>>3841665The pose is dull and the lighting is so bad it honestly looks botched. Here is the photographer's portrait portfolio for comparison:
https://www.wynneneilly.com/portraitsA lot of the portraits on there are equally bland, but some are really well executed. Very hit or miss, but you can see a pattern with the bland ones. Also compare to the cover photo, which looks much better. Take note of how much better the lighting is in the cover photo compared to OP, despite it being the same set up. Tells me he goofed the lighting but they probably liked the expression or something so ran with it despite.
