“The idea was that if you wore the garments, you wore a dream, or you were wearing my photographs. What I do in photography lays flat on a piece of paper. The photograph has come alive.” explains Koto on his Facebook

No part of this video talks about the lighting set-up, title is misleading. This is a BTS of Campari photoshoots.
Mmh, that's Briese, not Broncolor, I guess... Briese Focus 77 with silks to soften the light...
