Main Content
In this stunning image, we feature Gelou @not_ur_typical1, elegantly posed in front of a textured brick wall, embodying confidence and grace. Her long, dark brown hair flows past her waist, drawing attention to a chic black choker. The focal point is a beautiful blue off-the-shoulder dress, adorned with a delicate floral design on its bodice and featuring a stylish high-low hemline. Complementing the vibrant dress, she holds a striking bouquet of red roses, adding a rich splash of colour and romanticism to the urban setting. The overall #streetstyle look is completed with classic black boots, grounding the ensemble in an effortlessly cool aesthetic. The background, a blend of a brick wall, a paved walkway, and subtle greenery, along with visible stairs, provides a rich, multi-layered environment that enhances the narrative of the shoot.
The Vision Behind the Shot
This “Urban Shoot with Gelou” was conceived to blend the raw authenticity of urban settings with the refined artistry of fashion. The aim was to create visuals that are both aspirational and relatable, reflecting current trends that embrace authenticity and dynamic representation. The interplay of soft floral patterns with the rugged brick suggests a story of beauty thriving amidst the everyday, a powerful visual metaphor for a brand’s resilience and unique appeal. Our creative vision focuses on evoking emotions like confidence, desire, and excitement, ensuring each photograph is not just seen but felt.
Client Experience & Value
For fashion brands, designers, and models, photography is paramount for branding and advertising. We understand clients seek enhanced brand image, increased sales, stunning campaign visuals, and a strong online presence. Our approach at Gary Wallage Photography is highly collaborative, beginning with detailed pre-shoot planning and mood board creation, often involving stylists and HMUAs. We pride ourselves on our strong understanding of #UKFashion trends, creative vision, and technical expertise in lighting and posing. This ensures we deliver diverse styles and consistent brand representation, even for complex briefs. Based in Swindon/Wiltshire, we leverage unique local backdrops, from historic architecture to scenic rural landscapes, offering unparalleled versatility for your next campaign. Our efficient workflow and high-quality retouching ensure you receive impactful visuals that resonate with your target audience and unleash your brand’s full potential.
Technical Approach
This shot was expertly captured using a Canon EOS 90D camera paired with an EF-S24mm f/2.8 STM lens. This 24.0mm focal length is ideal for versatile shots, allowing us to capture both the subject’s intricate details and the surrounding urban environment effectively. An aperture of f/2.8 created a pleasing depth of field, artfully blurring the background to keep the focus on Gelou while still providing contextual richness. A fast shutter speed of 1/400 was chosen, likely during the afternoon, to precisely freeze movement and ensure sharpness. This technical precision, combined with our artistic direction, ensures a high-quality, impactful final image that embodies the essence of #fashionstyle and #portraitphotography.
