Slyness

I haven't really tried portrait-style photography so far. Recently

however, I took some test shots with the combination of IR filter and

a flash as the source of IR. This was the best of those in my opinion.

I'm curious about what I did right and what not so right, because

portraits are unknown terrority to me and this was done mostly by

intuition.

This needs a little more face, a little more angle, a little less dead space.

Jennifer, I think I understand your other suggestions at least roughly (and somewhat agree - a bit more of that emptiness could go), but could you elaborate what you mean with angle in this case?

Congratulations, you have succeeded in capturing the true nature of the evil person you are not :).
