The gear selfie winners
4 weeks of creativity & fun!
Throughout July 2016, Elinchrom has held an online contest to provide an opportunity for photographers around the world to show their style of photography and enrich our image-making culture.
Based on the concept of a “Gear Selfie”, photographers had to submit a creative photo where both the photographer and some EL equipment was shown.
After receiving many stunning submissions over the 4-weeks contest period, Elinchrom is very proud to present the 33 best #GearSelfies bellow!
All of them will be exposed at photokina in September.
Congratulations everyone for your amazing work!
