Here's a great reference - a poster showing lighting setups for portraits from Digital Camera World. You can probably figure out how to do this in DAZ Studio and especially now with Iray.

    Both are perfect for Reality and Luxus users.

    This is a good reference, though a few of them -- like 'Loop with a Rim Light' borderline on the silly (you don't put the rim light directly in back to shine through the ears, unless you're doing a vampire movie poster, or something). 

     As an aside, remember that all these portraiture setups rely on the backdrop for reflected light. You'll need something for an environment. A gray-toned HDRi suffices for studio ambient light, and you can use a backdrop prop if you'd like.
