For that, you can use a bare flash placed behind her, to her left (camera right), at 45 degrees to her.Cartographically, if she's facing north, this flash will be south-West. You would like to place it at very low power and might wan to put a 'gobo' so that the light from this flash does not hit the camera and cause flare in the image.

Here is a rough sketch of the setup.http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6Q3v86mlmm...era-772082.GIF
