People First Portrait

Did this for a friend. I do not portrait photography so any CC is welcome.

Well done , I’m really excited to do portraits, what settings did you use?

Thanks.
I used my A7RIII w/24-105G lens
ISO 100 92mm f/4 1/500sec.
I was shooting for a backlit subject and used a reflector to add a little light to her face.

This is well done! Love the back lighting on her hair. Did you have a partner help with the reflector? I'm trying to learn portraits and looking at additional light sources to help with shadows. I'm thinking the easiest solo option is for a speedlight, but not sure if it is mounted on the shoe if it is in good enough position to help most situations.

Thanks! I did have someone to hold the reflector. I don’t have much experience with flashes which is why I chose natural light. I do like the backlit hair.
