Reader 1Chloé Brown
Camera: Canon EOS-1D X
Location: ScotlandChloé’s photography niche is creative horse and dog portraiture,
and she is trying abstract and environmental portraits for the
first time to push her photography skills. Due to its high-speed
shutter range and low-light capability, Chloé’s main camera for
horse-related photography is a Canon EOS-1D X, paired with a
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM that is almost always attached
to the camera. Chloé uses this setup for 99% of her photography,
and says that it is also fantastic for portraits.

Camera: Sony Alpha 7 III
Location: BristolGabriela typically specialises in male portraiture, so she happily
jumped on a chance to shoot with a female subject – especially
to try posing a model for a more commercial purpose. Gabriela
shoots at a fast and energetic pace, and always loves to push the
boundaries with quirky poses and camera positions. Her Sony A7
III, paired with a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art lens, is ideal for
capturing subjects in most conditions. As Gabriela often covers
music events in nightclubs, having a fast-aperture lens is crucial.
