1. Ho Chi Minh City
Aired: 6/23/2026
Ten enthusiastic aspiring photographers travel to beautiful Vietnam. Rice fields, buffaloes, fascinating cities, train rides, and stunning nature form the photogenic backdrop this time. The photographers are split into two groups of five, who will meet later in the series. The first five photographers start in the country's largest city: Ho Chi Minh City. Who among them has the most photographic talent? During various photoshoots, the candidates get to know not only the country but also each other and their cameras increasingly well. Photographer William Rutten is their coach and judge, and he is assisted by Vietnamese documentary photographer Maika Elan.
