[@reinhardblischke8996]

I really love this series of "5-minutes-shots" by different photographers - it is amazing! People are so versatile, even in taking photos!

[@briiinumzeme8792]

Inta Lankovska just wow! Did such a great job, loved the photos and her approach

[@IntaLankovska]

Thank you so much! This was so much fun and I was actually surprised at how much we can do in 5mins! :)

[@ngonzale3]

It's refreshing to see some of the best in the business, not do everything so perfectly. Some tutorial videos make it look like they had it all figured out, which can be intimidating to assume. You all are awesome.

[@markgriffinphoto]

Love Sam's Nikon kit with a Canon strap, what a messer 🤣great work by all.

[@ericboylan1269]

Sam for sure. His “ring” for the ring of fire was chrome this time instead of brass, right? I love the colors it produced!

[@IntaLankovska]

Magic! This was awesome! Thanks so much for having me!

[@ArnodeBruijn]

Sam rocks!

[@mareksuchy2432]

super 🙂

[@brunogarcez]

Incredible! I identify and work just like inta 🙏🏼

[@fabijimenez.visuals]

Sam Hurd's art amaze me in every video!!

[@eljavix]

Everyone of them created wonderful images considering the constraints.

[@adam_kozlowski]

My favourite series, loving it!

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Lee_Squire]

Loved this challenge! Defintely loved the extra bit of creativity in Sam's shots. I also love how quickly Inta was able to jump in and get some shots with a bit of movement.

[@SirTenoch]

The last photographer was the best by far!!

[@riddhimandas7058]

I tap the video for especially Sam Hurd 😊

[@psalvadori]

You and Sam smashed on composition, my preferred photographers as always

[@denouvel]

[@aloysiuscalvin9467]

Anni Graham ❤

[@aznoy]

Sam Hurd is always my top. The others did great too. I would like to see a challenge with Pierre Lambert as well. Thanks for the vids!

[@Whyducry]

It feels like how I shoot B+G portraits at weddings except not nearly as good as the results here lol this was fun to watch!

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

Haha, yeah true story!

[@kitchenforbegginars]

You rock 🎉❤😊

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

Thanks!

[@alvarob17]

Awesome video. Magic, the bokeh rendering of your manual lens reminds me of a Helios 44 or Biotar lens. Was it one if those?

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

Yes! It’s a new Biotar 58/1.5 by Meyer Optik Gorlitz

[@alvarob17]

@@MagicWeddingPhotographer yes, I'm familiar with Meyer Optik and was looking at that lens. How did you like it?

[@dorota.galazka]

Magic, this is awesome, please give me more :D

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

Have you watched all previous 5min challenges? 👀

[@dorota.galazka]

@@MagicWeddingPhotographer pytasz dzika. OF COURSE!

[@wpuch]

Tym razem dla mnie Sam Hurd rozwalił wszystkich :) This time my favorite is Sam Hurd!!!! Nice!

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

Sam to Sam!

[@kkorzeniec]

Awesome! I've been waiting for a new episode for a long time and I'm not disappointed! Kudos to all involved

[@georgescanvas]

The Italian shooter looks a bit like Geddy Lee

[@thomas.roberts]

Hey, does Imagen make use of graduated filters (or subject filter)? I saw some in on the quick editing montage you had..wasn’t sure if that was Imagen or you.

[@iamsamhurdphotography]

i don’t think they use gradient filters yet, but they do use automatic subject masking to selectively brighten a subject from the background

[@realdxb]

Mostly shot on Canon)

[@craig_m_mi]

The last guy...

[@jonataslima1386]

annigraham, this woman is fuck good... omg

[@hilberryable]

More time for us to see the actual end results would be nice. Flipping through at the end is too fast to see all 6 photographers individual work.

[@apivarnyik6684]

Are you guys really think you are an artist if your photo is black and white or you made lots of bad color looking photos and you just try to hide them. There are too many black and white photos. In my opinion the black and white photo is the past.
