In this Las Vegas engagement shoot, we checked out the highly underutilized Canon RF100 F2.8 L MACRO IS USM lens. People may forget about this lens, but it’s really a swiss army knife. You can get tight shots, those macro details, as well as full-body portraits.
But my favorite part of the 100mm Macro lens is that since it’s a prime lens, you can get great compression on the background to create unique images. You can really see that in action in our second scene at the famous Las Vegas sign. It was noisy and full of tourists, but we were able to stay back with our couple, and make the sign appear closer to them because of the background compression this lens provides.
All in all, I highly recommend the Canon RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM lens. If you’re looking for a versatile prime lens that can do it all, it’ll make a great addition to your bag.
For this boudoir shoot, we used the Harold backdrop from Intuition. It’s one of our favorite backdrops we use in the studio because it feels so elegant and clean. The moody, charcoal coloring and smooth texture mimic the walls of a hotel room which really plays for a boudoir style session. There are countless other options, so one Intuition backdrop is sure to match the vibe you’re looking for.
