With this photo, the Café is entered on the right-hand side via two large windows. The window in front has the function as fill light and the window at the right has the function as profile light. Ambient lighting that hangs behind me ensures that everything is still visible on the dark side of the model.
Such an urbex-like location offers many possibilities for photographers to use as decor. And a table gives the model the opportunity to work with her hands in an easy way, so that it becomes a part of the photo more quickly and 'logically'.
It's technically good. The only thing that I'd work on is the expression. Sometimes models strike a great pose, but the eyes are saying "I'm ready, take the photograph." This is what I see in this portrait.
