Nice, I like everything except the background, I like the separation of the hair but background is too spotty.

Good image here and the short lighting works well with your subject. Everything being in warm tones helps the image hang together well, but runs the risk of too much of a good thing. I suspect that cooling the image down just a bit by adding a tiny bit of blue and cyan into the mid-tones could be effective here.

In this type of scene, I often end up using a white reflector on the camera left side of the image just to break up the shadows a bit. The hair and cheek could use a bit of fill light just to soften up that side of the image a bit.

Cheyenne is a beautiful woman and really looks wonderful when her eyes are looking straight forward (in line with the direction of her nose)...

I have no expertise in terms of Portraiture but I like that.

You've got me puzzled. What does "Ad600 32 in octa" mean?

I like this pose, and the lighting works well. I assume that the darkness and limited tonal range is intentional. I had the same reaction as Manfred: it seems a bit too warm. Then again, this may be a matter of differences in taste, as I have commented before on what I see as too warm/yellow a tone in some of your images.

In processing, did you do any smoothing of the skin? It's hard to see in the image as posted, but when I lighten it up in PS, it looks like the skin has been smoothed.

That part is easy: Godox Witstro AD600 battery powered studio light using a 32" octabox as a light modifier...

Forgot to add— I find the slight texture in the background pleasing
