Two floodlights, one on each side of the camera., at camera  level  “flatten”  the  subject. Diffused light from above does not help. There is no contrast between the two front planes. Instead, start the lighting slowly, one light at a time. Here the  left-front  floodlight  starts  the  lighting. The  spotlight  from  the  rear  is  established. Now add the third and final light. This is the right-front floodlight that should provide only about half the intensity produced by the other floodlight. Notice the background shadow and the way it helps to separate the subject  from  the  background;  also,  notice  each  plane  of the subject has its own tonal quality, giving it shape and form. The foreground shadow, besides helping to visualize shape, tends to hold the block to the ground. 6-24
