Shot on a Sony A7iv with Sigma 24-70. Lighting was an AD600 Pro along with my Godox speedlight bouncing off a reflector for some fill.

I am trying to get a look similar to this photo and was wondering if I could recreate it with just my Godox AD400 pro. I also have a TT865ii, but don't think that would doo much in broad daylight. Photo is by Jack Balaban

Got on finasteride in October of 2024 after I noticed some recession. At first, my hair got a lot better, as you can see in the first two photos above. However, as you can see, It has gotten significantly worse in the past few months with no sign of stopping. I don't really know what to do, it's all I think about and almost every night I just get depressed and cry thinking that by the time I'm 30 I'm gonna be bald cause of my dads genetics.

23 yo. Got on finasteride in October of 2024. After the first i initial shed, my hair definitely got better, saw regrowth up top and on the hairline. However, after buzzing it in April, I noticed it growing back thinner and my hairline miniaturizing once more. Is this a second synchronized shed or is my balding just getting more aggressive? For context my dad is bald and went bald pretty young as well.
