i sorta figured. eh, that's what i get for having chipmunk cheeks and trying to hide it with profile shots. thanks anyways...
my advice to the judging is not only based on the contestants ability to set up a photograph and their technical ability.... maybe try judging on the liklihood that it's model material? That way this competition could truely be LJ's next top model rather than LJ's next top photographer
maddy- i feel bad, but you know what? you dont have to win this contest to be the best. if you want to take good pictures of yourself, practice, practice, practice. use our advice.
but also, you didn't give us variety, believe me.... your pictures looked EXACTLY like your application except you put a gun in your hand. look back at daniela's application, she has changed, look at natt, she is taking on different characters, even stef who already was the bomb in her application.
if you need any help with anything or advice (your probably thinking who the hell is this guy anyways?) you can message me and i will help yah!
i would give the classic, "at least you got this far" ...but no i wont... because lets face it, this contest is fun but not THAT prestigious! LOL
haha! No I completely understand, I'm just not the best at taking variety. I wish I had a chance to try more things, but hey... oh well that's life isn't it?
I took my shots at profile cuz my cheeks were huge... and I guess that limited my variety a LOT. In fact, they'er STILL puffy because my wisdom teeth were impacted so it's taking much longer to heal than they normally would.
I'm actually already a contracted model for an orgaic clothing company called Embody. I'm a vegetarian, and they are strong animal rights activists, so it felt fitting I guess I make a better model, rather than photographer :P
How did the judges come to an agreement if Nora hasn't turned in her photos yet and not all the judges made critiques? Is this an official elimination?
Only one judge didn't critique, and he's ALWAYS mia for some reason.
Nora hasn't submitted her pictures, but her overall performnce since day one has been enough to pull her through. Maddy just had too many mistakes from the beginning.
Again, I'm not a judge but I think maddy deserves another chance to try again. Exception to the Nora thing, I think that since we have so little girls competing, it wouldn't hurt to have her try again. I mean, I was HORRIBLE the first shoot and improved this time. Why wouldn't be the same for Maddy?
Honestly (this may sound unconfident), I think Maddy saved me from elimination. I feel bad because I was like second least favorite [at least according to the poll]... It wasn't fair for her as it was for me because I had a second chance.
well it's not about me, it's about Maddy. I didn't show all that much variety in my natural shots, i just smiled.
We have sooo little girls competing, I just thought it wouldn't be a big deal to let her stay another round. I mean, it's all about having fun with it, what's the rush to determining who is LJ's Top Model?
