The Shot
2007Seasons & Episode
The nine remaining contestants do a shoot with a pack of wild animals: a monkey, a tarantula, and a camel. Piper is forced to deal with her fear of tarantulas. The aspiring photographers then shot a group of unruly preschoolers
In the first shot this week, the eight remaining contestants were strapped into harnesses off of a cliff in Malibu Creek State Park, one hundred feet off the ground. The second shot had the two teams shooting evening wear underwater with help from supermodel Kristy Hinze.
The seven remaining contestants head off to Malibu Beach, where they shoot a women's volleyball game. Using what they learned about capturing motion in a picture, the photographers are given a challenge to get a great 3D shot of two models bouncing on a trampoline using a digital multi-camera system.
The first challenge for the remaining four photographers was to try their hand as a paparazzi at a red-carpet event. For their second challenge, the contestants met with Marie Claire editor Joyce Caruso Corrigan, who took them to an airport runway. There, they shot singer Joss Stone.
In the first-season finale, the three remaining contestants head off to Hawaii to work with three Victoria's Secret models. After shooting, only two photographers remain; they are sent to a mansion, where they shoot a cover for a Victoria's Secret catalogue, and a winner is crowned.
