How to get started in fashion photography with Wanda Martin

Experienced fashion photographer and Canon Ambassador Wanda Martin explains her techniques to young photographer Rianna Gayle.

For this shoot, she harnessed the wide dynamic range and low-light capabilities of the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II to use only natural light on a dim, indoor shoot. "This camera was love at first sight," she says, having used a Canon EOS 5D Mark II for the past eight years. Both remain in her kitbag and allow her to explore a key element of her photographic style – high ISO.
