The Vision Behind the Shot
This particular image, a striking full shot captured within the dramatic expanse of a concrete tunnel, showcases a model with long dark hair and fair skin, exuding an air of sophisticated mystery. She is elegantly dressed in a long-sleeved black gown, beautifully adorned with floral embroidery on the sleeves and bodice. A black belt cinches her waist, leading to a sheer black skirt that gracefully falls to her calves, complemented by black high-heeled shoes. The vibrant bouquet of red roses held in her left hand provides a captivating splash of colour, creating a stark yet harmonious contrast against the cool, industrial backdrop. The tunnel itself, stretching into the distance with its series of ceiling lights, adds depth and a unique perspective, reinforcing the #UrbanShoot aesthetic.

Technical Approach
This image was meticulously captured using a Canon EOS 90D camera paired with an EF-S24mm f/2.8 STM lens set at 24.0mm. This focal length is ideal for environmental portraiture, allowing for the inclusion of the dramatic tunnel setting while keeping the model prominent. The choice of an f/2.8 aperture skillfully creates a shallow depth of field, ensuring the model remains the sharp focal point against the subtly blurred background. A shutter speed of 1/200 was employed, effectively freezing any potential motion and ensuring crisp detail. Captured during the afternoon in Swindon, England, this ‘Urban Shoot’ was a testament to deliberate choices regarding lighting, colour, and sharpness to achieve the desired high-fashion aesthetic.
