emo people

KARASU
I like it. I agree with Bree and Leigh when they say it's subtle. Subtle is not bad though. The outfit is not that 50s glamour, but it's good. It's more like 50s streetwear or something haha. Great job.

KILLIAN
I like the picture, I just don't like the blurriness. Were you trying to use it for dreamy? If so, you didn't have to. Your expression does say dreamy, and I like the angle and everything.

MIKIEL
Mmmm I'm not a fan of this picture. It's too overacted, and I don't even think you got the emotion right. You look confused instead of scared. I think scared would have been an easy thing to do. The outfit's not 50s and what's with the Oscar? Lesus didn't want you guys wearing something from that decade, he wanted something that looked from that decade. Maybe you were trying to go with a story, but it just doesn't work...

AMARANTH
Well, I do like the expression and pose and whatever. You look genuinely happy, and I think the other judges will agree when I say that that's what we wanted. However, I don't really get 50s glamour from this. I think it's the glove. It makes it look gothic more than 50s, to be honest. Other than that, great job.

LAUREN
I don't get shocked from this. It's more like you were flipping your hair and someone took a picture, and this is the result. I also think shocked was one of the easiest emotions to do. You could have exaggerated it a bit more without it looking overacted.

CHANTAL
Great comeback from last week! I do get 50s from your whole look, the make up, hair, and everything. This could have easily looked over dramatic, but I think you knew just how far to take it. Good job!


walking
KARASU
I like it. I like the outfit, the pose makes it look like you really are walking, but yeah the facial expression is a bit vague. I think that if you had the hat on, it would have made it a bit more 50s gangster. I know that wasn't what was asked for, but I'm a gangsta and i like gangsta things.
I don't get the trophies though. Why are they there? Where they necessary? Oh and you posed with your hands in your pockets but in the correct way! You used to do the whole hands, now you're not!

MIKIEL
It's a good picture, but it's just so...boring. Now, I'm glad that you used a different outfit, because this one works a lot more than the one you used for the emotions picture, but it's still not that 50s. The rolled up sleeves are making it worse. I like that you wore suspenders, though. Pose is ok. I don't get the door, though :/

AMARANTH
As a normal picture, this is amazing! As a runway still, it's a bit odd. I think it's the way your body is turned. Your feet are pointing one way, and your upper body is turning in a different way. It's kind of like Amanda's tango picture. The whole outfit, the make up and hair, are awesome. It looks so classy and sophisticated. Great job!

LAuREN
You look like a mannequin. Your expression is vague, and your pose makes you look stiff. You look really pretty and everything, but it just doesn't work :/

CHANTAL
I said it last week, and I'll say it again, I really think you put a lot of thought and effort into your looks. You look great. Your outfit fits into the 50s theme, and at the same time it looks like something that would work today. It reminds me a bit of "I love Lucy". Your expression is soft, and your pose is great. Good job!

KILLIAN
The outfit's great, but the pose and expression aren't. You're leaning back too much and your expression's weird. It would have been better if it was taken from the front and you were just simply walking.

EMOTIONS:

Chantal: I definately see the correct emotion, but not really executed in the right way. Youve made this shoot kitsch and slightly gimmicky, instead of powerful and emotive, so it isnt really effecting me or engaging me to feel what you are feeling. It would be a great shot if it was what we were looking for. I dont think you really understood what we wanted.

Lauren: I dont think you captured the emotion we gave you in any of your shots, and so the only reason I chose this was because I thought it was the only interesting one and I liked the movement. There is very little facial control though, once again, you really havnt improved on that, and that is one of the most important things.

Amaranth: Georgous! This is so natural and genuine. You have an amazing face and smile for beauty and I was waiting for that to be proven, and I think it just has. I think you really nailed it, well done. Im really happy to know that you are continuing to listen and improve and put in all the effort, I am finally starting to see you wanting this.

Karasu- Im really feeling this, I think its very honest and genuine. What I love most about this shot is how relevant it is to the 50s style. And Im not talking so much about the clothes or hair, but more about the character. Men in the 50s were very private with their emotions, and I think you have captured that really well, with the head into the mirror, its much more personal rather than obvious and confronting, which I think is a lot more beautiful, the subtletly. I feel the story.

Mikiel- Im not really feeling this at all. I dont think you captured the emotion very well and its quite overacted, so much to the point that the emotion is confusing and unbelievable. And I dont think holding an award and having the shot in whitescale makes this 50s Hollywood themed either, I think you could have been a lot more creative, and far more accurate with the theme. Not only is the outfit irrelevant to the time and theme, it is also very unflattering and makes your arms look very chunky. You look more like a 90s hobo than a 50s Hollywood star.

RUNWAY:

Chantal: POW! Woooo, love the expression! *waves finger* FIIEEEERCEEE!!! You look a little like a mix between Anna Paquin and a good friend of mine called Ally in this shot *shoutout to ally bo bally wooo!!*

Lauren: Girl you frustrate the shit out of me sometimes. I love your body and your face but you just DONT seem to get this at all. The dress isnt 50s glamour, its more 90s prom. And you just cant seem toi be able to do a serious expression, it always looks like you think this is a ridiculous joke. You really have gotten worse every week, Im sorry to say.

Amaranth: Once again, such a gorgeous shot! The connection with the eyes is amazing. I think your left hand looks very awkward though, its kind of a strange position to be holding the jacket in, especially if you were walking. And Ive gotta say, you really need to take those damn coloured bands off youre wrist if they arent relevant to the theme or to the outfit. I know it seems to be you and Lucy's "thing", but you should never wear your own jewelerry to a photoshoot!!!! Its very distracting.

Mikiel: I dont mind this shot. I think as a shot, it probably isnt that interesting, but I could definately see this as a still from a fashion show, the lighting and the outfit and the expression. You look like youve got a good stride going. And lol at the dorr haha, thats really cool.

Karasu- How suave are you!!! You look like you belong on that runway, woprking for Armani. I do think its a little dead in the eyes though, more connection would have been nice, but as a long shot you can barely tell.

Killian
You have a lovely expression here, but it's difficult to decipher because of the blurriness and the tightness of the frame. We don't really see the fifties style, and you appear to have just let your hair fall at your side. BUT, your expression is very cute, very sensitive, like a young and naive male actor. Not your worst.

Karasu
I'd say it's a bit too on the subtle side, but I would rather see too subtle than too over the top. The mirror is a nice touch - it looks like a dressing room. Body language is great, the way you clutch that hat just makes my heart bleed a little. I think I would just like to see a bit more vulnerability.

Mikiel
It's not horrible, but there's a lot wrong with it. The whitescale really makes it look amateur rather than fifties. Your outfit looks EXACTLY like my grandpa's favourite outfit. And clutching the Oscar is just weird. BUT I like your facial expression. It's very brave to pose face-on like that because we get an idea of how modelesque your features are, with those nice far-apart eyes.

Amaranth
Absolutely beautiful take on the 1950's theme. Everything that you CHOSE (your backdrop, clothes, and ESPECIALLY hair and makeup) is perfection. I'm just not entirely sure about the face. The same thing with closed lips would have been great. It makes your teeth look a bit big. But this is absolutely amazing, to see the girl whom I thought was afrait to not be serious loosen the heck up!

Lauren
This shoot really required some acting, but I think you were trying too hard to get an action shot. I think you should take a que from Amaranth and just sit, figure our your angles, and pose your tail off. This has no charm, no polish, and above all no passion. Sorry girl, I love your personality but I'm SO at a dead end with your pictures.

Chantal
Chantal, Chantal, Chantal, I've emphasized your lack of neck a lot and I do really think it's something that you NEED to pay more attention to. Other than that, this is absolutely rockin' compared to last week, but you need to take advice and listen. You're lucky this works. You've proven that you're not afrait to give an ugly face, but you can't risk losing your pretty.

RUNWAY
Karasu
You're reminding me more and more of Jeraldo every day. I have to say I don't like this picture nearly as much as your sadness picture, but it's still not too bad. The body is confident and suave. I just think the face is a bit too serious with not enough life. You don't have to look "happy" per se, but I would have liked to see you look more awake.

Mikiel
This makes up for that ghastly emotions picture!! I think it looks most like an actual runway still out of everyone in terms of the body. You're still doing your 'stare-into-space' face, but no one has a crazy-fierce-eye-contact face on the runway, so it's not too much of an issue. Hopefully you'll survive the week and work your buns off.

Amaranth
Absolutely glamorous, fabulous, and sly. Amaranth, you've really come leaps and bounds in my eyes, at just about the right stage in the competition. You look like you really know how to walk, and you're working an accessory. At the beginning of the competition I had you pegged as a modern-looking strange-pretty type, but with that milky skin and those hooded eyes, you're actually a total fifties glamour girl. I want an Amaranth collectible doll!

Lauren
Okay, so here's the good: you have such a high-fashion look and body, and I don't think you even REALIZE it. Those long, skinny limbs, the androgynous face... you have constantly shone above your height. The problem is that you just lack any facial confidence at all. We've never once seen you just go "POW!" with the face, and I'm starting to think this was your last chance. You look like you're annoyed, or rather waiting for the shoot to begin. It's so not what we asked for, so graceless.

Chantal
MY-OH-MY! You are WORKING that runway!! Absolutely beautiful, child. This is the Chantal I saw in your dramatic picture. You've got such a timeless beauty, a beautiful slim-but-curvaceous body, and it's all showing here. This picture has knocked my effing socks off.

Killian
Buwahuh? This was your best shot? You look like you're doing some sort of log-jumping dance. I just don't understand. You have zero facial control when you're doing something quirky with your body, so how many shots do you honestly take?? You HAVE to know when you look at this picture, "Man, this looks kind of insane." So why don't you take a few more? You need to learn to relax your face no matter what you do with your body.

Okay, so my separate call-outs be.

No matter how you look at it, Lauren's a gonner, and should be a gonner.

*note* I am making a video of my comments! I'm editing it right now. Hopefully I'll finish and everything before panel is up, but even if I don't I'll post it after!! I wanna be the new Ballard.

Much as I don't think Amaranth did the VERY best in each set, she still performed the best overall and I hope she gets her second first call-out in a row. She's really bringing it now.

Emotion pictures
Karasu- You picked the perfect spot to portray your emotion! I love the mirror reflection, you can tell you put some thought into this picture. While I think that the scenery is good I think you could have pushed yourself a little farther with your emotion. I don't really feel sad, and I in no way see crying. It's a decent picture of you no doubt, just a tad boring.

Mikiel- You don't look so scared so much as you do greasy. Jeez dude, you look like you just ran a mile! Your expression makes me wonder what you were thinking! You don't look very scared, and I don't get what your holding. All in all I just don't get this shot at all! To much is going on and at this stage of the game you can't be making these mistakes.

Killian- While I think the photo is a little to blurry for my liking I do get the impression that you purposely did so to add to the dreamy appearance. Overall, its just ... blah, and there is nothing really to it.

Amaranth- I think that this is way to forced for my liking. You can tell your trying to put on an act, the hand says it all. Its to fake and while I like you, I think this is definitely one of your weakest shots.

Lauren- Chantal I said your picture was the worst, no, no, THIS is the WORST photo of this cycle so far. You don't looked so much shocked as you do in a daze or drunk, even high for that matter, I'm sorry I don't get it AT ALL. I liked you from the very beginning so I find it very disappointing to see you doing this bad!

Chantal- Whereas Amaranth seemed to fake with the happy, I think it works here for your angry. I like the choice of adding the extra props, and I get the story you are trying to tell in the photo, you and Karasu are the 2 standouts in this competition thus far keep it up.

Runway
Karasu- I would stand up and applaud you for this had this been an actual judging! Its great! Very fashion-y of you. I like the fact that the picture was taken almost in- motion and that you actually wore mens formal attire, even when your pictures are bad you still put a lot of effort into them and that's very commendable of you. You are probably the biggest threat to everyone in the competition and you stand the best chance of winning at this point.

Mikiel- Eh, I'm not sold on this photo. At this point in the competition real competitors begin to emerge, and to be honest, I once thought you could make it to the Final 3, even Final 2, I think with your photos the past few weeks you have fallen to the back, your forgettable now, try and fix that- PLEASE!!!

Amaranth- Great choice of scenery I love that, but now for the negatives... I think the negative is your body language in the photo. I think you could have done so much more than just merely hold the jacket. While I give you kudos for standing outside in the freezing cold, I will say you are giving a stank face if I have ever seen one. You let the scenery overpower you, and its a disappointing photo.

Lauren- If I could I would hit you upside the head for this weeks photos. They are so, how can I put this, bad. I can't believe this is the same girl from Week 1! Everything from your posture down to your face screams "I don't care!"

Chantal- Love this photo. You are gorgeous, and you give an early pin- up vibe and I am totally digging that. I really like this photo and I am glad to see you make major improvements this week.

Killian- I'm sorry, but once again, I just can't like this photo. You tried to make it edgy by going way right, but the overall product is just unexciting. There is so much going on with the scenery that to be honest my eyes don't directly draw to you. Plus with your mouth hanging open like that it kinda looks like something fell out of your mouth or you just spit or something. Honestly Killian this is not your best.

Emotion shots:

Killian: Oh no you're blurry again! Ugh. It's not a bad facial shot, it's probably a pretty good expression from what I can see, it's just not very model-y to have your face blurred out. It MIGHT be 50's, i don't know, cuz all I can see of your outfit is a collar and I can't see your hair at all.

Karasu: I really like this picture, it definitely makes me feel sad, but not because it's bad or anything. You look like you just got broken up with or something, you poor thing! And the composition is great too. So following the brief: A-plus, Making a good shot: A-plus! Love the little Marlon Brando curl in your hair too.

Mikiel: Ehhhhhh...mrfffff...not really...Idk... I was worried that you were the one that was going to look really fake, and unfortunately you proved me right. Fear is such a raw emotion, you had so many options! You could be getting attacked, or see a ghost, but instead you just look upset someone called Oscar a fatty. It doesn't look real, and unlike most of your pictures it doesn't even look like you're trying to be real. Next week you need to prove to us that you can do more than be a really good imitator.

Amaranth: Very happy, honest emotion in the face. The umbrella (?) and the hair and makeup and glove are very hollywood as well. I'm not QUITE so sure about the shirt, but I love the elegance of your fingers. Well done!

Lauren: Well, you always have such energy in your shots, and sometimes it works for you. This week, though, I think it pulled you back. Your face doesn't really fit the brief, also you let your mouth and eyes go loose in the motion. Your outfit is almost Hollywood, but you should have worn your hair up.

Chantal: I love the pose, you remind me of Norma Desmond! There is real anger in your eyes, but I think the snarl of the teeth is too much and makes this emotion look slightly contrived. The hair/outfit are great though.

Runway:
Karasu: I actually really like this shot. It's verrrrry sexy (rolls r's). Again, very Marlon Brando, slinky panther, sleek Euro-rich look. The set is a little weird, content-wise, but it doesn't necessarily look BAD. I appreciate that you threw up a sheet for your background to give it a different color, that shows a really good eye. Speaking of eyes, yours are a little soft here. Too much bedroom eye can sometimes lead to bad things...

Mikiel: Yeah, I don't really like the door idea. It isn't believable as a runway because it's too short. You do look like you're walking, but I wish you hadn't stuffed your fingers in your pocket like that. The outfit is great, but I wish you would've looked down into the camera. You look slightly arrogant in this shot.

Amaranth: This would have been perfect for the wobbly runway shoot, you look like you're going to fall into the snow! It's very elegant and classy, I love the shape of your arm and the expression on your face. My one critique for you (and almost everyone else, listen up models) would be that you don't look like you're actually walking. Tsk tsk. But the whole finished package is very impressive.

Lauren: You're definitely giving us awkward-sexy model here, but in no way is this 50s. It reminds me of the 70s, though I'm not sure why. The face and eyes are a little bit more engaged than your shocked pic, but you still look very uncomfortable. You need to get more used to being in front of the camera, because we asked you for a straight-on angle and you did it, but your eyes are screaming in the other direction.

Chantal: You remind me more and more of Audrey (Helena) every week, because you both have a sophisticated-lady quality. Your presence in this shot is very confidant and fashionable, but I think a straight-on or downward angle would help in making your body look a little longer.

Killian: What happened to your photographer? It's almost as if you are trying to get back into frame. The DOOR has a better presence in this photo than you do! Your leg has escaped, and you look as if you're about to take the biggest lunge of a step there ever was on a runway. We compliment your face a lot, but here you've lost control and left your mouth hanging open and your eyes spacing into the flash. More confidence is needed, please!

Heh heh Cozy, your last comment sounds soooo horny. Cozy = SECRET SEX FIEND!!

hey i resent that you think its a SECRET
heh heh

Hi!

I'm really sorry, guys. And I also have to go now. I will submit critiques this week and explain everything soon!

<3

is that really lauren's best shocked picture?

haha unfortunately yes

the rest were all her looking off to the side with her hand on her chest and her jaw just hanging open, dull eyes

she really just DIDNT get it

can you post them?
maybe the over dramatic pose would be better than this :/

i see chantal or karasu in the top this week.

Like I said, i dont think she looks shocked in ANY of them

the last two look shocked :/

IOJASOFDF I WANNA HIT SOMETHING.
i wrote everything and did my call out, and accidentally clicked on something else, and now everything's gone
ughh

ugh i did that once!!!

and when i clicked back, it was gone!!

thats why i copy mine before posting just incase i press the wrong thing LOL

and let me know everyone if you think a diff picture should be chosen for lauren, but i honestly dont think she looks shocked in those last 2 at all

it looks more like bitchy "im so sexy how great am i" popular girl type look

i dunno

It's too fake.
She may not realize it but she's totally mocking the competition. I commend someone like Amaranth for stepping outside her comfort zone, wheras Lauren really has no idea HOW to model, and has gotten by on personality/hilarity the first few weeks and then coasted from there.

she does look fake, but she looks more shocked, no matter how fake, than the one you chose :/

now i know. i'll always copy whatever i'm doing.

Sorry about not doing jury duty this week. But I agree with the elimination. Though, I do think Lauren has leagues more potential than Killian, she was getting worse while he is slowly improving. Hes still no where NEAR the level of the other 4 though. Killian = Marlie.
