Did a photoshoot a couple weeks ago. Any critique are welcome. What can I do for a better shot in this kinda image.
Hoping for your input.
my attempt on dramatic portraits. Critique needed.

The first thing that struck me as odd is that the man's face is so dark, yet his shoulder right below that is really bright. Even if that is all done in-camera, it seems odd. Also, when back lighting someone you might need gaffers tape behind the ear so it does not light up all orange like that. I learned that one the hard way! ;-)
Probably the light from the hair light spilled to the shoulders. Thx for the tip for using the gaffer tape. will do in my next shoot. :)
I agree with joseph that the face being so dark seems strange. not sure if you were looking for a straight on shot but tilting their face a little more into the light would have added some better rembrant lighting on the face. I like using a soft reflector in the frot to fill in a little bit of the shadow but still have control in post
Nope...
If you're going for something dark and moody then I'd say your background is working against you here. Try it again with a much darker background. I'm sure you'll see a big difference.
yeah, probably shouldn't go with the grey and use black background instead. will try to do if I'm doing this kinda shot again.
