Main Content
Every fashion shoot at Gary Wallage Photography is a journey to create visual stories that resonate. We blend creative direction with technical skill to produce images that are not just photographs, but editorial pieces fit for any magazine spread. We are passionate about #EditorialPhotography and capturing the unique spirit of our subjects in exquisite detail.
The Vision Behind the Shot
For this particular image, the goal was to highlight the exquisite beauty of the subject adorned in a captivating muted gold ball gown. With her fair complexion, auburn hair cascading around her, and a direct, neutral gaze towards the camera, she embodies timeless grace. Subtle makeup was used to enhance her natural features, ensuring focus remained on her poise and the elegance of the attire. The indistinct background serves to draw all attention to the subject, creating a powerful and intimate #portraitphotography piece.

Technical Approach
To achieve the exquisite detail and soft, artistic blur in this image, we utilised a Canon EOS 90D paired with an EF50mm f/1.4 USM lens. The classic 50mm focal length, combined with a wide aperture of f/1.4, allowed us to create a shallow depth of field, beautifully separating the subject from the background. A fast shutter speed of 1/5000 second ensured absolute sharpness, freezing any potential movement, while ISO 100 maintained image clarity. Captured during the afternoon light in #Cardiff, these technical choices were crucial in crafting the refined look and feel of the final photograph. We believe that understanding the gear allows us to focus fully on the artistic outcome and client experience.
