She looks like Gwyneth Paltrow!

I am interested in how do you set up lighting in such an instance, or more broadly, how you approach a portrait shot like this one. Do you have professional studio lights or do you improvise with halogen lights, i.e. those available at hardware stores? How about softening screens? Please tell us more. Cheers

Nice gradation

The high-lit to shadow has been very well managed. I would like to know if this is a straight print or part of your digital darkroom experimentation. If the former...how the heck do you do it?! I agree about the lucky photographer, but she does not look like Paltrow.

Character

This is what I expected in "Jessica Again" that I viewed first and commented upon before seeing this image. I agree with Charez on this one but remain unpersuaded about "Jessica Again" that I am confident you can better.
