Lovely lighting.

Curios to know what the background style is / product?
How much retouching went on here. Did the photo come out of the camera pretty much in the style above, curious as Im just wondering if straigh lighting achieved this shot as Im learning.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments!

_ManWithNoName_, the background material is a non-reflective white curtain with a lot of small uneven sized holes in it. It is part of the hair saloons design so I used it for a lot of shots on that assignment.

Retouching is very subtle in my opinion. just some skin retouching, a little less saturation and then sharpening and tonecurve (in Photoshop LAB mode). Here is one original shot straight from the D300:
