Introduction: Stepping into the light, this portrait focuses purely on the individual, capturing a truly expressive moment. It embodies the essence of what we strive for in #portraitphotography – revealing the unique spark within each person.
Main Content
This image, a close-up capturing a person with a contemporary, confident style, is a perfect example of Comprehensive Portraiture. The subject’s neutral gender expression and understated yet striking presence are key elements we aimed to highlight. The soft, gentle lighting on smooth skin reveals a subtle, almost pensive expression, drawing the viewer in. Their modern short hairstyle adds to the overall contemporary feel.
The Vision Behind the Shot
My focus here was to create a clean, artistic capture that places the individual entirely at the forefront. By using an indistinct background, all attention is directed towards the person and their authentic presence. It’s about capturing that quiet confidence and the layers of personality that make them unique.

Technical Approach
Captured using a Canon EOS 90D and an EF-S24mm f/2.8 STM lens set to 24mm, a focal length well-suited for portraits, this setup allowed me to get close and personal while maintaining natural perspective. The exposure, using an aperture of f/6.3 and a shutter speed of 1/160 second, helped ensure sharp focus on the subject while managing the available light, likely from an afternoon session during winter. This technical precision supports the artistic vision, ensuring the final image is both beautiful and high quality.
