The Canon 5Dmkii was my 2nd ever DSLR camera - the Pentax K100D was my first! During this portrait photoshoot, I collaborated with an amazing team of creatives. We have our 3 models and I was also shooting side by side with 2 other photographers and my partner Dan who made a video of our afternoon shoot. I was excited to try some new techniques with my 5Dmk2 camera body - we decided to venture deep into the forest where it was dark. We used some candles as our main light source and took some portraits.
I was using the Canon 85mm f1.2L II lens for all these photos. Since there were a lot of people at our shoot, I thought having a telephoto lens would be beneficial. I could stay out of everyone’s way but still capture closeup images of our subjects. Let me know what you think of the photos in the comments!

If you enjoyed this blog post, you might want to check out one of my recent photoshoots with Kristina here! We ventured to a dried field for the afternoon to take some portraits.
This has got to be one of the cheapest autofocus lenses available for Canon DSLR cameras, I picked up mine used for about $30 USD. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a compact and affordable prime lens offering a wide aperture for low-light shooting and creative depth of field control aka bokeh! This is a great lens for beginners and gives a very budget friendly entry into DSLR photography. These are the photos I captured with it.
