In this short tutorial at Digital-Photography-School.com, guest contributor “sarahgirl” describes how to set up a studio portrait shoot with one light and a reflector. Here’s a tiny taste:
“I was still able to throw the wall out of focus because I used a little zoom (70mm) and had the subject away from the wall. I could have stood further back and zoomed in more to cause the back wall to blur even more. The distance from the wall also causes the wall to become darker. If you want it lighter you can move your subject a little closer to the wall.”

this is a good tutorial. But, I will like some more details about the camera and lens used and also this seems to be for professionals rather than prosumers.
