Main Content
At Gary Wallage Photography, we believe glamour photography is a profound celebration of confidence, self-acceptance, and personal expression. It transcends traditional boundaries, welcoming individuals and couples of all genders, ages, body types, and life stages. Whether you envision a classic boudoir session, stylish swimwear, or a powerful portrayal of a personal transformation—be it celebrating weight loss, embracing body acceptance, recovering post-surgery, or simply enhancing intimacy—our focus is on capturing your inner strength and inherent beauty.
We understand the modern desire for authenticity and inclusivity. Our approach aligns with current trends, favouring natural light, minimalist settings, and storytelling through imagery. We specialise in fine art boudoir and are adept at creating a safe, comfortable environment where you can truly be yourself, allowing us to capture real bodies and diverse representation with integrity and artistry.
The Vision Behind the Shot
This particular image, a boudoir-style studio shot, features an individual with fair skin, adorned in striking red lingerie. The matching bra and briefs, complemented by a simple strappy suspender belt and white stockings with red tops, create a look that is both provocative and tasteful, with revealing cutouts designed to preserve modesty. Red high-heeled shoes complete the ensemble, adding a touch of classic allure. The dark hair, styled in loose waves, cascades over the shoulders, and the natural makeup enhances features rather than masking them. The indistinct background ensures the subject remains the undeniable focal point, creating a powerful, intimate portrait. Captured with a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and an EF28-135mm lens at 135.0mm, a focal length perfect for isolating subjects and creating beautiful portraits, the image was exposed at f/8 with a shutter speed of 1/160s, allowing for exquisite depth of field control and sharp capture of motion. These choices collectively contribute to the artistic excellence and the timeless quality of the photograph.

Technical Approach
The technical precision behind this image underscores our commitment to quality. The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, renowned for its full-frame sensor and exceptional image quality, paired with the versatile EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, allowed for precise control. Setting the lens to 135.0mm provides a flattering compression often desired in portraiture, ensuring the subject stands out beautifully. An aperture of f/8 was chosen to achieve a desirable depth of field, keeping the subject sharp while subtly softening the background, drawing the viewer’s eye to the individual. The shutter speed of 1/160s was sufficient to freeze any subtle movements, ensuring crisp detail. The careful calibration of these settings, likely during a late morning shoot, demonstrates our deliberate approach to lighting and composition to create impactful results.
