The stuff you need for this setup:

• Two bed or reading lights(bulb should be the same type for the sake of right WB)
• White perspex board (I used here a 40*40 piece)
• Another white panel to use as a reflector (you can use a foam board).

Here are two suggested options to this type of cheap photography:

Take two minutes to put this setup:

1. The two lights on the sides.
2. The perspex between the lights.
3. If you want you can use the reflector on top of the lights.

Here are some results for this setup:

Only right light is on:

Only left light is on:

Top reflector and both lights are on:

There are some popular and basic setups used for portrait photography.

The paramount lighting is a very popular lighting setup for shooting female models, also called sometimes Butterfly Lighting as the shape of the shadow it creates under the nose.This lighting setup is common glamour lighting style. It works best suites models with strong cheek bones and good skin.You usually don’t use  The paramount (Butterfly) lighting setup for shooting male subjects.

Main tips for this setup:

1. Place the main light high (above the camera/lens axis) and the fill light directly under it (under the camera/lens axis).
2. Keep the light close to the subject.
3. This setup is called the butterfly because it shapes a butterfly shadow under the models nose.
4. Be careful not to place their eyes in shadow.
5. Fill light is placed roughly at head height.
6. The fill light can be accompanied or even replaced by a reflector under the face of your model,to lighten the shadows under the chin and lower cheek.

Examples will be available soon.
