Really gorgeous and classy!  Love to know your lighting setup for this render.  Care to share?  

Thank you 
Not sure if my response deserves the Nudity tag... 

I have used three cylinders, strategically placed:

Each cylinder uses a material described by... I don't remember who, but it was here. This setup lets you control:

- the temperature of the light

- power

- and even the distance

No sphere around, background node 100% neutral (Poser's default one)

One of my default scenes uses a similar setup, with the big cylinder and an HDRI on the background node, in order to make some cool portraits. 

Quite a sophisticated approach to lighting, at least by my standards as a dilettante.

Thank you for the detailed explanation; I would never have thought of this.

Thank you 
In fact: I've started with my "Studio" startup scene:

- background node with  an HDRi
- area light behind
- the bog cylinder in front

But as you may guess, an area light behind will be visible on the ground, and instead of using a spot, I wanted to try a second cylinder.
Then, I was missing a ray of light on her right thigh, hence the third one.
