Participants will be broken up into teams and each team will receive a mystery box of props and accessories to use with a model to create editorial and out-of-the-box (literally) photos using mystery props and a white background. Teams will then pick their best photos for a quick edit to be judged and one team and one individual will be chosen as winner of the Creative Challenge!
