There is something interesting about the dual view you can get when shooting in a mirror.

But it also makes it harder to control, as you must sometimes get light to work from multiple sides.
And on the last image, for example, there is an “issue”:

Since the light is so high and her face is skewed, the light on the face is not optimal. The light on the body and back is okay, but since the angle of her hips and legs is fantastic, I decided to live with the less-perfect facial light.

What do you think?
Is that an issue in an image like this - or not?

Let me hear your thoughts, please.

Because of her light hair the face is OK for me. And the light on the body is perfect! So it is more than OK.

Do you ever use gradient mask in LR or PS to massage lighting?

All the time. And add to and subtract from the mask. And a lot if the other maskine features, especially in lightroom. I prefer working as much as possible on the raw data, so I don’t loose tio much once I’m workibg on the 8-bit in Photoshop (I can’t be bothered working in 16 bit- it mostly seems unnecessary).
