<p>the best way is to use a piece of glass, this will give refection and you could see the texture of the table or what ever the subject is sitting at. You will have to play around with your lighting source and camera angle to.<br>

<p>Get a good quality stands... you will regret getting cheap ones and a stand that does not get high as others suggested. Coming from a former photo student, I can't stress enough to go for the better photo equipment because it will save lots of time and headaches. Especially when the stands keep sliding down because they wont get tight enough to hold your back drop.</p>

<p>It looks like they used a ring lite on a high key backdrop with a fill light coming from below<br />You would also have to do some work in PS to soften the skin and get rid of blemishes...<br>

I would suggest that you use your 24-70 lens with a f/stop of around f2.8-4 for starters because the left eye is sharp but the right eye is getting soft.<br>

Hope this helps<br />-r</p>
