To avoid the shadow of the nose in your models face try this...
Place a mirror on the exact oposite direction of the light source (flash in this case i believe).
Mirror will work as a "fill light" using the light from your light source.
That way you'll have a better result with NO shadow on the face & a PRO look on yor photo!!!
