Main Content
Creating an image that truly reflects the individual requires careful consideration of light, pose, and expression. My approach combines technical precision with artistic vision to produce portraits that are both beautiful and effective. The aim is always to make the subject feel comfortable and confident, allowing their true essence to shine through.
The Vision Behind the Shot
This particular portrait features a woman with fair skin and striking red hair. Her long, wavy hair cascades down her shoulders, complementing her elegant white, long-sleeved shirt and delicate silver necklace. Subtle, light makeup enhances her natural features, adding to the refined feel. The solid, muted blue background was chosen to provide a clean, unfussy backdrop that keeps the focus entirely on the subject, allowing her expressive gaze and personality to be the central element of the image.
Client Experience & Value
Choosing Gary Wallage Photography for your portrait session means investing in quality and a personalised experience. I work closely with you to understand your needs, whether it’s a professional headshot for your career, a theatrical portrait to showcase your range, or an artistic piece for personal enjoyment. The goal is to create images that not only look fantastic but also serve their purpose, helping you make the right impression. You’ll leave the session with confidence, knowing you have powerful images that truly represent you.
Technical Approach
This portrait was captured using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera with an EF85mm f/1.4L IS USM lens. The 85mm focal length is a classic choice for portraiture, known for its flattering perspective. An aperture of f/7.1 was selected to provide excellent sharpness across the subject while maintaining a pleasant, slightly softened background – a great balance for a professional portrait. The shutter speed of 1/200 second was ample to ensure sharpness, and the ISO 0 indicates ideal lighting conditions. Captured during the late morning in the winter months, the ambient light quality likely contributed to the clean, soft feel of the image.
