Introduction: At Gary Wallage Photography, we believe photography is more than just capturing an image; it’s about celebrating the true essence of an individual. This stunning #glamour and #swimwear portrait embodies just that – a celebration of confidence, self-acceptance, and empowerment through artful imagery.
Main Content
This captivating image features a subject with an unmistakably contemporary style. Their long, wavy dark hair elegantly cascades, framing a face softly illuminated to reveal a gentle expression and features subtly enhanced by makeup. Dressed in stylish, dark-coloured attire, possibly swimwear or lingerie, the clothing complements their skin tone and contributes to an overall mood of sophistication. The background remains indistinct, ensuring the viewer’s focus is entirely on the individual and their modern aesthetic.
The Vision Behind the Shot
This particular shot was captured with a Canon EOS 90D camera, utilising a versatile 70.0-300.0 mm lens set at 70.0mm. The exposure was carefully managed with an aperture of f/4 for a beautiful depth of field, and a fast shutter speed of 1/1000s, ideal for capturing the crispness of a morning session. The location, Chichester, England, with its proximity to the coast, provided a perfect backdrop for this swimwear-focused session, allowing for the interplay of natural light and coastal vibes. Our aim was to create an image that transcends a simple photo, offering a sophisticated and artistic portrayal of the subject.

Technical Approach
The technical choices, such as the 70mm focal length, allowed us to maintain focus on the subject while subtly incorporating the environment. The rapid shutter speed was chosen to perfectly ‘freeze’ the moment and capture the dynamic nature of an outdoor shoot, particularly in the morning light. The choice of Chichester on the South Coast directly informed the creative direction, aligning with the swimwear genre and the desire for a fresh, natural aesthetic that resonates with today’s trends favoring authentic body positivity and natural light.
