MagMod Photo Challenge - SLR Lounge - 2000x1333

What would happen if you gathered up 8 industry leading photographers into one room and then threw them into a bunch of lighting & portrait challenges?  Well MagMod has definitely found out in their latest video!

Trevor Dayley gathered up these photographers, (Including SLR Lounge’s own Pye Jirsa), and arranged a photo-challenge day giving each team just 10 minutes to plan and create their images for each challenge. Using their creative minds they grabbed up the various MagMod challenge related modifiers to create some pretty unique and inspiring images you have to see to believe! You can follow along with the teams as they brainstorm and plan out their images, make adjustments, and then bring it all together in the end for something epic….oh and you can also enjoy some of the “trash talk” between the Photogs in the BTS portions of the video as well. So without any more rambling, let’s dive into the video below.
