Sure here is the shot breakdown.

Nikon D800
Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8

1/250
f13
ISO100
70mm focal length

Flash camera left front at 1/16
Flash camera left back at 1/8
Flash camera right back blue gelled and pointed at rear black background at 1/2

I'll get a setup shot of the layout if you like as it's still setup in the other room
