I'm curious to see if exactly how I lit this is easily figured out by experts, or if this could have been lit in a lot of ways, and it's not so easy to nail. So, what kind of lighting was used for this? I'll let ya know when it's been guessed. smile

Lit with the main light about 45 degrees to the right of the camera and somewhat high.  Seems a bit harsh.  Could be continuous lighting or a soft box that is a bit too close (or bright) to the model.

But just one worthless opinion.

Yep! Pretty much.
Single 300 watt clear incandescent bulb right where you said.
Noted that it's a bit harsh (I agree)!
