I don't want to overdo it and make it too bright but I'm struggling with the balance. -Nick

Your edit definitely began to separate the camera right side of the image, but the camera left side still gets lost - nothing wrong with it at all, just a comment.

You'll really want to keep that there. It tends to create a connection with the viewer. First photo has it, the others do not.

I tried again with another desk lamp on the other side to light up both sides of my face. How's this one?
