Q1. When and why would you as an art director or a photographer chose traditional portrait lighting with a main light, fill and background light for a portrait?
Answer: As an art director or a photographer choosing traditional portrait lighting with a main light, fill and background light for a portrait are choses at different times depending on the photographic outcome we are aiming for.
A single strobe, a lighting modifier, and a couple of reflectors give you plenty of options. Nevertheless, many photographers prefer the lighting precision and greater sense of depth possible with a multi-light setup.
Fill light is any source of fills in areas of shadow created by other lights. Most often, fill light is used to lighten the shadows created by the main (key) light.  Some images, especially those requiring a dramatic mood, are best with little or no fill lighting. However, most images will require some form of fill lighting to keep the image shadows and highlights within the dynamic range of the output medium.
