Wow!
Some of these shots are lit from both sides but some are lit just over the
camera, 
Check out the catch lights in the subjects eyes! 
So a few could even have been done with a long on camera bracket with
minisoftlight such as I have.
Except that this is large format so he has the camera on a tripod and he's
holding the light high himself with his hand. That's what a few of them look
like to me. No cables to have to set up or trip over. 
But to get F64 maybe not!? If he shot brownie film he could have gone battery
powered!!! 
F16 a Norman or Lumedyne or others can easily put out!
