What lights do I need to create this shot?

  • Difficult to say exactly how this was done.

    There seems to be a somewhat large, soft frontal source coming from the left of frame, above eye level.

    The two visible, warmer backlights could be almost anything: headlight; shop light:

    There could be a floor bounce in the background that is illuminating the tire rim, but it seems colder than the highlight on the tire's rubber.

    Note the bounce from the background lights off of the subject's shirt onto the subject's nostril.
