APPRENTICE
NAME: REBECCA REDMOND
CAMERA: CANON EOS 6D MK II
LIVERPUDLIAN Rebecca has been interested in photography for more than a decade. She has a chronic illness that can make moving around painful and leave her out of breath, but that hasn’t stopped her getting out and taking award-winning pictures. She regularly experiments with self-portraiture at home and would love to know how to get more out of studio lighting. She shoots with a Canon EOS 750D but we set her up with a Canon EOS 6D Mark II – so she could see the step up in quality with a full-frame body.

REBECCA’S COMMENT
“I met up with Emma at her studio in Manchester and our first model was Cece Sinclair. She has dark skin so Emma suggested shooting her against a bright background for maximum contrast when shooting in black and white. We started off shooting with natural light using the large window in her studio. To begin, I used Aperture priority mode and opened the aperture on my 50mm lens fairly wide to f/2.5 to let in loads of the available window light
