My daughter's 21st birthday was a great opportunity to get her in the new studio and take some head shots.
I think this is the first time I been able to get her to sit still in 21 years LOL. CC welcome
Thanks

My preference is to have the main light higher than eye level unless it's a very big soft light source. What were your modifiers for your lights? The shadow on the left side of her face from the hair is distracting to me.
Hi Tom, thanks, I had 12" diffusers on 2 flashes. I see what your referring to and a reflector would have fixed that. Thanks
Try to get yourself at the same level as the subject next time rather than looking down at them.
The lighting is quite flat. How close were you to the wall? Be wary about light bouncing everywhere even though you have your speedlights going through a diffuser. The closer the light is to the subject, the softer it becomes.
Look at different lighting setups like split, butterfly, loop, rembrandt, broad and short. Learn those set ups and keep testing. There's no silver bullet approach for portrait lighting and you'll need to switch to suit particular facial structures.
Hope that helps.
Thanks Wayne. I appreciate the feedback.
