Studio Portrait Thomas Ruff- Technical Exercises

Thomas Ruff's photography style is distinctive due to the fact that the majority of his stylised images are all shot against a solid coloured background with the subject dead panning the camera.  
Below is an example of his work.


To recreate this image I used an orange backdrop and positioned my subject facing the camera head on with two box lights poisoned on either side of him (this can be seen below).



I then placed my camera on a tripod and set my camera to 1/125, F9, ISO 200.
Below is one of the images that I shot.


As I personally find Ruff's style to be somewhat dull I decided to add multiple imagery to my photos as this was an area which I wished to explore.
Below is the final image which I created.
