Previously on Tengaged's Next Top Model, the girls had to choose a word which they felt best represented them as a model and this would be the theme for their photoshoot. In a challenge where the girls had to give a talk on why they chose their word. Some impressed, but some didn't. However in the end Annaliesse came out on top and won the challenge. At panel, Annaliesse continued to impressed earning herself a first call-out, however Aurora and Paulina landed in the bottom two. In the end, the judges felt that Aurora's will to win was more important than Paulina's potential and she was sent home. Who's gonna be eliminated tonight?
:: CHALLENGE ::
For your challenge this week, we want to test your fashion knowledge! I want you to write a paragraph about who your current favorite up-and-coming model is. This CANNOT be a model who is well-known but someone who we could possibly of never heard of. The girl who gives the best reasons will win the challenge and a special prize! The Chance to appear on the website of T-Models, the agency which the winner will be signed to!
:: PHOTOSHOOT THEME ::
For this weeks theme I want to go for something different. Something often used in Vogue are 'angels', and this week I want you to submit a photo where the model is being 'angelic'. They don't necessarily have to have wings, but as long as they are angel-like it is fine. HOWEVER you don't HAVE to be a good angel!
NOTE: If any of you use 'Victoria's Secret Angels' you will be highly criticized.
If you are struggling with finding a photo feel free to ask myself, Lily or Suzanna for some help / advice as we would be more than welcome to lend a helping hand.
:: HINTS & TIPS ::
If you are struggling to find a good photo, try searching for vogue spreads or magazines. Or (I find this the best way) searching for models like:
~ Sonny Zhou
~ Jourdan Dunn
~ Jessica Stam
~ Sasha Pivovarova
~ Miranda Kerr
~ Liya Kebede
~ Lara Stone
~ Tanya Dziahileva
~ Naomi Campbell
~ Gemma Ward
~ Du Juan
~ Lily Cole
~ Gisele Bundchen
~ etc....
when i think of angels the first thing i think of is "Grace" and "Innocence" and this is what i feel is shown in this photo :)
Challenge
~~~~~~~~~
The model who's work i really enjoy is "Shalon Harlow" her photos blow me away, most of them use the black and white theme and this really let's us see her natural beauty, in some of her photos she has amazing facial structure, and she may be old but she can still provide excellent photos

I picked Gabrielle Sullivan. She has such a classical beautiful face that is perfect for beauty shots. I was looking through newer models and I feel in love with her. The innocent look in her face plus the bit of fashion edge she has going works. I feel like with a couple more spreads by her she will be big. :)

I picked this photo because I feel like it's an evil angel without the obvious wings. Not every angel that is out there is "nice abs innocent" I feel like this is dark but high fashion. This is the amazing Sasha Pivovarova in Voge Italia! Love this spread!
challenge
Bleached out models generally intrigue me, but I especially LOVE Ginta Lapina! Her look is a quite alien-esque, but I also think she's quite beautiful, youthful and fresh as well. She's a stunner.
ive choosen adriana lima, this has a angelic feeling to it but with an edge...
challange:
Daphne Groeneveld—This Dutch lass' ethereal features sure make her stand out from the crowd. Just signed with Supreme Management NY this week, she's set to make a splash.
Valerie van der Graaf - She is an extremely beautiful, tall and young lady! She is very confident infront of the camera and not afraid to do anything she is asked for. She poses amazingly in all of her photos! I am sure this young lady will make it to the top one day.
Challenge:
I chose Ashley Smith because she doesn't seem to fit the "stereotype" of models. I noticed she has a gap in her teeth which means that she doesn't feel like she has to be "perfect" to be a model, she can just be herself.
Challenge:
Irina Kulikova, she is 16 and has walked runways and landed national campaigns, for her short time in the industry she has enjoyed much success. she is far from a household name, but she has done controversial pictures, walked on the best catwalks wearing the top designers, and is beginning to do commercials, she i think could be a supermodel.
photoshoot: http://lovelyfragrance.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/thierry_mugler_angel.jpg
I chose this picture because of the models expression and pose, the costume and pose are both very angelic and yet unique, it makes her eyes pop out, and her pose is simple yet captivating. I think it is a very unique yet beautiful photo.
Angella Lindvall by Patrick Demarchelier for Harper's Bazaar
I chose this photo because even without wings, Angella's haunting face and beautiful movement remind me of a gorgeous angel who has fallen from heaven. Even the dress in the photo, with white silk and puffed sleeves, is a modern twist on the classic angel.
