VH1 "The Shot"

[MikeC]

Anyone else heard about this? I just saw a commercial for this new reality show on VH1 so I went to their website to check it out.



"10 amateur photographers the chance to live out their wildest fantasies in pursuit of their ultimate dream: to become the next great fashion photographer.

Our cast will live and work together in a downtown L.A. loft while being guided by world-renowned fashion photographer Russell James. These aspiring photographers will embark on a series of photo shoots meant to challenge their creativity and expose their individual weaknesses. For the first time in their lives, the cast will work with supermodels and high-end professionals, while traveling to exotic locations -- all to capture that one perfect shot.

Whether it's shooting on the deck of a schooner in the midst of a storm,
or trying to get a supermodel to cuddle up to a Siberian tiger, our cast will face daunting tasks and obstacles that will test their talent, desire and drive to be the next great fashion photographer.

Each episode will contain a "teach challenge", where Russell presents the cast with a new technical or creative lesson, and a photo shoot, in which the cast will be asked to utilize what they've learned in a legitimate, fashion-oriented photo campaign. Each week Russell and his professional panel will review the cast's photos, eliminating the weakest shooter.

After a month long journey the best photographer will emerge and be crowned the show's winner, thus launching his or her professional career.

10 aspiring photographers...30 grueling days...1 shot at a glamorous life
in the world of high end fashion photography."

Premieres next Sunday.

wow, seems pretty cool. It sounds like all their "teaching" shows are taking on this format. Should be an interesting show

Suzy Roberts who is a member here was #11 of about 30,000 when they were keeping 10 for the show, so yes there are a few threads on here about the show. I know Suzy (suzyq111) was flown out to LA a couple times for the interviews and knows more about it.

I would seriously give my left... whatever it took... to be on this show. Talk about living the life... even if only for a week, it would be great.

Tagging this thread so I'll remember LOL

Sounds like a fun show.

I'd give one too to get on a show like that.
I'll definitely be setting up my Tivo for this show!

Thanks for the heads up. ;)

I think part of the reason is that she was too talented to get on the show. It's hard to create drama without incompetence...

That is what the big wigs told her, she had an unfair advantage over the others since she knew what an f/stop and shutter speed was and how to properly use them. Go figure, they knew what her website was, they knew what her blog address was, they looked at her porfolio and still flew her out, paid her way, paid for her medical check and then said she was too talanted.



Never the less I think she was upset as well but in the long run I think it is the best, she really has too much class and used too much of her noggin to be on a reality show. She simply is not trash enough.

thank you for the nice words Abel, Jordan and Mike.

Yes, I went through the entier process and wasn't selected. I was really disappointed, still am, but I figure better things are to come of it. It will be interesting to see who they chose tho, out of the people I saw.

Thank you again for the nice words Mike, they mean alot to me.

Guess that means pretty much none of us would've had a chance.
