Captured on a Sony A7RIII with a Sigma 24-70 f2.8 lens and illuminated with a Godox AD200 from the left side, this photograph encapsulates a moment of timeless elegance. Taken with meticulous attention to detail, the settings were carefully calibrated: Aperture set at F/10, shutter speed at 2.0 seconds, and ISO 400, all supported by a sturdy tripod for utmost stability.
The subject, my aunt in her late 50s, radiates a sense of grace and poise against the vibrant backdrop of downtown Toronto. This snapshot was a product of a spontaneous yet carefully orchestrated plan; as she prepared for a party, we seized the opportunity to capture her essence in this enchanting urban setting.
