The Vision Behind the Shot
In this captivating portrait, we focused on bringing an edgy elegance to life. Our model, with her flowing long brown hair, is seated confidently in a classic black leather chair, providing a rich textural contrast to her attire. She wears a distinct black off-the-shoulder top adorned with a unique white elephant pattern, cinched at the waist with a stylish brown belt. Subtle details like a silver bracelet and a ring on her left hand add touches of sophistication, complemented by her striking eyeliner and lipstick. The intentional flow of her hair, appearing windswept, adds dynamism and a sense of movement to the static pose. The backdrop, a rugged brick wall, juxtaposed with a shelf displaying various products, a lush plant, and the contemporary glow of a neon sign, creates a layered and visually interesting environment. A wooden stand subtly grounds the scene, adding to the urban-chic aesthetic.

Technical Approach
Achieving this look required a precise technical approach. The image was expertly captured with a Canon EOS 90D camera, paired with an EF-S24mm f/2.8 STM lens set at 24.0mm. This focal length is ideal for capturing a wider field of view while still allowing for a desirable degree of subject isolation, thanks to the wide aperture of f/2.8. A shutter speed of 1/125s was chosen to precisely freeze any subtle movement, ensuring crisp details, while a low ISO of 100 maintained image clarity and minimised noise. Captured during the afternoon in Cardiff, these settings balanced the available light with our creative vision, resulting in a vibrant yet refined image that perfectly conveys the desired mood.
