DNTM4 - Flop-O-Meter [Week 5]

Welcome back. Grab ur umbrellas, its pouring FASHION this week at #DNTM4 ! All models delivered something really good this week so this was a tough one to rank. For the first time in Flop O Meter history, the meter didn't even break 7/10. Good job all As always all points are my own and not in anyway associated with DNTM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚖️ The Mid-Tier Flops (4 to 6.9 / 10) ⚖️ Tjamal9106 - Flop Rating 6.0 This is a bit off to look at. I do love that your model is the main focus and I'm not distracted by anything going on in the background. However, I think you could have utlized the umbrella much more to really make the shot pop.. I'm not sure if this reads as fashion, it's just a safe photo. You need to push harder, that being said the prompt was SIMPLE.. so you delivered. SpaceLab - Flop Rating 6.0 This is okay, but I really think you cold have pushed the boat out more and still be simple. I do love the jacket, and the brown tones work very well here. The face is absolutely serving! It just needs that extra something to elevate it from a good picture to a great fashion spread. Dont play too safe. Antog - Flop Rating 5.8 I like this, and the dress is gorg. The detailing when you zoom in is super impressive. The problem is that the dress completely steals the show from the model. Your models face looks a little dull, and that awkward hard up in the air doesnt make sense to me. I'm not sure the pose and the garment tie together properly. You have to sell the dress, not let the dress sell you. Fancy - Flop Rating 5.6 Okay cruella! Welcome to your villain era! From a styling point of view, this look great. It leans a little costumey, but I guess that always happens when you're mimicking an iconic character. I appreciate the risk. My main critique is that you should have made parts of that coat look wet.. the background looks heavily rainy, yet your model is bone dry, which hurts the realism. On the plus side, the face is giving pure model. The prompt called for simple, and this is a clean shot. Good effort all round. GuiltyAsSin - Flop Rating 5.0 This is another great photo from you, though I'm noticing those legs are a little too long for that body? Proportions aside, I love the styling and the pose. It's something no one else did and it feels very editoral. My main issue is that im so distracted by the endless leg and the scenery that I wish we could see your model's face more. But overall, well done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👑 The Safe Zone (0.0 - 3.9 / 10) 👑 Marquis - Flop Rating 3.0 I like this! I love the reflection on the floor, its extremely visually pleasing. It would have been good to actually see rain in the background since he is soaking wet but maybe the storm just passed. The styling is good, I know you love a suit. I adore the wet-hair look and the white outfit contrasting against the dark scenery... good job MissMiranda - Flop Rating 2.0 Your model looks utterly flawless. The concept of the car splashing you is a fantastic idea and brings action to the shot. My only note is that the outfit could have been slightly more daring and fashion-foward for an editorial brief, but overall you did a really good job here. Manon - Flop Rating 1.0 This is lovely! I only wish you had enhanced the umbrella a bit, as it is a little hard to see exactly where the water is coming from at first glance. However, the styling is GORGGG. Also, when I tilt my head to look at the models face, it actually looks great, which is notoriously hard to pull off with AI angles (Melanie). This is editorial as hell. Great job. Zee_ - Flop Rating 0.9 Okay mama, you ATE this. I love the styling, and the contrast of the purples throughout the photo is gorgeous to look at. The face is serving hard, and she remains the main focus even though you have a detailed scenery behind her. WEll done!!! Marilise - Flop Rating 0.5 You really know how to capture editorial without overdoing it, I love the styling here. The face is a little plain jane but ACTUALLY it works for the moody vibe of this shoot. She is definetly glowinggg.. I love it. CupidStunt - Flop Rating 0.3 I am absolutely obsessed with the styling here. This is probably the best styling of the entire week, which is crucial for a fashion editorial shoot. Your models face is incredibly powerful. I honestly have no notes here, A really, really good job. LeQuishaQ - Flop Rating 0.2 Oh she is so back. This is everything to me. She said fuck it I dont even need the umbrella. The splash prints as she walks through the rain tie perfectly together with the expression and the power. AND you took a risk by going for a completely different pose and expression. The face is serving, and absolutely nothing is wrong here. you took a risk, it paid off and it looks flawless. --------------------------------------------------- Week 4 Leaderboard 1. LeQuishaQ 2.
