Michele points out an exellent point regarding the camera in relation to your subject. At this range and with your lense (I suspect a 55 m) you will get distortion. Try backing up using directional light with fill and if possible use a 70 - 90m lense. This will help a lot.

The main point would be backing up and directional lighting (off left or right of center to your subject). I think you'll see a big difference when you can improve your source material.
