Main Content
My photography focuses on capturing intimate, emotional, and authentic moments. Clients are driven by a desire to preserve memories, express themselves, and tell their stories, seeking a meaningful and personalised experience that captures their essence, values, and emotions. There is a deep appreciation for the artistic and technical aspects that go into creating truly impactful images.
The transformative power of photography is immense, offering a unique and bespoke experience that goes far beyond just taking a picture. It’s about creating images that have a lasting impact on clients’ lives and well-being, providing a lasting sense of pride, joy, and fulfillment through timeless, heirloom-quality images.
The Vision Behind the Shot
This captivating close-up specifically captures a person with a contemporary, gender-neutral presentation. Their face, framed by short, dark hair styled with a modern edge, holds a serene expression. The person’s features are subtly enhanced with makeup, highlighting their eyes and cheekbones, adding to the overall mood of quiet confidence and understated elegance. They are dressed in a stylish, dark-colored top that complements their complexion. The background is indistinct, keeping the focus entirely on the individual, ensuring their expression and presence are paramount.
Client Experience & Value
Clients who value creativity, self-expression, and personal growth are drawn to this style. They appreciate investing in high-quality, bespoke experiences that reflect their unique personalities, values, and lifestyles. Effective sessions involve a thorough consultation and planning process, careful attention to location, lighting, and styling. Building trust and rapport with clients is crucial for capturing the most meaningful and authentic moments. My expertise and creative vision ensure a final product that not only meets but exceeds expectations, highlighting core benefits like the creation of timeless images and a deeply personal, immersive experience with expert guidance.
Technical Approach
Recorded with a Canon EOS 90D camera and an EF50mm f/1.4 USM lens set to 50.0mm, this focal length is a classic choice for portraiture, allowing for beautiful subject isolation. An aperture of f/5.6 was used, providing a pleasant depth of field that keeps the focus sharp on the subject while gently softening the background. A shutter speed of 1/640 second helped ensure sharpness, while the capture occurred during the afternoon in Bridport, UK, likely benefiting from the natural light conditions prevalent there during summer.
