Well, I'm scrapping FLOP O METER. I'm just going to give my critiques. Please note, I'm not associated with the judging panel, and all opinions are of my own. #DNTM7 Dimitra ............ Lyanka Tezu Idk girls, it looks a bit awkward to me. The styling is nice, and both of your expressions are strong. Tezu, your fringe looks like a fork and it completely puts me off. The quality of the shot is great though, it's crystal clear and allows us to take in all the micro details. I really love the glow on the skin, but I think if Lyanka had the same subtle glow along her arm, it would have added a lot more defintiion. It's a solid effort but I just needed something else.. you're basically just hugging each other. Oren Torree I mean there is a very clear standout in this photo, to the point where I can tell one person was leading the creativity than the other. Torree, you look amazing, the styling, that slicked back hair and your expression is powerful. Oren, on the other hand... you're absolutely giving side piece, which is a shame. Your expression is nice, but you don't bring anything to the photo. Torree is commanding the photo with attitude and impact, and as a complete image, that imbalance is really off putting. RobbieRIOT Camell22 This is SO good!! Robbie, the expression on your face is SO STRONG, that's the first place I looked. Your eyes are basically cutting straight through the screen.. yes sir. Camell, you look great, the waistcoast leans a tiny bit costumey for me, but for the brief I guess it's expected. The best part about this photo, is that I can tell you both worked together SO well. You're working in synergy, and you both command equal impact, without either of you overshadowing the other. This was so crucial for a duo brief.. really well done!! Honey TommyXx This is very theatrical, but something about the execution feels off. It reads so performative that it actually makes me want to giggle for all the wrong reasons. I really needed to see stronger more grounded facial expressions here.. as a viewer, I just feel disengaged. nothing in the composition is pulling me in, and I don't have a strong positive comment for either models. It's just very netural... cute... simple... fun... I will say though, you utilized the lighting well. Pat Lluckygc This feels deeply intimate, like I'm intruding on something... The flash lighting is cool, the styling is a little boring but it gets the job done, I guess. Ultimately, it's a very safe photo with no a whole lot to write home about. Pat, you look hot, I think you overshadow llucky, who is looking a little basic there. I will say... you both have incredible chemistry and you do look great together. Zee_ caramels I mean.. at this point, you might as well just have submitted seperately. What is the point of being assigned a duo brief, if you're just going to take two completely independent images and slap them together? You both look good individually and the facial expressions are okay, but for me the concept is such a miss. There was endless dynamic directions you could've taken.. and you gave us... this? Very disappointing. Zero chemistry. ......... 1. RobbieRIOT Camell22 2. Oren Torree 3. Lyanka Tezu 4. Pat lluckygc 5. TommyXx Honey 6. Zee_ Caramels ......... 1. RobbieRIOT 2. Torree 3. Lyanka 4.

Again, just my personal opinion. The judges comments matter the most for sure but I do hope my opinions can help you at least in some ways. 🫶 Lyanka & tezu - A unique concept, my interpretation for this photo could be about teamwork or sportsmanship in a model-esque way, which I like. Just one comment though for tezu. I noticed on the hair or clothes wind/motion effect, although is a great idea in photos, sometimes can be overused like in your case which is used for the 3rd straight week. Just don’t use it too much because even without the need for the motion effect could still produce amazing shots like what you did the first 2 weeks. Lyanka on the other hand, it finally showed a different side of you which I like. Just one critique.. I know it’s a hug so it makes sense but make sure to show more of your gorgeous face with intimacy like in your current photo. But other than that, I love the overall photo. I get your story here. Oren & Torree - So editorial, so vintage, and I could see this in a magazine. I love it. I love the photo quality because it doesn’t look like from AI. Your looks screams very high fashion for me. I love the expression for both models. Just one comment for Oren. This is just my opinion. The poses work for both of you but yours stood out just a little less than Torree especially on how you are sitting. It worked on your last week’s shot but I do feel like a different strong pose this week would be a tiny bit better, BUT I still do think it is still a strong shot and again you injected your unique identity there, and your face is FIERCE baby.. Then torree, I love how you pose that shows your strength which is your figure. You standing there looking beat up but still strong. And how you open your legs a bit to give way to Oren but you still stood out a bit more. Very great overall shot! I think this is the best out of the bunch. RobbieRIOT & camell22 - Redemption arc is getting stronger, especially for Robbie. In previous photos, fierce shots were lacking from you. But finally you shown that you can be F-I-E-R-C-E! You’re sitting there like a goddess. So regal, so elegant, and I like it. And camell, I love how you’re more of a support but you stand on your own. This is like the complete opposite of Torree & Oren’s shot where Robbie, the one who’s sitting down, stood out more than camell22. For the looks, I am not overly amazed but still a good cohesive concept. But overall shot is nice! honey & TommyXx - If the instructions were different, I think this would’ve been a very strong shot for me. Cus I like the dramatics of this shot. But if this were to become an editorial shot, I don’t think this is like a strong shot but more of an action film poster and the creativeness is a bit lacking. Honey, I do wish your hair is the same as your makeover because I think it would fit so much with the boxing theme because it’s so edgy and strong, but I get why you change it a bit for this specific photo. And the face, I think I need more from it. Even facing the camera or not, I want to see your presence. For tommy, I love the hair it fits on the theme, but the face, same as honey, I get you’re getting punched here but I also need to see your strong presence. HOWEVER, I do think it’s still a good shot. The dramatic lighting is the best from the bunch IMO. So it’s a conflicting shot to me. Like I would love it if it’s a different instruction, but def not for an editorial photo. Zee_ & caramels - Good comments first. I understood the creativity of this shot. You used a different take on the looks that’s not conventional to the boxing theme, which I totally respect and applaud. Now, for the execution and production, this is the downside for me. Based on this photo, I can tell that there were be a lot of miscommunications because it felt so disconnected. I am not saying that you guys should hug too or be closer. For both masculine models, it could be very hard to conceptualize but I think there are better choices to show more chemistry. But in this shot, sadly, Idon’t see a chemistry whatsoever. Individually, I do see Zee standing out more but still lacking a bit for me especially you’re at the back and sitting on the corner but your face card never declines. For caramels, I know you’re trying your best to create dynamic posing because of the last critiques but make sure to do it with intent and not forcing it. Cus it looked less modeling and more action-ey for me. Overall, unfortunately I think it could’ve been a better shot imo cus I know both of you can do better than this. #dntm7
