One of the most entertaining events that photographers get to enjoy each year is the annual Gulf Photo Plus shootout, in which 3 photographers each get 20 minutes to take a photo from concept to completion. In 2012, the shootout pinned David Hobby, Martin Prihoda, and Greg Heisler against each other. This year, John Keatley, Lindsay Adler and Zack Arias are the victims participants, and one of last year’s contestants is actually the subject.
In case you’ve never heard of the GPP Shootout, here’s how it works. Three top-notch photographers are tasked with capturing a specific photo/subject from start to finish … in a packed auditorium … in front of 350 people … and two hecklers … in just 20 minutes. Sounds fun right? All work, including setting it up, taking the photo, and post production, must be done in the auditorium in that time frame.
Last year, the three contestants were asked to take self-portraits, and in a very interesting move, famous portraitist Greg Heisler wasn’t even in the “symbolic self-portrait” he put together.
