Hello Boys!!!
Welcome to your First Judging Session. Tonight, at least one of you will be going home. Your first theme was "Addiction". Let see how you guys did it this week.
First, Team Chapeau
Team Chapeau (Nico, Chord, TaeYang, Matthew & Tom)
Betty: Well, Nico, there's a certain ugliness in this photo that I think goes well with the addiction theme. Addiction can be an ugly thing. I like that about this photo. Also, I like the slouch. There's a little something missing, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Taecyeon: Wow!!! Welcome Back, Nico!!! You really set the bar really high for this cycle!!! I can see the addiction in your photo. Love the attitude. Very good, Nico
Zach: Well this photo just looks disgusting... but in a good way. If it wasnt for the topic i'd say i'd hate this photo but because disgusting follows the topic of a smoking and alcohol addiction i say you hit the nail on the head? is that the right phase? well over all it's good!
David: I'm a big fan of this picture. For people who smoke, smoking and drinking definitely go hand-in-hand, so it's no surprise to see you covering both at once. It's an interesting photo and a good way to start off the competition.
Betty: I can see the angle where you're coming from here, but it's a little bland in my opinion. Although the site of your body does excite me a little bit, I don't think it showcases the addiction in a memorable way.
Taecyeon: Welcome Back, Chord. I think it would be better if we get the full body angle but I think, it was a good start for you. I love the sunglasses. I can see you love working out so much!!! Overall, good job!!!
Zach: Okay so im gonna be in the middle i like this, like Taecyeon said, the body and the addiction go well together. You got a killer six pack so there is proof you work out but like Betty said i too agree that this photo is kind of boring... i wish there was more, but overall it's a good start!
David: I like that you picked something that people do legitimately become addicted to, but it's also something that wouldn't necessarily come to mind when you think of addictions in general. That said, I have to agree with Betty and Zach that it's a bit boring. Not sure the sunglasses help much with the photo, either. I also wished you had resized the photo a bit, but it's not that overly blown out, so not as big a deal as it could have been. You look good in this picture and I'm sure you'll be fine.
Betty: I love the darkness in this shoot, but I can't really see the being addicted to drugs here up front. I can see the approach you were going for here, and I think it works well to see the side effects here.
Taecyeon: I think the idea is there but the execution could be sharper. But I'm still impressed with you. I love your exotic look. The styling is very memorable. Welcome back, Tae Yang!!
Zach: Hm i'm not sure about this one. I really like how you took the assignment and used it but this photo is so dark it scares me. I'm not a fan of the eyes but it's still a good shoot and i like the theme.
David: This is an interesting take on the assignment this week. I like the idea that you are showing the recovery from an addiction. Shows some creativity with what you're given to work with. I don't think it's 100% there, though. I wish you looked worse in this picture. You still look a little too put together for someone who has hit rock bottom and is now in recovery. A bit more stress in the picture probably would have been nice. Overall, you look fine in the picture and I like the approach you took to this week's assignment, so you get bonus points for that.
Betty: There's a certain rugged element of this shot that shows the side effects of smoking. However, as a modelling shot, I'm not sure about it. I'm also unsure of your intention. Are you promoting smoking or warning against it?
Taecyeon: I think he want to portray "people with addiction towards smoking". I get the addiction here. I can see the sadness in your face. It's like you don't want to smoke but you still have to because of your addiction. Strong emotion and welcome back, Mr Shue!!!
Zach: I can deff see this as a modeling shot but it's kind of boring. Your eyes are closed and your forehead is wrinkled but overall it shows that there could be an addiction there and it's decent. Good job!
David: This picture works for me. It's not as impactful as a photo portraying an addiction could be, but it still works. Like Betty, I like the grittiness of the photo. The coloring works well for this shoot, too. Probably not the most memorable photo we'll see in the game, but definitely one that fits the criteria of the shoot well enough this week.
Betty: What is this? I don't even... That's all I have to say on this.
Taecyeon: I can see your effort here is Tom. It was a tough week. I don't mind if you want to choose a screencap from a movie but you need to make sure that the modelling aspect in that screencap is strong enough. You picked a good theme but the execution just didn't work out for me. Sorry, Tom
Zach: there are some screencaps that work and others that don't... from a model aspect this does not work for the theme it does... so i'm 50/50 about this but still good attempt for a rookie.
David: Personally, I have no problem with screencaps or production stills as long as you remember to model and the quality of the image itself isn't subpar. I don't see any sense of modeling in this photo at all. As for the theme, you touched on it well enough. Just remember to keep the modeling aspect in mind next time.
