Combining the passion for photography with the latest Leica triple camera setup of Huawei P20 Pro, Huawei Consumer Business Group in association with Dabboo Ratnani, initiated a month long photography challenge - #P20ProBattleLeague, giving 20 selected photographers an opportunity to explore new, advance offerings of Huawei P20 Pro and showcase their talent.
Keeping #P20ProBattleLeague dynamic and exciting, the brand in association with photography ace Dabboo Ratnani shared four core themes - Macro-B&W, Windows, Metal and Streets. Rolled out in two phases, the first phase saw Ratnani choosing a top photographer for every theme from these 20 challengers, who used the brand new Huawei P20 Pro as their weapon in the battle. In the second phase, the winners of four themes competed against each other in the final,ultimate battle, wherein they were asked to share a photograph along with their story to describe their journey of ‘becoming a Pro’ in the passion they pursue
Sharing his views on the initiative, Dabboo Ratnani, said, “I was amazed by the creative expressions that I witnessed as part of the contest. The whole concept of empowering imagination with technology was extremely interesting to begin with. The Huawei P20 Pro is the best Android device for photography aficionados, thanks to its variable 0.95 aperture, monochrome mode and zoom stabilization. The fact that no software tweaking of the final image is required is especially outstanding.”
Momentum around the challenge was builtwith constant social media buzz through exciting and engaging content with #CaptureMooore, a parallel contest campaign open for all to participate, wherein, Huawei released a new theme every four days as an extension of #P20ProBattleLeague, keeping fans and followers on their toes.
