First time ever doing something like this. I used two paterson lights with softboxes that I just picked up. Some photoshop done to smoothen the skin and to enhance the eyes. All help would be great
A nice cheeky look about her but her hair is a bit untidy.
Or maybe it’s supposed to be?Nice lighting MM. Nicely exposed pic. In relation to composition I would either go closer for close up or zoom out and bring in the top of her head. This kind of lies somewhere in between and is neither one nor the other if you know what I mean?. The processing has left a few uneven skin tones under the right eye. I have had this problem when using portrait professional , not sure if thats what you used?
Nice DOF and your focus point is on the nearest eye which is good
i really like the catch light in her eyes, what is the size of the soft box?
Thanks for the feedback guys
rasmith- I see where you are coming from in relation to compositon. I used camera raw from processing using scott kelby technique but i found that under her eyes became very dark so had a go at trying to fix them.kovo-The softbox is 60cmx90cm
This is the kit

Hi Marty,
Cheeky expression. With face shots, it’s usually a good idea to use lighting to help give shape to the 2-d screen or print image. We see in stereo but we have to fool the brain when looking at a print by using light and shade. You seem to have a light either side of you which is giving a fairly even light. Try positioning one of the lights so as to give a shadow and put the other (fill-light) above the camera at a couple of stops less power to control the contrast.
All best
Si
