#ausntmc5week6

Cassi was really struggling on set and despite her pleas that she tried her hardest on set, the shot shows the complete opposite of it. Her pose is fine, it’s good for a ad like this but there’s zero effort or energy put into it. It looks quite lazy and tired, plus she’s missing an arm. I can like how she’s giving herself some curves from the thick dress though. She does look like Kara C13 on the face but her face has no energy or expression on it, she’s attempting to go for fancy but she looks more dead inside more than anything. Cassi falls back to the weeds once again.

Adele once again got a FCO from me for her best photo to date! It’s a great risk for her to kneel down on the platform she was on but it really elevated the shot for me more! Her face is just stunning here, the come hither in her eyes (which look beautiful by the way) alongside her confident and seductive expression is perfect for this and she caught the light really well! It doesn’t even look like her yet you can recognize it’s her, if you get what I mean by that. Her pose is also genius, she still looks her height and she sold the clothes perfectly alongside the bag in the front so it’s the front view and the first thing you notice about the shot, yet she still stands out. Adele’s FCO was deserved in every way, it’s one of the best shots of the cycle!

I think I liked Tahnee’s shot way too much more than other people. Whatever, I’m known for shitty opinions, look at AsNTM C2. I do know that Tahnee really struggled on set and this was most likely a test photo but hey, I still like it either way. I like the sophistical yet curious look in her face, her profile is also quite stellar! We only really get straight on shots from her so it’s nice to see something different from her. The look downwards from the heavens (nice editing trick from the producers) but the pose overall is quite lackluster compared to Adele or Clare. She did sell the clothes but the profile view of the clothes isn’t the most ideal for a Chanel ad. However, I can like this shot for how different yet unique it is and could see it being a Chanel Ad!

Clare would be a more obvious 2nd choice than Tahnee if it wasn’t for one thing, her eyes. She flicked them too far to the side and she looks possessed as the result of it. Ignoring that, everything else about this shot is great. She obviously has a look for Chanel and it shows here. The fearful yet haughty expression on her face is gorgeous and she’s showcasing everything in a simple yet sophisticated way. The subtle curves around her body along with the way she let the bag move a bit to the side to show it off is nice. Clare bought a simple yet expensive shot that’s pretty useful for this shoot!

It’s nice to see Lola improving so much after her terrible start. Her stoic and confident expression has been executed pretty well for once, her confident glare into the sky is admirable. However, her lips are way too tight and tense around the corner (then again, that’s always been an issue for her). Her simple pose is pretty ok here, with the camera angle, she looks tall and the clothes fit her body perfectly here (she actually has my favorite styling, I kind want that shirt). This is a great improvement for Lola and I’m happy to see her grow more and more after her weak start.

I think if this was a swimmer selling a bag, this could work but for a more high fashion theme, this is one of the worst. Her face does look quite soft but there’s no excitement or energy in her expression. I do like her eyes glaring up. I don’t know why they wanted to capture this from the upper half of her body but either way, she cucked herself with the pose. The way she’s holding up the bag is so half-assed and boring, her arms look stiff and the boring 101 pose has no commitment to it whatsoever. I was sad with Laura M being eliminated but it was her time to go (it should’ve been last week though). She was getting weaker and weaker by the day. 

Franky was doing so well on set so this shot being picked seemed like sabotage on productions’ part. However, this is still a really bad shot. The lift of her shoulder with her arms make her look like a failed robot. It looks like she’s shifting into a pose and was caught in the middle of it. The arms are stiff, the body looks quite rigid due to her looking like she’s out of balance and her face is a mess. It’s blank but at the same time has a laughably expression on it. Her eyes are wonky and dead and the dumbfounded look in her face is laughable. I’m happy Franky was given a second chance though.
