Main Content
This particular shoot highlights a woman with elegant long brown hair, exuding confidence as she is seated at a round wooden table. Her attire, a bright pink dress adorned with white polka dots, features a charming smocked bodice and short, ruffled sleeves. Accessories include a sophisticated necklace, a bracelet on her left wrist, and rings on both hands, completing a look that is both playful and chic. Her pose, with her left hand gracefully resting on the table and her index finger pointing upwards towards her chin, and her right hand on her hip, creates an engaging and aspirational aesthetic.
The backdrop for this stunning image is an artificial green grass wall, thoughtfully decorated with two vibrant sunflowers, adding a touch of natural beauty and an unexpected texture to the scene. Her refined makeup, including eyeshadow and lipstick, along with elegant earrings and white shoes, ties the entire ensemble together, creating a cohesive and visually arresting portrait of modern style.
The Vision Behind the Shot
Our vision for this shot was to create an image that resonates with current fashion trends, particularly the move towards bold colours and authentic representation. We aimed for a mood that conveys confidence, playfulness, and sophisticated authenticity. The juxtaposition of the structured pose with the vibrant, natural-inspired backdrop creates a dynamic tension, perfectly capturing the essence of a modern, trendsetting brand. Every element, from the choice of attire to the subtle details of the setting, was meticulously planned to tell a compelling visual story and evoke aspiration and elegance.

Technical Approach
This exquisite image was expertly captured with a Canon EOS 90D camera, paired with an EF50mm f/1.4 USM lens set to 50.0mm. This focal length is renowned for its ability to provide a natural perspective and to create a beautiful, shallow depth of field, allowing the subject to truly stand out. The exposure parameters were meticulously chosen: an aperture of f/2.5, which beautifully renders the background blur while keeping the subject sharp; a shutter speed of 1/160s, ideal for capturing the dynamic pose without motion blur; and an ISO of 0, indicating the camera’s base ISO for optimal image quality. The shoot, likely conducted during the afternoon in Cardiff, Wales, allowed for versatile lighting conditions, which our chosen settings were perfectly adapted to leverage for an impactful result.
