Strobe position

Hello,
I have 2 200 watt off camera strobes with Glow soft boxes. If taking a portrait of one person, where should I position the strobes?

what look you want to get from the 2 lights ?
if i had 2 lights, i would throw in a bounce, position main light camera left or right, second light as rim opposite of the main behind the subject, and the reflector camera left or right to bounce light from the rim into the shadow area of the main.

Thank you Marc,
Should I add a third light?

if you just starting out, i would suggest to begin with 1 light and a reflector. when you easily manage 1 light and the reflector, add the second light to the game.

agree with this. set up 1 light at 1meter camera right and 2.4 meters high to center of softbox is a great starting point for a single light.

Thank you Donald,
That’s exactly what I wii do. I have a 35 inch Glow Parabolic softbox.

i would suggest to move the 35 glow para softbox further away from the subject, due to its shape it is a very strong light what can have a dramatic fall off when to close. with an inner and outer diffusor things get bit more moderate, but i still have the feeling to use about 1,2m to 1,5m distance with my 90cm parabolic softbox.
