The Setup
To get this high-key portrait, we placed a 5-foot roll of white seamless paper in the background, supported by two light stands with an extender pole between them (and two sandbags to keep things steady), with a strobe aiming up to light it. We used another strobe with a beauty dish attachment and diffusion sock as our main light, just in front of our subject, and another, with a 27″ softbox, aiming up at her and filling in the shadows.
