Instead of exchanging gifts, we exchange portraits. In 2020, due to the pandemic, we substituted a different activity for FPP (the Echo Photo Shootout). After a year, FPP is back! This is now the 8th edition and this year, FPP is on-the-spot : participants were randomly paired and each team was given an hour to shoot and submit their entries. The theme for the contest : WEAR YOUR STATEMENT. Participants must photograph their partners using the same concept as the statement shirt they are wearing. Here are the entries : The entries were presented to our guest judges for online voting to determine the top placers.
