Always love working with the EF 135mm f/2L USM lens, it’s starting to feel like f/2 lenses are my thing, they don’t have to be shot wide open all the time - though this is 😎
Big bag needed for 135mm f/2L, RF 85mm F2 Macro IS and “the big beast from the East” RF 28-70mm F2L USM.

Sometimes you just want to go on making photos for ever… last night was the last shoot before lockdown2, and the first with the RF 85mm F2 Macro IS STM lens.

Multi-talented singer and actor Justin recently braved the cold for a cool afternoon shoot.
Great to be outside making photos, hanging on to softboxes in the breeze, watching well-weighted light stands bending in the wind. Every time you try that bit harder to improve your shot, there’s a payoff… in knowledge, and some cool shots.

October is the month for outdoor shoots for sure, especially early evening as the light gives up…

A chance to work with @joshentonmodel is not to be missed regardless of the weather and light. It’s just as well that the EOS R6 can focus in the dark though.

When Halloween is just on the horizon it’s time to start gathering your witches for the special night. Once you’ve found a witch, photography is the next challenge. A studio with plain backgrounds needs a little more work. For this I filled the studio with smoke and then got out the green gels to add a little more interesting light.
The hardest part of this was focus, but this is where the new EOS R6 played its trump card. AF that can only be described as witchcraft. Even when I could hardly see across the studio through the smoke, the camera found my witch and nailed the focus right on her eye.

Grabbed a few portraits of Alice after a long day filming some clips for a movie workshop, it was quite refreshing to just concentrate on a frame at a time and be able to turn the camera vertical again.
