Technical Approach
This striking image was captured using a Canon EOS 90D camera paired with an EF50mm f/1.4 USM lens, a superb combination for portraits. The 50.0mm focal length is ideal for such work, providing a natural perspective. An aperture of f/6.3 was chosen to ensure sufficient depth of field, keeping the subject sharp while subtly softening the background, perfectly aligning with the desire to keep the focus entirely on the individual. A shutter speed of 1/160 and ISO 100 were meticulously selected to manage the afternoon light conditions during this posed family portrait session at the end of the year, optimising for clarity and detail. This precise control over the technical aspects allows us to craft images that are both artistically compelling and technically flawless.
