Judging #6: Go-See
Ashley:
Mario:
I don't like your face photo at all. It is way too creative for a showcard. This needs to show your simpler, unique modelling features.. and you're hiding half of your face with your hand and then looking to a weird direction with your eyes. Your hair is also a mess... :s I don't like it at all.
There's too much going on with your second photo. I mean we can't even see your pose with that dress, but then what we get to see is kind of uncomfortable... I don't know... I don't like it at all.
I think you might be in trouble... I think you've been inconsistent this whole game; and we're at a point where i'm thinking you're not getting back to the top. It's been too struggling for you. Maybe you survive this round, but your chances to win this game are slipping away.
Montana:
Your upper body shot, is not my favorite. It's quirky and that's you of course which is great but it's not translating as a great model. You are kind of being lost behind the hair and the jewelry that I find that this is definitely not showing me you and how strong you are as a model rather than trying to sell me jewelry. You definitely took a risk here but definitely not a shot I'd really enjoy seeing for a showcard.
Your full body shot, I just love. So high fashion, so exquisite the body pose is so strong even though that dress could make you seem shapeless but you're showing us that you're a model. There is a lot going on but I think you're the star, you're owning all those elements and bringing a high fashion model.
I find this showcard kind of convoluted because you have such a quirky not so strong model shot while you have one that is great so they are kind of fighting each other. Almost canceling each other out but I like that the full body shot does take more command for me therefore it kind of has a bit of a more positive side than a really negative one.
Zac: Ashley, I really love your upper body shot actually. You do something unique, your eyes are super strong, it shows your bone structure very well, and it's kind of out of the box. For high fashion I really love it. I find that other shot a little bland, mainly due to the color combination and your pale face I guess, so it's mainly the setting. I'm not sure what happened to one of your arms, it looks really weird. The dress doesn't look flattering on you and your proportions look off... no sorry, I'm not a big fan of this one.
Candice:
Mario:
In your first photo your face is too stiff. YOur mouth is not placed in a natural way and the shadow makes you look old. I think a much simpler relaxed photo would have worked better. The other part is that if I see this in a go-see i think you're married to a style, and I wish to see just your plain beauty because that way I get to see versatility and get to see you can work in other stuff.
Your body is great, I think it is well showcased... However, the face looks so weird. I wish you didn't had that cloth on you... because it takes away from a very perfect body picture.
I think you're still a strong competitor... Not as strong as past weeks but you're still in it! Good job!
Montana:
Your face photograph is captivating because of your eyes and the lux feeling it has to it. I think your features are beautifully shown here but I do find your mouth kind of tight because of your teeth, they look like they are biting down. I think that you really showed us something that is all about your beautiful face and giving us a preview of you.
I think your full body shot is great, it's a good pose to show off your body and you're giving us a good expression especially since it's different. This definitely shows us what you can do in terms of posing and giving us how you can work your body especially your curves.
Together these shots are interesting because they both show how you can work props and accessories. Your face picture shows us you can sell accessories in a campaign for like Harry Winston while the full body seems like an editorial for a magazine trying to show some accessories. You definitely have a simple cohesion here but it works.
Zac: The head shot is really good Candice. It's kind of in the middle of high fashion/commercial for me, you can really go both ways with this and I just love that. Versatility girl! The other shot I find a little disappointing. It's weird-ish and it doesn't show off the fashion in a great way. You want to be booked, so you want us to show that you can sell stuff, but this one just doesn't do it for me.
Edita:
Mario:
I think your face looks old and weird. There's too much shin, your eyes have too much makeup, your hair is not working and the light in front and behind you is weird, not fashionable at all.
Your body is also weird. I don't lkie the color of your skin, you look dirty. I like the face because it gives attention to the body but the pose is way too weird and doesn't do you any favors.
I'm so sad. You've been so strong, I think you didn't spend many time working on this because those two photos are not good at all. You're still not going home, but i'm very disappointed in you. The week when you needed to bring your most, you brought your least.
Montana:
You have such an AMAZING face, this shot shows off some of its qualities such as your cheekbones, jawline and eyes. You're showing off your commercial beauty because you've definitely been showing us more of your edgy side in your submissions, I can tell it's a bit out of your comfort zone because it's slightly stiff/forced but still a gorgeous shot. I like your elegant neck in this photograph and I like that you're doing a lot of great things but had this felt a bit more natural it would have been a slam dunk.
You showed that you're trying to be a chameleon since your portfolio is so edgy and your beauty shot is more commercial, you wanted to show your edgier sexier side with this full body shot. I love this twists, turns and angles in your pose because it makes it interesting and gives us all of you in one shot. You really were able to hide everything private but show us your model. The face is okay, I'm not a fan of it really but it's not that bad that it takes away from the shot, it's a bit in the moment but not having a huge connection to it.
I find that you tried to be the chameleon in your shots and showing us different sides, wish that there was a stronger connection between the two so it was more fluid and not like two completely different shots that don't look like the same model but it shows that you have different sides.
Zac: You look kind of stiff in your headshot Edita. Your face looks kind of skewed and while you're gorgeous, the shot itself isn't great at all. The other shot is better, I like your pose and even though you look way skinny, this one would catch my eye. Is it the best for a showcard, I think not. In my opinion, both are kind of commercial actually - one is like a covergirl shot, the other is on the commercial side too. When combined on your show card, it doesn't work though. The combination looks odd and the photos don't go together.
Ginta:
Mario:
Ok Mis Ginta... I like that you picked something that could connect well both pictures... And I think your choice was a good one because it separates you from everybody else...
The face portrait is GORGEOUS. best face i've seen from you so far. Wow. THis is what i was waiting to see from you. Only negative: The branches... It takes away simplicity from the shot... But I would still book you in a heartbeat with that gorgeous and striking face.
The body is perfect too. I like the pose, how long it looks, how in control you look in it.However if it had a face like the one on your left, it would make it more simple.. Show you like a canvas and not like a very strong model; because if i were looking for something softer in the body, I would be doubting if i should pick you.
This was almost perfection Ginta, and I got to say... even with the roller coaster you've been... if you keep bringing pictures like this every week I believe you could win this whole thing.
Montana:
I like your prop in your face shot, it really does bring more to the shot but doesn't take away from you. Your face is good and it's strong but there is something just slightly off in your eyes. I do like the vulnerability you've shown in this shot though.
Your body picture is amazing. Just looking at it, it really just strikes you as an edgy girl. It's cool and I think the pose is so great along with the face, I would say I don't like the neck. Your missing neck makes your head just look strange but other than that this shot is super strong, I think this is definitely one of my favorite shots I've seen from you but that neck would have made it PERFECTION.
I think that the connection of the tree idea was cool and very unique. You went a creative direction and it really gave us an interesting showcard both shots have their own great quality to them and show us your model. Great work.
Zac: Your first shot is amazing Ginta, I think this is your strongest photo so far. It's captivating, it's unique, the branches kind of add to the shot, love it. I'm not that much of a fan of your other shot as it makes me kind of uncomfortable. However, it does show a completely different side of you while it does work perfectly in combination with the other shot. Well done. Booking homegirl.
River:
No Show
Montana: I'm sad to see you not submit anything because you were doing so well! You were in the top of our lists and would have been pretty safe moving on each round. Sorry to see you go.
Simon:
Mario:
I love your face. How strong it is. It is perfect for me... Amazing.
The body has been what always turns me off with you. I'm not seeing body at all... So if i wanted to pick somebody with a great body and pose and I based it only on a showcard I pretty much had nothing to judge you on.
However I do like the contrast between the photos and I believe the showcard looks very professional and interesting. Good job on that too.
One of the two pictures having eye contact would have been nice.
You're still a force in this competition. I believe there's nowhere but the finals for you
Montana:
Your facial shot is probably my favorite one this entire round. It shows off your features while being a model. Your eyes are connecting even not looking at the camera, your great skin is showing and all those little features look great. Very simple and elegant shot that is a standout for sure.
I am on the other side of the coin with your full body shot. Face lacks energy, it just seems like a zombie almost, you seem so distant and so standoffish which is not a good way to come off when you're in front of a client. Had you of mimicked that expression in your face photograph it would have been stronger but I get that you tried to show diversity with your expression but this one is not strong. The pose is good but it does cut off your waist and you aren't showing off more of you since you're hiding a bit.
I see an edgy model in one picture and the other looks like you tried to go commercial but it seems like a miss and goes into the amateur feel. I wish you had kept a bit more of what you did in the first photograph into the second because you lost my interest with the full body, I'm wondering if you can even do full body shots since most of your facial pictures are doing the best.
Zac: Simon, my first comment is that your face looks kind of the same in both shots. I don't really like that and I wish you showed more versatility. However, I love that head shot. It's so strong, I have nothing bad to say about it. The second shot shows that you can do an amazing job showing off fashion. It's kind of on the boring/safe side, but it's perfect for a showcard.
Vlada:
Mario:
So let's say I was looking for a model for a photoshoot. I would definitely pick you.
1. You're differentiating yourself with your unique look and your pose. That's so important.
2. The photos are simple but effective, they are not hiding anything; they're just making you look great.
3. I wish your face photo was more of a close up and then I wish your eyes on the body photo were giving me more contact.
Overall Vlada this is great. You would get booked from me. This is a 90%, I think it is your best to date.
Montana:
Your upper body shot is pretty good, I love the expression and you come off very doll like. If I were a client, I'm not sure if I'd be wowed or impressed by this shot, it's alright but I wish there was something more special to it. You're not owning it as much as I would have liked, you really could show off your amazing beauty since I know you're a beautiful model.
I think your full body shot is super cool and interesting. You're using your long limbs to your advantage and your face is so amazing in this. There is such an elegance in the way you're moving that this has a quiet strength to it that it's not trying to be too modely but still a model. I think while Simon has my favorite upper body shot you have my favorite full body shot.
I think there is that connection I see in your doll-like qualities trying to be shown off which is good because that is something you and Gemma Ward are known for which has been a success in the industry.
Zac: Vlada, your first shot doesn't impress me at all. I wish we could see a bit more of your face and the black/white doesn't really serve a purpose here. It's not good enough for a show card, it's just a bit on the bland side. I do like your second shot though. It's simple, but it works. Nice way to show off your legs and your ability to pose. This is one of the better full body shots for me.
Ashley:
Mario:
I don't like your face photo at all. It is way too creative for a showcard. This needs to show your simpler, unique modelling features.. and you're hiding half of your face with your hand and then looking to a weird direction with your eyes. Your hair is also a mess... :s I don't like it at all.
