>>4153154heres a tip; when you shoot men, make sure you dont cover their jaw line with clothing or props. its subtle but makes all the difference in the shot
(i do fashion and beauty, made this mistake countless times)
also, another tip, looks like you had one key light instead of two so with that, provided you can (you have the space), try to move it even further from your subject or use an additional piece of thin cloth (cut off cotton bed sheet or something) or a thicker softbox to soften it up more.
angle your key light further in (towards your subjects back), tell your subject to turn his head just a tiny bit more towards you (to the right) until theres a nice and soft shadow covering the other half of his face - then all you have to do is to adjust aperture down from f8-f11 to either f5.6 or f6.3 if the image is too bright at 5.6, (if you tether you can see the histogram and exposure points right away, especially if you use capture one) that way you will have a softer, less intense light on his face and the other half of the face. the best headshots/beauty shots in this style are shot when the difference between the lit part of the face and the shadows is about 60/40 or even more even if you can pull it off depending on model, skin, lighting, environemnt colors, etc., yours is like 75/25 on a dark background, didnt take the time to measure exactly but its somewhere around 75/25, i can tell.
also just remembered, shoot at a very very very slight angle top down, that will help with defining that jaw line and masculine features of the face without it ending up looking like a generic, stale studio shot. actually i just took the time of my life to make picrel to help you visualize everything i just said
other than that, nice work
