A Portrait By Window Light
A few days ago, I saw a nice female portrait which was taken by a professional photographer.
I like the view of an illuminated face against a dark background, so I took a similar portrait.
My daughter sat down opposite a window. I drew the curtains so that the narrow beam of light illuminate her profile. Thus the main source of light created the transition from light to shadow. I used a black reflector as the dark background. I set the exposure compensation of -1 EV to make the picture darker.

Notes
"so I took a similar portrait" this is correct, but you might want expand this a bit e.g. "so I was inspired to take a similar portrait." Artists always like to claim inspiration.
"Thus" is correct, but the word is archaic. If you use it you'll sound pretentious.
I love the photo. Really striking effect.

Вы совсем правильно употребили слово "portrait". Без сомнения можно употреблять это слово в контексте фотографии.
