Heather McClintock is a freelance photojournalist from Vermont, USA. She has spent a large amount of time covering the effects on the Acholi people of the 20-year civil war in Uganda. She has received international recognition for her work and is sponsored by the Blue Earth Alliance to continue work on her Uganda project ‘The Innocent’.
Working in Uganda can be dirty, dusty and arduous, so the simpler and more robust the equipment, the better. Keeping the weight down also helps Heather to travel more easily and frees her from the burden of lots of kit. Her favourite lens is the EF28-70mm f/2.8L USM lens. This is the predecessor to the EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM and has all the same characteristics. “This lens is great for me as it allows me to shoot intimate portraits at the long end, or zoom out to give space to the subject and capture a wider view. It can be a very personal lens to use as it keeps you close to your subject.”
