I was told about this show and OMG, what the hell, the contest is ** it is the worst i have ever seen, what made them think that this would be worth watching, its pure crap……
lol
Sooo… When is season 2? 👀
Good idea spoilt by having bloody yanks on it. Always over the top, drama queens the whole country!!
Stupid.
I just loved the initiative, lot of people will hate, another lot of people will live. A very good beginning, congrats!
The whole Reality TV style is the worst
Lets bring in six instagram photographers and have them compete with studio shooting…
Nextseason could you guys get the nikon guy and von wong, fro knows photo. That would be super fun
Roxy was really nice
Anyone else notice that Scott Borrero, who ends up winning the show, in this episode, the scene where Nigel is explaining the show to them, Scott is the only one with nice noticeable grin? Lol he was super excited. Almost like he knew his fate.
Why anybody is 40 or older or heavier than 150?? This is not about modeling, it's about photography skills!
All these people out here crying about Andrew… Jesus people, he is an average instagram photographer, copying other instergramers, nothing more. What did you expect?
Best reality show idea <3
Chris Palermo needs his own spin off – he made the entire show.
Gorrillaaaaaaa. Telemundo
Great show! Going to binge watch the rest of the shows now…
Great show, I enjoyed this a bunch
i thought it was a real competition, it feels more a big commercial for canon and adorama. but i love the idea. It can be a good show with 16 or 25 candidats and real challenges during monthes. this show looks like a mini top chef caricature
I am ready for Season 2! (hint hint)
I finished the season when it first came out, it is so intriguing and fuels my passion, so I rewatch it on my free time. Hopefully there will be more seasons !!
Thank God! At last a show that celebrates American superficiality and the need to turn EVERYTHING into a judged competition. Because, you know, we need more of them:-(
Andrew is not an action sport photographer, I follow him he has amazing work with outdoor and d lifestyle photography. I feel like everyone else had an advantage because they had some knowledge with sport photography except Andrew. He would have definitely won if it was outdoor photography. At least give them something they all have knowledge in.
It's kinda funny seeing the awkwardness between Nigel and the contestants, LOL
So if you shoot with a Nikon you're in trouble because they only provide you with Canon equipment. Wondering if they were told or only looked for photographers that shot with Canon. Some people might think a camera is a camera but they'd be wrong, I enjoyed the 1st episode so now it's on to the rest.
omg they are so cool !!!
I would spend the most time looking at Scott's pic. The fact that half the athlete's face was masked by shadow was great; he wears a mask in competition. Not being able to see his foil makes it seem as if he's punching in a fight; which is also something that works because he's in a competition.
this episode just showed me that these days photographers are so bad without post pros
Really good videos. Just subscribed!
Photography should be graded or a competition I think. They are different styles of photographers so this don't make sense
How can I be on top photographer?
season 2 please
