Getting the right lighting on a profile shot isn't very easy. On this one I had a soft flash aimed at the subject from above his head. Also, I moved it to the side a bit, to have a nice shadow on the side of his face. It often takes a bit of time to find out where the lighting looks the best. Just go ahead and try out different positions and see where they take you!
