Hello, my lovelies! This is my haute couture shot, which I thought was very nice and fanciful without going overboard. I already foresee that I'm going to get knocked for the fact that it doesn't particularly look like me, but I'm going to take the view that if I have several photos that don't look like me, then obviously I just have a lot of looks.  Hope you like it! |

Natalie: I actually think this does look like you! And this has grown on me since I've first seen it. It doesn't go overboard, but I think that haute couture is the one shot to really go over the top and have it sell. This doesn't mean you've done poorly, I'd just like to see a bit more of a risk. I really like your expression here, but I'm not sure how I feel about the setting. It's a little bright for this photoshoot, but maybe that's just my perception of it. And we all know that perception is not always reality ... Anyway, I think you did a fine job this week, I'm just not blown away. |

Adele: I love this. Very dramatic and intense. You look gorgeous and sexy in this photo, girl. Not a great of fan, same with Kristen's couture, I think the color is too boring. But at least you manage to inject more excitement with those part (Is that ruffles?) on your hand. However I really love your confidence and the overall concept for your photoshoot this week.

Amanda: This is unquestionably more "you" than last round. I like it, but I don't love it. It's too black, and not "couture" enough - parts here look like they could be worn by anyone. I like the ruffles and the pose, since those at least add SOME couture value, and the lipstick is delicious and injects a little sparkle of color. I like the setting, but like the others... nothing here blows me away. Still like it though  |

Hayley: I definitely really like this photo. That's such an interesting outfit. The posing and facial expressions definitely works with the dress, even if I normally wouldn't have really cared for that facial expression. I like your setting, too. Nothing really stands out as being wrong in this photo, for me.

I really like your expression here, but I'm not sure how I feel about the setting. It's a little bright for this photoshoot, but maybe that's just my perception of it. With all due respect, I didn't see any reason to take that risk. Last round, I attempted to submit something that was more artistic than model-esque, and got poor criticisms from both you and Amanda, even though the hair was a vital part of the overall look of the picture. After having literally just been smacked for taking a risk, it would be stupid of me to try that again, because for all I knew, you'd just go "It's ugly" and I'd be off like a shot to Sequester House. As for the setting, I got marks off in the Zodiac shoot for having a studio background, so I figured I'd try to avoid those in the future. |
