My photo equipment

Hi everyone!

I often get these questions about my photo equipment :

What camera and lens do you use? What`s the best for beauty photography or close ups?

So herefore I made this blog post to show you! :)

My equipment

I am specialized in beauty photography and mostly work in similar situations (light, distance & motif) so my camera equipment doesn`t need much different gear.

The following photogear I am using for all of my beauty and close up work, hand & bodypart images as well as still life & product images.

Camera

I always shoot with my Canon Eos 5D Mark III. This camera gives everything on details and sharpness I need for my imagery. In addition I use fixed focal length lenses.

Macro Lens

In 90% of all of my shoots I use my Canon EF 100mm F2.8L Macro. It creates a sharp and detailed look, showing you all important skin texture, which I love especially for close up images.

Portrait Lens

When I shoot some portrait work I like to use my Canon EF 50mm F1.4 USM lens. It gets you a lovely bokeh and and a more soft look than the macro lens.

Tip:

If you are unsure about buying new gear, search for rentals near you! You can rent cameras and lenses for hours or days and test them out! :)
