>>5237990tried my hand at biting your style. i used two flashes, one on camera and a second off camera to fill in the background since my apt isn't very bright.
your vertical rope lights are much better for the background, and the color temp is much nicer.
as for the pose I was going for one where he was trying to stop falling while firing upward. i'm not 100% happy with it but it's getting late and i have work tomorrow.
