The tone and chemistry between Lee and Pye is so great. I'm an absolute fan of this type of battle
Man Pye is so good both as a photographer and a teacher. How he explains everything so simple.

These 1 on 1 shoots and the behind the scenes of y'alls tutorial vids are what make this my favorite channel currently. Keep up the good work guys!
I prefer the colours in the video footage. They look warmer and transmit more feeling of Puerto Rico.

I love Pye's attention to detail and communication skills with the model
SLR lounge is schooling with the full body shots
I love how the music comes on whenever they're fumbling with the menus :'D What a fantastic video overall... great energy between the two, gorgeous model as well.
This model is Miss Arecibo, was routing for her to be THE Miss Puerto Rico.
her smile is so captivating
B-roll was on fire! Model looks amazing. Yuanilie brought her A-Game! Location was such a great spot. Thanks for sharing this.
Those 6 first minutes were very comforting 😉. Glad to see I'm not the only one who gets lost in the menu maze once in a while... As a side note , it was nice to see a bit of the city. Best regards from Paris

@@theAppleWizz yes I understand. But for me, it was reminiscent of the old center of Salvador, in Brazil, where I am from. It is the same kind of architecture and colors. Unfortunately the pelorinho in Salvador also turned into a tourist attraction of sorts. Still, it has been a long time for me since I went back there, and as I said, nice to see. Not so much for what it became but for what it was/is (typical architecture)

One of my favourite F-Stoppers videos! Loved the collab!
Pye giving me those Mango Street feels with the low wide angle shots. Lee went safe with the head shots, which are nice, but it doesn't show the environment. Which is the whole idea of being there right?Good work all around!
I’ve been watching this channel for a long time and I think this is by far the best video you have done! It was such a feel good vibe with great energy, I was smiling the whole way through! I wish I had a friend like you Lee, such a great sense of humor!

You both are great. Thoroughly entertaining. Wonderful photos. Great backdrop. And Yuanilie! Wow!!
"I want to mimic the sun, which is kind of a small light source" -Pye lol....
I'm team Pye! His interactions are so educational to me! The imperfections in his first shot capture some of the grunginess of Puerto Rico so much better. Love both sets of submissions tho..
I just love these battle videos. Please keep posting then. Fantastic work! Cheers from Floripa - BR.
This is one of your best videos ever! It had it all. Thank you for this gift!
This was fun and amazing. Hope to see more of you two! 🔥🔥🤙🤙
This is perfect I love watching this kind of stuff. And can we give props to your SMOKING hot mode.
dude this is so much fun !!! well done you both and off course.... gorgeous place and model
This was so much fun to watch. Love the Chem, Love you both. Keep doing what you guys are doing! Thanks for all the videos you guys produce, much appreciated Eddie Merino

Really enjoyed watching this episode. All the nuggets of knowledge was a bonus!
Outstanding challenge and yet very valuable tutorial/training video!! Thanks so much!!
this was so entertaining and fun to watch, I was laughing my ass off with the banter :D
Thank you, you just proved that I should stay away from Sony cameras, its menu and settings are so complicated. ;-)
You guys got some really awesome shots! Love the ones shooting up from the ground in the street
Wonderful show...thank you guyz...more of these please...
This has to be hands down the funniest and down to earth photo shoot I have seen this year! Theres no faking it! I'm so glad we all shared a laugh or two! Both of you rock! Keep up with more videos like this from now on! So good! Beautiful results too!
Kudos to you both!! The best part of this video and I would argue this video is probably your best because it captured the woes of a photographer struggling with his menus and flash settings.. Made it that much more human. Otherwise you look at a lot of these photo - taking videos and none of the background work or the in-between BTS struggles is shown, and it makes one feel like they are the only one struggling and confidence takes a hit.Being an amateur photography hobbyist, this video speaks to me on a personal level. You had a stunning model at hand, and beautiful backdrops, and you would think that's enough, but no.. even with all these and you both being professional, it still came down to how you had to do composites and some PS work to enhance the images.. The care you took to take your pictures to the next level and bring out your vision of the picture, was a learning experience and is what sets a truly awesome artist apart.
This was the most entertaining "battle" video so far. Well done.
Interplay provided significantly additional learning. Thanks. Yuanilie, your model, is absolutely gorgeous. Talk about photogenic!
Enjoyed watching this video! Awesome shots guys!

Guys, I really enjoyed watching your shenanigans. But seriously, I learned a lot by your indirections and struggles to get the winning shot.Your sincere appreciation and acceptance of your differences is exemplary. You guys show off what is great about collaborating while at the same time trying to outdo each other without losing the spirit of camaraderie for the sake of cheap ego affirmations even though you try to mask the whole thing as if it were just another cheap joust between pros. Your humor works as a good backdrop to the serious subject you present in your episodes.Thank you. I grew up in San Juan and immensely enjoyed seeing the old town thru the lens of your wonderful video crew. When I was a teenager one of my favorite things to do after school or on weekends was to take my Kodak-Instamatic for strolls through the old town and its fortresses capturing what to me seemed to be a magical place that made me feel that I was there in some special way, with a window to generations of people who walked those same streets with the cares of the times they lived in. The last 2 or 3 decades has seen the city pop up with color and the restoration of many charming Spanish architectural treasures. I wish Lee and Kelly would do a shoot of the Old San Juan sometime.
I was digging Pye's images during the video and thought Lee would win by a hair with the composite image. I was wrong. I think Lee was right about Pye's close up being the hero shot. Lee's smiling close up, fully edited, may have won it for him.

Was tough, I was picking which image I thought would stand out most, but like I explained, it actually wasn't my favorite image from the shoot. It would be fun to show all the finals, we both had some really great stuff that never made it in.
Great video. The model did a fantastic job and had a wonderful vibe over her throughout the video. I'm not surprised the photos with her turned out great. I love the creativity in the pictures.
I absolutely enjoyed this entire video! two top notch photographers putting their egos to the side and working together, while competing with one another. I loved both photos, and I hope you continue to this kind of challenges.
I think this video is one of the most entertaining and funny videos. Good job guys!!
I have learned so MUCH form both your channels I couldn't decide other than I have a couple of Fstopper courses!
This was probably my favorite video to date. I'm digging the chemistry between Lee & Pye as well. Great show guys!
Really enjoyed the video but wasn't a fan of the results. In my opinion and personal taste, the pictures didn't capture the essence of the location, and lacked vibrancy.
Great video guys lots of fun
Love this video. Puerto Rico is beautiful, can't wait to go again. Would be interesting to do this again but with a cheaper lighting setup. These lights are pretty dope tho.
I liked Pye's vision and workflow more. i feel he is more original and less technical/calculated in this challenge.
This is now one of the favourite Fstoppers vids... great chemistry between Lee and Pye, beautiful locations and a breathtaking model. Would love to see more challenges like this!
This was fun. Truly one of the best episodes. I am relieved that I am not the only one who gets lost sometimes with the camera menus. Great episode.
🤣🤣 this is so good...awesome shots guys! 👍
Omg. This is awesome!. I wanna know those gh5 settings tho! Great work!!!
:-D You guys are hilariously awesome. Trying to figure out how to get around with the camera settings reminded me trying to help a guest with setting their Nikon camera. All in all, this video was great, informative as you guys always do it. I had and always learning new things from ya'll.
F-Stoppers with the Smoke challenge! Great job fellas! P.S. I grew up in that time to Lee. I know how you feel.
Bwahahaha... You guys should start a comedy-buddy movie... Seriously... LOVE THIS!!! hahaha... Model Yuanilie is GORGEOUS... Love her hair...
This episode toooooo good 🤣🤣 great job fellas
This was great! Very fun video.
Love watching the pros learning curve!
This is definitely one of my favorite episodes!
you got me out here on my birthday!! LOL LOVE IT
You guys are great. Great sportsmanship!!!
I'm in love with the BGM...... wow it's awesome!!
These videos are great. Thanks...and she is incredible.
I could watch this type of content forever!
I really enjoyed this....did I say i enjoyed this? All about the photography and not about gear. So refreshing.
AWESOME!!! I LOVE THIS FORMAT!! YOU BOTH ARE GREAT PHOTOGS!!! LOLOLOL! BRAVO! MORE!
U both r my favorite. I follow both of your video in regular basis.
this makes me smile! it's friendship (and rivalry :P), profession and a great place that inspires to find the joy of life in one video. The model is very dynamic and upbeat!
goddamn the model was beautiful😍😍and her hair is amazing
haha! that was a great challenge and really fun to watch. Bravo!!!!
Great stuff. I knew Pye had the environmental shot. Love these competitive collabs. Next?
Great episode, gorgeous model. Keep it up guys!
Really fun video guys. Too close for me to call. Bird vs dancing image... so good! Thanks!
Great competition and fun to watch. The streets of San Juan look like a dream to shoot in!
Very entertaining and educational video... love it
This is one of favorite Fstoppers videos!
I enjoyed this one so much. Love it when competition can be fun and the loser (which let's face it, really isn't a loser because they are both great) can accept it with such laughter and still maintain self-confidence. If staying within the rules though, which said fashion/editorial'ish...I too would have to go SLR Lounge. If it was journalistic, then Fstoppers with the bird photo for sure.
It was fun to watch. Pie had more time to think, he was more prepared. I think wedding photographer have always upper hand. But but i love Fstopper for the amazing information for all of us. Well done guys. respect for both Fstopper and SLR Lounge.
