Contest to Award Photographers for Best Pictures Taken with

Ray Flash Ring Light Adapter

WATSONVILLE, CA/MIAMI, FL, January 16, 2009—ExpoImaging Inc., developer

of innovative camera accessories, including the ExpoDisc Digital White

Balance Filter and the ExpoAperture2 Depth-of-Field Guide, and One Model

Place, the world’s largest online portfolio and talent community, today

announced a contest in which the best images shot with ExpoImaging’s Ray

Flash ring light adapter will be published in national photo trade

magazines. In addition to this valuable publishing opportunity, the winning

photographers will receive high-end photo gear, as well as a Platinum+

membership to One Model Place.

Photographers interested in entering the contest must be members of One

Model Place and should log onto www.onemodelplace.com/expoimaging to

complete the simple entry form. Submitters must include both the contest

photo taken with a Ray Flash, plus a photo of themselves shooting while

using the product. Photos may be submitted for consideration from January

16 through March 31, 2009. All entries will be judged by a team of

professional photographers and winners will be announced on April 15 at

www.onemodelplace.com.

“This is a great opportunity to showcase the results that Ray Flash can

offer to creative photographers,” said Erik Sowder, president of

ExpoImaging, “Having just recently reduced the price of Ray Flash to make

it more accessible to hobbyists and professionals alike, we expect to

receive a lot of high-quality contest entries.”

The Ray Flash is a portable, lightweight adapter for shoe-mount flash units

that creates a distinctive lighting effect, producing a virtually shadowless

look on the front of the subject, while leaving a soft, even shadow around

the edges. The versatile adapter is ideally suited for fashion, wedding,

portrait, journalist and macro photography, as either a main or fill light.

The winning photo will be published in a full page ad in the June issue of

Rangefinder, and its photographer will receive a complete set of Honl Photo

Speed System light modifiers, an ExpoDisc, a Lensbaby Composer from

Lensbaby, an 8GB Pro Card from Lexar, and instructional videos from Kelby

Training and Software Cinema.

The second place image will be included in a half page ad in the June issue

of Shutterbug, along with a starter set of Honl Photo Speed System light

modifiers, an ExpoDisc, a Lensbaby Muse, a 4GB Pro Card from Lexar, and the

Kelby Training and Software Cinema instructional videos.

First and second place winners will also receive a Platinum+ membership to

One Model Place which allows photographers access to all of the

community’s premier features and functions.

“The Ray Flash Photo Contest is an excellent way to present and promote

the inspired work that the highly-talented One Model Place community

produces,” said Sean Murdock, professional photographer and director of

creative marketing at One Model Place. “The Ray Flash Photo Contest is

one of many valuable opportunities a photographer can uncover in visiting

One Model Place.”
