Photoshoot #10 - Formal

[Elijah Wood]

I've decided, now that I've made it past final 6, I'm taking a huge risk.



Where better to have formal wear than at my own funeral? The best part; I can look as dead as I want and mean it. I figure, if I'm going to go out, I'm going to go out in a cloud of WTF BAM WHOA DID HE REALLY JUST DO THAT DAAAAAAMMNNNNNN!

Bare in mind that this was photographed as a campaign called "buy life" to help sponsor Keep A Child Alive, which is a way to combat HIV/AIDs by not only buying the medication to fight the disease, but also to provide shelter, nutrition, support and education. Many celebrities, like myself, have given up their digital lives for this great cause and ask that the people buy our lives back in order to benefit the children.


P.S. I also did the reward challenge in a thread below this one just so it's not overlooked.

Betty: *cries uncontrollably* Oh! Elijah! You were so young! It's so sad when a 90 year old like me out lives her secret lover! *sob sob sob* I don't like it! Noooo! Not one bit! *sob sob hic*.

I understand the theme to the photo, it's morbid, but in a way, it does work in a way of impact. Contrariwise, the disconnect from the camera makes it not work. The connect to the camera (I'm not sure how) would've made the image a bit more powerful.

((I know you have no control over that, but that's just how I think this particular image would look better. Just so you know, when we say stuff like this, it means we want you to take on what we've said, and look for things like that in your other photos. ))

Taecyeon: I love the styling. Very neat. I love your concept actually. Very unique and interesting. Your own funeral!!! My only problem is with your head. The proportion of your head wasn't really good. No matter what, I really like the risk that you gave us this week

[Zach McGowan]

Zach: Hm, i don't know how i feel about this photo. I like how it goes well with formal but then again the whole death thing kind of creeps me out. But it is very peaceful and i like that you went with a risk.

[David Beckham]

David: I love that you took a chance this week with this photo. Submitting a photo of yourself dead is a little creepy, but you're dressed in formalwear, so you meet the criteria of the theme and the mortician did a good job making you look good, so you have that working for you, too. Overall, this is a good photo and I'm happy you took the risk.
