The model stands by the window, with the photographer about 2 meters away. Include more of the carved window in the frame, and have the model face the window to increase the light on their face.

Additional tips: Reflectors are not allowed inside the venue, but you can use a book to reflect light and fill in the face. The room is quite dark, so it’s essential to have the model face the window.
