How innocent: High key lighting from low angle

Duesseldorf, Germany, my photo studio, 5:30pm: We have already made some really nice low key photos of Kate’s dragon tattoo on her buttocks, but we both have much more energy. Let's think about a variation of what we just have done. So how about quickly turning our lighting into a high key lighting setup?

It makes good sense; high key lighting underlines the pureness, cleanness and innocence of our subject, which is...well...buttocks and her tattoo:

Here’s the lighting diagram of this shoot:
