"Unique x Flawsome"

Basically for your photoshoot this week yu will pick from the two themes above (it's not the same).

If you would pick "Unique", present me a photo that showcase your qualities for being uniquely yourself. Present me a photo that makes you stands out from anybody, that will be remembered in you and what makes you really special, or simply what makes you, you.

If you would pick "Flawsome", so first what is it? “Flawsome,” (as the adjective suggests) is used to describe something that is awesome because of its flaws. I want you to look at your flaws and showcase them in in your photos.

Of course an explanation would be important, step up your game for you to earn a place (comebacks) or retain your place (top 5).

24 hours to do the task, Goodluck!

Examples:
- Lindsey Wixson (known for her unique looks, defined in part by her "bee-stung lips", "rosebud pout", and gapped front teeth)

Not going to lie this was quite tough.

I have always been told that I needed to lose weight. That my thighs were too big and that I wouldn't be a good model because of those flaws. But here I am today embracing those flaws. I am showing off my legs and my figure to show those haters I can be a successful model and to show others do what you want to do don't let your flaws or what other people tell you your flaws are drag you down

Elva Hsiao / Unique (nose)

In a lot of my photos I find that the editors have tweeked my nose to make it look more attractive (or generic) to my audience. In this photo, that is not the case. You are seeing the real Elva: Hsiao Ya-Hsuan, in this photo, for I think that my nose makes me unique compared to other Taiwanese figures who follow the conventional East Asian beauty standards: I am embracing what makes me different, since it is of course our unique features that make us stand out from the crowd.

In a world full of air brush and Photoshop it is so important that we project realistic beauty standards to women with all different kinds of faces and identities.

I think his best features is his fitness. It shows in every photo.

Lucky Blue Smith is unique for his Platinum blonde hair.

Now yes anyone can dye you're hair this color but my career most definitely picked up when I dyed my hair this color. I guess it just made me stand out and it attributed to my qualities. Now I do have flaws tons of them. Like my teeth and my hair when I was young but the reason I choose to showcase the platinum blonde hair is because it broke me out as a model and helped me show the world that I can do this. They seen I can do this. I glowed up and showed you can use your flaws to become a great model and you can use something unique about you to also become a great model. Even Ellen Degeneres took a liking to me.

During this photo shoot I focused on the flaws within and imo the whole outfit is a flaw as the coat does not go with the hat and vice versa but also the way I posed made the flaws work.

Spencer is known as Muscle Model. But he is not like other muscle model that always have a very sexy look on their face. As much as I try to look sexy, it turns out to be kind of blunt photo or kind of funny or kind of flirty a little bit but not sexy. It's all because of my face. It's not that I didnt try so hard, it's just my face which is not into sexy shoot. So I try to use my face to make a shoot which tells a story not just another photo that just tells you what is my unique. In that photo you will get so much story by just look at his hand and eyes. It shows so much struggle to get where I am right now. And all that other story that you got in your head, that is what makes me, myself, Spencer Neville. And thats what makes me unique and outstand as muscle model. I hope you enjoy it

I chose this photo because it's what makes me unique. Not only am I a fitness model but I am a trans man. Doing shirtless pictures and exposing myself has always been a fear of mine. Am I convincing? Do people still see Ashely? What happens if people find out I used to be a woman? And the questions keep running around in my mind and it's almost like I have to fight my way out of my own insecurities to have the confidence that I have. This photo Both exposes my unique trans male body as well as my inner spirit to fight my way out of the internalized fear I have for myself.

SUI HE in "FLAWSOME"

Obviously, I picked flawsome as the theme of my photo this week. In this photo, I'm giving my all. I didn't focus on the qualities which made me unique. I took a risk by showcasing my flaws.

In this photo, you will see the imperfections in my facial features such as my thick eyebrows, lifeless lips, and not-so pointed nose. But even with my imperfections, I still manage to produce a high-quality photo. I look beautiful and very confident in my photo. High fashion and fierce.

My facial expression is like someone who is in so much pain and striving to withstand the struggles in life full of mockery and insecurity. You can see the fire in her eyes. The drive to come out on top.

I want this photo to be an inspiration for people who have low self-esteem. We don't have to be perfect in order for us to be successful in life. No one is perfect in this world. Sometimes our flaws are the reasons why we stand out among the rest. With this photo, I encourage everyone to look past their flaws and look at it as an asset.

Francisco, your photo I think was changed, as I already saw it. Luckily, I have that photo because I was to edit that before.

Here's the link of Francisco's photo:

I think his explanation was unique style of clothing (?) correct me if I'm wrongn, I already saw the photo.

Anyways, Happy 4th of July everyone :)
