The Canon 24-70mm f2.8 is an EF zoom lens for Canon DSLRs. I am using this lens on the Canon 5Dmk4 for portrait photography. We shot all these images in - believe it or not - a 10 minute winter golden hour window! Watch the behind the scenes video to hear my thoughts about this lens and to see unedited SOOC photos. I also share my experience on what it was using a zoom lens for the first time in years as a prime lens photographer.

I have since used many zoom lenses for portrait photography. Some of my stand-out zoom lenses I’ve used include the RF 28-70mm f2 which I have 2 photoshoots for - one on the Canon EOS R and another on the Canon EOS R6. I also LOVED using the Tamron 70-180mm f2.8 for portrait photography on the Sony A7iii.

This blog was put together with Narrative. I love using Narrative as part of my photoshoot culling process to see which images from a shoot I should edit and I also use it to easily & quickly be able to put together these blog posts with different layouts of images side by side. I’m really excited to say I’ve teamed up with Narrative and have a 15% discount code for you guys using the code julia15 or just clicking this link!
