The Vision Behind the Shot
This eye-level portrait masterfully draws the viewer in, focusing entirely on the subject’s gentle expression and subtle makeup that enhances their features. The person’s long, wavy brown hair cascades past their shoulders, complementing their dark top. The background, kept indistinct, ensures an intimate connection with the subject. The overall mood is serene and stylish, a testament to natural beauty and quiet confidence. Every artistic choice, from the composition to the nuanced lighting, is designed to evoke feelings of empowerment and self-acceptance.

Technical Approach
The ‘Ivy Huxley Shoot’ was expertly recorded in our studio with a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera and an EF50mm f/1.4 USM lens, set at 50.0mm. This focal length is renowned for producing images with a natural perspective and a beautiful, shallow depth of field, ensuring the subject remains the undeniable focus. The exposure parameters were carefully selected: an aperture of f/7.1 for optimal sharpness and depth of field, a shutter speed of 1/200s to capture every detail, and an ISO. Captured during the evening, these settings were chosen to achieve the serene, softly lit aesthetic you see in the final image.
