I love the mood you’ve created with the lighting, and the vulnerability. With the way your light is aimed, your shoulder/arm is picking up most of the light, and as the brightest spot in the photo it ends up drawing attention away from your face and expression.
Adjusting the light a bit to lessen the light on your shoulder and/or increase the light on your face would alleviate that.
Thank you, as I mentioned in another reply, I am not entirely comfortable with my face so hearing you want more of it in the frame is nice to hear. Glad you liked the photo.
I understand how you feel. A decade or so ago I did a daily self portrait project to both learn lighting and build my own self confidence/self acceptance. It’s a hard thing to do. I applaud you for putting yourself out there
Great job!
