First paid portrait session — where am I losing it?
Natural light, north-facing window, reflector camera-left. Client is happy, I am not. Something about it reads amateur to me and I cannot name what.

Strong subject placement, but the frame would be tighter without the empty band along the bottom edge. Lighting is the best part — the falloff on the left reads intentional.

The edit is a touch heavy on clarity; skin and texture are both showing halos at 100%. Pull it back about a third and the frame gets quieter in a good way.
