Thanks! On his left side that's natural light which is balanced with his right side flash light. The flash was angled such that some part of light bounced on his left side. Similar setting I have used in the shot Prachi. After some time this didn't worked for me because of natural low light in my shot Vidya. There I used second flash to add fill light on her left.

Beautiful eye contact - it makes the viewer feel the connection.

Great lighting, details/sharpness. Somewhat unorthodox composition/crop works well. I would sharpen the eyes (but not the eyebrows) just a bit.
