Judging Panel #5!!!

Hello Final 7! Welcome to your 6th Judging Panel!

This week, you were given just three days to complete your shoot, a futuristic robot shot which focused on angles and strong faces. Some of you rose to the challenge, while others caved under the pressure. This week, we have a guest judge with us…Please welcome…





MILLA J JOE! 3rd runner up of Cycle 1, someone who was very enthusiastic about judging you today, and boy did it show in his critiques!! He may as well have written a frickin book!
“YO WHAT'S UP BITCHESSSSS I'M YO JUUUUDGE!

that's all.”


Lets start with Amaranth


Andy: I love the pose EXCEPT for your arched leg- you should have crossed them so as not to give the appearance that your foot is slightly cut off. You are giving a fierce face, and I FEEL the robot in you! Best of the week hands down.
Cozy: Shiny! I agree that you've definitely got something new behind your eyes this week, but too much pout in the lips. you've managed to keep it very fashionable - I love the outfit, environment, and makeup, but it doesn't really register as obviously robotic. A little more stiffness in the limbs and back would have done it
Milla-Joe: BAM! Perfect headshot! Intense eyes, fantastic makeup and costume designing, the shot works really well. Your pose is great and I can see the inspiration you drew from the BrNTM shoot, but the shot really doesn't scream "robot" to me...it's definitely a great pose, but nothing too overtly 'robot' about it. It's sexy and intense and the costume is perfect, but I just don't see a "robot". That's not to say it's not a great shot because it is. It works as a long shot and as a headshot. I think you're the one in this competition who people underestimate...all of your shots have been pretty much consistently good. I think you're really trying and it really shows.
Firebolt: Love this shot. The face, outfit, and pose all work really well! I have to admit, I haven't been as impressed with you as some of the other judges, but this is my favorite photo from you so far. Futuristic indeed
MrJanice: This is so "80's idea of futuristic". I love it! The outfit's great, the makeup's awesome, hair's wicked. The only negative thing is that the whole pose works, but it's not as robotic. Great job though
Bree: I actually DO get robot from this. You didn't take it too literally, but sometimes taking something too literally doesn't come off fashion-y anyway. All I could ask for is a bit more neck extension. The body's kickin', and for the first time in the competition, I see it (nothing specific, just "it") in your face!!
SweetTyra: I think this is your best shot so far. It is so powerful and sexy and alluring. I would liked it to have been more robotic though, the poses werent that interesting. Did you choose your own photos this week? This was soemthing I was going to ask you, becausde Lucy is usually the one to send in the pictures for you and it makes me wonder whether you are sitting there next to her or not and whether she just takes control. Either way, the choice this week was great.


KARASU:


SweetTyra: I loved what you did with your arms and legs, very jolted and angular which was great. Im unsure about the face though, you dont seem very present, and it was this way for almost all of your shots. Kind of blank, which is a massive step back from last week, where you had so much power in your eyes. The puffy jacket was a bad choice also, it made your torso look very large in a number of your shots.
Andy: Its edgy and unique. I like the pose, but the background appears to give you an awkward hat. Good effort this week, you have really stepped up your game and shown improvement through the weeks
Cozy: I love the pose! and environment, except for that mess behind your head. It's distracting and reminds me of your frame shot. I love your use of face paint, but your look needs more consistency. I think it would have been better to go with a tighter, plainer top rather than choose that jacket for its shinyness. I like your face, but be more careful when editing out red-eye because you've given yourself gray, smudgie pupils
Milla-Joe: Um, I'm pretty sure this shot is amazing. Like, fantastically amazing. You perfeclty nailed what I was expecting from the shoot...your pose is fashionable yet reminds me of something a robot would actually do. Your outfit isn't too over-the-top and is perfectly futuristic while not overbearing and it doesn't totally encompass what you're trying to do. You shine through the outfit and the perfect setting and the face works as a headshot and a full-body shot. Your face looks dull and vacant like a robot's, but I can tell that you're really modeling. It has that deadness that a robot's face would have, but it's a totally high-fashion interpretation of what a robot should look like if it were modeling. Great work
Firebolt: Another great photo from you. Again, confession time, at the beginning, I thought you'd be an early-mid boot, but you are climbing up the ranks fast! That face is killer, I love the jacket (looks very future-y), and the pose and angle are awesome too
Bree: This picture is creative, but it almost looks cartoony, like you're parodying the concept instead of portraying it. You've given us so many amazing pictures, but this one doesn't seem like ream modeling, it just seems like play-modeling. There's no passion behind the eyes, you actually look a bit confused/constipated.
Mrjanice: Now you keep getting better and better each week. I like that the eyes are vacant, because it somehow works with the theme. Your pose is robotic, without being stiff. The whole look is great, and your choice of background is good. Great job

Finalllly, Amaranth nailed it. About time!

congrats Am and Karasu. both of you did great!

Both of your shots are wicked good! Well done!

haha i knew amaranth would get first call out due to what bree said

Great photo Amaranth!!! Your shot would have been great too Karasu, except that jacket was really awkward and kind of took away from the overall look
