This is the set up that I will be using in the studio when I photograph my shoots. The lighting on the lefthand side of the camera is called a soft-box, a soft-box is basically a light modifier. A soft-box will diffuse the light into a pleasing soft, even light. If used properly, it reduces the hard shadows which you may have. The closer to the model or subject, the softer the light appears.
The lighting that you can see above the subject on the righthand side is called a small reflector. This is basically so you can reflect the lighting on where you would like it to go. Light reflectors can come in different sizes from small to large. A larger one will make the lighting a whole lot softer but are difficult to manage when you're only capturing an portrait.
