To determine who gets a spot in the finale of the Next Top Model 14: Art of Redemption, the judges prepared you five different tasks. So, shall we get to it?

TASKS:

1.) ANGELS & DEMONS
For this task, the models are going to post a collaged photo of their models; a collage of two opposites - they are to portray the characteristics, actions, preferences of one angel and its counterpart, the demon.

2.) BEHIND THE SCENES
This is very new for everyone, and quite different. For this task, the models need to model with someone else BUT THEY SHOULD NOT be the main/center of attraction. You just need to be outshone, but still show up.

3.) MOTION VIDEO
We all know you have what it takes to be good with photos, but how about in motion? We'll see that in this task. For this task, you are to show us how good they can perform in motion through presenting a video.

4.) PARTNERS
This one might be similar to the behind the scenes shoot, but this time you are the focus. For this task, you would need a photo with a partner, and the goal is that you will not only share the spotlight, you should be the main star.

5.) WARRIORS
In this day full of hatred and judgements, you needs a strong mind, heart and dedication to push through. The goal of this task is to showcase what is a warrior, a survivor - someone who fights in battle and is known to have courage and skill.

Now as you all know, THREE JUDGES have YET TO USE their SAVES. And, their saves now will be converted to a FREE PASS. So the other two judges' (I still have yet to use mine) have already mailed me who gets to have their choice for free pass.

Now here's the catch, if you get a free pass, you are not to perform a task of your chosing and you'll already be given a perfect score for that.

Here are the judges' pick for free pass.

JUDGE CARLY: One free pass to be given to JHONA

JUDGE LENOX: One free pass to be given to MILES
.

.
JUDGE JERARD: One free pass to be given to JHONA

Which means that Miles, you'll not to perform one task of your choosing while you, Jhona gets to pick TWO task not to perform for this semi finals task.

Best of luck everyone. You have 48 HOURS to submit your semifinals task. Thank you and goodluck!

I will be using my free pass for the Motion photoshoot

1) Angel v Demon
https://imgur.com/a/Vv0gbKB

This to me showcases angel and demon perfectly. On one side you have bubbly and playful which is good traits. And On the other you have dark and mysterious which is more devil like

2) Behind the Scenes

I don’t think that I necessarily fade into the background, it’s just neither of us stand out which makes me think of behind the scenes for this shot

3)  free pass

4) Partners

This one definitely shows off standing out as my partner in this shot takes a step back with a more standard pose and facial expression.

5) Warriors

This one was a bit tough, however this shot to me exudes so much confidence that is a special quality every warrior needs and this is it.

Jon:

Thanks again all for giving me another chance. I really tried to give you guys something different than what you're used to from me, so I hope you see that.

1) Angel vs Demon
https://i.imgur.com/ko7gbaH.png
I'm giving you softness and well-intentioned in the first picture while I look villainous in my second one.

2) Behind the Scenes

While the woman's front and center and I'm giving her the shine, I'm still holding my own in the back!

3) Motion

Here I'm in a commercial showing you that I can serve just as much in motion as I can on film. I'm serving face and angles even in motion!

4) Partners
https://i.imgur.com/fE1FLp4.png
I'm the main star here leading my partner into nowhere land. I'm working to push my main star status by giving you stand-out eyes and an action pose. I'm still sharing the spotlight and giving my partner enough shine to sell her outfit and be a fully present part of the fashion story.

5) Warrior
This photo is oozing with warrior energy. Here, you see my courageousness and my willing to fight in my eyes.

This is the Semi-Finals, so expectations are a lot harder. Please do not take these critiques personally, receive it as constructed criticism, and bring a masterpiece for the Finale to win this entire thing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANGELS & DEMONS
Bella Hadid (Rubes): I think these both are great depictions of Good VS Evil or Angels VS Demons. I think these are both great pictures, but I liked the Demon photo more than the Angel one. I feel like we’ve seen the Angel Bella throughout the season, so it’s great to see the darker version with the dyed hair, so overall these are great shots.

Jhonattan Burjack (Russell11): I really liked both of these photos. I can definitely see the innocent, naive boy, while in the other ones, I can see the mischievousness, especially in your eyes, so overall, this was a solid batch. I like the Angel photo a lot more than the Demon one, but these aren’t bad photos.

Jon Kortajarena (tast519): I’m not a fan of your Angel photo, and I’m a little on the fence on how I feel about the Demon one.

Miles McMillan (coolKat): I like these photos Miles, These are two different types of photos showcasing two different emotions. In the first one, I can see the angel perspective of things while on the other side, I can see the darkness and the Demon side of things, so overall, these two photos were excellent.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARTNERS
Bella Hadid (Rubes): Bella, I’m on the fence with how I feel about this photo, and I’ll tell you why. I feel like all though you did stand out, the male model stood out as well. I can see where your centered and holding on to whatever the prop or artwork, but at the same time, he didn’t look bad either. So I don’t think he was the main star of this photo, but you weren’t either to some degree, so this is not a bad picture I’m just personally don’t know how to feel about it.

Jon Kortajarena (tast519): Jon, I think this is a good shot from you. I like how holding her hand and kind of leading her to wherever you’re going. I believe your facial expression fits very well with this photo, so overall, this is a good shot.

Miles McMillan (coolKat): Miles, I think you are the focus of the photo, but mainly because your standing closer to the camera, and she’s just sitting there, so this isn’t a bad photo but it just what we consider a safe shot to me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARRIORS
Bella Hadid (Rubes): I like the symbolism of the staircase and fighting your way up the stairs for what’s right. So I think overall, this is a good shot. I find your pose very awkward, but overall this is a good photo.

Jon Kortajarena (tast519): I don’t think this photo showcases warrior mentality. I can see where you were going with the whole facial expression and the eyes, but I don’t think you hit the mark precisely with this one.

Miles McMillan (coolKat): I understand this one was tough for you, but I don’t think you showcased what was asked with this photo. I don’t see the confidence you speak of in your description. I don’t think your facial expression and pose exactly exude the spirit of a warrior; I don’t see it.

Angels and Demons

Miles: These photos individually do a good job with the theme you especially nailed the second, my biggest gripe though is that the photos dont really mesh all that well together when part of a collage is how the overall package looks

Jon: You certainly have the cohesion down but i cant say your angel is all that strong fit for the theme

Jhon: This you really nailed, while black and white is a lazy way to get cohesion it works for a reason and both photos to me read the theme perfectly, great job

Bella: this is an interesting one, its very cohesive and i see the theme but i also cant say you nailed it, your photos are great but i cant say they are showstopping, very solid job overall though

Behind the Scenes

Miles: if your definition of behind the scenes is the whole photo sucks i dont know what to tell you

Jon: I think you did great in this task(to be blunt i think its the only one you knocked out of the park), you met the task with a great shot that your still working without being the centre of the framing

Jhon: i dont think this at all hits the theme and the photo itself is super bland, definetly not your best showing

Bella: Another very interesting approach to the theme, framing-wise you are front and centre but with the little narrative in the picture you are correct, it maybe a loophole but its a clever one i cant hold against you

Warriors

Miles: if your gonna post a photo with little face value relevance to the theme you need to give us an explanation to justify why you chose it cause right now i bont see it

Jon: just because you say a bunch of random buzzwords doesnt mean it fits the theme, its a competent shot but not for the theme

Bella: interesting seems to be my reaction to every decision you make, your explanations a bit vague but specific enough to where im not mad about its inclusion here, the pic itself feels awkward and i cant say its stellar for the theme but its not a flop like the other 2 were for me

ANGELS AND DEMONS
- Bella Hadid (Rubes)
This is very well done, as you show off not only a timid side, but also a vixen vibe. The shots are both stunning.

- Jhonattan Burjack (Russell11)
Both shots are sexy in their own way, while offering two different personalities. Nicely done.

- Jon Kortajarena (tast519)
I like that you made both photos black and white, as it gives it a similar vibe. Both are very different, but I think your angle shot could have been a bit more innocent looking.

- Miles McMillan (coolKat)
These are both good shots and together really show off two very different sides of you.

BEHOND THE SCENES
- Bella Hadid (Rubes)
You share the shot well, and still manage to shine. The styling and overall artisticness of this shot is worth applauding. 

- Jhonattan Burjack (Russell11)
This was good as you aren’t the main focus, but you still share half the shot. You are bringing attention, but not all of it.

- Jon Kortajarena (tast519)
Nicely done. I like that you don’t take the attention, but you help to bring it to the main model of this shot.

- Miles McMillan (coolKat)
Overall this looks good and you’re not the main focus of this shot. However, you still share some of the attention, which is good.

WARRIORS
- Bella Hadid (Rubes)
Great styling, lighting and posing. The story of a competitor shines through and resonates as you are the last female standing.

- Jon Kortajarena (tast519)
The smoldering look you’re giving, makes me believe you could slay a dragon if needed. The lighting, styling and overall look is on point.

- Miles McMillan (coolKat)
This is a solid shot, but not the strongest for this category. However, I do think you have done a good job so far and this won’t hurt you much.
