Hello my top nine! This week you were tasked with a vivid, neon themed photoshoot!

As you know we have our highly esteemed panel of judges:

Now, let's begin critiques!

Up first is Rosé

I love the perspective in this photo and I find the way the neon has been combined with an ornamental print is really fascinating. I'm not in love with the garment but I think your face is really strong and your pose is making the space feel more expansive than it really is. Nice job!

Next is Croutanya

I really like the aesthetic of this photo, but I find the composition a little bit stranger and not engaging. However, you're doing a great job emoting and you look like an old Hollywood film star, it's quite breathtaking!

Next is Faith

This is a fantastic shot conceptually, I just don't like that you've opted for a singer this week instead of a serious fashion model. It takes me out of the fashion aspect but it's a great shot nonetheless and your posture is so hawt.

Up next is Avonna

Besides the name of this editorial being 'Neon Angel', there's virtually nothing neon about this photo except for the very subtle tones of neon lighting coming in from the side. While this is a gorgeous shot and I do like it, it just doesn't feel like you really embraced the theme this week.

Next is Beatrice

Wow! I gasped. This is such a gorgeous shot I don't know where to begin. It's so artistic I could see this hanging up in Andre Leon Talley's salon. You're really selling the shoes, and I love every detail about this photo. I honestly think this is my favourite photo of the competition so far! Great work and please keep this up!

Next is Ashanti

This feels a little bit... cliché for me. Your face is being expressive and I like your connection with the camera, but think image is so low quality and your outfit and styling isn't doing you any favours.

Up next is Leo

This feels very safe. Yes it's neon, and yes it's fashion. However, it doesn't feel like a very dynamic or interesting shot overall. I will commend your modelling though because your body looks tense yet relaxed at the same time, and your smize is intense.

Next is Sol

This is just, awkward? There's something missing about this shot. I think your body looks way out of proportion and you're not really selling the garment. The lighting is cool but it just doesn't really do much for the image overall, and I find this is a very awkwardly composed photo.

Last we have Matheus!

Wow what a photo! I love that this isn't overtly colourful but it's still vivid and fits the theme. It's so well composed and you're really selling the jewellery. Perhaps what's standing out the most of me is that the eye that's open is the one that's in the shadow, so it really adds more mystery to the image. Good job!

Thank you everyone, please head backstage while I deliberate with the judges. When I call you back, I will reveal which eight of you will continue to be in the running to become Taylor's Next Top Model.

Ok sky ferreira is barely a singer

She's a singer in the way that like ... Nico or carla bruni is a singer

Welcome back, I have made my decision.
