I know Zack Arias said not to bother shooting fashion unless you are in NY or Paris or maybe seasonally in Miami (which is down the road a bit) but I'm not shooting for my portfolio. This is more in the vein of what Sue Bryce of Lindsay Adler do - shooting for their client base.
I actually think the flatter lighting is easier than traditional portrait lighting.
