I love the image, I don't have any critque, only praise. Thank you for taking the time to share and to explain your set up, it does help wannabe's like me.

The full size is simply stunning. I think I am more in awe of the amount of pixels than I am the lighting, but its a close race!

Question--you only used two lights? no reflectors? the octobank main was to the camera left and hair light was to the camera right correct? Anything else used to help achieve the lighting?

Nope. Nothing else. Just one big light and the hair light from behind and opposite the main.

The white paper and huge softbox make lighting very easy.

So Scott if I have a 4 x 6 softbox and white canvas with a hairlight I should be able to have "similar" results with two lights?

You're probably not going to get that white BG without additional strobes. I use two 12x36 strip boxes to light the BG. No other lights or reflectors on the subject though.

I personally find her expression to be appropriate for the genre of a Glamour portrait. If you think she looks mad or pissed off, our opinions clearly differ.

Thanks Jeff!

Here's another early edit in different wardrobe but the same basic lighting setup.
