First real attempt at a beauty lighting set up. Thoughts?
I'm still mulling the constellation of catchlights, but you aced the beauty part. Pose is really attractive. As mentioned, a dead white b/g is not the best unless you're shooting knick-knacks for eBay. Besides the blinding pictorial effect, the light is wrapping your subject to excess. I suggest a darker b/g, farther away, possibly textured, possibly colored. You can optionally reintroduce some edge lighting. Also bump the BD upward to get a more shadowing under the nose. Shadows are your friends in portraiture.
