DNTM4 Photoshoot 2 Review

#DNTM4 This week the scores are all super close because to me nearly every photo looked the same with the same pose. It wasn’t a bad pose, but it really made me crave creativity and so I scored those who took chances a bit better because they stood out in the pack. None of the photos really made me say WOW, but they were all pretty well done. MissMiranda Pose: 6 Face: 7 Styling: 6 Photo Composition: 7 The photo is good as a standalone, but as I look at all the photos this pose comes up so many times it just can’t be scored super high. Your face is good and I oddly like the hand. I enjoy the open window helping with the story, but the photo composition score got docked a little bit because of the finish having all of the AI bulbs on it. When you get you final photo, ask it to smooth out the textures for you. Total: 6.5 tjamal9106 Pose: 6 Face: 7 Styling: 7 Photo Composition: 6 Same comment about the pose situation. Good face but I do think this was the same exact look as last week so be careful of that. I do like the styling overall (white on your skin will always be a great choice) but the whole photo feels a bit obvious to me. The composition score was lowered due to the AI meshing all of the styling choices (the outfit, jacket, wall, balloons) all have the same two colors and although it lends itself to a cohesive look, it is also contributing to the obvious nature of the photo where nothing really stands out. Total: 6.5 manon Pose: 6 Face: 5 Styling: 8 Photo Composition: 8 I like that you tried to do something slightly different with the pose with the angle of it, but your hip ends up looking a little wonky so I kept it at a 6 with everyone else. The face I think doesn’t match the look. The eye makeup being so dark just doesn’t match and the overall face ends up looking a bit amateur glam. I love the choices of colors and mixing in a few different colors so it still looks cohesive but not AI color drenched. I would have scored the styling higher with a better shoe. A clear shoe with black eyes? Overall a better photo than last week though! 6.75 Vanili Pose: 6 Face: 5 Styling: 7 Photo Composition: 6 Again same pose so same score, although you did give us some great neck so I was tempted to give this a 7. The face is not giving any emotion though so be careful of that. I do like you went a different route with the styling and although the balloons look a bit too much like grapes (giving me a little PTSD from my grape photoshoot) I do like that it stands out. I do wish their orientation was a bit more balanced though. You are grabbing them all on the left and the ones on the right seem not part of the bunch you are holding. Total: 6.0 Zee_ Pose: 6 Face: 7 Styling: 6 Photo Composition: 8 This by itself is a great photo, but a couple of the elements I scored lower due to a lack of creativity. This pose is not only similar to everyone else this week, but also similar to your pose last week. Your styling is also very similar to last week. I like the soft look in the face but wish your eyes would have been open and found a way to give us this same softness with your eyes. I do like that you aren’t holding the balloons and instead they are tied around you so that really helped the overall composition score. The shadows are also good. Total: 6.75 Amandasings04 Pose: 6 Face: 8 Styling: 7 Photo Composition: 8 Pose is same as nearly all so same score. The styling matches the theme well and has some high fashion elements to it, but overall just wasn’t super impactful to me. I like the elements you added to make the photo have a uniqueness to it. It does feel very editorial despite almost crossing into Coke commercial. Overall good job! Total: 7.25 Marilise Pose: 6 Face: 7 Styling: 7 Photo Composition: 8 It’s a good entry. But among the pack of photos it has too many similar elements to really stand out. The lighting is great, and the choice of colors is strong and I like that you didn’t color drench this time. I think if you had given a unique pose this could have had top photo potential because the composition is most editorial. Watch the texture on the balloons a bit (I’m sure that was a nightmare with AI). Total: 7 Marquis Pose: 6 Face: 4 Styling: 7 Photo Composition: 6 I wanted to give this photo a higher score on the pose since it is at least different, but it is different in a worse way. I don’t think the eyes closed with this simple pose works because it all looks a bit dull when combined. If instead you were giving us some eye contact to help the story along, this could have all worked. I like the outfit as a whole, but I scored the composition lower since the clouds took on the same colors as the outfit. Total: 5.75 Fireflyyy Pose: 6 Face: 6 Styling: 5 Photo Composition: 8 Same pose same score. Face is not really matching the overall image to me. I have to say this look is basically your same look from last week but gold, and it got really AI bulby on you. This happens with lots of edits so you want to smooth that back out at the end. I do LOVE the hot air balloon concept it really helps your photo because it stands out at least for that positive. Total: 6.25 LeQuishaQ Pose: 6 Face: 6 Styling: 6 Photo Composition: 6 Ok I loved your entry last week, but this is a miss for me this week because you gave us the same dark lighting in a shoot that could have been about a softer side of you. The styling isn’t super high fashion although it is creative. Honestly if this was a day time shoot with everything else the same I think that would have been much much better. All of the details would stand out more and things would flow better I think. Total: 6.0 GuiltyAsSin Pose: 6 Face: 8 Styling: 6 Photo Composition: 5 Same pose. Great face. You really know how to model with your face and actually given that your pose was simple last week this is nice to see, it just looks like every other pose. The styling being all black in a dark room does you no favors since we can’t see the details as well. I do love the shoulders on the dress it is a very high fashion element. The composition is weak due to the lighting and the lack of clarity as to where you are. It also makes the balloons not stand out as much. Total: 6.25 Melanie Pose: 6 Face: 5 Styling: 6 Photo Composition: 7 Ok the pose is the same as everyone else’s, although of the one leg bent poses this is the most interesting. Unfortunately, two weeks in a row you have an issue with your arms/hands. They look way too long and because they are both straight and have a black glove that goes all the way up it just makes the proportions look a bit off. The dress is fine, but then the darkness of the photo makes it a bit unclear where the dress ends. You have great contrast on your face and I love the high fashion halo look behind you, but I wish there was some of that going on with the dress. Total: 6.0 SpaceLab Pose: 6 Face: 5 Styling: 6 Photo Composition: 7 Same pose again, and the face is lacking emotion. The styling is good and I like the concept overall, but the jacket blends into the flowy fabric and I wish there was more clear definition there. The rest of the composition is good though. More high fashion than last week though so moving in the right direction! Total: 6.0 CupidStunt Pose: 8 Face: 8 Styling: 7 Photo Composition: 8 I like that you did something different with the pose. Although I don’t like the crotch focus, I forgive it because it’s finally something different. The face is gorgeous. The styling is a bit meh for me but overall with the photo theme it works. It’s just something we have seen so much of. Still I’m thinking this is the best photo this week for sure. Total: 7.75 Antog Pose: 6 Face: 6 Styling: 6 Photo Composition: 8 Pose face and styling are all just a bit safe. The overall photo works because you elevated the theme with the story you are telling. The other elements all needed a bit of something extra to really elevate this though. Total: 6.5 Fancy Pose: 7 Face: 7 Styling: 7 Photo Composition: 6 I like you tried something different with the pose. I marked that higher than the rest because it was different, but I did mark you down on composition because the pose itself with the rest of the image just feels slightly disconnected. There is a bit too much going on for it to be a clean polished final product, but still a good photo. Total: 6.75 Top photo is CupidStunt for sure. Bottom 2 for me is Marquis and Vanili I think but it was a tough call. I still enjoyed those two photos so I don’t know who will actually be bottom 2.
