High-Key Photography Lighting
On this experiment I used 2 strobes to create a high-key lighting portrait. One strobe was positioned camera right at 1/4 power through a white umbrella. The second strobe was right behind the subject (pointing towards the subject) shoulder level at full power also through a white umbrella. The backgr0und was an almost white wall which helped. I didn’t try pointing the second flash towards the wall but I believe it would have worked just as well.
High-Key Lighting (self-portrait)
On my next attempt I will try 1/2 power on the background flash to avoid the burned effect on the neck area.
Critiques welcome!

Nice. I’ll try it too. I think a little too much spill around the shoulder.

Good photo with just a two light set up. I agree with Andrew about the spill.
