Introduction: Welcome to a look behind the lens at how I capture authentic, emotional moments and tell personal stories through my photography. #[storytellingphotography] It’s about revealing your unique identity and creating art that resonates deeply.
Main Content
My photography focuses on capturing the true essence of individuals, creating images that are not just pictures, but narratives. Clients seek this experience because they want to preserve precious memories, express who they are, and engage in a creative journey that leaves them with beautiful, meaningful photographs and a profound sense of confidence and self-expression. My approach is highly personalised and immersive, valuing the emotional connection we build during the session.
The Vision Behind the Shot
This particular image showcases a captivating, eye-level portrait. The focus is entirely on the subject’s striking presence and modern aesthetic. Framed by a cascade of wavy, dark brown hair, their direct, engaging gaze immediately draws you in. The style is contemporary and intentionally ambiguous in gender presentation, allowing the individual’s personality to shine through. A stylish, dark top hints at the creative range we can explore, whether it’s swimwear or intimate wear, always handled with artistic intent. The subtle makeup enhances their natural features without distraction, keeping the focus on the authentic expression.
Client Experience & Value
Choosing a session with Gary Wallage Photography means opting for a unique, personalised experience. I emphasise the transformative power of photography – it’s an opportunity for self-expression and confidence-building. The value proposition is clear: you receive not only technically skilled, creative imagery but also a comfortable, engaging process where you feel truly seen and understood. My ability to connect on a personal level ensures that the final photographs reflect your true self and the story you wish to tell. It’s an investment in preserving your legacy and celebrating your identity.
Technical Approach
This image was captured using a Canon EOS 90D with a 70-300mm lens set to 180mm. This focal length is excellent for isolating the subject and creating a beautiful perspective compression, keeping the focus squarely on the individual. An aperture of f/4.5 was used, influencing the depth of field to ensure the subject stands out crisply against a softly rendered background. A fast shutter speed of 1/1000 second was employed, potentially useful for freezing any subtle movement and ensuring sharp details. This particular shot was taken in Chichester, England, during the morning, likely utilising soft, natural light to enhance the mood and texture. Considerations during the session included selecting a location with meaningful potential and maintaining a flexible, spontaneous approach to direction, allowing for genuine moments to unfold.
