Technical Approach

This image was captured using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera paired with an EF85mm f/1.4L IS USM lens, set to a classic portrait focal length of 85.0mm. An aperture of f/7.1 was chosen to achieve a balanced depth of field, keeping the subject sharp while gently softening the background. A shutter speed of 1/200th of a second ensured crispness, and the base ISO of 0 (likely ISO 100) guaranteed pristine image quality. Captured during the late morning in Oxford, England, this technical setup allowed for the nuanced rendition of light and expression, perfectly aligning with the “headshot” genre and even referencing the dynamic energy of “Legally Blonde, the Musical” in its metadata.
