Shoot 10 - Man's Best Friend

[Hilary Rhoda]

Hello Gentlemen! This shoot was about showing us man's best friend. Who did you pick? What will we think? Let's find out...

Evandro...

Evandro is on a guy's night out on the the town with his two best friends. This shows friends that hang out with each other spontaneously and they know how to always have a good time no matter what.

Julia: I like this, Evandro. I think that you share focus of yourself well in this photo, and you all look like very driven men, ready to let loose and have a good night on the town. Your surroundings work well, too. Overall, this is nice.

Janice: The one thing I really like about this Evandro is that you have this fierce expression and you are totally outshining your friends with that expression since they look so dopey. Except for you pinched up mouth... this is a good look. Throw the scarf away and I'd say you are a regular old Lady Killer out on the prowl. Good job Evandro... stop pinching up your mouth though.

Hilary: Evandro, I like this. It's very cool and sexy. Love your two friends. Great job!

Eugen...

I posted the link to a larger size as well because you can see my face so much better in the larger photo but I had to crop and resize for posting purposes.
I've always loved this photo and it was my second choice last round, but alas I didn't use it.
This is me and my best friend Chelsea. We're both adrenline junkies and will do anything for a rush. We've known each other since childhood and remained friends ever since because of our similar interests. You could say she's the female version of me ;D
Here we're climbing a manmade spiderweb in an obstacle course in the Crayden County Olympics.

Julia: This is fairly creative, Eugen. The minute I looked at this photo, I thought of two people at one of those rock climbing walls, only here you're climbing a spider web. It looks like something two friends would definitely partake in doing. Aside from the fact that your face is a bit obstructed, I like this. The one thing that worries me is the intense look you're giving to your friend here, it verges on a bit of a romantic look, rather than friends, but, still, I think this fits. Good work.

Janice: This is a crazy shot Eugen. I wish I could see your face better and that blonde girl/man (she looks like she could be either... I don't' care that she/he has high heels on, her face is rough)... anyway, she steals the focus right away from you. Probably because she's making more contact with the camera then you are.

Hilary: Eugen, I only wish I could see you better, but I think this is a very cool shot. I like your explanation and it is very imaginative. Great job!

Ryan...

*taken from RD, first applicable for this shoot*


Janice: Hey there farmer Ryan. LOL. This is not a flattering shot of you. Your face looks narrow and your hair accentuates that narrowness of your face. I don't' really care for it, and once again your showing off your skinny body. The dog is cute though.

Julia: I like that you went the animal route, but I have to agree with Janice. I don't think you look your best in this photo. Your hair is styled a bit odd, and your expression is somewhat off. I am left a bit mixed on this photo.

Hilary: Ryan, I can kinda see why you went with this but it's kind of a seedy shot to me. Sorry, dear. Not loving this.

Andrew...

Andrew and his friends are enjoying a meal at the country club, they have all been best friends since elementary school..They are like the 4 muskateers one for all and all for one!!!1
Andrew is in the back

Janice: This is a very realistic looking friend shot Andrew! I was instantly drawn to the gentleman in the back, but center left so that is great that it is you. Thanks for pointing yourself out. I think the quality is slightly off but other then that I think you did very well here.

Julia: I like this, Andrew. It looks like you were all captured while having dinner together, and like Janice mentioned, it's very realistic. I have to agree, that the quality is a bit off, but other than that, I like this, and I think you share the focus with your friends, well here.

Hilary: While the quality sucks, I think this hits the theme and it's interesting. 2 out of 3, Andrew. Not bad!

Mathais...

My best friend, Marah and I decided to spend a relaxing day boating. Here we are taking in the peacefulness of the water. We've been best friends since high school and try to get together to spend some down time as often as we can.

Janice: This is such a cool shot Mathias. I don't' see you all being genuinely friendly but still you fit the requirements of being with another living being. lol. One thing that I don't' care for is your "blah" facial expression and then the quality is slightly off but other then that you did meet the requirements and it's an over all good job.

Julia: This is nice, Mathais. I like your scenery and it does look like you both are taking a break, while enjoying some time out together, perhaps, at the Marina...I think your expression actually looks smoldering and intense, and I like your eye connection, too. Overall, I think this is nicely done.

Hilary: Eh....boring. It's just that there is absolutely no interaction here and it just looks modelly. Sorry, Mathias, not my favorite.

[Hilary Rhoda]

Elims up asap.

[Ryan Taylor]

Wow Eugen your photo this round is a killer.

[Eugen Bauder]
