Last night, there was another new episode of Het Perfecte Plaatje on RTL4. The seven remaining contestants set to work on creating a tempting food portrait and an iconic portrait.

Tempting food portrait

The first assignment was to take a tempting food photo. They had to photograph a model in combination with food. The idea, of course, was to create a tempting photo.

Food photographer Remko Kraaijeveld joined the contestants as a guest judge.

The celebrities used the full-frame Canon EOS R6 for the shoot and could use either a 24-70mm f/2.8L or a 100mm f/2.8 macro. Both lenses are excellent for taking beautiful portrait photos, especially combined with the all-round Canon R6.

Geraldine took the winning photo. Personally, I think I would have preferred to see this photo in landscape orientation. Either way, it is certainly a successful photo.

I also thought Linda's photo was very successful. It was nice to see her trying different things to avoid taking a 'wrong photo'. And well done to Trijntje for managing to get a hotdog looking neat in the photo as food.

Iconic portrait

The second assignment was to create an iconic portrait. William Rutten came up with the assignment based on the work of photographer Alison Jackson. She photographs lookalikes of famous people.

Alison has carried this concept through beautifully in her work, and there is also an interesting TED talk about it:

For the assignment, the celebrities had to photograph their partner, family member or friend as if they were a famous person. The styling and make-up had already been done, so they became recognisable lookalikes.

Once again, they worked with the R6. This time combined with the RF 24-105mm f/4 or the 16-35mm f/2.8. The 24-105mm is, of course, suitable for almost anything, but it is even better to take a proper wide-angle shot with the 16-35mm. Tina was the only one to use this 16-35mm for her Elton John photo.

Linda won the assignment with her successful photo of Marilyn Monroe. I also thought Maik had created a beautiful photo with his Elvis.
