So I've been sort of watching a reality tv show called The Shot on VH1, which was about 10 aspiring photographers who want to break into fashion photography. I missed about half the episodes, so it wasn't the contestants conflicts that were getting to me, but I was actually interested to see what images a group of different people could do with essentially the same ingredients.
And the finale really hit the jack pot for me. They actually had a prize worth winning (and how unbelievable is that) which was to shoot a Victoria's Secret catalogue in Hawaii. So for once they had world famous models, an amazing location, and you could get a sense if skill made a difference, or if anyone could take an amazing picture in that circumstance. And of course, the website of the show - doesn't have the final photographs!! It has images of the contestants but not the photos they took! No wonder the show didn't work, even their own producers has no respect for it!
There is a video, where the photographs appear, but they are blurry, not because they were blurry irl but because the video does such a crap job of filming them. Really, the vh1 website folk ought to be the ones shot!
However I really liked that idea, seeing what they could do with world class models, and the results were obvious, some of the images were really much much better than others. Take a look at the video, crap as it is, and if gives you some idea...
