<p>If you were to create this shot, what equipement would you use and how would your settings be?</p><div></div>

<p>my estimation would be a fairly large softbox directly in front of her (above eye level) and a reflector camera-left to open up tha side of her face and neck</p>

<p>Add to that a fan for the hair and a backdrop.</p>

<p>I think Howard's guess on the lighting is correct. The softbox is probably somewhere around 120 degrees to the right of the camera-to-subject axis and, judging from the look of the shadows, the reflector is probably a silver one. I'll skip guessing on the background (location, projection,composite...)</p>

<p>I agree on the suibject lighting. But it looks to me like they used a backdrop not location. The backgdrop is lit unevenly with the right side about a stop and a half hotter than the left. This is consistent with the suggested positon of the softbox. To avoid this givaway, position the model much farther from the backdrop and use a longer lens for prespective. This will allow even light on the backdrop and prevent spill from the main giving it away.</p>
