does anyone know what a basic lighting setup would be for a headshot? i am doing some headshots for a girl and i need a starting point for the lights. i have a softbox and some floods and a reflector disc. thanks all.
 
There's a lot of different set ups, for a head shot I would use:
Softbox off the left side of the camear, reflector on the other and background and hair lights if you have enough.
 
You should be able to use a flood, just place it from an angle behind the subject to it skims her hair.
 
Thanks for the link Alison! I have been trying to learn the very same thing.

DIRT-Thanks for bringing this up!
