Photoshoot #2

"Binge Mode"

Hello, Top 6, as I've said we will be playing tribute to television twice and this week we will be having our Part 2. For this week's photoshoot, we are talking about your favorite popular TV series/shows (of course would include those streaming platforms such as Hulu, Netflix, etc.).

This week we are looking back to those trending moments shown to us (spoiler alert for some), we are talking about moments such as the disastrous "Fire Drill" from The Office, to what Cersei does to the Great Sept of Baelor in Game of Thrones, to even the scenes of Emily being a "certified tourist" in Emilyn in Paris, you get the gist any scenes that stick with you.

What your task is: portrayal of those scenes. Imagine in your own take what the character would wear, the setting and the ambiance your character is or will be in or any ideas you can imagine. It's your own take, just make sure to explain well through both your shots and story what scene you are talking about.

Again there would be no limit to the tv (or streaming platform) series we are talking about, past TVs or present will not matter. I do hope since it's Top 6, you will be stepping or thinking outside the box and delivering us Top 5 worthy photos. 24 hours for this photoshoot, Good luck! x

Also if you can provide us references from what scene you are talking about (short clips, gifs, photos, just anything), that would be nice, but not required.

Tanya:
Option #1
Show: The Golden Girls
Scene:

The Golden Girls is one of my favorite shows of all time and this scene has always been one of my favorites. I think this photo represents this scene because of the 80s "old lady fashion", as well as there being 4 figures in the picture. Tanya represents Blanche here.

Option #2
Show: Glee
Scene:

Glee is known for tackling many difficult subjects, but they handled the issue of homelessness in a very interesting way. When people think of homelessness, there is a very standard image of disenfranchised people, however Sam broke that mold showing that homelessness can affect anyone. My picture tries to represent a different perspective of homelessness similar to Sam.

Reece: Sex Education
Scene:

To begin season two of sex education, a transfer student from France named Rahim enrolls in the school. This scene sets up his story arch with Eric and plays a primary role throughout the season. As a model, this scene was surprisingly challenging to recreate. Rahim is confident with his identity but isn't cocky about it, which unintentionally gives him swagger. This is demonstrated by gravitating everyone's attention to him without saying anything or doing anything flashy. He is just walking to class. For my outfit, I'm taking a risk by wearing a sweater with holes. The goal was to make it stand out enough to capture people's attention but not appear to be low fashion. Also, in a very colorful environment, he is the only character wearing black and I wanted to make sure that stayed true with my photo.

Shanina: Castaway
Scene:


The film tells of the story of a man who is stranded upon a desert island, there he learns to survive and ultimately thrive in his new environment whilst longing to return to his prior life. Throughout the movie the character of Chuck learns to accept his fate and make his new experiences a habitat which he is comfortable within. I wanted to display the characters emotions and experiences in an image, displaying him now calm and comfortable with his new environment whilst expressing this in a modelesque way, I hope you appreciate this within the shot.

Sasha Pivovarova as "A" in Pretty Little Liars - "Welcome to the Dollhouse"



This is probably one of the most well-known scenes from the hit TV show Pretty Little Liars (and fun fact, is the highest rated episode of the whole show) and depicts where the main characters have been kidnapped by the mysterious A and forced to have a make-believe prom, where they try to escape.

A, who they are calling Charles at this point (later revealed to be another character, Cece Drake) confronts the girls in the episode wearing an eerie mask and formal attire, while surrounded by mannequins at a fake prom where the girls are being kept hostage.

In my photo I'm portraying Charles/A in this scene. It manages to capture the eeriness and ambiance of the character as well as adding a high-fashion twist to it!

Luka Sabbat ||  ||

So for the fact that I struggled and I really don’t know what to do. Like im struggling bad, and that it’s like almost Christmas now - i decided to like not go for an iconic scene alone.

But moreso the outfits an iconic Christmas character wears in his iconic scenes. Because I struggled and seeing what everyone else has posted above me, I’m a scared person who has struggled.

And rather than not deliver nothing I wanted to deliver something.

Now Kevin is a kid full of a lot of charm and character, and while I, Luka, struggle to show any ounce of personality in my photos I wanted to try and showcase his charm he has to the best I can by showing some expression instead of being my usual dead panned self.

But literally there’s no point in explaining myself further because I’m so literally exhausted from this competition that I don’t want to put more effort into it anymore. It’s not the fault of this competition. It’s mainly Luka and myself. I’m sure others who have used Luka in the past succeeded and done great but i for one, have struggled immensely. It’s not fun portraying a model who gets critiqued for having the same face over and over again, when most of his photos have the same face. And maybe i just lack the technological skills to find said photos that are exemplary- that could very well be true- but I’ve sometimes looked up to an hour for a photo that was a) good quality b) related to the theme and c) was exciting enough to not get critiqued on the same stuff.

So yeah frankly I’m just tired. Luka clearly wasn’t the best model for me, and that’s my fault I guess. Fun fact: Luka is actually either in/or has had a lawsuit against him for being a ‘non-influential’ influencer. Just thought that was iconic.

Anyways this description is all over the place so here’s some gifs of cute kid Kevin







And here’s Luka.-.

Thanks Jerard for this competition and such. But yeah I’m just really exhausted and am so tired of trying to find ‘good’ photos of Luka to present to you guys. You guys deserve a fantastic final 5/6 when the next wave comes through to judge, and instead of having me somehow get by by the skin of my teeth- I want the final 5 to actually be real competitors who have a genuine shot.

Next time if I’m able to be accepted I will try and make sure all 3 models I apply with are ones I want to be instead of just 2 and I get the one I really didn’t want. I’ll make sure I find someone I have fun with as much as I did Miles or Gigi or even the others I didn’t even perform well with.

Anyways I’m going to go enjoy my three day long Christmas plans :D
