GPP Photo Week 2012 Shoot-Out

GPP Photo Week 2012 Shoot-Out

The third Shoot-Out: David Hobby, Gregory Heisler and Martin Prihoda had 15 minutes to make one picture of a surprise subject. Joe McNally heckled.

About the event

The third GPP Shoot-Out closed GPP Photo Week 2012 on Saturday 10 March at 6:30pm in the Dubai Knowledge Village Auditorium. Entry was free.

Three of the visiting photographers each had 15 minutes, editing included, to produce a single photograph. The subject, a self-portrait theme, was revealed only on the night. They could use any mix of ambient and artificial light, but only inside the auditorium. Joe McNally compered, which in practice meant heckling them throughout. A slideshow of student work from the week's workshops was also shown at the closing.

Dubai Media City and Dubai Studio City supported the Shoot-Out. Karen Lenz filmed and edited the video of the night.
