To get closer to the figure and still have a full body shot, you would need to use a wider camera focal length. However using a wider lens will introduce that wide angel perspective distortion where the nose is larger in proportion to the ears, etc. (not a pleasing render). While I use cameras that use the square format for many years as a photographer, the square just doesnt work for a single person standing full-on shot, nor does it work for you here. Too much empty space on each side (plus you have about a head and a half of wasted space below the feet) results in what is know as Bulls-eye composition. Consider how much to show. Does the viewer really need to see her feet? The figure is also very dark and monotone compared to the busy bright background, which further distances her from the viewer. Crop, move in, and give the subject better lighting and a less distracting background. SWAMP
