00:00I'm an assistant at the gallery. And a photographer.
00:04Laura, these are wonderful.
00:06Hopefully Roxanne likes my work as much as you do and agrees to put me in the newcomer showcase.
00:11We've got a huge problem with Gala.
00:13Gala?
00:14He wants an A-lister. We either find a star or we find new jobs.
00:18Whatever happened to legendary photographer Shane Mitchell? Where has he been for the past ten years?
00:25I'm going to try and find Shane Mitchell and get him to premiere new work at the Gala.
00:29According to the article, he could be running a coffee shop.
00:32Hi there. How can I help you?
00:33Does a Shane Mitchell happen to work here?
00:35No. No. Sorry.
00:37The more I think about it, he's pretty overrated anyway.
00:40You know, this is just my opinion, but I don't think candidates are as easy as you think they are.
00:45It's you. You're Shane Mitchell. Now you can do the show and the gallery won't have to close.
00:50I'm not doing any show. I don't take photographs anymore.
00:53Besides, we have real work to do figuring out how to bring in more customers.
00:57They'll buy your work with money.
01:01I have a proposal.
01:02Go on.
01:03We each take one photo and we'll get some neutral parties to pick their favorite.
01:07And if they pick mine, you'll agree to do the Gala.
01:10The winner of the first STEAM photo contest is...
01:14Laura.
01:15Yes!
01:17If I'm going to do this in only two weeks, I'm going to need an assistant.
01:20Oh. Laura, congratulations. You get to be Shane's assistant for the next two weeks.
01:26I believe there's still a photographer in you, whether you see it or not.
01:30What made you stop taking photographs all those years ago?
01:33The love for photography was something that I always shared with my dad.
01:38And after he passed, I just couldn't find that love again.
01:41And then you burst through my door. A little thank you gift.
01:45I don't know what to say.
01:47You and Stacy left off the best print of the bunch.
01:50That print was a gift. You can't use it.
01:52You know how much is riding on this Gala being a success.
01:55I thought you knew what that photo meant to me.
01:58Let's just get through the Gala and be done.
02:01Here we have a mirror.
02:04So, we thought there's no better way to close out the show than by having you all reflect.
02:10I've spent so long trying to capture the perfect moment.
02:13I couldn't risk losing you.
