Apparently VH1 has a new reality show called "Click" for aspiring fashion photographers.  Kind of like Project Runway except for photographers.

Any one know where and if they are casting for this show?  Sounds interesting.

I was just talking to a friend yesterday about how they should have a photography competition since they have everything else.
I'm excited.

I read about it on Craigslist.  They were asking people to email a photo of themself and two that they had taken.  I did that, and a few days later got a reply asking to send in an audition tape.  Now I'm waiting to hear back from that. From what I've been told it's past the time to submit yourself, however I don't know how the casting calls work.

Yep.
Confrontations with egos.
Drama
And bad editing made deliberately to make people look bad so they can up their ratings.

No thanks...however I'll watch it.

There is another one floating around (but I don't get it here in NY) Best of the Best...same concept but it's more glamour and swimsuit thing.

I believe they're finished taking applicants for the show.  I do know they held auditions for those who applied out in LA a week or so ago.  There seem to be a few MM'ers who've applied.  Should be interesting.

There is a casting on MM posted within the last few days.

Might take some doing finding it though.

Are we sure this is real?  A search shows that thisis the only site (the url from the OP) that discusses it.  Well that one and a blog that qoutes the other site.  There is nothing else to be found discussing this.

I don't think it's all that bad if you're a decent person on the show...but something tells me they are casting for A-type, aggressive, and confrontational types.  The funny thing is, the photo assistants on the show will probably know more than the wannabe photographers.

A friend of mine (one of my former students actually) just went on the audition for it in Los Angeles.  He said it was like a 2 second interview and definitely based more on the personality and looks than photo skills.  Obviously.  lol

If you're interested you can contact him yourself, his name is Jeff and he's super friendly and sweet, here: www.myspace.com/j3photo and ask him about it.

I was thinking about that.  Take me for example.  I might have a great deal of knowledge about how to take a picture (zone, exposure, settings...etc), but have never in my life worked on a major shoot set with multiple models, MAU, hairstylists, stylists, set crews, photo-assistants, shoot directors....etc. 

This seems almost like a "Win a walk on role" event except you aren't the walk on role, you are the director.

I see a lot of frustated crew members on this one.  If I were on this show, you would hear a record number of "I'm sorry"s.

It might be best if they choose commercial assistants who are looking to finally make the break to lead photographer

I'm sure they'll take a mix of fresh Brookies, a couple of assistants and older folks with families.

PEOPLE----This is TV!!

It's not about nothing, at this point other than attracting advertisers!

You think it's about YOUR fame,
You think it's about Art,
You think it's about Quality,

Think Again!

It's about trying to ENTERTAIN the masses while the world goes to hell.

I'd sign up and COMPETE if I could just for the shitty hell of it!

WTF--at the end of the day I would have the rest of my life to do MY thing

I got the notice about the casting from Brooks as well.  I was insulted that the age limit was set at 40!!!!!!!!

What's up with that?  You can't be a hot photog after 40?

Right now there is a posting on the LA Craigslist saying that they are still casting for a hot female photog age 21-30.  Glad to see they aren't casting stereotypes........

LOL...yea...if there was an age limit on photographers turning pro, then great photographers like Howard Schatz would not have made the cut.
