Photoshoot #1

[Sizzling Sexpots]

Potential

I love how he shows some style while still maintaining a comfortable attitude.

Smile

Even I admit Channing Tatum has some odd smiles, but I really liked this one.

Basic

I love how this shows an older, more sophisticated, more confident Angel.

Simon, the face is great, but the body is boring. I understand that's male modelling, but it still doesn't change that. I know you have a lot in store for us though.

Channing, not the best smile, I don't like it. The blue filter takes away from it a bit. If you have photoshop, just run auto-colour over it, it makes it much better. Seek out a fansite gallery for him if you can find one. It'll help you.

Angel, this is going to be hard for you. I had trouble finding your avatar and memory wall picture - being a comic panel and a naked picture respectively. Remember to use all your resources - Deviantart is a big one for you - search tags include Angel X-Men and Warren Worthington, also check the collections featuring him. I see you've used the Avengers Alliance image of Angel for this shoot. I am a player of this game, so I know that there's actually a very large image of this picture. If you were to get it, crop it down to just the face, then this would've been a good shot for you. In it's current state, it's so-so

I'll show you what I mean:



We can see your features clearly here, especially your strong bone structure.

Thanks again, sorry for all the mistakes this round but definitely if I'm around after this round will for sure use your guidance!

Simon - I can sense your potential from afar, but thats the problem the photo has such distance that your features are hard to make out. It looks like a test photo where you are standing on set whilst the photographer is preparing the setting.

Channing - I'm a fan of yours and your smile but you haven't shown your best side here. Like a different submission from a different player this looks like a screengrab photo from a movie rather than a photo where you are trying to sell us your smile.

Angel - A photo like the one Janice posted would have allowed us to see your natural beauty in your face which is what we are looking for here. Like Simon the photo you submitted has got me at a distance wondering from afar what kind of potential you hold.

Simon
Such a handsome man and I love your styling. Unfortunately, I don't like the posing; you look a bit bored.

What?! Am I boring you or something?! I'm not here to entertain you and be a clown! Cut it out or you're in for a world of pain!!!

In any event, I see some potential here, but as a rule of thumb, full body shots, I like to be on the larger side (but within reason; don' want to have to scroll to see all of a shot). Tighter shots can be a bit on the smaller side.


Channing
Seeing all these gorgeous men this season makes me sad I'm single. Oh, why can't I keep a boyfriend?

Because you're ugly and you let people run all over you.

Why are you so mean? Anyway, back to Channing. It's definitely a beautiful smile and feels natural, but unfortunately, it's because it feels like a candid shot someone took of you while you were smiling. Bump up the production quality for us in the future.


Angel
When it comes to height, the picture is a bit too small and as the other judges have already commented, it wasn't tight enough for a beauty shot. I do like the level of detail put into the shot, though. There is potential. It'll just be a matter of whether you can keep up with the learning curve using a tough character like Angel.
