It is no state secret that Canon is a brilliant brand as well as a market leader within their industry. This is something that I have always known to be true, hence the reason why my first DSLR camera I bought (in November 2019)  was a Canon.
The past three months have not only solidified that statement for me but has also created a life long brand relationship that I will never stray from.

I recently participated in an equine photography course (Canon Equilight) hosted and run by Canon South Africa. The training course comprised of interactive online sessions, homework assignments per session, as well as a practical training day where we got to meet the Canon South Africa team and try out some of the latest Canon gear.

The course content was presented by two of Canon’s ambassador photographers, Hilary O’Leary and Dave Hann. The knowledge and skills learned from them both were invaluable as they are experts within their chosen photography fields.

The course ended off with a final assignment. Each student was allowed to submit only one photo judged by a panel of four photographers. The theme of the assignment was “where our dreams will take us”.

My photo received first place in the assignment, along with the most incredible prize of a new Canon EOS RP mirrorless camera and lens. I still have to pinch myself that this beauty is now mine, thank you Canon!!

I am so grateful for the opportunity given to me by Canon South Africa to learn alongside the best in the industry. Also, for the support and guidance that was given to all of the students who participated in this course.
Canon is the brand that will help me go “where my dreams will take me”.
