Watch out photographers, there's a new photography reality show on the horizon – complete with a surprising camera phone twist. New streaming show Exposure is a TV competition series that will show eight photographers competing to win a $250,000 prize and the title of America's best mobile photographer.

Streaming on 26 April on Hulu, each of the six episodes of Exposure will feature two challenges that the contestants will tackle with help of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. Episode themes include #ThrowbackThursday, the trend of capturing nostalgia, bodies in motion for action shots and capturing sound in a photo.

Take a look at the teaser video below to catch an initial glimpse at what viewers can expect from this new photography TV show.

Similar to the new BBC photography TV show, Great British Photography Challenge, the eight contestants will compete against each other to create the best photos in each episode. However, the difference with Exposure is that the photographers are only allowed to use a camera phone to capture their shots.

With camera phone photography on the rise, it's not surprising to see media companies taking advantage. We'll certainly be interested to see how the photographers adapt to using the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, rather than a manual camera.

Co-created by Hulu, Samsung and BBH Entertainment, you can start watching Exposure on 26 April on Hulu.
