When you dive seriously into photography, gear becomes more than just equipment, it’s a natural extension of the way you see the world.

Over time, my choices have refined, my needs have become clearer, and I’ve built a setup that perfectly aligns with the way I create: two reliable and complementary bodies (the Canon R5 II and Canon R6 II) and a selection of RF lenses that cover all my styles: portrait, fashion, travel, landscape, and lifestyle.

Two bodies, two energies : Canon R5 II & R6 II

Canon R5 II: absolute precision

The Canon R5 II found its place in my setup thanks to its ability to deliver exceptionally detailed images. Its 45 megapixels, color science, and advanced autofocus system allow me to work with incredible finesse. For fashion portraits, beauty shoots, or editorial projects where every detail matters, the R5 II gives me exactly the quality I’m looking for. It’s a camera built for demanding projects, high-end imagery, and scenes where the final result needs to be flawless.

Canon R6 II: effortless versatility

The Canon R6 II complements the R5 II by bringing a more spontaneous dimension to my craft. I chose it for its versatility, its low-light performance, and its extremely responsive autofocus. Its lighter files let me work quickly and stay focused on the moment. It’s my go-to body for travel, street photography, natural portraits, and all situations where I want to capture emotion without being slowed down by technical constraints.

My lenses : a system tailored to my favorite styles

RF 50mm f/1.8 STM — Simplicity that captures authenticity

The Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 is the lens I use when I want to keep things simple, discreet, and close to my subjects. Its light weight and bright aperture allow me to capture natural scenes, spontaneous portraits, and everyday moments. I chose it because it brings me back to essentials; a reminder that the strength of an image always comes from emotion before technology.

RF 85mm f/1.2 USM — The king of portrait

The Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 is the lens that gives my portraits a unique aesthetic. Its extremely wide aperture creates depth and bokeh that feel almost cinematic. I use it for beauty, fashion, or editorial portraits when I want an elegant, expressive, and visually memorable result. It’s one of my most artistic lenses, the one that gives my work a real visual signature.

RF 24-105mm f/4 USM — The Swiss-army knife

The Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 is the lens I grab when I want to cover as many situations as possible with minimal constraints. Its focal range lets me go from a portrait to a landscape, or from a street scene to a reportage moment without changing gear. It’s stable, reliable, and incredibly practical — saving me time and giving me a lot of freedom during busy days or trips.

RF 70-200mm f/2.8 USM — Elegance from a distance

The Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 allows me to achieve elegant compression that enhances subjects outdoors. With it, I create premium portraits, more dynamic scenes, or fashion images where the background becomes soft and minimalist. Its focal length also lets me work without intruding into someone’s personal space, resulting in more natural, relaxed expressions. It’s the lens I choose when I want to combine elegance, precision, and depth.

RF 16mm f/2.8 STM — Call of creativity

The Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 gives me a bold, more experimental perspective. I use it for landscapes, architecture, travel, or scenes where the environment plays a major role. It pushes me to play with lines, break patterns, and create compositions outside traditional formats. This lens adds a sense of freedom to my entire setup.

Why this setup? Because it reflects my vision and personality

Every piece of my gear says something about the way I photograph. The Canon R5 II embodies my pursuit of precision and high-end rendering, while the Canon R6 II represents my need for spontaneity and flexibility. The RF lenses I chose naturally align with my favorite styles. The RF 50mm reflects my taste for authentic images. The RF 85mm reveals my love for premium aesthetics. The RF 24-105mm keeps me efficient everywhere. The RF 70-200mm brings elegance and depth. The RF 16mm opens doors to more daring compositions. Together, these tools form a coherent setup, designed to allow me to express my vision without limits.

Conclusion

My Canon setup isn’t just a collection of gear, it’s a thoughtful system that has evolved alongside me. Each choice is based on a real need, an experience, a style, or an emotion I want to transmit. Today, this setup allows me to create with intention, stay true to my visual identity, and continue evolving. That’s exactly why each camera and each RF lens has earned its place in my artistic journey.
