America's Next Top Model final five

We are now down to the final five girls on the show. They are now at the portion of the show were they travel overseas(this years' location was New Zealand) Every cycle has an episode were Tyra photographs the girls. For this photo-shoot, the girls where photographed in hard light. The girls had to push through a unique, high concept shoot.

Krista


She won first call out this week and I agree 100% that she deserved it. This picture is amazing. I could this in Vogue Magazine and Marie Claire. This photograph looks like it could have come from a vintage Vogue Magazine from the 70's. Krista has a very unique look. If you were to see her face from a straight on angle, you would think she is someone's skinny grandma, but because she has really sharp angles in her face, she photographs with a very intense profile.

Alexandra



Alexandra got the second call out picture. This pic of Alexandra is beautiful. She looks very beautiful and ethereal in this picture. Also, the composition and the backdrop of the environmental adds a lot to this picture. The hard light from the shadow adds a beautiful pattern to her skin. It almost looks as if the pattern so form as Aztec pattern. Great picture!!!

Angelea


I didn't love or hate angelea photo this week. It seem like she is just there. It's almost of if she lyed down and died and someone standing over here took a picture. If I could say one good thing about this photo, she does look serene, or is if she is at peace. She got third call out this week.

Raina



I don't know what to think about this picture. In my opinion, it is interesting and a like the hard shadows across her face; however, it doesn't really look like fashion picture. It looks like a pissed off girl took a picture behind some shadows. She received the final call out of the week.


Jessica



Unfortunately, Jessica was eliminated this week. I don't agree with here elimination. I actually think this picture belongs in the top three. Its a great profile and I love the way the hard shadows are hitting her face. If I could sum up this picture in two words, I would call it Visually Striking.

I should have know she would be eliminated regardless of how well she performed because Tyra and Company deemed her too commercial. In top model lingo, that means you have no chance in Hell of winning.

To sum up this photo shoot, I believe that this was definitely one of my favorites. When I was studying art, I took a photography class, and fell in love with it. One of are photography assignments, was to photograph anything you could find using hard light. It was definitely one of my favorite assignments because if you use your lighting and composition well, you can take some of the most interesting and visually striking photographs. Hopefully, I can get a new digital camera because mine is broke and I only have two film cameras.(Why has film died, I absolutely loved working with film)

I really miss photography.(making a sad face!!!!!!)
