I got inspired after watching Glynn Dewis on YouTube showing how to take portraits and getting a black background even in daylight.
Well it wasn't exactly daylight. In fact it was in the bedroom with the light on and without a willing sitter, so it had to be a self portrait session.
The set-up was a single Elinchrom D-Lite RX 2, fitted with a snoot, my D850 on the tripod with remote shutter release.
Following Glynn's advice I stopped the camera down until I got a black image without the flash, then set the flash to light my face.
Not sure if I got it right but here's some of the better ones from the shoot.
Oh, and I was going for a mix of facial expressions. Some work and some... well erm...
Any critique, good or bad, would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks for looking.
