograph, we can see how Sam Ashley has set up two wireless flashes using key flash and a fill in flash to create very dramatic lighting as opposed to the natural light that we can see in the video.
He has placed his key light at 45 degrees to the camera as we can see from the shadow which is evident in the video. He has placed his fill in flash at 90 degrees towards the camera , thus producing backlight on the skate board and the subject.
I e mailed Sam Ashley to ask him about his method of taking this photograph and he replied to me, telling me that he had used a Medium Format film Hasselblad 205tcc with 30m fisheye
