00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.080
for years phone manufacturers have been claiming that you no longer need a bulky

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:10.400
and heavy mirrorless or dslr camera to

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:14.880
get professional grade results out of your photography

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:20.640
so to test this claim once and for all we've put together what i would call a

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.760
pretty unique challenge it's going to be

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:28.080
me versus brandon but the fight won't

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:30.960
exactly be fair brandon will be using

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:41.040
the pixel 3. the pixel 3 while i will be equipped with the gfx

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:43.680
50r from fujifilm a 51 megapixel what's

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:48.800
it called medium format so to put this in perspective guys this

00:00:46.239 --> 00:00:53.199
is the tool you would use for fashion photography or like taking the kind of

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:58.160
picture that would get blown up to the size of a building and brandon gets a

00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:01.840
pixel 3. break just started but it's never too

00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:05.920
early to start looking for a new laptop for back to school every origin pc

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.560
laptop is ready for whatever games or school projects you're going to tackle

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:20.549
and you can check out their special deals at the link below

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:27.680
this thing's heavy hey i mean like hey that's my only that's

00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:33.840
the only thing i got going for me here like this thing is i forgot how small the pixel

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:36.079
is to begin with like are you guys ready for your first

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:42.320
challenge yeah i guess so andy hand them the

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:43.840
envelope i feel like i'm on amazing race

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:48.240
there's one envelope we couldn't afford two envelopes that's expensive uh all

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:52.159
right photo challenge number one the action shot for this challenge you will

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:56.159
be judged on these three criteria the sense of speed your photo conveys

00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:59.680
your use of foreground and background contrast the clarity of the action you

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:03.280
will have two laps of track to capture a single best photo gentlemen turn on your

00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:06.880
cameras and may the photo best photo win turn around

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:11.280
one okay hang on wait what

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.160
okay well hold on we don't we're not starting yet i don't

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:18.400
even know how the best photo i don't even know how to turn on the camera so

00:02:16.239 --> 00:02:21.200
this is a 23 millimeter i think that means it's a prime

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:27.280
um shut up

00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:29.280
this is i think my aperture oh my god my

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:33.360
camera is ready yeah smart guy you act like you're happy about this but i know

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:37.200
you'd rather be using this um

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:41.120
oh my god this doesn't seem to do focus i don't think this is changing focus

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:46.319
i really need to know how focus works also this lens is like fisheye i don't

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:50.080
okay i need to change my lens wow that is a big sensor

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:54.640
oh that is hot i think i want my longer

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:59.440
lens for this one i want lots of background blur okay what do i do hold

00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:03.599
on a second ah that goes there oh my gosh shut up watching you change it

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.840
you're holding the sensor it's all i am no no no red dot to red dot okay i

00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:12.560
shouldn't help you i shouldn't i got this don't worry white balance is

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:16.000
set to under water who the hell did that were they trying to me

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:21.280
highlight tone shadow tone what is this

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:24.879
noise reduction minus two let's set that to default i don't have a lot of

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:31.280
confidence in Linus's ability to take photos at the same time oh

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:33.360
i think it's i think it's autofocus that

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.720
medium format fuji i've been using for like three months

00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:41.840
it's amazing okay i just hold the shutter halfway down i know this uh how

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:43.360
do i pick a focus point is it touch no

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:47.680
go away brandon you aren't helping i'm not gonna help

00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:52.879
you i just like watching you suffer i'm gonna turn HDR off because i think that

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:56.799
for action you don't really need and i'm not not quite sure how the processing

00:03:54.799 --> 00:03:59.120
will handle the motion blur if james is gonna be running so i really have no

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:03.120
idea um better to just leave it off oh i have

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:09.519
to unlock it we're gonna actually do this challenge ever shut up i'm working on it so where do we go it's up to you

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:12.000
but mr action photographer i'll let you go first

00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:20.479
you want to walk fast it's all in the hips

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:20.479
i'm as ready as i'm gonna be

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:33.479
okay i didn't even get a picture no i have to get out ahead of him

00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.040
okay

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:03.759
one one lap only i think okay yeah yeah sure

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:03.759
oh man

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:11.759
i'm so this is one of my images

00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:13.440
it's a picture of the track at my feet

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:20.160
that was really hard like i knew i wasn't gonna know how to operate the camera but the

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:22.639
part that i didn't account for was

00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:28.240
being having to get in position against a moving target um

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:32.000
i mean i guess that is the challenge is brandon has the know-how and i have the

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:38.479
better equipment okay brandon you're up

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:40.400
three two one go

00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:46.879
see the way he stands up doesn't he with that yeah no kidding

00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:08.880
it's my whole strategy of like trying to just wait for the parts where james was

00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:13.280
in good light didn't work out quite how i thought because i've never done a 400

00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:17.440
meter sprint while somebody while trying to take a photo of somebody

00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:21.039
and surprisingly that's not that easy to do now

00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:24.639
i think i'm pretty happy with that last shot that i got because with a little

00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:27.440
bit of editing and a crop

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:33.600
i think it'll look pretty good because i'm getting that nice like texture of the building area and the lines from the

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:36.400
track this is also showing me that uh maybe i should take up running

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:41.199
because i'm a little bit out of shape when it comes to that i feel good though

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:45.120
like overall like i could have done maybe a little bit better but i'm

00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:48.240
feeling good okay then

00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:51.919
it's like a fun house in here there's there's a is that is that the trophy for

00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:57.360
whoever wins this oh my god it is amazing photographer genius hey wait

00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:59.680
this is a reused trophy this is from uh nerd sports

00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:04.960
oh okay so what is the challenge the challenge is

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:13.840
editorial fashion photography oh lord is the glitz and glamour of the photo

00:07:11.919 --> 00:07:18.160
world you need to use the lights the space and most importantly the star to

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:21.440
capture the raw emotion that an outfit conveys

00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:25.919
and to sell that merch oh my god

00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:30.440
oh i'm so excited oh my god

00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:38.160
for this challenge you'll be judged on how much the judges actually want to buy

00:07:36.080 --> 00:07:41.680
the clothes presented well i think that's a foregone conclusion yeah i

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:45.280
think that's decided for us already you have 15 minutes with the star to get

00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:48.880
three photos of three different merch items that's not a lot of time i'll be

00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:53.199
honest i'm pretty worried for this next one you can only use the lights that are

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:57.360
on that set but you can use any props any chairs anything else that you find

00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:00.240
inside this room i think you should go first this time oh okay

00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:07.680
all right go ahead brandon i think you're supposed to leave the room for the shoot oh okay

00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:12.639
you can't watch me use these lights and you got to watch me go around the track

00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:17.840
that was different there's no parameters of helpfulness there for me

00:08:15.280 --> 00:08:20.800
okay Colton you ready for this what am i doing put your pants on oh

00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:26.000

that was hard holy crap oh my god this

00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:03.440
experience was weird because it was with my co-worker but i had like i started

00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:06.959
with all my clothes off wait not all of them i had my boxers anyway

00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:11.120

00:10:09.680 --> 00:10:15.120
he's just a he's a natural-born professional you know so i love Colton

00:10:13.839 --> 00:10:19.440
we've worked together for like four years having him be a model is it is a

00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:23.040
weird turn to our relationship but no it was fun it was a lot of fun

00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:26.560
fingers crossed anyway that i managed to pull something that was good off so

00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:31.519
brandon better watch out because i spent the last 15 minutes going through the

00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:35.920
menus of this camera and uh i wouldn't call myself an expert but i figured out

00:10:33.920 --> 00:10:40.480
how to change the iso now so i've got that going for me all right

00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:44.079

00:15:24.839 --> 00:15:31.920
photo this is literally a silver can with gaff tape that says

00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:36.240

dishes

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:51.759
you said i could use anything in this room i'ma let you do this one first

00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:55.040
because i i want to just listen from a distance

00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:59.680
how you deal with because you've never had a dog you have cats i had a dog when

00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:03.680
i was a kid oh you did okay and it's not complicated i know how dog food works

00:16:04.079 --> 00:16:11.920
how am i supposed to make this look appetizing you have 10 minutes what now

00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:14.639
i haven't even had a chance to think yet

00:16:11.920 --> 00:16:17.519
oh my god i was actually feeling okay about the last couple of challenges but

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:22.720
this one i'm deeply worried about like if you guys

00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:23.839
gave us a meal that's actually nice

00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:31.550
then it wouldn't be a challenge that might have been nice yeah what kind of challenge is easy oh my god you need two

00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:33.600
allen keys just okay

00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:40.800
so maybe we don't have him eating it maybe he's just present

00:16:38.880 --> 00:16:44.639
and he looks happy so we've got the tail up

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:51.079
this looks disgusting i mean can i warm it up

00:16:47.040 --> 00:16:51.079
i think it'll help sure

00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:57.519
yeah you don't think warming this up is gonna help it's gonna help a lot

00:17:01.920 --> 00:17:07.760
i need to get all this camera crap up here

00:17:05.760 --> 00:17:10.160
what am i supposed to do with this see if i remember how to use the bloody

00:17:09.280 --> 00:17:16.240
camera this smells so bad look at this it's like

00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:19.839
juicy i'm mixing it

00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:30.520
i don't think you guys could make this look appetizing either

00:17:25.679 --> 00:17:30.520
what if i put like a small like garnish

00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:39.200
this is lipstick on a pig if i've ever seen it

00:17:39.600 --> 00:17:48.320
is my battery dead this is not working maybe i do need dog things

00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:48.320
this stupid thing out of here

00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:55.039
this is like dirty

00:17:53.280 --> 00:17:59.600
is there anything else that i can use to like present it

00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:03.280
this is actually the worst thing i've ever done one time

00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:10.640
i'm screwed i'm done this is it it's

00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:17.520
over oh boy oh no okay oh my god all right

00:18:17.520 --> 00:18:24.880
jesus okay one of these might work let's see

00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:30.000
oh this is gross oh it's hard

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:36.640
jesus okay oh oh god

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:43.840
oh no okay wait um

00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:43.840
can i break this

00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:09.520
okay i'm done calling it how do you feel like

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:14.960
you did you know as good as as appetizing as you can make

00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:19.200
dog food i mean i have a dog she's small and she'd probably love eating that

00:19:17.360 --> 00:19:23.039
photo challenge number four the professional head shot one of the most

00:19:21.120 --> 00:19:26.799
reliable ways to make some quick cash as a starting photographer is to offer

00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:32.640
headshots although it seems easy it demands a steady confident hand which is

00:19:29.120 --> 00:19:34.000
why you'll be shooting from a moving car

00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:37.440
you are in charge of directing the subject to produce a pose and expression

00:19:36.080 --> 00:19:44.400
that would get the most appeal to a potential client you get three drive-bys

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:45.760
at 20 kilometers an hour oh god i'm so

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:49.760
glad you're going first because i need to figure out how to change my shutter speeds

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:53.840
all right wait i have to drive the car don't i yep

00:19:55.280 --> 00:20:01.039
james loves taking his shirt off i'm gonna ask him to take his shirt off and

00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:04.640
give me like a sexy pose is that a head shot though it's a tinder

00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:09.760
profile picture tinder profile picture we're going for a tinder profile picture

00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:11.760
yeah sexy pose head shot

00:20:09.760 --> 00:20:16.000
okay elias you ready to drive and you want the tire on that line in the road

00:20:13.600 --> 00:20:19.640
right yeah okay i'll do my best brandon no promises though

00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:27.760
oh my god okay reverse reverse

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:32.760
okay so guys that was seven kilometers an hour and i think that's probably not

00:20:29.760 --> 00:20:32.760
yeah

00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:40.080
oh god okay

00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:46.159
this is so hard all right

00:20:44.159 --> 00:20:49.600
i have three photos i see what brandon was doing i don't

00:20:48.159 --> 00:20:54.080
think he was using your strengths you like taking your shirt off right oh

00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:57.360
so you're uh you're a pickup kind of guy clean but

00:20:55.919 --> 00:21:01.440
not too clean you've got the button-up shirt but it's

00:20:59.280 --> 00:21:06.080
over the shoulder oh my god i wish i could just use this

00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:08.720
right now get just oh don't move let's

00:21:06.080 --> 00:21:08.720
go let's go

00:21:12.320 --> 00:21:17.150
oh wow

00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:24.159
i have a photo hell yeah i don't know which one of us

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:29.360
is gonna come out of this okay that was probably one of the hardest

00:21:27.360 --> 00:21:33.919
photos that i've ever had to try to take like just technically speaking

00:21:31.520 --> 00:21:37.520
this was not a good performance

00:21:35.520 --> 00:21:43.919
i'm not blaming you james you did your best you did great james 100 110 great

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:46.640
so you ready for challenge number five yeah

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:51.520
i'm not gonna lie i felt pretty good about the first two

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:54.640
the third one i never stood a chance and that last one you're gonna be

00:21:53.120 --> 00:21:58.480
embarrassed for me how badly i bombed it all right well

00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:02.559
we'll see how number five goes then as far as i'm concerned this could go

00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:07.919
either way right now yes it could very much so challenge number five

00:22:05.760 --> 00:22:11.600
the couple's photographer as a photographer it's often your job to

00:22:09.760 --> 00:22:16.080

00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:25.919
james sit sit at his put your head against his belly both of you look in my

00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:30.000
direction cool all right i'm done

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:33.279
it's fine this was far harder but i think i

00:27:31.919 --> 00:27:38.799
actually managed to get a couple shots that i'm pretty happy with so we'll see

00:27:35.679 --> 00:27:41.600
how Linus did welcome back to LTT's

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:44.799
scrapyard cupcake drag race island we have just made our way through five

00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:51.440
grueling challenges where our two contestants have faced off using a pixel

00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:54.240
3 and a gfx 50r adjudicating this panel

00:27:51.440 --> 00:28:00.080
is three experts in the field first edzil yago

00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:03.120
second david gautier

00:28:00.080 --> 00:28:05.760
and third dennis liao i love jogging who

00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:08.080
will vanquish their foe we'll find out next

00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:16.000
okay so that's mine i asked hoffman to enhance it but he

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:20.240
said he didn't have time yeah you didn't edit your photos so i really like the

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:24.559
contrast with the track and the green but then the green kind of mixes in with

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:27.760
the trees behind him what was i supposed to do about him wearing a weird outfit i

00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:33.200
think that's what you're supposed to use your imagination for you could have gotten a higher shots that more of the

00:28:31.840 --> 00:28:37.840
track was behind them you could have gone this is my longest lens

00:28:35.919 --> 00:28:41.760
i'm just criticizing you okay you can't really argue it's done one of the

00:28:40.080 --> 00:28:45.440
criteria was kind of the whole background's contrast versus the

00:28:43.120 --> 00:28:49.360
foreground and i think you do lose james it does feel like he's posing it doesn't

00:28:47.840 --> 00:28:54.080
feel like it's quite capturing the subtleties of what jane was accomplishing on that day the way that

00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:59.760
the light is hitting his face i don't particularly love and i think i might have chosen a different part of the

00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:03.120
track are you a photographer okay you're not supposed to even know

00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:08.159
who took which photo so you should probably just judge the photo obviously

00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:08.159
you took this picture

00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:16.880
i like the contract after the outfit and the right track so i'll give you a

00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:22.399
thumbs up now let's move on to brandon's photo technically speaking i think this

00:29:19.600 --> 00:29:26.880
one is a better photo than the other one just technically i like yours better i'm

00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:29.840
not sure if i'm looking at the guy or the stands i wish you could have

00:29:28.320 --> 00:29:33.360
captured it where the track was a uniform color and there wasn't the blue

00:29:31.679 --> 00:29:38.000
uh but overall i think this is actually an excellent photo and the subject's

00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:41.840
pretty pop-up but it's a little bit dark he looks happier than yours

00:29:42.399 --> 00:29:47.760
oh not bad i think where this one kind of fails is

00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:51.039
that i don't see the merch so i don't know what i'm buying you did a good

00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:54.559
photo here but i don't think it quite sells the merch to me i would argue that

00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:57.600
most of the best advertisements just look like people having fun using the

00:29:56.080 --> 00:30:01.120
thing and are not focused on the product well then it's good you're not judging your own photos

00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:06.640
you're just not showing much about the products more about accordance face

00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:12.399
which is not important i think we have a very biased judge in the panel

00:30:09.679 --> 00:30:16.799
it looks like he's happy and just doing something the problem is i don't know

00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:19.679
what it is i want to buy interesting idea of having your subject posing in

00:30:18.159 --> 00:30:24.320
the background but i don't see enough of him so i get my like my fancy tickled

00:30:22.080 --> 00:30:30.240
but not quite satisfied and so it's not a bad photo but i don't love this one

00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:32.399
well i appreciate the logo being visible

00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:37.120
the hat on that dark table doesn't tell me anything about how it fits i think it

00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:41.600
was a waste of having your model in the back and not wearing it i don't like

00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:46.640
this one either yeah i'm not so i really like this photo i think it's lots

00:30:43.760 --> 00:30:50.960
of fun you use the sandals which i think is excellent i think that's a great use

00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:54.240
of part of our branding and so i really like this i think there's obviously a

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:58.399
little bit of trouble with the exposure the fun more than makes up for it and i

00:30:56.320 --> 00:31:03.360
love this photo coda's face is a little bit hot on his right side Colton's just

00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:08.240
a hot guy as a consumer if i see this on your

00:31:06.320 --> 00:31:13.679
website i wouldn't want to buy this hoodie all i want to buy is a pair of

00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:15.919
jeans for him to wear

00:31:13.679 --> 00:31:21.760
this picture actually sells me on something the best from what i've seen

00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:26.720
so far i can see myself being in that hoodie excellent i also

00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:30.880
don't wear pants all the time so it really speaks to me

00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:35.840
i think it's a good smile but yeah it's just an okay photo i actually

00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:37.519
i like this picture among all the others

00:31:35.840 --> 00:31:42.000
than the best because i like the happiness his brain to me so

00:31:40.399 --> 00:31:47.440
just watching this picture i want to buy two water bottles while all the other

00:31:44.080 --> 00:31:49.600
pictures kind of let me imagine myself i

00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:53.919
would never be going like this with my water bottles

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:57.279
like anna just screams corporate to me i still like the idea of this photo i

00:31:55.679 --> 00:32:01.840
think it's fun to be playing with the water bottle and i think it's important

00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:05.360
to sell merch with fun not just style and i think you did a good job getting a

00:32:03.360 --> 00:32:09.200
good performance out of Colton as an ad for the water bottle this is kind of

00:32:07.120 --> 00:32:12.240
terrible uh i think it's actually out of focus

00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:16.799
his eyes kind of look a little dead or scary or something yeah i don't think

00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:21.840
you nailed it on this photo the logos and the designs actually really pop with his

00:32:19.760 --> 00:32:27.840
face he's like really surprised that he got this t-shirt or something this photo

00:32:24.320 --> 00:32:30.799
again feels like it's a salesman holding

00:32:27.840 --> 00:32:34.720
up a thing that he wants me to buy it happens to be that

00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:38.799
in fairness to brandon but it doesn't make me want to buy it it

00:32:36.399 --> 00:32:42.960
doesn't make me picture myself wearing it and i actually thought that could

00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:47.200
have been a towel actually this picture is amazing you can see the food it

00:32:45.360 --> 00:32:50.240
actually looks pretty tasty i know i'm not supposed to eat pet food

00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:56.559
but they are selling it to me and i'm not sure if it's actually pet food

00:32:54.159 --> 00:32:59.679
but it it looks good when you microwave the food during the

00:32:58.320 --> 00:33:03.120
challenge i was a little concerned for your sanity but you proved me wrong and

00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:08.159
it actually made it kind of come together and look a little more appetizing you're trying to tell the

00:33:05.919 --> 00:33:14.559
audience that the stock you have too much going on this picture i like the

00:33:11.919 --> 00:33:17.760
other colors that contrast with the bowl and the food but

00:33:16.320 --> 00:33:23.200
it does seem kind of distracting and the food doesn't

00:33:20.399 --> 00:33:26.720
look like food i like the pose i like the ARM crossing

00:33:25.120 --> 00:33:31.760
it looks like he's trying to sell me a house or maybe trying to sell me renovation services that i would

00:33:29.600 --> 00:33:35.760
probably consider buying the lighting is a little bit off uh i think i lose his

00:33:33.760 --> 00:33:39.679
eyes but i think you did a really good job considering you're sitting in the

00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:44.320
back seat of a car and so good job i would not buy a building from this guy

00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:49.200
he looks a bit shady the framing is okay could be better on linkedin maybe

00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:49.200
that'll work

00:33:49.919 --> 00:33:55.120
so i love this photo maybe for the wrong

00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:59.200
reasons i think you were going for tinder profile you succeeded i think

00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:03.120
using the pickup as a background instead of trying to find a neutral space was a

00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:06.559
strong choice for tinder profile yeah you can see a lot of pictures like this

00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:12.000
but you might be single forever because it's such a douchey look

00:34:09.359 --> 00:34:16.800
what about grinder like for a one night stand he seems like

00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:20.079
a pretty good choice a relationship probably not

00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:23.520
i want to print this on a canvas i want to put it up in my house i want to make

00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:28.399
this a movie poster i want to make it the cover of my 17 love songs of 2004

00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:33.200
album and so overall as a set i think it's good there's so much diversity they look

00:34:31.520 --> 00:34:37.599
like they're having fun and man that last photo is excellent i love it you

00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:42.079
can feel that moment just quiet and happiness the marriage is good it's

00:34:39.919 --> 00:34:47.679
working out i wouldn't ask for the full refund but i might ask for a discount

00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:52.159
because it's a little bit overexposed if i were pregnant or my partner was

00:34:49.839 --> 00:34:57.280
pregnant who really cares if like a picture is perfect but has no emotion

00:34:54.560 --> 00:35:00.839
this has all of the emotion and it's good enough this one ended up being by

00:34:59.520 --> 00:35:05.359
far my best photos awesome we are gonna we'll print

00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:10.160
it on a display i think this is a really strong set and as individual photos you

00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:15.359
might have beaten Linus on any of them except for the last one that one's so

00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:17.520
good but as a set they're kind of like

00:35:15.359 --> 00:35:21.520
one note i love the colors i think like the exposure is good i think the emotion

00:35:19.520 --> 00:35:25.200
of this is pretty good but then they're in the same pose and so now i can see

00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:30.079
more of the world and i like this field but it's kind of the same photo just

00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:33.280
like zoomed out as a set it doesn't tell the story uh lance's pictures are like

00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:37.520
for about a married couple but this couple

00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:41.760
looks like they're getting divorced i don't feel the happiness if i were the

00:35:39.200 --> 00:35:45.920
client i think it's the wrong emotion it makes me feel like they just got some

00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:49.280
bad news that they're they're going to lose the babies thank

00:35:47.839 --> 00:35:54.880
you so much for your photos excellent job to both of you and so good job guys

00:35:52.240 --> 00:35:57.760
thank you thank you gentlemen while you untuck backstage the judges will

deliberate their answer and come back with the winner

00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:07.440

LMG.gigi pia Linus two we're gonna have

00:36:47.200 --> 00:36:50.000
that linked below

00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:57.440
we have deliberated long and hard and we have come to a decision

00:36:55.200 --> 00:37:01.359
this was much closer than anyone expected

00:36:59.359 --> 00:37:06.160
and you both did an excellent job but the winner of today's challenge is Linus

00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:13.440
very one-sided competition honestly like your photo of james

00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:17.280
i liked way more than mine if we'd had double

00:37:15.680 --> 00:37:22.720
the amount of time i think you would have crushed me on every single challenge

00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:25.119
i was crazy lucky more than once

00:37:22.720 --> 00:37:28.000
even around the track yep that was the one

00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:31.359
action shot that i had that was remotely in focus

00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:35.599
brandon your punishment is to take a photo of Linus with this trophy with

00:37:33.359 --> 00:37:37.839
