Most likely it was taken with a medium-format camera using a 150mm telephoto
lens (equivalent to 100mm on a 35mm camera) and a big ringflash, perhaps
Norman. As I understand it, for some reason, this setup is almost a standard
for certain kinds of fashion shot; I don't know why, but guess that it shows
the fabric of her clothes better. It's actually a very hard light compared to
an umbrella or a softbox.

Far too weak to be photographing Vogue models. Unless they are very patient.
