well, i put together the cheapest little lighting kit i could, one umbrella and stand, a 285 on a couple sync cords. i shot it behind and over me, a little to the model's right for depth. these were taken in my dorm room for a design project (advertisement) using the wall as a backdrop, however i blocked a lot of the ambient so that it would dim down the background a bit. i white balanced for the wall, so the white balance was for a shadow. this way when i put it into photoshop and white balanced his face, the background turned a pale bluish that i needed for the add layout. not the right way to do it, i know, but it works when you need pale blue. shot with my new 50 1.8 mk1, which in my experience is 100% sharper then my mk2. i'd love any crit at all.

I would just add a reflector on the right... although, with his head turned, the second one came out great!

I like the lighting - don't like the color. Crops too tight?

which was then put into an add that looked like this in rough draft form, for my fake holographic camera system company (i designed the logo too, it was a whole identity project):
