DNTM Cycle 3 Episode 1 Critiques

I adored this photoshoot and wanted to give my thoughts on all of the photos. The backdrop being a carousel really makes everything look so cohesive and organized. More concepts like this!! dimitra #dntm3 RobbieRiot Critique: I'm obsessed with the styling here, you look really powerful and majestic. You have the body and you know how to work it. The legs crossed with the arm stretched is sexy af. My only problem is.....did she come to set in a bad mood? It's looking really dead in the face, as if she's pissed off with the photographer or is running on 3 hours of sleep. Make sure to emote through the face luvvy. Overall, this is one of my favorites. 8.7/10 muribolt Critique: This is all around stunning I have to say. You serve sex on a platter, but you're gonna need to watch the hooch. It works here, but it has potential to get a little x rated in the future. The mug is locked in and could bring men to their knees, the body bend is so severe. Even the horse knows she's carrying the baddest bitch on board. No further notes miss muribolt. 10/10 goomybear Critique: This shot is very wide-angled and it makes it a little difficult to comprehend. Plus we know black is a harsh color and can sometimes make it hard to see detail. The face is naturally strong, but I don't feel like you're aware of the camera here. It almost looks like someone on-set was trying to give you a pep talk and you got caught in am semi-unflattering candid moment. I do see a lot of potential here, but it's not the strongest shot. Remember, photo quality itself matters too! 6.4/10 sexytex Critique: LOL I love this you can tell she has tons of personality alongside being a baddie. This girl could do high fashion or catalogue and I think that versatility is dangerous. She looks phenomenal, I really don't have anything bad to say. 10/10 Sam Critique: LMFAOOOOOOO SAM???? I think your biggest challenge here is going to be taking your model more seriously. I mean...this is a bit too comedic for a model shoot. The body angle is awkward and stiff, I don't get why he's laying across the horse like a plank at all. it looks unnatural and like he was trying to be goofy for his friends. I can't tell if he's laying on the horse or floating in mid-air. It's a human flag pole. HOWEVER, the face was locked in and this man is sexy af! There's potential and I appreciate your willingness to step outside the box a bit. I'd like to see more. Hope you stay! 5.5/10 dailyicon Critique: I really am not a fan of the wet look, especially when the shoot does not call for it. I mean...he's riding a carousel with the wind blowing, why would he be dripping in sweat? This is really great though, don't get it twisted. I mean you nailed the pose, it looks like he's Prince Charming and he has 3 ladies swooning over him in the waiting line and he's longing for one of them. Another observation, the wonky eye. I understand he may be winking, but I don't feel like that type of playfulness works well in a still moment. It might be cute irl in motion, but in a photo it reads as wonky and cheesy. Keep it cleaner and you'll be fine. 8.5/10 camell22 Critique: First thing I notice is...it's a little low energy and lacks that POP BANG POW that transitions a photo from good to great. I mean...it's not a bad photo. it's just boring. He comes across bored or like he's dissociating. Also THE NECK. You cannot lose the neck, especially in a shot like this where you aren't contorting or doing anything unnatural. It will boost your confidence a ton and you will appear more sure of yourself if you fix the posture and stretch yourself. I'm not really seeing much personality either. We can do better, but it's not the worst. Depends what the judges are looking for. 6/10 bosslady Critique: Bosslady.....you look amazing! It is a striking photo. If I hadn't known any better, I'd think you had already been modeling for a decade. I think when it comes to the makeover and maybe you can fix this on your own....we need to work on the age factor. She's clearly an older woman and I worry about her expiration date in the industry. I think chopping her hair is the right way. The face is so strong already, the hair does not need to overpower it. Great job otherwise! 9.5/10 tayvie Critique: I think of all the men. you're the one who really understood the assignment. It's a polished shot, the angle is flattering and interesting, he looks like a badass. HOWEVER, please do not forget to smize. The eyes are dead and it's taking the photo in a more gloomy/awkward direction. And with the neck, tilting your chin up I think would have cemented this as top of the pack. It's still really good!! 8.8/10 lewis Critique: I'm confused. It's a really, really odd shot. The face is striking and I'm impressed that while spinning so fast, you were able to keep the face under control. The face is impeccable. The concern here is the body positioning I think. the right hand is unnecessarily limp as if he's trying to signal that he's gay. Babe, we already knew that. You don't need to single, joey jay. I don't understand why he's flying, does he have wings? Be sure in the photo everything is present a clear, so we can understand the storyline if there is one. This is not the worst by any means! 7/10 hare Critique: I'm not compelled by this picture much, but I can acknowledge it's strong. Especially in the face. He's a very pretty boy, but I think we need to work on the stiffness and on finding a way to capture that WOW factor. Right now it's not giving me much to remember. How can you separate yourself from the competition? 6.8/10 torimarie Critique: My main problem looking at this photo is the pose is very "in your face". You don't want your model to come across staged and unnatural. I really wish the hand was off the hip and the other hand was on the pole. The leg is PERFECTION, the face is killer. Neck is LOOOONGGGG bitch you shoulda been riding a giraffe too!! This is a good photo, you just need your movements to flow more buttery. 8/10 tisha Critique: Tisha this blew me away and has been living in my rent free since it was posted. The windography is working in your favor, the bend back with the leg up was a WOW moment. It almost looks like you're galloping with the horse. Looking at the picture just energizes you, it makes you want to conquer the world. Also to the boys, do you see how Tisha stuck her arm out here but was simultaneously still aware of the camera and you can tell the arm has a purpose in and of itself as opposed to her reaching out to grab someone in the audience. it's like she's dancing on the horse, feeling the wind in her hair. Gorgeous job Tisha. 10/10 honey Critique: I really really like this honey. It took me a moment, but once it clicked I realized it's brilliance. She's a total bombshell, everything is on point from the hair to the face to the leg to the pointed toe. Great job! 10/10 poof Critique: This is fabulous!! BY FAR the best male shot of the night. It just works. The aesthetic is there, the foot movement is interesting, the way he's leaning takes my breath away. Again, I really have nothing bad to say. 10/10 glitter Critique: I'm dying irl this is a very realist approach. I get it because this is how I interpreted the competition on my first photoshoot. I think compared to some of the other girls, it's lackluster. She looks kinda miserable and I don't think she's working her angles. She could have shifted a bit towards the right to reveal more of the dress and to give more body. I think it looks pedestrian, but still not necessarily the worst. I wanna see what you're made of, and maybe give this girl next door some more OOMPH in her makeover. 5.8/10 thiii Critique: Another very polished photo. This to me is one of the best neck up shots of the night. The posture is phenomenal, the hair is doing exactly what it needs to do, and even though the hand is on her hip, it comes across more natural and was so subtle I almost didn't catch it. Still not highly recommended, but it works. It's so strong of a picture, I think you may be the dark horse of the season. 9.3/10 seong Critique: Lastly Mr Seong. HOLY SHIT *claps* This is such a gorgeous man. It's fabulous, he looks like he is the ringleader of a cowboy motorcycle gang and is at the carnival to smoke a lot of pot and intimidate everyone. Also like he may or may not have a gun is his jacket ready to fuck up someone who owes him money. It's just a striking photo, the vibe is there, he exudes swag. 10/10 No promises I will do this every photoshoot, but I was inspired here. This would be my callout order: 1. Tisha 2. Muribolt 3. Poof 4. Seong 5. SexyTex 6. Honey 7. Thiii 8. BossLady 9. RobbieRiot 10. Tayvie 11. DailyIcon 12. Torimarie 13. Lewis 14. Hare 15. Goomybear 16. Glitter 17. Sam
