PATRICK'S CRITIQUES:
--------------------------------------
Pocahontas Rose – THIS PHOTO! Yes! I love the different direction this took from everyone else, and I love the subdued colours but the red dress against them is so great. I think there’s a real story that could be told here, and my only complaint is that the necklace on the model is just unnecessary, but this wonderful. My favourite of the week!
Judith Judasy – This photo is amazing. I love the colours, I love the sassy look on the face, I love the fact you’re actually eating the food in this photo and yet, it still looks amazing. I don’t think there’s anything that I would change or complain about. Wonderful work and one of my favourites from you this whole season.
Brendina Reedera – This is a great shot for you, your strongest since week 3, and I think you successfully pulled off the theme. I love that you incorporated the food into your image as opposed to just surrounding yourself with it. I think that your nails/ring are fun/a nice pop of colour that allow you to still stand out with paler colours throughout the rest of the picture. Great job this week.
Malaysia Renee-Young – For me, this is probably your strongest submission since week one. The colours are beautifully together here, I love the black veil, and I love your jewelry, even the background works well. I don’t think the plate of fruit was an odd choice where it’s located, I think it could have been more successful if it were more colourful than what is presented. But otherwise, I think this was a very strong submission this week.
Ximena Rodriguez – You came off such a high last week that I was expecting so much, and this is just so middle of the road for me. While I can see the fun aspect and appreciate the colours, there’s just nothing here that draws me in or “wow”s me. It’s not bad, just not a real standout.
Natalie Smith – There’s so much right about this photo in the colours, the hair, the accessories, that the awkward angle of the face is accented more than it should, but overall, a nice photo.
Augustine Rose – Not a fan of this one for you this week. I like the colour of your skin and accessories against the colour of the donuts, I just don’t see glamour or beauty in this. It almost looks like an advertisement for American Horror Story: Bakery.
Shanna Brown – In my opinion, this is your worst photo of the season and it’s not even close. There’s just so much wrong between the pose of the model, the outfit, the colours, even the look of the food, and not much right. We know you can bring more than what you’ve presented this week, and I hope that if you remain, you have the opportunity to show it.
Wendy Wu – Looking around the image, you’d think there’d be a more interesting factor to the model. I would’ve just thought that the colour of the dress on the model should be another colour, or some other pop to really have them stand out. To me, the model is overshadowed by all of the food in the image and just doesn’t stand out.
