Some studio tips and tricks?

[kwok]

Hey guys! I'm doing my first studio shoot in a month and I want to get as much info as possible on the use of studio lighting!

I want to go for a looks like these, can anyone give me some tips on where to set up lighting for each of these and what kind etc? do I need the flash or just the lamp? Also, what kind of editing should I do to get these bright looks and clean shots?

Here is one tip for you. Buy this, have it shipped overnight since you only have a month and read it.

All of these shots appear to have been lighted using one light nearly straight on. Nothing "artful".

Yes, you use a flash, not continuous lighting.

I'm not very knowledgable about editing, but it is very straightforward. No weird stuff.
