how is this lighting achieved?

Is this one light source with the model in front of a white backdrop? Are there any lights shining on the backdrop from what you can tell? How much wattage would a softbox need to get lighting like this? thanks so much!!

If it isn't your photo you should just post a link, and it looks like a large single light source like a softbox to reduce the shadow.

Oops, ok. Great, thank you!

Could be an umbrella, too. It wouldn't take much wattage, a small hot shoe flash in an umbrella can do this.
