Third time shooting a person in my home-studio. I think I should have used another

light or reflector to pull her left side out of the dark - what else would improve the shot?

I would have directed her to pull her shoulders back as if her rib cage was being pulled by a string up to the ceiling. That would have made a big difference for me.

 

As far as lighting goes, you're right, it looks as though the chest isn't being lit up as much as the face, but I think it's just her make up that is causing most of that look....

 

If you only have two lights available just play around with them for each pose, especially when you are just starting out. I would have lowered it, angled it, moved it closer/farther away, or used a bigger softbox. Maybe having the lights directly across from each other to create Rembrandt lighting on her face, to have more of a dramatic look...just a few ideas.
