In ‘The Perfect Picture’ it is time for the nude shoot. The candidates are getting closer to the final and are therefore becoming more loose-lipped. And then jury member William Rutten (54) also provides a surprise at the end of the episode.
“Everything Comes to an End”
The preceding shoot, on a Defense training ground, is won by Fenna Ramos and she can therefore make a first choice between different prints. These prints are projected onto the body of the model that the candidates have to photograph. Fenna chooses a black and white striped print, much to Pauline’s dismay. “No, no, no!” stamps stripe lover Pauline.
Once all models have been classified, guest jury member and photographer Sahir Yerunkar gives the candidates an important tip. “If you want color fastness, go for a slow shutter speed. If you want to disrupt the colors to make something creative, go for a nice shutter speed that you have to discover for yourself.”
Working with a naked model is nothing new for Claes Iversen. “To me it’s not that unusual for someone to have to take off their clothes, like clients and models,” he says. “At a certain point you no longer see a naked person, that’s just part of the process. That’s necessary.”
Fenna’s model recently gave birth and is experiencing some discomfort with certain poses. “I’ll pay attention to it in post-processing,” she says reassuringly. “And if there’s something you’re not comfortable with, we just don’t do it.” The amateur photographer likes the shoot: “When the program is over, I’m going to do this again myself.”
“I was once in Playboy myself, on the front page!” is what Pauline says, who can empathize with her model. “I noticed that on day two I was suddenly playing tennis naked with the photographer,” she says about the shoot in 2009. “I no longer noticed that I was naked.” Then she reveals: “I’m a nude runner, at home too. I’m happy to brush my children’s hair while they look at two ‘cream puffs’.”
Everyone scores high marks in the scoring. Antoinette Hertsenberg is the lowest scoring candidate of the week with an average of 7.5 and is preparing to leave the competition. Then the jury interrupts. “You were the weekly winner, you took fantastic photos and everything comes to an end,” says jury member William Rutten, “but not your participation!” Antoinette can stay and The Perfect Picture continues with the same candidates.
The Perfect Picture can be seen every Wednesday at 8:30 PM on RTL 4 and can be watched again at Videoland.
Lights, Camera, No Action: Shocking Secrets & Cheeky Revelations
Oh, grab the popcorn and park your best squinty stare, because The Perfect Picture just turned the art of photography into a cheeky mix of nudity, competitive banter, and unexpected emotional arcs! Yes, we’re diving into the latest episode where it seems the only thing less visible than the models’ modesty was the judges’ shame.
The Naked Truth About Photography
We kicked things off with Fenna Ramos winning the previous shoot, which, let me tell you, was no walk in the park—or at least, no walk without clothes—suggesting perhaps a new definition of ‘taking it all off.’ Fenna opts for a black and white striped print, causing fellow contestant Pauline to throw a delightful hissy fit. Imagine it: a grown adult stamping her feet over a trendy zebra ensemble. Is this a photography competition or an episode of Real Housewives? Because I’d pay good money to see that dramatic reveal! Oh, the tension!
“Everything Comes to an End”
As if the theatrics weren’t enough, we see a guest jury member and photographer, Sahir Yerunkar, jump in with photography tips. He struts in with wisdom that sounds suspiciously like my old college roommate, slightly stoned yet deep in existential thought: “Slow shutter speed for stability, fast shutter to disrupt… or was it the other way around?” Whatever your tuning fork, it might just beat the competitive heart of our contestants, who seem ready to go nude or go home.
Nothing New Under the Sun
Enter Claes Iversen, who seems quite at home in this risqué scenario. He claims, “At a certain point you no longer see a naked person,” which definitely explains his previous career attempts to practice as a surgeon! But in all honesty, who needs clothes when the art of photography is going intergalactic anyway? What’s next, a competition held on the moon? Good luck trying to maintain those creative vibes with zero gravity!
Model Mishaps & Cheeky Backgrounds
And speaking of elegant angles and artistic nudity, let’s talk about Fenna’s model! She’s fresh off maternity leave, and although she’s embracing her body post-baby, it appears some poses are a bit off-limits. “I’ll pay attention in post-processing,” she quips, as if Photoshop is as forgiving as a good friend coaxing you through adulting. One wonders if you should ‘post-process’ bad dating as well; the options are endless!
Pauline, the self-proclaimed “nude runner,” adds yet another juicy layer to this rather surreal cake. I can just imagine her giving lectures on holistic parenting while rocking the laundry basket like it’s haute couture. “Happy to brush my children’s hair while they look at two ‘cream puffs'” — imagine the therapy sessions those kids are going to need in ten years!
Scores, Surprises, and Sassy Comebacks
Finally, in a turn that almost had me reaching for my dram of whisky, it’s revealed that Antoinette Hertsenberg, with a score of 7.5, is at risk of elimination—which feels as tense as a first date where you’ve both forgotten the safe word. But wait, not so fast! Judge William Rutten declares the relatable line akin to a TV drama twist: “Everything comes to an end… but not your participation!” Wow! Talk about a plot twist that would make soap operas blush.
While Antoinette can breathe a sigh of relief, it seems the thrill of competition will continue for our butt-naked artic-hunters, who, despite losing their clothes, seem to have stripped down to pure melodrama. Forget about the photo finishing; it’s the emotional scores that’ll win the attention! The Perfect Picture is clearly mastering the art of capturing moments—both with a camera and without a stitch.
Catch Up on the Shenanigans
If you’re intrigued—and you should be—be sure to catch The Perfect Picture, every Wednesday at 8:30 PM on RTL 4 or take a cheeky peek at Videoland. Because who wouldn’t want a front-row seat to a showdown involving beautiful chaos, drama queen models, and a healthy sprinkle of nudity? Remember, folks, sometimes the best snapshots are the ones where everyone involved is simply ‘exposed!’

In the latest episode of ‘The Perfect Picture,’ the contestants dive into a daring nude shoot, pushing their creative boundaries as they inch closer to the finale. As tensions rise and the stakes increase, the candidates become more candid, revealing their thoughts and emotions in front of the camera. To cap off this exhilarating episode, jury member William Rutten (54) delivers an unexpected twist that leaves everyone intrigued.
“Everything Comes to an End”
The previous shoot, set against the backdrop of a Defense training ground, saw Fenna Ramos emerging as the winner, granting her the privilege to make the first selection from an array of striking prints. The prints, projected onto the model’s body, added an artistic flair to the photography challenge. Fenna opts for a bold black and white striped design, causing a stir among her fellow contestants, particularly Pauline, who exclaims in frustration, “No, no, no!” showcasing her love for stripes.
After the models are expertly arranged, guest jury member and renowned photographer Sahir Yerunkar shares essential advice with the aspiring photographers. “If you want color fastness, go for a slow shutter speed. If you want to disrupt the colors to make something creative, go for a nice shutter speed that you have to discover for yourself,” he encourages, emphasizing the importance of experimentation in achieving artistic visions.
Claes Iversen, who is familiar with the nuances of working with nude models, shares his perspective on the experience. “To me it’s not that unusual for someone to have to take off their clothes, like clients and models,” he expresses confidently. “At a certain point, you no longer see a naked person; that’s just part of the process. That’s necessary for the art.” His words resonate with the aspiring photographers as they navigate the challenges of their assignment.
Fenna’s chosen model, who recently gave birth, voices her concerns about comfort during some poses. Reassuring her, Fenna says, “I’ll pay attention to it in post-processing. And if there’s something you’re not comfortable with, we just don’t do it.” This empathetic approach highlights Fenna’s sensitivity as a photographer, and she reveals her excitement for the future: “When the program is over, I’m going to do this again myself.”
Pauline shares her unique past, exclaiming, “I was once in Playboy myself, on the front page!” showing a connection to her model’s experience. Reflecting on her own photoshoot in 2009, she recounts, “I noticed that on day two I was suddenly playing tennis naked with the photographer,” illustrating her own ability to adapt to the situation. With a laugh, she adds, “I’m a nude runner, at home too. I’m happy to brush my children’s hair while they look at two ‘cream puffs’.” Her candid anecdotes provide a glimpse into her comfort with nudity.
As the contestants submit their work, scores are revealed, and the competition gets intense. Antoinette Hertsenberg, however, finds herself as the lowest-scoring candidate of the week with an average of 7.5, setting her up for potential elimination. Just when the tension peaks, the jury unexpectedly intervenes. “You were the weekly winner, you took fantastic photos and everything comes to an end,” announces jury member William Rutten, before adding a twist, “but not your participation!” Relieved, Antoinette can stay in the competition, allowing The Perfect Picture to continue with the same cast of talented photographers.
The Perfect Picture can be seen every Wednesday at 8:30 PM on RTL 4 and can be watched again at Videoland.
What themes of vulnerability and creativity are explored in the latest episode of *The Perfect Picture*?
In this rollercoaster of creativity and vulnerability, the contestants of The Perfect Picture are pushed not just to capture images, but to explore the very essence of human form and expression. As the episode unfolds, the contestants dive headfirst into artistic nudity, challenging not only their own limits but also the perceptions of beauty and vulnerability in a fiercely competitive environment.
The narrative takes an interesting turn when we witness Fenna Ramos, fresh off her triumph, embracing an audacious black and white striped print that sends ripples of dissent through her fellow competitors, particularly Pauline. The scene evokes almost theatrical drama, as emotional stakes rise higher than the temperatures on a summer beach. Fenna’s decision to sport stripes while the rest grapple with feelings of inadequacy reflects the often brutal nature of competitive art and self-expression.
A Photographic Playground of Emotions
The episode’s emphasis on pushing boundaries is enhanced by the presence of guest jury member Sahir Yerunkar, who adds a sprinkle of experimental advice. His insightful observation about manipulating shutter speed doesn’t just serve as a technical lesson—it becomes a metaphor for the contestants’ journey, suggesting that sometimes, one must embrace chaos and unpredictability to achieve the most stunning results.
Meanwhile, Claes Iversen’s seasoned perspective on nudity adds a layer of comfort amid the starkness of the assignment. His attitude demystifies the taboo, positioning nakedness as an essential part of this artistic exploration. With a poise that speaks to years in the industry, he reminds the contestants—and the audience—that creativity can flourish even in the most vulnerable states.
Real-Life Revelations and Emotional Struggles
The contestants are not just battling for points; they’re navigating a landscape steeped in real-life experiences. Fenna’s model, having recently given birth, showcases the dynamic of motherhood against the backdrop of artistic nudity. The discomfort she feels in certain poses transforms into a shared experience of understanding and sensitivity, reminding viewers of the complex narratives that body imagery encapsulates.
Pauline, with her humorous yet candid references to being a “nude runner,” effortlessly draws in the audience. Her anecdotes about motherhood surprisingly blend levity with realism, capturing the true essence of being a parent in a world that often struggles with nudity and body acceptance. As she brushes her children’s hair, unabashed and free, one can’t help but ponder the normalcy of body positivity in a family context—a refreshing contrast to the competitive backdrop of photography.
Drama, Crisis, and Revelations
As the episode progresses, the stakes peak with Antoinette Hertsenberg facing elimination. The scene resembles a high-stakes theater, rife with suspense as judges weigh the contestants’ efforts. William Rutten’s dramatic twist not only saves Antoinette but also underscores the unpredictability inherent in creative pursuits. His declaration serves as both a relief and a cliffhanger, promising more revelations in the competitions ahead.
