Episode 1. Top Photographer with Nigel Barker
In this show there are different contestants who are supposed to complete the task and do the best they possibly can even it might not be the work there used to doing they have to do there best. They have 30 minutes to capture a photo of there main focus and do the best to get the essence of the person. They each have to figure out a pose angles lighting and the way that they’ll shoot the picture in order to come out with the perfect picture to also focus on the personality of the main focus. As the challenges go they will eliminate one person and see which is the best picture and as they keep going the challenges will get even more difficult. David is a famous photographer for sports and music which means he takes photos of famous athletes or musicians and he is able to capture the right moment to take a beautiful photo. The main challenge for the contestants this episode was to capture the essence and to get to the core of the subject and have all these things in a photo. I feel like this show could be useful for beginners to see how professionals work and how sometimes you have a certain amount of time to take the perfect photo. This would also be useful to see how the judges judge the pictures and see what you should have in your photo and what you shouldn’t so others could learn and see how to capture a perfect photo. I feel as if being a photographer takes a lot of dedication because how you have to see every little thing for the photo for example the lighting the background the angles and much more.
Episode 1. Top Photographer with Nigel Barker
In the second episode they will be shooting for a famous designer and shooting for her campaign. They have to capture the idea of the clothes and capture a beautiful picture for the campaign but at the same time they have to take some risks. They are shooting these photos with the canon ds and they were each able to choose there model which inspired them the most from how they look and how there dress is. There main focus has to be the dress they have to bring out the dress as much as they can. They have to work with the dress, the model, and see how there hair and makeup will be which the last part is something they have to choose in order to take the perfect photo for the campaign. Then they had 30 minutes to take photos in a room and they were able to get creative and takes photos everywhere in the room. But the only struggle was that they had to see where the angles, the lighting, retouching the photo, editing, fixing lighting, and much more in a short period of time. I feel as if this task was more difficult considering that some of the contestants haven’t done this style of photography and how they had to bring out the dress with many things in the background. But overall its a better challenge so they could improve there photography and see what they have to do for these specific tasks. For example in order to bring out the dress they need to move things from the background so it wont take away the focus from the dress and they need to bring it out with lighting and angles as much as possible.
