Ejiro Dafe only works with a 50mm lens, making him an ideal candidate for the first professional tester of the Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM. “The 50mm focal length allows you to rely on instinct, but at the same time, the fixed focal length limits your options and forces you to be more creative,” he says. London-based photographer and creative director Ejiro Dafe works on commercial projects in a special way: he uses only one 50mm lens to create images.

I also loved photojournalism, and all the photographers who became my reference point worked with prime lenses.
