- A free group
- To be the first person on my gift list
Now, for your photo shoot this week, you had to choose a picture that would impress me! And unfortunately, not a lot of you impressed me. I was quite disappointed, because your pictures this week were all very boring, and when I've given you the freedom to choose anything, you chose such safe pictures…
Iwan - This picture is okay, I guess. I like the textures and elements of the picture though, because it makes the photography better. But if you took away the scale/flower things on the face, this would be a dull image.
Yuki - I'm sorry, but your bangs are WAY too big for your face - I can barely see your eyes! However, I can't judge you on the way the stylists did your hair, but I still think that this is also a very bland photograph. The warm colours and the classic makeup also make this feel quite wholesome.
Allie - This photo isn't inspiring at all. It's a boring looking girl next to a shack of some sort who is wearing an indian headdress. That's your photograph this week in a nutshell. This looks very amateur, and when a girl like you has been able to deliver great pictures in the past, but starts to decline , I'm wondering if those earlier photos were just flukes - beginners luck. I also think you have an attitude problem, because you're constantly defending yourself in a very mean way, and the way you talk to me is very condescending and rude.
Kiko - Originally, you had a photo of some person singing. And I am SO glad you changed! The photo you delivered this week is flawless, and I think that you must know that I love Allison Harvard, because this is similar to what Allie did in Week 1. And I think you played it safe by choosing someone that I like. However, this still is a good photo, and you did phenomenal in the popularity poll!
Sophie - Yay! Finally, someone didn't post a portrait shot! I think this photograph is flawless. The only thing I dislike is that you chose Kate Moss, which is overdone in this industry. And though I used this photo in Tayvi's Next Top Model, it doesn't break the rules, so I'll let it pass. But I am glad that your photo stands out from the rest of the group.
I will now evaluate each model as a whole, and when I call you back, I will announce which models will be going to…LONDON.
