This week, Dimitra challenged the models to strip back for a high-end, editorial beauty campaign. I have to say, this was an incredibly tough week to critique because everyone came to play. The stands was through the roof, and quite frankly, even the models sitting at the bottom of my rankings delivered work that would not normally deserve this.. Well done all! #DNTM4 As always, all opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👢 The Biggest Flops (7 - 10) 👢 ⛔️ EMPTY - For a week with such a technically demanding brief, having the Biggest Flops category is great to see. You all survived the Flop O Meter! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ⚖️ The Medium Flops (3 - 6.9) ⚖️ SpaceLab - Flop Rating 3 Your skin looks great. I'm not a fan of one hand having painted nails and the other hand not having black painted nails - that doesn't make sense to me. I think you could've used more of the roses, the brief called to be floating around roses and I only see four roses, and one of them you are holding. The face is very good though. This reminds me of an aftershave/perfume billboard. Good efforts, but a few things could've been tweaked to stand out from this very good week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌟 THE SAFE ZONE (Flop Rating: 0 - 2.9) 🌟 Marilise - Flop Rating 1.9 This is a clean photo. I think I would've liked to have seen more texture to your skin; the brief called for luxury lighting and this is a bit of a simple use of lighting. You really could have played with the lighting to show just how perfect your skin is. The rose petals are placed wonderfully - I like how you put the closer petals to the camera out of focus so the viewers are not distracted. And I love the way you're half in the water with some of the hair wet. It's a beautiful photo, but much like a few of them, there isn't a standout moment for me. Antog - Flop Rating 1.8 I think this is a really good effort. I enjoy the water reflecting onto your face, that must've been hard to pull off with AI. I think it's a bit on the nose to have the blue hair matching the rose petals; it would've been great to play with colours a bit more to stand out. I'm not understanding the one white petal, but I see the editorial route you are going down. The face looks flawless with glossy lips, really good! Zee_ - Flop Rating 1.7 I think this is great, the glossy lips and subtle make up, alongside the luxurious lighting really work here. The use of petals is just enough without taking over the show. Your face is definetly the main focus, which is what the brief asked for. I love the wet skin and strands of wet hair. If I'm being honest, it doesn't entirely stand out to me with the rest of the photos but this is a good photo. CupidStunt - Flop Rating 1.6 This is gorgeous. The eyes are so piercing, and cleverly matched with the roses. It's the perfect amount of roses without being overbearing. The face card really is beautiful and you look stunning. I personally would've enjoyed to see more natural beauty from your model. I think this brief was about showing flawless skin and glossy lips whilst having luxurious lighting. I would have used these together: you didn't need heavy make up to show beautiful skin when you have lighting! I also would've loved to have seen your hair a bit more, as it blends a lot with the background. Well done though, really good. GuiltyAsSin - Flop Rating 1.2 I love this, well done. The lighting in this shot screams high end luxury, and the makeup application is beautiful. While I do think the brief ultimately calls for a more natural stripped-back approach to highlight clear skin and glossy lips, you still delivered a striking image. It just would have been great to see a little more of that effortless, bare-skinned vulnerability from your model. That being said, the wet hair texture looks fantastic, the hand placements are totally elegant, and you look beautiful well done! LeQuishaQ - Flop Rating 0.7 Chefs kiss. Once again you have delivered a fantastic photograph. Your skin is radiantly glowing, and your lips are glossy as can be. The hand placements feel incredibly natural and graceful, and I love tht your manicured nails perfectly match the tone of the rose petals. The composition does lean a bit on the crowded side with the overwhelming amount of flowers, but because your face card is so strong, you mange to remain the focus of the shot. The hair is gorgeously styled and the lighting is excellent. Marquis - Flop Rating 0.3 This is brilliant - easily some of your best work in this entire competition. I am so incredibly happy to see you improving week by week and applying the judges feedback. Instead of just scattering the petals in water and calling it a day, you woven them into your syling to tell a story. And we must discuss this face card, it is lethal and stunning. The lighting is masterfully executed, creating beautiful shadows that show your flawless skin and glossy lips. If I had one minor critique, I would have loved to see your shoulders submerged a bit more to complete the bath illusion. But honestly, really well done. Fancy - Flop Rating 0.2 Fancy, I really REALLY love this. Much like Marquis, you didn't just passively lie in the water, you took the roses and gave them a real narrative purpose by styling them into high fashion crown of thorns. Your skin look clear and those chiseled cheekbones are a dream under this lighting. I especially love how the water creates wet sheen on your hands, catching the light and adding texture to the overall image. There is truly nothing wrong with this photo. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 7 Leaderboard 1. Fancy 2. Marquis 3. LeQuisha 4. GuiltyAsSin 5.
