On July 24th Alison Grippo (jb photographer often known for her Friday Night Fights series) is participating in a rather interesting event:

PHTHRD: Master-Disaster Photography Duel is a timed photography competition between teams of photographers, stylists, make-up artists, and assistants. Through a series of rounds, each photo team will have to create an image that best responds to a given theme. After each round, images will be voted upon by the audience and the winners will progress.

5 teams of 1 photographer, 1 stylist, 1 make-up artist, and 1 assistant will have 2 hours to produce 3 images that address creative briefs assigned to them at the event. For their tools, they will have access to their own photo equipment, a designated area, a female model, male model, select props and members from the LVHRD audience.

As photographers and their teams create each image, attendees will walk through the space observing the creative process at work. At the conclusion of the evening, photographers will have 1 day to edit their images before online voting begins.

All photos from the evening will be displayed on the LVHRD or event partner sites. Event attendees and an online audience will then vote on their favorite images.

Buy your tickets ASAP if you want a spot to see this. I should mention the event will have good eats, Dewar’s whisky, and, according to the website, it’s also being held in “an amazingly secret venue.”

We’re rooting for you, Alison!
