Main Content
Our focus is on capturing the essence of genuine family connections, dynamics, and shared journeys. Through a blend of posed and candid moments, we create timeless memories that truly reflect who you are.

We believe in preserving memories, documenting children’s growth, and celebrating family togetherness, creating beautiful family heirlooms that you can proudly display and pass down through generations.
The Vision Behind the Shot
This session was an experiment in our studio, aimed at capturing a modern aesthetic with a focus on individual expression within the broader ‘family’ genre. The person’s confident stance and slightly off-camera gaze draw the viewer in, suggesting a deeper story. We intentionally created a relaxed atmosphere, allowing the subject’s natural grace to shine through. This image is a testament to our commitment to artistry, ensuring every portrait tells a compelling visual story.

Technical Approach
This striking image was expertly captured in our Swindon studio using a Canon EOS 90D camera, paired with an EF50mm f/1.4 USM lens. This versatile lens is a favourite for portraiture, known for its ability to produce beautiful depth of field. The exposure settings, an aperture of f/5.6 and a shutter speed of 1/125, were carefully chosen to achieve crisp focus while maintaining a pleasing separation from the background, even during an evening capture. Our ‘Experiments in Photo Studio’ approach allows us to refine techniques and deliver consistently stunning results, reflecting our professional expertise in every shot. The focus on ‘family and portraits’ in our metadata underscores the intentionality behind these technical choices.
