For those of you who messaged me about this... here are some photos that should answer your questions.
Am I concerned about the highlight on the top of the head and shoulders? No. If this were a commercial job where you simply want white BEHIND the product, I wouldn't use this lighting set-up. It'd light the white seamless directly to avoid spill onto the product. But for people photography I don't mind the spillover... as long as that light isn't too far forward that it reaches the nose.

Excellent, Fuzzy! Thank you so much for posting the pullbacks. I'm going to have to try this!

Thanks Fuzzy. This is exactly how I light my high key. I have a narrow (11') camera room and white ceilings. It works wonderfully like this!

So you don't use any direct lighting on your background for Hi key?

Rafael, I only do it if I don't want any light spill on the top of the subject. For example, if you had a bald guy that you didn't want the top of his head to be shiny light it directly.
