Tonight was the fifth episode of the second season of The Perfect Picture. With only four contestants left, the final is slowly getting closer.

Landscape photo

The first assignment was taking a landscape photo. For this, the celebrities went to the Veluwe, where they were allowed to drive around in a vintage Volkswagen camper van.

Photo by Giel, f/11, 1/100s, ISO 640
Giel won the assignment. This assignment also made it very clear that the light is much more important than the location.

Giel's photo was actually of a rather boring bit of woodland, but thanks to the light and his good choice to shoot against the light, he made an excellent photo. Estelle had a rather beautiful location, but boring light. As a result, her photo was not very exciting.

Bas Meelker was a guest judge for this shoot and also gave the contestants some practical tips before they started shooting.

Photographing a band

For the second assignment, the celebrities had to photograph a band. Quite a difficult assignment, a group portrait that also has to bring out the character of the band.

For this assignment, the photographers worked with the Canon EOS M5 mirrorless camera and the 15-45mm kit lens.

Estelle was the winner of this assignment. I could really relate to the judges' comments on the photos.

I also laughed out loud regularly at Estelle's comments in this episode. It was probably edited to make the most of it too, but she really stood out today.

The home assignment

This week's home assignment is taking an inspiring nature photo. You can still submit your photo until next Sunday at 23:59.

Next week, the three remaining contestants will work on wedding photography during the semi-final and photograph military personnel during exercises.

Exhibition

It was also announced today that there will once again be an exhibition at Museum Hilversum of the photos taken during The Perfect Picture.

The exhibition opens on Tuesday evening, directly after the final broadcast on 12 December 2017 at 22:00. The exhibition can then be viewed at the museum until and including 1 January 2018.

Alongside the winning images, 'unseen' material will also be shown during the exhibition, and all eight episodes will be available to watch.
