The Vision Behind the Shot
The goal was to capture a portrait embodying confidence and contemporary elegance. The choice of a full-length frame allows the entire aesthetic – from the sharp tailoring of the dark blazer and trousers to the carefully styled short hair – to contribute to the subject’s commanding presence. The subtle details, like the expression and makeup, are key to conveying their unique personality and approachability within this sophisticated look. The indistinct background ensures all focus remains squarely on the individual, highlighting their strength and individuality.

Technical Approach
Captured in Oxford, this image was taken using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with a 50mm lens – a classic choice for portraiture known for rendering subjects naturally. The aperture was set to f/7.1, helping to ensure the entire subject is sharp while still providing a pleasing, slightly softened background. The shutter speed of 1/200s was perfect for capturing stillness. This technical precision allows the artistic vision to come to life, resulting in a sharp, impactful portrait ready for promotional use.
Key Concepts
