I used a 10" garage light fixture with an ECA bulb as the main light and a 2x3 ft white posterboard reflector to control the light ratio between the highlights and shadows. For digital cameras, this difference between highlights and shadows should not exceed 1 and half stop.

The finger-to-the-chin pose doesn't quite work. Interesting lighting though. I would be more interested in seeing you experiment with other angles.
rembrandt lighting used with perfection. bravo.
Nice portrait.
Which camera did you use?

arsalan: Please excuse my model, he was very self concious about being photographed. The hand was supposed to cover up the area under the chin.
hiba: It wasn't perfect, I forgot to make sure that the model's eyes have 'catchlights' in them by positioning the main light accordingly.
mohib: Thanks :) I used a Canon 300D with a 70-300mm lens set at 70 mm. This is a very simple setup and I could have easily used any other camera.
