Shoot 2 - Best Assets

[Hilary Rhoda]

This shoot, we wanted to see your best assets! Let's see what you all chose to show us, and what the judges thought!

[Hilary Rhoda]

Andrew...

Best Assets
Andrew has amazing abs...look at that six pack!!!

Julia: Andrew, I think you did a good job here. Your abs stand out well, and there is little distraction going on. You facial expression is a bit off but other than that, good work. I think you did well this week, way to rebound.

Janice: When I look at a man, and I'm going to throughout my critiques, I don't even want to know what your best asset is by you telling me. I should JUMP STRAIGHT off the page at me. Hit me between the eyeballs and leave my rolling around on the floor like a miracle has just occurred. Do I notice your abs at first glance Andrew? That my dear boy is the question. And the answer to that is NO! I noticed your amazing firm pecs. Wooooo to get my hands on that body, on those pecs. Then... just then I might linger to your abs but not until I've introduced myself properly to your chest. Holy COW! Anyway, that's just what I noticed first but your abs are nice, this angle doesn't do much for them though darling.

Hilary: Andrew, I think you could have said torso (like Eugen did) and gotten away with it here. I have to agree with Janice that your chest is truly magnifique!! Although...I still love your abs here. I really like this photo - nice comeback, dear.

Heidi: I like this Andrew! It's very hot! I have to agree with Janice, though... I see your Pecs first... and boy do I wanna touch them! hehe This is a great comeback though!

Emma: This is good. It's nice. It's SAFE. There's nothing about this that stands out. The world of ale modeling is so cut and dry you need to something somewhat different to stand out. Even if it's just twisting your torso a different way or something! This is by no means bad it's just boring for me. Anyone can pull this off, however it's better then last round!

[Hilary Rhoda]

Miro...

Feature : Smile [ if that doesn't count - chest ]

Janice: At first glance, this is, mind you... looking at the picture first before finding out what YOU think your best feature is... so anyway, at first glance I said "who is this goofy guy with that goofy grin". Obviously your smile is what caught my attention first. Does it stand out? You bet your abs it does!

Julia: I think your smile is very unique looking in this photo and I can see it before the rest of you, so good job there. The light in the background is a bit distracting, but it's fairly minor. Good job here, Miro.

Hilary: Miro Miro on the wall. Flashes that smile and captures us all. Okay, so I'm no poet, but I get an A for effort, right? I like this, Miro. Very cute and very unique. I don't think you're goofy. I think you're adorable. Yes, I love those abs, as well, but can you help it if God bestowed you with many assets?


Heidi: Oooh Miro! You're so cute! I definately noticed the smile first! I love the black and white too! It does good things for you! Not that you're not incredibly gorgeous in color, but the black and white is good! I have to agree though... this definately could have worked for abs!

Emma: You smile is the first thing I noticed. And yes it is "unique" but not in a good way. You look deranged and your eyes have no passion in them. I'm sorry but this in by no way impresses me. And that snake is just bizarre your smile looks like you're about to eat it or do something else with this. If this was a Japanese fetish porn round you'd be dead on, but other then that I just don't like it.

[Hilary Rhoda]

Tyson...

Shoot 2 : Best Feature



The best feature is his ; Muscle.
I hope you guys like it.

Julia: Tyson, good comeback! I like this photo, and I think you are showing off what you're noting as your best feature. I wish I could see your face a bit better here, but, overall, I think that is a decent effort.

Hilary: Tyson, I do concede that you have fabulous muscles, and I do think you have done a very good job showing them off. As far as the photo quality - I don't know...it seems a little grainy, seedy to me. Just throws me off a bit for some reason.

Emma: I do like this picture but one of your tatoos looks like a scar! It's really distracting for me. Not sure if that's actual scarification (that crazy thing where they put scolding hot metal on your skin), but it's not attractive. But this is MUCH better then last round, and I really do like it, good job .

Janice: It's a MEAT MARKET today ladies. Slide over and make room for me here. Marcus, you have some very fine arms. They are huge! Are you flexing to make yourself that big. My GOD your arms are huge. I'm not a fan of the tats and that weird burn mark. No-no darling. Mutilation of your perfect body is not good but your arms are nice and of course, since you covered most everything else... your arm is very noticeable.

Heidi: hehe meat market! Janice you crack me up! I have to agree with Hilary, Tyson.... this does look a bit grainy! Your muscles are HOT though, and absolutely to die for! I think this is a HUGE improvement over your last submission! Well done!

[Hilary Rhoda]

Travis...

Abs

[/b]


Hilary: Well, uh....Travis.....sorry lost my train of thought. :-P You are a very nice looking man but....I just don't know if I was quite ready for this much of you! I think cropping would have been a great idea in your case. If I hold my hand over part of the photo and just concentrate on your abs, then yes, nice job. I just think this is a bit too distracting for me. *fans self*

Julia: Travis, I have to agree with everything Hilary said. I, too, was distracted by the *ahem* lower portion of your body here, but I do think you have great abs, as well. Well-done, at showing them off.

Janice: Ummm, looks at the other ladies, something about this black and white shot does distract from those abs. Could it be those BRIGHT WHITE BRIEFS *fans self*. Woooo Hoooooo, it's like being at strip club. For FREE! Anyway, you have fine abs but honey, don't' put on white briefs, pose for a black and white photo and tell ME, Mother Janice, that your abs are your best feature because I'm truly distracted.

Heidi: WOAH!!! Heidi is definately going to need that cold shower again! Ok, I'm gonna be the blunt one and say I'm staring at your package! LOL Sorry... but it's true! *takes Hilary's fan and fans self!* omg that is the hottest.... ok back to reality... I agree with Hilary, you should have cropped a little bit... and I agree with janice... those Calvin Kleins are a bit obvious in the black and white photo! The abs are AMAZING though but honestly, after I notice your package, I see your eyes, then your abs... sorry, love... LOVE the photo, but I don't think it showcases the body part you want us to look at...

Emma: I have nothing to say that the other's haven't! Like Hilary said, cropping right below those bright white briefs would have made this picture focused on your abs more. I think this is a lot better then your mug shot last round, but this round it looks like you went to jail and are trying to seduce the warden...okay that took it a little too far XD. But I do like this and had it have been cropped you'd look much more serene and innocent. But all we see is your crotch here. I mean if you would have had the guts to say your package was your best feature this would be dead on!

[Hilary Rhoda]

Mathias...

The feature that I choose as my best feature is my cheekbones. They are high and are visible when I take photos. They are just chiseled enough to be able to stand out.

Janice: WOW Mathias. I actually like this shot of you. You look like a REAL model. I can see that your face is very strong and your cheekbones are a great featured item of that face. What I appreciate more then anything is that you listened to Mama Janice and you agreed that the first shot of you was too harsh and a different angle would be better for you. Here you are... side profile and you look like a totally different person who's face is something I can say is gorgeous. I like this a lot young man. Well done.

Hilary: Mathias, while I really like this photo, I think you should have gone with a closer face shot to showcase your bone structure and facial angles. I can see them, I just don't think they jump out. Not bad.

Julia: Mathais, you look quite handsome here. I can see the strong angles to your face, especially the way you are angled and posing. I particularly like your square jaw. I think this was a good comeback for you, as well.

Heidi: Again, I agree that a closer face shot would have helped make this more apparent that you were going for your cheek bones. I thought you were going for Hair here... not cheekbones... though they do stand out, I noticed your hair first. Sorry Mathias.

Emma: I agree with the other judges and say a closer picture would have been more effective, but at least you chose something different then the other guys which I'll give you credit for. I actually don't think this is half bad, good job!

[Hilary Rhoda]

Barratt...

Smile

Julia: Barratt, you have a very nice smile, so I am glad that you've obviously chosen that as your best feature. I think you look a bit washed out with the light colored tank and white background, but not enough to take away from yourself. Nice work, altogether.

Hilary: Barratt, I find this a very amateurish shot. It looks like very generic and dull. Your smile is not that impressive here. It's okay.

Emma: I do not like this at all. It's very, as Hilary said, amateur. Not much to comment on, looks like one of your school buddies took this after class or something.

Janice: Alright darling dear, Mama Janice is going to tell you how it is. This looks like a portfolio shot. Nothing professionally done that would go into an editorial spread. We are looking for HIGH FASHION models here. Not Joe-Schmo off the street. Are you Joe? I think not. I do like your smile. Your teeth are very straight. But I just don't like the over Polaroid looking shot here. Sorry peanut.

Heidi:Oh, Barratt... I'm sorry pumpkin I'm really not liking this that much. Your smile is noticeable, but I have to agree, this looks very amature... you're adoreable, and your smile is gorgeous, but this isn't my favorite this week. Sorry, love.

[Hilary Rhoda]

Eugen...

Photoshoot #2 - Best Asset

Mostly I would say my luscious lips, but I wanted to be different Although I will probably have about five other guys saying the same thing lmao But I love love love my torso

Julia: I have to say, you do have a well defined torso here, so nice work on displaying your best feature. There are a few minor things about this photo that bother me like the watermark at the bottom that could have been cropped, and the lighting is a little distracting with the shadowing all around you, but I do think you're doing a good job of showing off yourself and your best feature, so nice job.

Hilary: Eugen, I love love love your torso, too. I agree that cropping just below the waist ( ) might have been a good idea to put more emphasis on your chest...but on the other hand, watermarks don't bother me. It's just something you have to deal with when stealing photos from other sites. I think you did an excellent job showing off that torso, baby. Great photo!

Emma: The watermark doesn't bother me. I really like the pose, it's calm, natural, but the way your top part of the torso is turned really adds another element to this. I like this, I think you did a stellar job .

Janice: Hahahaha, I thought you were going to say Abs but honestly darling. With a fine looking body like that, how could you just minimize yourself to one area when you really do have a very nice upper body as well. I like everything here and the fact that you are smooth... hmmm, that's a bonus for you.

Heidi: HUBBA HUBBA! This is Hot Eugen! I love the whole package! I was actually hoping you'd use your lips... but woah this puts a whole new perspective on things! This is great!

[Hilary Rhoda]

Marcus...

My best asset has to be my fierceness squint...it looks as if I'm staring into your soul.

Julia: Marcus, I think you look very dapper here and I really like your outfit. I, personally, am not too sure why you chose your squint as your best feature, and I am uncertain as to if it's something you might be known for, but it is a unique best feature to have or be known for. Overall, solid effort.

Hilary: LOL Marcus. I am not sure what a "fierceness squint" is. Okay I know what you mean but I'm not sure if I agree. First of all I am not really into squinting, and second of all, this doesn't look fierce to me at all. I find it dull - and the quality is very bad.

Emma: LOL your description really made me laugh outloud. I love the outfit, but once again your nose is HUGE, head on angles aren't your friend. But I do think you're pulling off the squint well, but I don't really think that could be considered a feature.

Janice: Ears? Nose? Nope... Lips? Nope not those either. Although they do stand out. I would have NEVER in a hundred THOUSAND years have said your squint. Do you need glasses? Squinting isn't very appealing to me darling. I mean it works with the right photo but this looks like your basic training graduation photo. Hmmmm, I'm sorry peanut but Mama Janice is just not impressed.

Heidi: Is a squint even a feature? Marcus, I'm sorry, love. I'm just not feeling this one... I see you were trying to take a risk, and sometimes that works, but not for this particular photo. I would have thought lips before anything. I'm sorry, love.

[Hilary Rhoda]

Mat...

That shot really showcases his great body.

Julia: Mat, I think you look good here and so does your body. I wish you were a bit closer to the camera, though and didn't look as washed out as you do here, but I can't help to notice how fine your body does stand out, so nice work.

Janice: Your "Great Body". Is that what you said? *reads back* Oh yes it is... well thanks for narrowing that down for us Mat. I mean of course you have a great body. That's noticeable but your WHOLE body? Does that include your neck? I would have narrowed it down to Pecs for you. They look solid and ... well I'll leave it that and keep this critique rated G. Oh but to clear it up... I think saying your BODY was a cop out. You cannot possibly think your entire body is your best asset. Sigh.... *tosses photo* NEXT please!

Hilary: Awww Mat. I agree that you have a great body, but I think that was a pretty general "feature" and I don't think this photo was your best choice to showcase it. I think you could have gone with abs and it would have been alright, but I don't like this photo. It's too faded and there is way too much text for my liking. I would really try to stay away from shots scanned from magazines unless they are of stellar quality with minimal text on the pages.

Heidi: Ohh Mat, Mat, Mat... I'm afraid I have to echo everything my fellow judges have said... no sense beating a dead horse....

Emma: Oh Mat this is a big let down for me . You were one of my top ranks last round and then you submit this? "Body" is such a broad term and your face looks constipated. The judges before me hit the nail on the head with everything they said, if you stay step it up next time! I know you can!

[Hilary Rhoda]

Evandro...

Week 2

My abs are the best asset in this photo.

Julia: Evandro, your abs are certainly well defined here, but the lighting and shadows are a bit distracting to me. On the other hand, it helps to enhance the focus onto your tight abs, so altogether, I think this shot works.

Janice: Evandro... I would have said Abs for this photo as well. I can see you're also wearing your tighty whities... BUT, those abs stand out and say 'PAY ATTENTION TO THESE BABIES" and darling, you got my attention. Well done.

Hilary: WOW! Evandro you have my attention, as well. I love this shot! My eyes zoom to your abs (and maybe a few other places, but that's probably just me :-P ). I even love the shadowing effect here - very artistic and you are one beautiful specimen. Great job!

Heidi: No, Hilary, it definately is not just you! My eyes do wander to other parts, but I definately notice those chizzeled abs first! The shadows do bother me... but not enough to detract me from your best assets!

Emma: The producers certianley got a bunch of horny judges this cycle! I guess I'll be the voice of reason. I think that this works well for an ab picture. Your abs are perfectly centered in the middle of the picture, and that's where I looked first. I do like the dramatic lighting because it gives extra shadows and more definition to your abs and I like your face, even if the shadows do over power it! I like this, one of my favorites this round, good job!

[Hilary Rhoda]

Sean...

I picked this as my asset because it show off my unique face structure and i feel it has the best angles out of all my photos.

Julia: Sean, another handsome man who came dressed to impress. I can see why you might have picked out your facial structure as your best feature, but on the other hand, with such a full upper bodied shot, I don't really think it was the best way to display to us this feature. I do think the photo on a whole is nice, though, so decent job.

Hilary: Sean, I am not sure that this is a great display of your facial structure. I keep focusing on your tux. If you want us to concentrate on your face - then you should submit a face-only photo. You DO look dashing here - but I find the quality a bit lacking.

Emma: Eh not too fond of slicked back here, but I think we get a good representation of your facial structre here, and you have a very classic look. I like the pose and the suit but...THE HAIR!

Janice: EMMA! OMG I need to stop sitting next to you!. The hair was the first thing I thought of when looking at this. It's like WHOA... in your face hair is THERE. Now you do have a nice bone structure to your face but your hair draws my attention moreso and its not in a good way. Sorry peanut.

Heidi: You have a handsome face, Sean, but I must confess... I noticed the hair first too.... and like Hilary said, the tux is a bit distracting.

[Hilary Rhoda]

Ryan...

Shoot II - Best Asset
Nose



I chose as my best asset my nose.
It's pretty risky choosing said part to be the strongest asset for someone but I didn't want to be like everyone and choose eyes, body or jaw line which are normally the most important things in male modeling.
Noses for me have always been what gives a person a whole lot of their personality and I believe my nose has a lot of personality and it stands out very nicely in this picture.
Of course I also have the Male Modeling Basics [eyes, jawline and body] but I chose a picture where I feel those basics are slightly overshadowed by something as simple as a nose.

Julia: Ryan, sweet, innocent Ryan! You have certainly taken the bull by the horns here, and stood out among your fellow models with your best asset choice. I think it is a unique feature and this photo definitely shows it off well. While I appreciate that you are one of the few whose photo is actually in color, (I just find it so ironic that most everyone else's in a B&W) I think that your coat is swallowing you. That aside, of course, you do show us what you're noting as your best feature, well here, so good job, overall.

Janice: Right off the bat, without reading your LONG speech about your feature... I thought it's gotta be those kissable soft pink lips. But nope, you put your nose down. It's a nose for petesake. Is it really that special? What can you model with your nose? Anyway, what can men model with their mouths for that matter??? Hmmm, anyway, Ryan it's a good shot and you do have a great nose. I'm just not being rocked out of my socks is all.

Hilary: I think this is wayyyy too adorable, Ryan. Your nose is cute as a bug's ear....well really much cuter. This shot really makes us focus on your face and I think your nose is worthy of our attention. This photo really makes me want to touch it. Very clever wrapping yourself in the orange parka so we had no choice but to zoom in just where you intended us to. Great job!

Heidi: I have to agree Ryan! You are super cute! I, like Janice, thought that you were going to say your lips though. Your nose... it's a bit of a risk, but it's a handsome nose! I think this is ok!

Emma: I applaud you for stepping outside the box but this big orange jacket is a little distracting . It reminds me of the Mr. Puffy jacket from Arthur...I don't think anyone will recognize that reference unless they're a hardcore Arthur fan, but that's what it reminds me of. However the orange contrasts your face and since there is so much orange I look at your face first. I do like your nose and think your expression is really sweet and nice.

[Heidi Klum]

Elims up later tonight guys! Good luck everyone!

[Eugen Bauder]

Thank you so much judges because I was kind of scared
