Exceptional lighting - was it natural?

Thank you. No, it was an Alien Bees 1600 and a gridded octobox.

Behind The Lens

Location
In my studio
Time
This was taken in a studio so time of day is irrelevant.
Lighting
This image was taken using one light.
Equipment
I used one Paul C. Buff Alien Bees 1600 with a large gridded soft box. The camera used was a Canon 5D MKII with a 24-105mm 4.5 lens.
Inspiration
My client was a musician that sings Christian music. This pose and lightning worked perfectly to coincide with an uplifting inspirational message.
Editing
I converted it to black and white and increased the contrast.
In my camera bag
A Canon 5D MKII, 24-70mm 2.8 lens, a 70-200mm 2.8mm lens and a Canon 600EX Speedlite.
Feedback
Make your client comfortable.
