Whilst this article isn't ideal, it does help to serve as a reminder when considering lighting ratio's.
Adding contrast to an image can add to the overall mood, and differentiate your images from everybody else's - giving you a unique style.
This is the effect different lighting ratio's can have on the overall image - and on a persons individual features (this is great for defined faces, but maybe not so good for a fuller face)

I do like the overall effect, and can clearly see the advantages of using varying ratio's to gain the required effect.
I'd like to try this with coloured gels and throw something else into the mix;
- maybe a colour over the camera lens and a neutralising gel directed on the face alone
- coloured gels just on the two lights which were side& behind
I think this may add a further interest to the shots?
