This time, it is not just another new and improved version of their EOS camera bodies or lenses. But surprisingly, this time around they introduce a new series of Canon DSLR called EOS R.

After going through the Basic Photography Course at Canon Imaging Academy and a couple of other photography workshops there, I was inspired to learn more about photography. Or rather, these courses and workshops had open me up to this new world of photography. Strangely, photography isn’t just about those confusing ISO, F-stop numbers or other manual settings. A lot of it has got to do with the lighting. Even more so is the perspective of the photography. You don’t need the most expensive camera or equipment to get that award-winning shot. Over time, photography has branched out into various categories. Studio photography is one such example. The recent workshop (Studio Lighting for Portraits) I’ve…
