#DNTM4 Overall I liked this week. It felt a bit repetitive to do another street shoot right after last week, but I think lighting was key here and most people got it right. Another week where everyone got to pick their own styling and it really shows who is paying attention to fashion and who is relying on the AI to dress their models. MissMiranda Pose: 7 Face: 7 Styling: 7 Composition: 4 Lets start with the positives. The pose is a bit simple but I like that you didn’t overdo it. It still is dynamic and fits the brief well. The face is good but maybe could have gone with a shocked expression due to spilling the drink. That may have been a bit too camp, but just a thought. The styling isn’t my favorite but I will give points for doing something unique and not color drenching the look. Now to the unfortunate part. This photo could have been a top photo with a reduction of the pink liquid. It makes no sense in the pattern it is in. If you had just had it splash out of the cup it would have made the shot and been really cute. Total: 6.25 Tjamal9106 Pose: 7 Face: 8 Styling: 7 Composition: 7 I like this pose attempt for sure. I do wish we could see a bit more of the back leg, or that the front knee was pointed a bit more to the side, but overall I like it and it stood out. I think the face is great, although given that you had a critique that you looked too old last week, I may have worked those forehead wrinkles out in post. The outfit itself is cute, but the big jacket feels a bit forced this time. Overall it’s a good photo and a great way to bounce back from bottom 2 last week. Total: 7.25 Zee_ Pose: 6 Face: 5 Styling: 7 Composition: 7 The pose is fine, but it is almost too skater and not enough model. The one arm we can see is stick straight, and then the bent one we lose the shape a bit since your shoulder to elbow is hidden behind you. I would have liked to see the front arm bent so your elbow is where your hair and butt are, and then the back arm just pushed away from the body a bit so it’s less hidden. The major issue with the photo is the face. Its giving me more timid vibes and almost fearful like you weren’t that confident on the skates. The styling is fine but probably could have been pushed further, and the composition is probably the same. Not my favorite shot of you this season. Total: 6.25 Marilise Pose: 7 Face: 7 Styling: 7 Composition: 6 With your face/look, your photos end up looking a bit commercial by nature. You have to find ways in shoots like this to make yourself a bit edgier and interesting. The one shoot you wet your hair and slicked it back instantly made you look more high fashion and editorial. For this photo I see a pretty girl but I’m not seeing top model. The pose is a good combination of skater and model, and the expression of the face matches the body language, and the white outfit has cute detailing, but everything combined just leaves me wanting something a bit more exciting. The motion of the shot is something, but I don’t think it was enough to really have this photo stand out. Total: 6.75 Marquis Pose: 7 Face: 7 Styling: 7 Composition: 7 This is a safe entry. Nothing about the photos is bad, but also nothing really jumps out as a major slay. The legs look a bit oddly proportioned here, but I appreciate the effort to make for a model pose. The face is probably the best part of the shot. The styling is a bit on the boring side for this fun shoot, but it is giving Vouge Runway 2027 Spring collection, so I credit you for that. Total: 7.0 LeQuishaQ Pose: 8 Face: 7 Styling: 8 Composition: 9 This is clearly top photo of the week. You can tell the second you look at it. The pose is strong, the styling is a cute combination of modern and retro, and the lighting of this photo is PERFECT. If you had smoothed out some of the AI patterns on the ground (super hard to do) I may have given my first 10. The face is the weakest part of the photo but it is still quite strong. Well done. Total: 8.0 GuiltyAsSin Pose: 8 Face: 7 Styling: 7 Composition: 6 I like the pose although I would have liked to see the back arm bent a little while holding the boom box. The styling isn’t my taste, but I can see the look you were going for, and it works for this shoot. The composition is a bit off because the street proportions, the uniformity of the background ppl, and as someone who lived in LA for 10 years there are some things off about the photo (I didn’t downgrade the score for that but it just feels off for me). It works for the theme, but this isn’t your best work. Total: 7.0 SpaceLab Pose: 6 Face: 6 Styling: 7 Composition: 6 I can see what you were attempting to do here, but the photo sort of falls flat in the execution department. The pose is nearly there, but the angle the photo was taken at then makes you look oddly short, and combined with your choice of ascot you lost your entire neck. The arms also look very stiff. This looks almost identical in styling and background to my gas station photo from last season, but the key elements that made that photo a top photo are missing here (neck, cunty pose, pouty face, accent colors in styling). There are also a bit too many uniform palm trees and the photo could have cropped some of them out to zoom a bit closer to you as the model. Total: 6.25 CupidStunt Pose: 8 Face: 6 Styling: 6 Composition: 7 You had a great idea with the pose and it looks fun and unique. The face could have matched the energy of the photo better, and you may have been better off tilting your head slightly back/to the side to push the pose and face to the next level. The styling doesn’t look that high fashion. You used a luxury brand, but that does not mean the clothes and styling are high fashion or editorial. The overall photo looks good, but it missed the mark in the fine details for me. Total: 6.75 Antog Pose: 8 Face: 5 Styling: 7 Composition: 6 I wish we had a liiiiitle bit of bend to the arms, and that you had your hair flow in the right direction. The hair really distracts from the overall delivery of the photo. The neck is serving which is great, and 2/3 of the pose is wonderful. The face is low because the sunglasses have a glare in them and when you zoom close your eyes are closed. This isn’t a shoot I would want you eyes to be closed in as you need to give off the right expression. The dress is cute but I feel like we have seen it all before which isn’t great. Not a bad shot, but not your best work. Total: 6.5 Fancy: Pose: 7 Face: 7 Styling: 7 Composition: 8 Good pose but the arms could have created a bit better angles, the face is good and I like the eyes looking off to the distance, but it could have been a bit stronger. The styling is cute, and the lighting is divine. You catch the light on your face well despite the sun being behind you. I do wish the background felt a bit less AI processed, but otherwise it looks good. Overall good shot. Total: 7.25 Ranks Quisha 8.0 TJ: 7.25 Fancy: 7.25 Marquis: 7.0 Guilty: 7.0 Marilise: 6.75 Cupid: 6.75 Antog: 6.5 Miranda: 6.25 Zee: 6.25 Space: 6.25 I struggled with the bottom photos as I don't think any are THAT bad, but each of the 3 that are 6.25 scored had the most missing elements for me. It was a hard week to pick.
