I'm finally recovering from the Pro Prints Invitational in Colorado. Hundreds (or most likely more) submitted entries to the first round and eventually 6 were chosen to compete in the finals.
Pro Prints created a rock star environment for them by renting an air b&b ranch in Colorado. Then they designed 5 different unique sets for each contestant to shoot. Models, costumes, lighting, backdrops and incredible props were at each station.
Each finalist was given a shooting time limit for each station. Then when the shooting was finished they had 3 hrs to edit their 1 submission for judging.
Every entry was worthy of winning!
Judges were allowed to go through the images multiple times and discuss all the pros and cons together. We all saw different things and were able to freely discuss all the aspects that we each might have missed if the discussion wasn't so open. In the end our decision was unanimous but again, truly all 6 images were astounding and worthy of winning.
Over the next few weeks Pro Prints will be releasing videos showing what took place leading up to the final video where the one image and the winner will be revealed.
I believe each image submitted and its maker will also be showcased as well.
I can't wait for everyone to get to know the photographers and see the work they produced!
Stay tuned! There's never been anything like this that I know of in our industry!
