Originally shot for colour, magenta on one side of the face with a blue fill light, I felt it could also work as a dramatic black and white.![]()

Without delving into a comprehensive photo critique focusing on expression and skin retouching…

I’d like to offer a tip: Your subject’s pupils appear rather large, making the irises look too small. Next time, ensure you use a strong modeling lamp on your key light, or position a small LED light on a stand next to you. This will help dilate…Read More-

The split lighting is perfect, and the separation between your subject’s right shoulder and the backdrop is well-executed. We would have liked to see a bit more of your subject’s face, and the head might be better if not as tilted. Overall, a well-executed low-key portrait.

Have you considered cropping just above the knee to give your subject more impact by making them appear larger? We’d also prefer a softer transition of the backdrop towards the right side. Fortunately, this is an easy fix in Lightroom.

We like the red cap. How about cropping from the bottom to emphasise her face and expression?

This monochrome photo is so powerful. You’ve really captured the essence of the subject and conveyed it beautifully.
