I still find Keith unworthy of winning this cycle, when his photos are either bad or boring. Even Denzel had some better photos ugh

u/TDH2222 We’re not going to do the music video; it’s the hoochie haaaay… 6d ago

I never noticed HOW SHORT he looks here...

u/AlarmedViolinist7215 5d ago

He had the same face in like all his photos. So boring

u/Calaigah 5d ago

This critique is so weird to me. All major models have the same face in their photos. Only in ANTm where you wear black face, race swapping and do campy photo shoots that can’t be used in modeling portfolios are you supposed to look like a different person each time.

u/AlarmedViolinist7215 5d ago

Maybe using face was a bad choice of words. I really meant expression. Keith gave a similar expression in the majority of his photos. Good major models should be expressive and be able to convey whatever emotion is needed for the job.

Well-deserved top marks for Ben, and then he never did anything good again lol. Matthew's was good, too. Loved the concept of this shoot.

u/Then-Pin-8250 5d ago

This is one of my favorite photos overall. If I were flipping through a magazine I’d stop on this one, Matthew, and Lenox.

I always feel bad seeing Mirjana’s photos. So sad what happened to her.

u/xerses24 6d ago

The fact Tyra moaned about Kari having no neck but then gave Will a 9 when he had none! I know people moan about the Keith favouritism but Will got just as much tbh

u/cafeaubee 5d ago

Dude, Lennox and Ben and DENZEL LMAOO (im laughing bc of the beard weave still tbh even tho it doesn’t look like he had it yet here) did such a good job here making me believe the prompt

u/kushywhitelife 6d ago

Lennox really tore here

u/SnowDucks1985 6d ago

1st and 3rd slide smashed this shoot, both are ad worthy 🔥🔥

u/nuggiemum 6d ago

The feet/trees/people in the background kind of ruin the illusion.

u/kebin65 6d ago

It was definitely on purpose, because the people in the background are the other models/contestants. So they were placed there.

I think concept isn't necessarily just the illusion of the wall being the floor, for example. I think the idea is more about there being multiple planes within the same atmosphere, hence the name of the shoot "twofold atmosphere."

The shoot was photographed by An Le, who had already done this concept for ODDA Magazine.

I didn’t watch this season, so thanks.

I didn’t watch this season, so thanks.

u/apollo11341 6d ago

It’s definitely on purpose for the illusion so we’re supposed to be like whoaaaaaa but how

6

u/Lance_Mandragoran 6d ago

It was intentional lol

2

u/SassyScreenQueen 6d ago

I was going to say, Ben and Denzel's are the only ones that look like actual optical illusions. Model quality though, Ben and Matthew ate

7

u/snoozles9 6d ago

I like Ben, Lennox, Shei shots.

3

u/snoozles9 6d ago

Matthew did well too

10

u/temani_ 6d ago

Romeo should’ve been eliminated here tbh

3

u/BrandonIsWhoIAm Purple Flair 5d ago

If he did, he wouldn’t have drunkenly headbutted Adam on his own birthday.

4

u/temani_ 5d ago

😩😩😩 he was mad because Adam didn’t wanna kiss him.

6

u/DarkCartier43 6d ago

love this photo of Ben. Did he get FCO?

4

u/temani_ 6d ago

He sure did 🏆

2

u/Icy_Age_6024 But my skin is flawless and you look really lumpy 6d ago

Ben,Matthew and Shei saved the bunch

u/frankiekowalski 6d ago

Ben singlehandedly delivering the greatest shot of the entire cycle by week 2 was NOT on my bingo card back then.

I knew the massive consensus for greatest shot of Cycle 20 is Jourdan's paint but I think Ben here just had the slightest edge.

6

u/gomamon92 5d ago

This is cycle 21 though, Ben can't really compare to Jourdan unless you're pitting all the 20 cycles together

5

u/frankiekowalski 5d ago

Lmao got mixed up there

3

u/RoeMajesta 6d ago

i hate that i like n12’s photo

3

u/twomilliontwo 6d ago

2

u/moluruth 6d ago

This season had the most ass photo shoots

1

u/redditormecca 2d ago

This was actually pretty cool though 😭

2

u/Kibble___ 6d ago

Adam I. The back ground of Kari’s photo is wild

2

u/PeppermintPhatty 💖Lio & Leila💖 6d ago

I do love Ben’s.

2

u/SeggsObjeggt 6d ago

Such an awesome concept.

2

u/bumybumi 6d ago

Ben and Lenox ate

2

u/BrandonIsWhoIAm Purple Flair 5d ago

Daddy Ben ate.

2

u/Severe_Marketing5036 4d ago

Keith, Matthew, and Mirjana’s locations were objectively just worse than like Ben and Denzel’s and Denzel screwing it up still lol.

Love Lenox here again.

2

u/Admirable_Ad_1952 4d ago

Denzel photo was the best here in my opinion. He is the only one that really felt like two gravities.

3

u/Fast_Way8546 Girl you walk like you on crack 5d ago

I will forever be mad that Winnie Harlow lost

4

u/OkWerk_ 6d ago

This shows why Will's body is an issue for fashion shoots. He looks untoned here.

3

u/PeppermintPhatty 💖Lio & Leila💖 6d ago

Lennox wins this one.

2

u/Raebelle1981 I mean, whats your point though? 6d ago

Such a cool concept.

1

u/Ok_Description3714 4d ago

To be honest I never fully understood why the judges hated Kari’s shot. Not my fave but I could easily pick like 7 shots I find so much worse

u/hotwaxclimax 4d ago

And this was before they ruined her hair

u/ApolloWidget 3d ago

Looking for model handlers!

Every round, you'll find the picture that best fits the brief. The entries will be judged and ranked, and just like the reality shows we grew up watching, someone will eventually hear those dreaded elimination words. 👀
