alessandra Meniconzi Canon EF 100mm f/2.8l Macro IS USM
take this impactful profile, shot by Canon Ambassador and documentary photographer Alessandra Meniconzi, of a Mongolian eagle hunter. Alessandra had wanted to photograph these hunters for 18 years, fascinated with their hunting techniques after first meeting some in Kazakhstan in the late 1990s. In October 2017, she travelled to the Altai Mountains in Mongolia to realise her dream. “The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8l Macro IS USM telephoto macro lens is great for flattering facial proportions, and the f/2.8 aperture creates excellent depth of field,” she explains. “It’s also very light and discrete. Moreover, the lens has been created for small details – the images really are razor sharp! And finally, you can get closer to your subject.”
