Experimenting with a blend of hard and soft light. Trying to get a classic look, somewhat similar to old school photos from the 50's and 60's.

Her hair is pretty messy, but I think you've really achieved the classic look!

I would crop with a bit more space on the left side. Hair is messy but I know how hard to compose it in Photoshop.
Over all I like this photo :)

Agree about some more space on the left. I keep looking for it. It feels like there’s a wall straight in front of her.

Like the exploration of the style

Yeah I agree about the crop.
Hey cropped it in pretty tight for this submission. I guess a little too tight and sloppy.

You can see the more loose frame in my portfolio thing.

Yeah, I think it would get more rate with more accurate crop ;)
I like your portfolio Chase

You are on track with the style. I saw the harsh light and to me it looked intentionally and not amateuristic at all.
