Follow Lee and Patrick's Puerto Rico Instagram: ➡ instagram.com/fstopperspr/ In this video, Patrick Hall of Fstoppers challenges Pye Jirsa of Impossible Things to a photoshoot in Puerto Rico. The catch? Both photographers have to style their models only using clothes found at Walmart. The budget is also set at $100. Each photographer has to take 3 images that can only be edited using an Impossible Things cloud style. There is no Photoshop allowed at all! Watch all the drama and heckling as the two compete in what we are calling The Walmart Photo Challenge!
The male model seems nice, the female model is breathtaking, the weather looks so-so and your challenges are always absolutely great to watch! Best wishes
For me, #4 was the best picture overall. Patricks set was amazing, his selection of Outfits was really good, only her Shorts where a Little Bit off. Patrick is the clear winner for me.
hey im sorry but i think Patrick rocked this shoot. i think because he made it into a fashion editorial with the clothes. they looked great. also, I think I'm so used to Pye's particular style, Patrick took it out of the box. i loved his images
Another classic Fstoppers video, so fun to watch! You might want to consider making it a longer video & challenge: perhaps a morning, afternoon and evening collage? Or multiple models and switch them half way between teams? tl;dr: we want more :)
The girl won all the comps. When it is broken down to resonance of appeal, a female's grace and beauty will always be the predominant power in all scenarios.
They should’ve also installed taking photos of each other’s style choice. It would’ve been interesting to see what they would’ve came up with. Part 2 maybe?
Great video, I always love the more playful side of youtube like this and still having great tips with the challenge and shit talk. I think Pye did a better job storytelling with his images and poses but I love the lighting and locations that Patrick chose, also sensible footwear so he doesn't kill his models!
This might have been my favourite shoot out so far. Great photography and loved the trash talk. Also, things not to say to your model: Are your shoes stable?
Interesting challenge with great results. Patrick‘s choice of the clothes leaves some room for improvement 😮 😂 … also, I might have asked the girl at 3:08 whether she wanted to be part of this shooting.
This was brilliant. I enjoyed watching this challenge. To be honest I skipped the clothing selection and went straight to photoshoot. I agree the models looks young to be so passionate in the photos but… #2 is my favorite. I didn’t understand what he said about Patrick’s photo about the lady’s head. But this was very nice for me to bring some challenges to my classroom!
I died when he asked which toe would you normally when you're doing this awkward pose..in this cliff.?!!! 😂😂😂 love this 2! Loved the models and the beach! Fav #4
Hahahaha Patrick had a Hissy Fit, okay that was funny, love the banter guys. I thought the votes would have been closer, I actually had a hard time choosing and kept changing my mind, so I would call it a tie👍😎
I liked both shoots. Different styles for different folks. I'm not sure about the trash talking. I guess it makes for good video content? Well done to both sides.
This was a great meetup! Can’t believe you got Pye to come to the island! I’m an Aftershoot ambassador and that looks interesting. Ditch the “per image” business model and stick to unlimited for a fixed cost. That’s why Imagen can’t keep up with us! Booyeah! Also, I challenge Lee to one of these. Let’s go! 😂
Pulling Pye’s arm to come to PR is like offering my dog a banana. 😂 My guess is the per image model is best for people wanting to try it out or super seasonal/part time photographers who don’t always have consistent work. I like having both options but yeah it’s a no brainer for the subscription for most full time photographers. -P
@@FStoppers HAHA! Fair enough. Yeah, this software is heavily tailored towards high volume shooters like us. Point taken but, at the end of the day, there are smaller packages even for the hobbyist. Great video, Patrick!
It's the "they feel so young too, and for them to be dressed like this, I don't know" critique of Pye's images...followed by the "I'm trying to make them all look sexy and hip" for his own images, lol.
Competition fun. But A I sending to the cloud, is that code for training the algo on your images? The Pye look, the Patrick look, the Ansel look. The forums are filled with anxiety ridden photographers that have their mojo taken from them by A I. If A I is convenient, you are the product. Harvested for your mojo, like men on mars for jokes and sea man.
Pye can address this but the fact that you are paying for the service suggests to me you aren’t the product but rather still the customer. The reality is if another Ai algorithm wants to use your images to create images that look exactly like yours, nothing is stopping them from scrubbing your website and instagram. The Impossible Things servers aren’t your worry. -P
@@FStoppers That is how they get you. Pay to be harvested is the ultimate marketing strategy. Gym membership, pay for your physical labour. Now send data to A I and get replaced. Spend the rest of your days at the beach while A I model brenda poses for A I photographer Don, while art director AI Mendez sends his campaign to automated campaign, watched by bots which gathers the inputs into a purchase basket which your AI manager approves. The clothes are sent to the beach and there you are. All taken care of. No worries, no work, no purpose. Just Zen like consumerism and empty poses.
@@FStoppers what are they doing that? You must know more about the conspiracy than I do. I am suggesting a gym membership is the equivalent of paying to work. A fast paced shift harvesting cucumbers in a greenhouse however, now we are talking. As we say in sweden "plocka kulor, plocka kulor. Sträck och ta i. Det är bra tjejer!", while playing Sällskapsresan on the TV and Eric Prydz "Call on me" on the stereo.
can we camera train dude on the left? his eye contact is very intimate and honest, and i respect that……if i was standing in front of him. however, it just looks menacing and diabolical in that first set. please take a break and look at the camera even for a second! jesus christ it’s like watching a horror scene right before the gore😂😂
This is the first time I would have chosen Patrick’s images. Pye’s images were just to generic, totally average. Also, Patrick did a great job with clothing, I was surprised how good they worked. 🙂
For the first time, I have to say Pye was second best. Patrick's images were just better somehow. Although the male model's right hand in #5 was weirdly stiff and looked uncomfortable. BUT! Both better than Lee I guess. 😂😂😂
I can let Pye answer but basically it uses a normal preset (can be yours), applies it, and then uses an Ai based network to tweak it more. So if you have images where say the flash doesn’t fire consistently, or your assistant under exposes his shots, or your session goes from overcast to sunny and back and forth, the Ai element of it will correct all of that while preserving the base preset “look” that you want. It’s way more sophisticated than just “auto exposure” in Lightroom. But yes it is a subscription or per image based system. -Patrick
It's optional, you can use the AI on a per image basis, or unlimited via subscription. The AI will use whatever preset you like, and combine it with basic color grading including exp/wb/base tones/etc.
I feel bad for these models that have to deal with mom and dad fighting the whole time while they are working their tails off. Awkward. Make it a fun and exciting shoot.
Patrick‘s shit talking was super artificial, unprofessional and annoying. Would hate to have him on set. (Even though it’s all fun) Shot 4 is incredible though. Did not expect nor anticipate that!
@@FStoppers I would that if I, as a photography vendor and coach, were to make that comment in front of a client, student, or co-worker, I would be fired by my company. In the professional world, there are standards and practices that require professionalism and respect--and accountability for those who disregard them.
Why is that? If a computer can learn how your edit thousands of photos during a wedding or portrait session, you would rather spend the hours doing it yourself? Now that software can use your own preset and make it look even better is the moment I’ve been waiting for for 15 years. -P
Yah have Ai write a book and you’ll see the mistakes Are we just gonna keep making our passion and trade more of a joke. Ai photography sounds good to you? Please. Both of you are phenomenal at what you do. I’ll take you over Ai everyday. It takes an artists hand to the post process and I want it exactly that way. We already have Ai computational photography it’s in your pocket.
Boy, that F Stopper guy is annoying. He doesn't shut up and makes the most lame comments. I had to turn off the audio. Pye is always great and a true pro with a sense of humor.

Hi do you want graphics designer
Came for the challenge. Stayed for the trash talking. Patrick is cracking me up!
Glad you enjoyed. Patrick definitely brought it... But I dunno, Lee's trash talking might take the cake for me.
This was a good one! Both Pye and Patrick did great.
Glad you enjoyed!
The male model seems nice, the female model is breathtaking, the weather looks so-so and your challenges are always absolutely great to watch!
Best wishes
For me, #4 was the best picture overall. Patricks set was amazing, his selection of Outfits was really good, only her Shorts where a Little Bit off.
Patrick is the clear winner for me.
The shorts look great imo, especially with those legs 😎

lmao! If photography fails, you guys need to do standup ;) 7:44 is gold!
Haha, that hug tho...
NOW we’re talking!! Always love these challenges.
I did like Patrick's pick of clothing. This was fun.
Another classic Fstoppers video, so fun to watch! You might want to consider making it a longer video & challenge: perhaps a morning, afternoon and evening collage? Or multiple models and switch them half way between teams?
tl;dr: we want more :)
I vote for the models for putting up with the two of you! LOL
Honestly, I would have been in the minority in the vote.
What a great treat watching one of my top most favorite photographers, Pye in action and a different side of him. Big fan! Congrats on winning too. :)
Haha, glad you enjoyed!
@@payamjirsaAlways. :)
The girl won all the comps. When it is broken down to resonance of appeal, a female's grace and beauty will always be the predominant power in all scenarios.
More challenge videos please!
Great content I love when you team up with fstoppers! Love the course and software as well
"You might not have a lot of options when it comes to shopping" in Humacao! In San Juan its a total different story my friend! LOL
Yeah San Juan is great. The T Mobile Center and the Mall of San Juan are amazing! -P
You two are brilliant together! Totally bonkers and brilliantly talented! This is a brilliant idea for a regular series 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🫶🫶
Haha, appreciate the support!
this is hilarious, entertaining and INFORMATIONAL/EDUCATIONAL. Love this guys!!
Yup!!! I see that Tamron 35-150mm doing its magic!! Most versatile lens ever!!
Loved this challenge!
They should’ve also installed taking photos of each other’s style choice. It would’ve been interesting to see what they would’ve came up with. Part 2 maybe?
Too sad seeing Patrick lose, he is truly the best photographer of all the Fstoppers crew.
Awesome idea with the challenge, was fun to watch!
This was thoroughly entertaining and informative 😊
I feel you Pye, nose problem here too 😂
Dude, 100%... We middle easterners need curved camera LCDs for these shnozzes of ours 😂
@@payamjirsa They make after market longer eye cups that really help. Just got one for my A7iv
I absolutely love these! Love the Abercrombie look but overall I would go with Pyes more because of the composition.
Thanks guys! I enjoyed the video and the humor 😂
Funny, educational and entertaining! Well done guys!
great job. i liked both sets of images.
Loved it! 😂 I’ll call it a tie, too. Both sets were great.
Great video, I always love the more playful side of youtube like this and still having great tips with the challenge and shit talk.

Good stuff guys!
So friggen’ entertaining guys, thanks for the trash talk and inspiration!! 😂🙏🏽
haha, glad you enjoyed my friend!
Interesting challenge with great results. Patrick‘s choice of the clothes leaves some room for improvement 😮 😂 … also, I might have asked the girl at 3:08 whether she wanted to be part of this shooting.
Lol I literally thought the same thing about that girl.
"Is this even firing?".... "Oh, you want the light?".... bahahaha! Classic exchange 😂😂😂
Crazy video idea! Love it!!
It was a great idea! That was 100% Patrick all the way!
amazing! it was really super entertaining and yet informative
Great Video!!!

Dangit! Another tie... I might have to accidentally forget this comment 😂
“You aren’t going to put that in your portfolio are you? -Patrick
“Ha yeah actually I was thinking about it” - Pye
This was a really fun watch!!
These are so good
Would love to see this new AI done on a set of images from a sporting event indoor and one outdoors for the work flow improvements.
I loved the challenge! I would have said a hard tie! 😂 🎉
Hmmm... I don't know about this comment 😆
Patrick won it.
We do shoots with Walmart clothes all the time on our channel.
I liked both shoots. Different styles for different folks. I'm not sure about the trash talking. I guess it makes for good video content? Well done to both sides.
Does this only work in Lightroom classic? What about Lightroom?
Currently it only works with Lightroom Classic
Legend says Pye sleeps with his flip-flops on.
lol, not too far from the truth.
This was a great meetup! Can’t believe you got Pye to come to the island! I’m an Aftershoot ambassador and that looks interesting. Ditch the “per image” business model and stick to unlimited for a fixed cost. That’s why Imagen can’t keep up with us! Booyeah!

Patrick gets at least 15 points for out trash talking Pye.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed!
Patrick looked like he was trying to shoot a cover for a Romance Novel. Yeah! Unbutton another button. 😅
Haha, right!?
I have the nose problem too and it took me a while to figure out that turning off the touch screen was my friend...😑
It's the "they feel so young too, and for them to be dressed like this, I don't know" critique of Pye's images...followed by the "I'm trying to make them all look sexy and hip" for his own images, lol.
LOL. Yeah, that moment had me go "hmmmmm" as well. 😂
Tip to tip 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Tip to tip right there"

16:37 What's with that outline around the dude's face, with the sky as the backdrop?? And Pye easily won.
Not sure, is that a weird artifact from the lens and sensor? Too much dynamic range there maybe? -P

I like 2
Patrick is one hell of a complainer!
Patrick, bring me to Puerto Rico for vacation few days for a vacation photo challenge, and I'll let you win.
This is the first time I would have chosen Patrick’s images. Pye’s images were just to generic, totally average. Also, Patrick did a great job with clothing, I was surprised how good they worked. 🙂
For the first time, I have to say Pye was second best. Patrick's images were just better somehow. Although the male model's right hand in #5 was weirdly stiff and looked uncomfortable.

Agree to disagree... except for the part about Lee, LOL
The import tax or whatever , really makes everything expensive in PR
Jones Act. Yeah living on an island can be expensive for shipped in goods. -P
That’s it couldn’t remember the name of it. I was just there the 1st weekend of February
Looks like a subscription based preset service. Am I missing something? What part of this is the AI doing?
I can let Pye answer but basically it uses a normal preset (can be yours), applies it, and then uses an Ai based network to tweak it more. So if you have images where say the flash doesn’t fire consistently, or your assistant under exposes his shots, or your session goes from overcast to sunny and back and forth, the Ai element of it will correct all of that while preserving the base preset “look” that you want.

It's optional, you can use the AI on a per image basis, or unlimited via subscription. The AI will use whatever preset you like, and combine it with basic color grading including exp/wb/base tones/etc.
I don't use AI or Presets. I take the shots as I want them. Anything else is pretend.
It’s not adding elements with Ai, it’s simply speeding up the adjustments so you don’t have to waste as much time in Lightroom editing. -P
PSA: The music you chose at the beginning, when mentioning Walmart in Puerto Rico, is of Mexican origin; not in any way representative of Puerto Rico.
the program calling "perspective" "perceptive" looks quite unprofessional, tbh, someone should quash that bug.
I Like Pye a WHOLE LOT more since he called out Patrick for his "Wokeness". ROFLMAO!!! WOW Patrick is just such a poor looser... (giggle)
Came for the Challenge stay for the trash talk. Id say Pye had a better 3 images and outfits but I liked Patrick's 5 and 6 images 4 not so much
Great choice! That's some good taste right there!
Already poisoning the waters I see -P
Patrick's was better by a long shot, who are these people who vote? are they blind?
I feel bad for these models that have to deal with mom and dad fighting the whole time while they are working their tails off. Awkward. Make it a fun and exciting shoot.
lol, they know what they're signing up for.
Patrick‘s shit talking was super artificial, unprofessional and annoying. Would hate to have him on set. (Even though it’s all fun)
Shot 4 is incredible though. Did not expect nor anticipate that!
The models look horrified at 7:53. Laughing about making inappropriate jokes does not make those remarks any more appropriate, or funny.
What if I told you I edited a completely different moment there to make it funny? 😳😂 -P
@@FStoppers I would that if I, as a photography vendor and coach, were to make that comment in front of a client, student, or co-worker, I would be fired by my company.
