Our lighting set-up consisted of two flashes and a softbox with continuous lighting.
My first scenario falls into the “simple” category and is really easy to set up, using two lights with umbrellas. The first light, the key, is set on a stand in front of and to the side of the subject. The second light is set slightly behind the subject and aimed at the background. It’s best, in my opinion, to mount it on a boom so it can be centered over the subject's head, but it will work nicely if mounted on a floor stand and feathered over the background. If you want a completely white background, the exposure behind the model’s head should be 2/3 stop brighter than the key. My sample set the exposure value of the background light to be equal to that of the key, and the result is a pure white background behind her head that gradually falls off to light gray toward the bottom of the image. I also set a white bookend at camera-right and quite close to the model, to open the shadows on her non-lit side.
I liked the look produced by the bookend fill card, but felt I’d like something with a bit more snap. I also wanted to give more contour to her face. I set up two strip light softboxes, one on each side of the background and aimed to the center. The lights were carefully positioned so that there was no more than 1/10 of a stop difference over the five feet of important background behind the subject. The exposure value of the background lights, measured together, was equal to that of the key. Setting the lights in this manner means the white paper background will have some detail, although very minor, throughout. Each strip light was blocked by a black bookend, to keep any spill light off the model as well as the camera’s lens. The umbrella at camera-left was swapped out with a medium softbox placed in approximately the same position. The white bookend at camera-right was removed and replaced with a small softbox that was moved a bit further back toward the background but aimed at my model’s side. This softbox was powered to be equal to the key. http://www.sekonic.com/whatisyourspecialty/photographer/articles/high-key-lighting.aspx
