Daniel Tracz

Place: 4th Place

Average: 3.8

Daniel having the highest average out of a cycle of inconsistent models just make sense to me. It’s odd but I don’t know who my final 3 would be in the cycle. All I know is that Daniel would obviously be in it but I don’t know who else would. Everyone was just so crazily inconsistent or bad (like Adam :)). Daniel stood out to me as a consistently good model despite his age and inexperience. At first I didn’t really notice Daniel but once he got the blonde makeover with the bleached eyebrows, my eyes were on him the entire time. He had a very strong personality in a good way, he was willing to defend himself and kept his ground up, especially to people like Adam who were actively attacking him (although he did come off as very strong in a bad way, always talking and speaking out of his mind, then again, he was 18). If I can describe Daniel during the shot, his low points can be considered good and his best shots are the ones where he uglies it up. His first 3 photos were pretty ok, they had room for improvement but they showed a major flaw of Daniel, he just didn’t look the best when he tried to look normal and pretty. He obviously looked hot but when he smiled or tried something flirty, he looked like a pornstar or actor rather than a model. This shows in his worst shots, like the nude and Masterchef shot, where both came off as unmemorable. However, the rest of his portfolio was quite stellar despite those downfalls. From police shoot onwards, he made some of the best shots of the cycle. I love his natural beauty, it’s a great showcase of how much he’s changed over the cycle and the dramatic is just as stellar. He did struggle a bit when in Madrid but he still did the best he could, especially in go-sees where he and Natalia were one of the worst. Daniel was able to improve a lot when it came to modeling skills. He struggled a lot with looking pretty and normal but as time went on, he figured out his niche about uglying things up and with that, he found his style pretty fast. However, it’s good to note that Daniel was able to adapt to the most pretty outcomes like the natural beauty and showed that he can nail commercial shots like that. It’s hard to place if I wanted Daniel as my winner or not. He was one of the most consistent models of the group alongside the one who was mostly improving. His walk got a lot better as time went on and despite his weak go-sees performance, he was one of the most successful models after the show alongside Natalia and Mat M (funny enough, they were the ones deemed with the least potential by the judges). However, he was really immature and as a winner, I would consider him as one of the weakest. Then again, he didn’t have much competition and he did get the most FCOs out of the group and never left my top 8. It’s odd, he would probably be my winner but he would be one of the weakest winners in Poland (still pretty strong obviously, it is Poland). It’s a love and hate relationship if that makes sense. However, after some thinking, Daniel would be the most reasonable choice to be the winner due to his consistent  performance in a cycle full of inconsistent performances. Still, I wish he made it to the finale alongside Natalia and he made some of my favorite shots of the series so good on him, he’s definitely robbed.
