Ok...so here's the deal, am very much an on-location dog photographer and never dabble in studio work, or even use flash very much. Anyways...my work want me to do a load of corporate portraits of all members of staff for our website.

I just want to do a simple straight forward shoot of each person, there are 150 people, i want the portrait to be sort of head, shoulders and torso, with a plain white background.

I have a 20D and one 430ex with a pocketwizard thingie. So i was thinking, would i get a good result with the camera in front of the model, and then the 430ex in front of model and to the side with the light off an umbrella?

I want something ultra simple and quick, so do you reckon that would do the trick? Any help would be great, as i really dont know what im doing! Eek!
 
That should work for lighting the subject but unless you light it separately your bg will be grey
 
You'll be lucky to white out a background with just one flash on it too.
