Light Experimenting - Self Portrait

There is a type of lighting that i've seen in magazines recently that is really simple, harsh and in the face of the model: so I thought I'd try and figure out how to do it!
I was fairly pleased with the lighting in this shot, but not particularly with the composition or pose, but from this i've learnt how to achieve the necessary lighting effect.

Here is the shot!
