I think there is a bit too much shadow on he left side. how did you get this effect - I am just starting to use lights

Lynne, the lighting is; two tungsten lights, a 500W to her left and a 200W spot lighting the background and spilling onto her right cheek. The low key lighting is very intensional as it hides some of the subject and (I think) evokes the imagination to fill in the unseen.
