Hello models! It’s time to face your biggest shoot yet, maybe? Anyways, to help us determine who deserves to be in the finale of the Next Top Model 9: Dream Team, you are to face 4 shoots (3 photoshoot and 1 videoshoot).
For your photoshoot, it is connected to your last week’s photoshoot, this time it isn’t yourself to portray, but rather your fellow competitiors. Yes, so basically you will each have to post 3 photos, each corresponds to your competitors. Now here’s the thing, you are allowed to NOT etick with their given brands, you can portray them in your own ways, no need to be feminine or masculine if it requires you to portray a different gender, so provide an explanation in each shoot. Here’s the format of how you’ll submit the photoshoots.
Godfrey shoot:
Liu shoot:
Saskia shoot:
Simon shoot:
Now for your videoshoot, which you are also to submit with the photos, it is now time to do an Advertisement - you are to sell something in your video and still looks like a model. You are to make the viewers buy the product, no minimum time, but make sure it’s not too long or too short.
You have 48 hours to complete the tasks, Goodluck!
Earnest to me means strong, dedicated and showing intense conviction. I think Saskia shows a great amount of conviction and strength through the concept of nudity in modeling. Nudity shows a concept of beauty and strength.
Commercial:
I decided to go with a motion editorial commercial ad, which is a ad with just motion and no talking. She is selling and modeling a new clothing brand in the ad.
Simon's work always feels very slick and almost dapper in a way. I therefore wanted to play to these formal, smooth tones in my shot.

I want to show to you, the judges, that as I model I not only mean business, but I am also humble and proud of my humble beginnings. I am promoting the Cruise 2017/18 Chanel brand.
In that videoshoot, I try to advertise watches. It tells you that you can look good with that watches in every situation like when you driving, in the rain or even just for a walk. But in here I also look like a model
Sex sells and if theres anyone who can sell perfume its Simon ;) . This motion editorial captures Simons every move and of course his beautiful eyes at the end
Simon - I very much agree that Simon’s eyes really draw in the audience. With this shot you managed to do just that while staying high fashioned. I love the styling and you have a captivating face.
Video - Very well done. You were able to show off various watches while continuing to remain looking stylish and sexy.
Saskia:
Godfrey - Overall this is a very strong shot and I love the intensity of it. You look stunning and commanding of attention. The black and white filter enhances that. I think you did a solid portrayal of Godfrey.
Simon - This seems very much in line with Simon’s sex appeal and how he uses his body. You look breathtaking and I love how the gold is really emphasized. Honestly, one of if not the best shot of yours all season!
Video - This was a great video shoot as it showed off various looks. You modeled the clothing well and kept with your own serious and sensual brand.
Simon:
Godfrey - I like the seriousness of this shot and how intense you look. It very much connects with Godfrey and his overall brand.
Video - This is exactly the type of video shoot I expected from you. It’s sexy and purely sensual while also bringing attention to your soulful eyes.
Liu:
Godfrey - Not bad. I love the pose and the styling. It’s simple which fits with Godfrey’s style, but also very strong in facial expression. Very well done.
Simon - This is such a beautiful shot and I love the dress. I like your interpretation of Simon and how you went for something a bit more sensual.
Video - Very well done and I love that you not only showcased the brand, but embraced the everydayness of it. You showed how you can have a chic look for literally any occasion or situation.
Saskia - Basically Godfrey is about stares. You look really fierce in this shot, those eyes are really striking, and when I saw the shot, I did notice your eyes first. Anyways, this would be a stunning photo if you are not portraying anyone, and since you are portraying Godfrey, this just hit the mark, and did not go beyond the mark.
Simon - While, this one is something I would see Godfrey will do. The face here is just everything, the bone structure was present, the stare is just like Godfrey's. The black & white filter just gives it more feels.
Liu - This for me is the weakest out of the three portrayals. I however love the fact that this has something unique to it. Maybe tilt more your head in front and I would love it more, your body positioning was good, but it isn't Godfrey.
