A 74" Elinchrom Octa Softbox on the left, 2 strip-banks at around 45 degrees behind her for the hair lights, one light covered with red gel hitting the black background for the backlight, one round reflector at her waist level to fill in the shadows under her chin and eyes, one giant white board on the right serving as a reflector to fill in the shadows on the right.

I'm no expert so please correct me post challenge if I'm wrong, but it seems odd that her left arm is darker than her right, though seems to have the same contrast as the right. Is that on purpose? I got distracted by it.
The softbox light is hitting her from left (her right) and I have a giant white board on the right serving as a reflector so naturally the side that the softbox is closer to will be brighter than her other side.
Oh, MAN! that would be so freakin' mean if I meant it! Sorry, I couldn't resist, but seriously this is pretty darn good :) the model has an interesting attitude about her, like "well, here i am. how do I look?" If that was what you were going for, then I'm glad for you! Now, I'm no expert so please correct me post challenge if I'm wrong, but it seems odd that her left arm is darker than her right, though seems to have the same contrast as the right.
