Canon USA approached me to help them showcase their latest telephoto innovation, the RF 100–300mm f/2.8L IS USM lens. The timing couldn’t have been better—I was headed to Utah to track down some of the local wildlifem, specifically the Elk, Bison, and Bald Eagles. With the addition of a 2x extender, the lens gave me up to 600mm of reach, allowing me to get closer than ever to the sharp details and character of these animals.

I spent seven days exploring the rugged landscapes surrounding Salt Lake City, pushing the lens through every condition imaginable. Every frame in this collection is the result of long hours in the field, balancing light, distance, and timing with the technical reach that this lens made possible. The result: an intimate series that places the viewer within arm’s length of animals that usually remain just out of reach.
