  • the fact that these people are only reached via webcam and not in person really loses impact and doesn't make me care about the people (which a reality show should do). while yes the big reason why most of us are here is to improve our photography, i think if DigiRev had another go at this, they need to bring the people in to have a more meaningful show. Love that you all are doing this though, just thought I'd lend some ideas.

  • @TaylorrRoyy Yea well as awesome as that would be I dont think they have the money

  • Kai is so horrible at letting the contestants know they're being eliminated.

  • i wish Alamby would email me

  • The arrogance of some photographers really surprises me, the competition has rules, it was about a photo booth, so photograph a booth, don't be so vain and follow your own theme.

  • I think some people lost the concept of the comp requirements, half the pics didn't contain a photo booth, stop being a hippy and and follow the rules.

  • The best

  • FOR THE HOOD!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Nobody from HongKong got picked? DigitalRev's home base?

  • that russian photographer had an amazing pic! the isolation of the subject and the brightness of colors on the subject was WOW

  • @DoCWaSaBe She was the winner for me.

  • How do you apply for the next tournament or whatever

  • Well that's a good critique, just calling somebody crap, I mean I'm not saying I'm any better than crap, but it's not all too easy to adjust.

  • thigh action lol

  • wide angle and big thighs..nah.. LOLOLOLOLOL

  • Hey, I'm Firas Hashlamoun from Palestine, I Love Photography :)

  • @8375705 Actually he is known as a homo sapien, an intelligent life form of the planet earth.

  • @sethboy66 cheers.

  • I'm a Windows user.....

  • WTF was that piece of shit? Orson's photo was one of the worst things i have ever seen. Jesus that was horrible.

  • @teknoplayer Well thanks, I can take it. I also believe I should have been out in this round already. I'm not really the best photographer, but I mean at least I got into the contest.

  • @OrsonMyles Well yeah you got into the contest but at least you could've use that privilege because if you got in, someone had to be kicked out, someone who would probably do something much better than what you did, it just seems that you played with the other contestants. And I'm sure that you could make something a trillion times better than that pos (sorry, but let's face it that was shit). It's not entirely your fault, the judges were very stupid to kick some better(ish) photos, like João's.

  • @OrsonMyles And, according to your entry video you can take nice photos like the last one that you show in that video.

  • i thought charlies was 2nd best ....

  • what camera is judge mark chung using when he is introduced??? (i mean the small one not the hasselblad)

    does anybody know? :)

    thanks

  • I like how you pronounced "João". I was expecting for a brazilian for me to cheer up in the show.

    I guess portuguese is close enough.

  • 0:55 Wow, you look like bow-tie Tsang. LOL

  • Ouch at the wide angle and the thighs .. poor model -- being focused on her thighs :(

  • Do that:

    Step 1: Click 3:30 and don't look at the video.

    Step 2: Say hello to Kate Nash.

  • is there a page where we can view all the photos by the contestants?

  • @airwind We post a lot of our photographs at thedailyphotographer . com

  • Why the f-ing hell is he waving his Polaroid at 9:40?

    Jeez!

  • Good show concept

  • how the fuck does orson not get voted off? did anyone see that piece of shit? just take Talented out of the video series name. Am i the only one that saw that?

  • @TheBozz999 Hey there. Thanks for the critique. I really accept it, and I must admit through this competition I am really learning that I aren't that great of a photographer yet. I'm good at what I do (which is streetphotography), but I must become more diverse. Cheers

  • @TheBozz999 yeah, how did Charlie's work get put up for elimination instead of Orson's?

  • @TheBozz999 I saw it, what a pile of...

  • @TheBozz999 which one is Orson ?

  • girl with a pearl necklace LMAO

  • I want Kai's job. This would be awesome...

  • aww man... who knew I could vote a lifeline! okay, i missed the first one... anxiously awaiting the next episode!

  • @mikewinburn lol. me too.

  • Love the Crit!!!

  • i want to see episode 2 !

  • I wish they had older contestants, these all seem like they just got out of high school

  • @NanouoMusic One of the contestants is married, and I'm over 30. That's not exactly "just out of high school."

  • @BlownMacTruck I know but I meant the majority of them, am I wrong? most of them look less than 25

  • @NanouoMusic Yes, you're initial statement was incorrect - we are not ALL just out of high school. And if you look at all the audition videos (most of which are still up), the age skews younger. What are they supposed to do, call it off because they need a few older folks in there? Not that complicated.

  • @BlownMacTruck well obviously they wouldn't call it off for lack of age diversity but I wish that there were people with a bit more experience (hope you don't take that the wrong way), but I guess not many seniors watch youtube videos lol

  • Made me burst with ideas on where to take the "photobooth" concept. If only I'd known at an appropriate time, although would I have had as much inspiration if I hadn't seen the routes other people took? Even those that don't make it through, provide creative sparks for many others through their enthusiastic and talented explorations of the theme.

  • Will a Fujifilm Finepix S1800

    Work with a Zeikos 52/58mm fisheye attatchment or will i need an adaptor?

    Thanks in advance.

  • he speaks like divya katdare

  • viva joao silva from portugal!! :D

  • Comment removed

  • I feel quiet sad for them right now.

    I don't XD

  • Chloe is the best! She has such artistic ideas and really unique photos! Hope she wins!

  • So much buttfustration

  • 睇你地做睇到我LISTENING都好左haha...我追開你­地架!!! 呀kai幾時講中文? 好期待唔知點解~

  • 整D俾香港人玩下啦haha ... support you DRTV!! FROM HONG KONG 荃灣XD

  • i would have taken a male and female into the booth with a more intimate interaction shall we say

  • If this was on TV....

  • KEEP CHARLIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Brian (Y)

  • Wow, those were some sucky photos. I'd get rid of ten contestants after seeing that.

  • @GodOfReptiles you're obviously not a photographer or are you just an ass, no real photographer would ever dump on anothers work like that.

  • @dielav Two real photographers just did, didn't you watch the video? They wanted to say some of the photos were shit but were polite and said it nicely. You're not a real photographer if you think there are no shitty photos.

  • i love them soo much

  • Joselito Tagarao nailed this one for me.. IMHO and all! Awesome picture.

  • I really appreciate the fact that you introduced the challenge before showing what the contestants did. It gives me time to think what I would do if I was given this challenge.

    Please continue to introduce the challenge that was given before showing (or even hinting at) what the contestants have done so that I can formulate my own idea of how I would tackle the challenge.

    I look forward to the next episode. Thank you!!!

  • @Bokehliciouss He was joking about being arrogant and vain.... Christ, why don't people see that? Do you not understand comedy? HE LAUGHED AT THE END!!!!! loooooooooool. And hes casual, that's his style and he is entitled to it - besides, wouldn't this competition be boring if everyone was the same? It's nice to have a mixture of abilities and personalities. I for one am not amazing, but I'm determined at least (:

  • I feel sad now that i missed entering :( Have another one sometime. :P

  • Latvija!

    Labs Arni!

  • Russian girl's photo is the best.

  • @ProDaviid very surreal feel to it :) lovely

  • Jamaican ftw!!!!

  • Max Delgado is fucking hipster trash.

  • Comment removed

  • @OrsonMyles umad brah? sounds kinna mad tu meh

  • @21alt3go Then stop watching, because he's in for the long haul ;)

  • "Wide angle and big thighs....out!"

  • one of the best initiatives DRtv has ever taken..reality TV at its most interesting!

    the whole video is very nicely edited !

  • what if Dom Bower was to critique these photos? :D

  • there are no photoboots in south argentina, patagonia.... mmmhhh, what can i do?

  • Great video! It can help me learn and entertain at the same time!

    BTW, I own a Mac and I still don't understand the pun on "photobooth"? =/ LOL maybe I'm just stupid..

  • Comment removed

  • "I don't" :P

  • I love DRTV... But fuck watching a 25min vid lol

  • The elimination process is AWKWARD.

  • lol the hipster got mad and got busted

  • any chance we get to see the full submitted video by each contestant, so that we get to know the story behind each contestant's work better in the coming weeks? Thanks!

  • @gidyeo Well most of us are submitting them to our channels ^-^ I've suggested making a page so you can all watch the full length stuff, see our websites, and perhaps join in on the challenges for fun :D

  • REALITY TV @ its best!!!!! 

  • "If she was nude it would be better"

    "YES I'd definitely like that!"

    XD made my day!!!

  • I think Charlie should be saved.

  • This is the Photography version of Big Brother haha

  • @andremp03 If only we were all in a house together - these guys are epic fun!

  • I thought the one of the collage was DREADFUL! Not even an idea.

    And Arnis' photo i think was the worst of the bottom 3, an idea. But in the end, if you saw that in a magazine, or gallery. You would have no idea what its all about, just a portrait, and an average one at that...

    At least with the other photos they followed the brief. If you don't at least stick to the brief at least a tiny bit, Then they should be in the bottom...

    I thought the one in the shower was borderline good/bad.

  • @rorrt The problem is that you guys didn't hear or see our full videos. because there is a reason why I actually made it strange, abstract, confusing, and if you want to say so horrible. But of course they had to cut that part out of the video. So I agree. It can be viewed as DREADFUL.

  • @OrsonMyles

    Awww. I feel really bad now...

    It wasnt that b-aaa-d...

    But that said, any photo should be able to communicate easily (as the others did) the brief. I don't own a mac, so i wouldnt understand the pun on "photobooth"...

    Still i can't want to see you taking some photos with a proper camera.

  • @rorrt np. I also believe I could have easily been up for elimination. Thanks

  • @rorrt I see where you're coming from, kinda.. But in just 1 week it's so much harder to think of something that completely sticks to it, is a good idea, has a good concept/story, and is visually stunning. Not to mention doing the video about it after haha. We only have 1 week and a lot of us are very busy, so it's even tougher (:

  • @Amaalrae

    I also agree, i just finished a a photography course, an i know that getting a brief and making it look original is very hard.

  • Orson was the worst really, how come the ugly as hell photo made the cut?

  • @Piitsi The problem is that you guys didn't hear or see our full videos. because there is a reason why I actually made it strange, abstract, confusing, and if you want to say so horrible. But of course they had to cut that part out of the video.

  • Наталья, давай!! За Питер, за Россию!))

    Очень переживаю за тебя! :)

  • I think the leviatating photo booth one should have bee eliminated.

  • the russian girl one is stunning

  • I vote for Varzina, Joselito and the girl with the floating booth. Forest taber if I reaaaally had to choose 1 more.

  • i would get rid 3 of them, but i want this show to be long and interesting!

  • oh that ball rolling and dominoes and etc... that idea was already used! he is recycling the idea and made it worse.

  • i dont want to keep three of them lol.

    they suck. especially the one uses macbook photobooth and make somewhat tacky collage. why is he even in the competition? i really like the one with bare feet. i agree if that was nude, that would be perfect. but i dont think you can be nude in public LOL. and she looks underage too.

    oh and that polaroid guy.. i know he is wayyyy deep, but stop being super hipster.

  • @DigitalRevCom I think you announce what the next subject/word is at the end of each episode, epic series though, looking forward to the next one!

  • Watch till the end (after ending spot) :)

  • this show needs to be syndicated. i think this is digitalrev's best video idea yet!

  • 14:08

    Mark: "if she was nude...."

    Kai: "that would be better?"

    Mark: "that would be excellent!"

    Kai: "i'll difinitely like it!"

    lol!

  • Comment removed

  • big fan of Mark Chung!!!

  • Awesome! Many nice shots to choose from :)

  • I agree with a lot of what was said in the video. Your video doesn't tell the story, only your photo can. The photo has to stand alone and allow anyone to see or understand what's going on. Two of them looked like a portrait and a few others looked more like "pictures"... snapshots if you will.

    Judging seemed very fair for the photos in this round.

  • AHH I wish I was in the contest (being criticized!)

  • russian girl yearhhhhh %)

  • 5:18 is probably my favorite

  • ohh man they all are good there is so much work in all of this pictures

  • @sephid2v at last 1 person who isn't calling us a hipster or hating on us or whatever lol

  • @sephid2v Thanks, like Orson said, atleast one person who appreciates all the hard work we put into it. You can see my making-of video on my youtube-page btw.

  • At first I was considering to write an angry comment on how bad some of these photos are and question why they are even in the competition. However, these judges are phenomenal and I agree with most of what they say. It's great that they are not trying to censor their criticism.

  • i wish i could of joined...im way more creative than majority of these people, hopefully there will be a most talented photographer part 2

  • how did michele and max make it through when charlie is up for elimination? If your photos need an explanation you missed your mark

  • Great show this week. Really nice put together.

  • 05:38 Charlie appears as though he's taking a dump in the woods.

  • worth the 25 minutes \m/

  • photographer: if she were nude, she...

    kai: (quicky reponded) that would be better, excellent.. I would definately like it

    me: lol

  • I choose Charlie...I cannot believe the picked him for elimination...WE SHOULD BE THE JUDGES...not just two professional photogs....after all photography is subject to everyones interpretation...just like Art.

  • @BarrysBit The problem is, after reading loads of Alamby stalker comments and she should win because she is hot or He is from Portugal etc. etc. it would become a popularity contest.

  • @OrsonMyles Exactly. And it's not like the public isn't entitled to their opinion. They are... and they are giving that in full force, right here in the comments-section. Some leave good comments, but most comments are really quite hateful and bitter. I, for one, don't think that qualifies as proper judging.

  • hey watch this video watch?v=pIh7tY3GQG4, go to 0:35, a girl version of Kai.

  • @BearProducer Dude, i dont know how you found that video but you were right....she looked exactly like Kai...kinda grossed me out. lol

  • bloody sucks; all of then! Way to take a vacation by yanking talentless hacks chains you wankers.

  • 23:26 he looks like he's gonna cry

  • Linking youarenotaphotographer would be a very mean thing to do here. LOL

  • why was I not invited!?!

  • "I don't" Hahahhahaa perfect ending!! I love the fact that he's like a mean teacher! Adds to the charm of the contest!

  • Barefooted girl in the booth was my fav, truley brilliant shot.

    great series.

  • Very nice competition. Keep it up DRTV!

  • Hmmm. None of these pics blew my drawers off. It is like there was too much work on props and background nonsense and not enough on the photos. Hope that changes. Weegee would have never built any of that shit. LOL.

  • @quint150 Uh, did you miss the ENTIRE point where I mentioned it's a lounge dedicated to Weegee? And that I didn't build ANYTHING? And that the point of this round was PHOTOBOOTH? And that my interpretation was a melding of his style, in a lounge dedicated to him, with a taste of noir to match the environment?  Or are you really just that dumb?

  • @BlownMacTruck Sort of thin skinned aren't you? I wasn't referring to you, The Russian girl was the winner of this round in my opinion. My comment was toward the other props and my point was that Weegee would not have to build anything to take a good photo. Or are you really just that dumb?

  • @quint150 *shrug* Perhaps you should learn to communicate better, as it clearly sounded like you indicating I built all sorts of stuff for my photo.

  • @BlownMacTruck I see your point. GOOD LUCK!!!!

  • This should be on television! it beats the ever living crap out of every other so-called "reality" (scripted) shows

  • This is a pretty fucking awesome series.

  • Will it be too late to join in? I would've love to be able to participate had I known about this earlier!

  • the judges are saying what im thinking...

  • Feels like my art classes with the critiques

  • LAME!...

  • "I don't" haha, that guy is excessively harsh. This show is awesome! I wish I participated in it!

  • Oi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! guy from the US dont shake the fucking instant film it merges the pigment sin the picture you armature

  • )Natalia is russian photogenius)

  • nice dicky-bow

  • But will our judges...
