This photo was taken in my living room which I redecorated into a makeshift studio. In post production I did some dodge and burning on the face of the model, and processed the photo to black and white. All processing was done in Lightroom Classic.

Some EXIF data:
Model: ILCE-7RM5
Make: Sony
Focal length: 50mm
Aperture: f/7.1
Shutter: 1/125
ISO: 1250
Date: 05 January 2023

I totally agree! Sadly I only had one continuous light available while taking this shot, no strobes or any secondary lights.
