Marcus,

I've only done a couple of these types of portraits but I treated them the same as others. I use one main light and a soft light (or bounce the light off of a white card) on the opposite side to help give dimension to the shadows.

I feel it important to use one main light so as to keep the photograph as realistic to natural light as possible. I suppose there might be a time when another goal is requested and at that time I would try my best to keep it simple.

I hope others will join in this discussion who have had more experience than I.
