Star photographer William Rutten is not afraid that celebrities who participate in The Perfect Picture will fish in the same pond as him. According to him, those stars don’t think his profession is lucrative enough.
The Perfect Picture is one of the more popular programs to participate in among celebrities, because you don’t have to eat dead cow eyes, play crazy games or starve yourself. At most you have to take some nice pictures and they all like that. Then they all shout that they want to keep taking photographs.
‘Only 1,000 euros?!’
However, that never happens, says top photographer William Rutten, who is a jury member in the program. When push comes to shove, the stars will turn their noses up at his profession, he says Television.
So William does not fear for his job. “No, most celebrities do not want to work for the money that the average photographer earns. I once received a call from a former participant: he had been offered a two-day job for 1,000 euros and was surprised at how low the amount was.”
Well paid
That star had no desire to get out of bed for two days and then only pay a thousand euros. “And that was a well-paid assignment too. Welcome to the world of photographers.”
Participating in The Perfect Picture will also generate more money. “I think celebrities are queuing up to participate. We respect everyone, you can really learn something and it is a fantastic adventure with a fun group. If we want, we can make ten more seasons with only the people who have said they want to participate.”
