Tonight was the quarter-final of The Perfect Picture on RTL4. In this episode, the four remaining Dutch celebrities competed for a place in the semi-final and a trip to Iceland.

Lifestyle campaign image

The first assignment was to create an advert photo. All four contestants had to make a lifestyle photo with the electric Kia Niro at its centre. Each contestant randomly drew the lifestyle they had to capture in the photo.

Photographer Andrew Walkinshaw was the guest judge for this assignment and gave the contestants tips on creating this type of advert photo.

The celebrities used the Canon EOS 90D and the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II for their shoot. A combination that allows you to capture pretty much anything you could want in this situation.

Winning photo by Geraldine Kemper
f/4.5, 1/250s, 125 ISO
Geraldine won this shoot. Not very convincingly, as the judges were not really enthusiastic about any of the photos. What is more, the difference between the scores was only two tenths of a point. Geraldine scored highest with a 6.6, but fourth and last place was achieved with a 6.

Freedom series

The second assignment was to create a series about freedom. Three photos had to be made, and the photographer also had to appear in at least one of them.

A fairly broad assignment, which allowed the celebrities to give it their own interpretation. They were given extra time, a week, to work out the concept, as well as 5 hours to take the photos.

For this assignment, judge Cynthia Boll was the expert who also gave the contestants tips. They used the Canon EOS R6 with an RF 24-105mm f/4L IS lens. They could also choose a 70-200mm or 50mm, but everything was shot with the 24-105mm.

Winning triptych by Tina de Bruin
Tina was the deserved winner of this shoot, in my view, with her powerful series.

Something that personally annoyed me about some of the series was the seemingly random use of both portrait and landscape photos. In my view, you should think this through, so that it also becomes a coherent whole.
