Photoshoot #3 - Deities (Mami Wata)

[Bomb Squad]

For this photoshoot, I am choosing Mami Wata, the African Goddess of Beauty, who is also one of the water spirits. I chose Oluchi for this photoshoot to tie the connection with the African Goddess. The photo has many of the obvious and subtle elements Mami Wata. She is surrounded in water, being a water spirit, she is beautiful, and usually accompanied with a snake, Oluchi's garment imitates snake skin.

Didn't you already submit this?



Oh, no, that's right. Just something that's insanely similar. Do you remember last cycle, when you posted a picture of Alessandra in lingerie, followed by a picture of Alessandra in lingerie which ultimately lead to your elimination. Yes. Same thing here. In your first week's picture, we saw Oluchi in a bikini, with her legs in water. In this picture, we see Oluchi in a bikini, with her legs in water. If it were a swimsuit in a different setting, different pose, I'd be a LOT more lenient towards this, but it's not. So far, Oluchi is a one hit wonder, and I am not impressed at all.

Yeah, I also have a problem with how incredibly similar this is to your last shot and unfortunately, that'll show in my scoring, but that said, I like this shot better than your original. You have much better fashion and posing in your current shot. It's tied to the theme well enough, too. I would love this shot so much more if it had been the first time we had seen you in this type of shot.

Quoting the other judges you definitely want to stay away from the title of being a "one hit wonder." I too would like to see a different side to you with some fashion, alternative scenery and overall look. Your description is appreciated I enjoy the insight you have given us into how your model is representing a African Goddess rather than pointing out the obvious you have given new meaning to the fashion and the scenery. A pass from me today, but I'm looking for an A+ next time!
