Feedback

When we were setting the Empower briefs, we immediately had a multi dog challenge in mind, building on the skills we taught for the Double Trouble challenge in Emerge. After all, who doesn't love groups of dogs (or other pets)?

This is a portrait challenge so intentional posing and composition are a must and we wanted to see all dogs nicely in focus.

We were completely blown away (do we sound like broken records at this point?), but truly, one of the most incredible sets of submissions we've EVER seen. 🤯

We reckon a shoot gets about 10x more challenging for every extra animal added into the mix and you all rose to the challenge as always!

So this week we want to extend our congratulations to everyone who submitted for Multi Mania, and of course a special mention to our top 10. Well done everyone. 

Challenge Brief

Create a posed portrait of three or more pets (no humans), ensuring all subjects are perfectly sharp. Our preference for this challenge is for you to capture the shot in-camera, though composites are allowed, with special attention paid to a consistent plane of focus.
