Hot Light vs. Strobe

Can anyone explain this to me?  Photographers?  Film makers?  Why would this particular photographer use a hot light instead of a strobe to photograph this model?  Is he using it to diminish shadows around the face?  From this distance?  Is he using it as a fill light?  Wouldn’t a reflector do that?  Strange.  I want to learn more about his reasoning.  I should have asked him but he was working and I felt intimidated by the crew who surrounded him.  I’ve got stop being intimidated, and get some balls…so to speak.

This image was taken on 3rd street, Santa Monica, California.
