Stephen,
Thanks. The background light is placed directly behind the subject on a short light stand, aimed at the background. The reason you cannot see the stand is because the subject's body is completely hiding it.
I was taught that the background light should be brighter on the same side of the background as the main light is, but after trying it out I found that I prefer that it equally illuminate the entire background.
