Main Content
In this session, we focused on the Portrait Superset genre, aiming to encapsulate the individual’s identity through carefully considered elements. The subject, with her striking blonde, wavy hair, was a delight to work with. The goal was to produce an expressive image that resonated with her personal style and confidence. We incorporated dynamic posing and tailored the session’s theme to highlight her best features and spirit. Finding a photographer who understands your vision and can bring it to life is key to a truly successful portrait session.
The Vision Behind the Shot
Against a dark grey background, the subject wore a stunning red dress featuring an elegant lace bodice and a sophisticated V-neckline. A beautifully textured, ruffled white shawl was draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of dramatic flair and artistic texture. Her captivating blue eyes and vibrant red lipstick were focal points, enhancing the overall expressiveness of the portrait. Every element was chosen to contribute to a cohesive and powerful visual story.

Booking a portrait session with Gary Wallage Photography means investing in more than just pictures; you’re investing in an experience designed to make you feel comfortable, confident, and celebrated. I work closely with each client to understand their goals, whether it’s for professional headshots, dating profiles, theatrical portfolios, or simply capturing a moment in time.

Technical Approach
This image was captured using a reliable Canon EOS 90D and a versatile EF50mm f/1.4 USM lens, a favourite for its portrait capabilities. The settings used, such as an aperture of f/5.6 and a shutter speed of 1/125 second, were chosen to ensure a good depth of field while effectively using the controlled studio lighting to freeze motion and create a sharp, detailed image. The session took place in my Swindon studio during the evening, allowing for complete control over the light and environment, essential for achieving the desired artistic outcome. These ‘Experiments in Photo Studio’ are vital for refining the techniques that produce such polished results.
