Tonight was the third episode of the second season of Het Perfecte Plaatje on RTL4. In this episode, the celebrities had to make a documentary photograph of young people with intellectual disabilities and create a greeting card featuring dogs as models in the studio.

Documentary photograph

Not exactly the easiest assignments, then. The first assignment in particular proved a challenge for the photographers. They visited Parc Speldeholt in Beekbergen, where young people with disabilities live, learn and work.

The participants had to work with a Canon EOS M5 mirrorless camera. The camera was fitted with a not particularly fast kit lens, which of course does not help when you want to take good photos. Composition then becomes very important to prevent it from becoming a snapshot.

I have to say that most of the photos disappointed me. In my view, only Roel van Velzen managed to take a good photo. Jury member and documentary photographer Cynthia Boll gave the tips for this assignment.

I noticed that Cynthia and William also did a Facebook Live session on their Facebook pages after the broadcast, where you could ask them questions. Nice!

Greeting card

The second assignment was to make a greeting card. The participants all had to choose a theme, such as a birthday, wedding, passing your driving test and so on, and get to work on it in a studio setting.

The extra difficulty was the models: one or more dogs. It is already quite a challenge to come up with a good idea, build the set and get the lighting right within half an hour. I thought it was quite an achievement that the celebrities then also had to work patiently with dogs.

The chaos was not too bad, by the way, so the models were not as difficult as they could have been. Of course, it was also useful that appropriate props were already available. I thought most of the texts accompanying the photos were quite creatively written, too.

Newborn and animal photographer Norma Jesse was the guest judge and expert for the shoot. She not only gave the contestants tips, but you could also see that she was actively helping during the shoots.

This week, another participant had to go home.
Vivian had to leave the group this time.

The home assignment

This week's home assignment is to take a cheerful animal photo. Your photo could win you a gift voucher worth 449 euros.

You can find a few practical tips in the How it's Done video on Canon's website. And also check out our 10 tips for photographing dogs.

Next week

At the end of the episode, there was another teaser for next week. It looks like the contestants will photograph motorsport and also have to make some sort of bad selfie.

No explanation was given, but it seemed that they had to take the photo they would least like to see of themselves in the magazines.
