Vh1 will premiere the new reality competition series The
Shot based on fashion photography.The new series which
will hit the screens on 4 November at 10 pm will see 10 amateur
photographers get the chance to live out their wildest fantasies
in pursuit of their ultimate dream to become the next great
fashion photographer.
The

The
Shot is an eight episode series that will give 10 aspiring
photographers 30 days to compete for a chance to kick-start
their career as a professional fashion

while being guided by world-renowned fashion photographer
Russell James. James, known for his work in Vogue, Elle,
Marie Claire, W, Photo, Sports Illustrated and Victoria's
Secret will guide these aspiring photographers through
a series of photo shoots meant to challenge their
creativity and expose their individual weaknesses.
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 which includes Marie
Claire senior fashion editor Zanna Roberts and Italo Gregorio
a lead hairstylist from Victoria's Secret Beauty, will review
the cast's photos, eliminating the weakest shooter.
After a month long journey the best photographer will emerge
victorious with $100,000 courtesy of the skin experts at Vaseline,

in the Victoria's Secret catalogue.
