Main Content
Fashion photography is a dynamic blend of art and expression. It’s about capturing the essence of style, telling a story through imagery, and creating visuals that resonate deeply. For clients, this means receiving photographs that not only look incredible but also convey personality, mood, and a unique perspective. Whether for an aspiring model’s portfolio, a brand looking to define its image, or simply for personal artistic expression, professional fashion photography delivers impactful results. This specific shoot leans into the Editorial and Street Style subgenres, focusing on atmosphere and individuality against a real-world backdrop, incorporating elements of urban exploration and detailed styling.
The Vision Behind the Shot
This image features a model positioned against a textured brick wall, marked with faded purple graffiti, in Swindon. Her long, dark hair frames her face as she wears a sheer black top adorned with colourful floral embroidery, paired with a black skirt. Her arms are crossed, lending a poised, confident air to the pose. The composition highlights her fair skin and makeup, including noticeable lipstick, and a small earring adds a subtle detail. The dim lighting conditions of the afternoon shoot, coupled with strategic positioning, create a noticeable shadow behind her, adding depth and drama to the scene.

Technical Approach
This image was captured using a Canon EOS 90D camera paired with an EF-S24mm f/2.8 STM lens. The 24mm focal length (on an APS-C sensor) provides a versatile perspective suitable for environmental portraits like this, capturing both the subject and their surroundings. The wide aperture of f/2.8 was specifically chosen to achieve a shallow depth of field, ensuring the model remains the clear focus while allowing the urban backdrop to become a complementary, softened element rather than a distraction. The shutter speed of 1/200th of a second was ample to freeze any subtle movement. Captured in Swindon, England, the location itself becomes a key character in the photograph.
