Morgan gave you a simple, but also somewhat challenging photoshoot this time. The photoshoot is challenging because it can easily be very safe. Let's see how we all go!

All Class:
Kate: Blue
Janice: Your eyebrows are really striking here, and really add another dimension to the photograph. Bathed in blue light, the picture is almost Buffy-esque. Serene and graceful are some things we can see here. However, I'm not really seeing blue in the fashion choice you made.
Morgan: Morgan: Janice hit the nail on the head with the connection to Buffy. You look relatable, young, inquisitive and strong here. I'm enjoying the modern Barbie doll look and the almost third world atmosphere that the blue setting generates. The love heart shape of your shoulders and upper body is unique and I am seeing a connection to the colour blue in your face and eyes. As Janice mentioned some consistency with blue in your fashion and in other methods would have been great to see.
C. Viper: Ok, so we can see what your color is by the lighting. Not my favorite lighting, but it works for the shoot. Your expression is perfect for the color you've chosen, and you're styled nicely, but if I have to nitpick, I'd just have to say that I'm just not really wowed by the shot.

Behati: Pink
Morgan: Lalalalala PINK! My real life alter ego's favourite colour. This photo looks fun, flirty and girly which are all characteristics which represent the colour pink. I like the coy, seductive and playful look which is captured on your face. It looks as if this type of innocent sex appeal comes naturally to you in your modelling and your nature. I would like to see you strengthening out beyond that in your future photos, trialling out different personas. An effective sweet and simple photo!
Janice: Pink! The classic representations of the colour pink are all present: Sexiness, femininity, flirtiness, sweetness and a bit of cheekiness. Present in the background and the bra. My complaint here, maybe too safe.
C. Viper: A nice shot. The color is well-represented here and it definitely fits the vibe of the shot. As seems to be a recurring theme this shoot, it's lacking a wow factor, but at least you have an embodiment of your color as well as it just being represented.

Rodrigo: Gold
Morgan: My Rodrigo! I didn't know that you were Xerxes in 300, a favourite movie of mine - it gets the chicks. You look magnificently tall and grand here. Your body stature is strong and powerful. I can see gold in the setting and in your pose, a very god almighty rich pose. The downside to this photo is the distance, which steals any facial modelling that was going on. An important aspect of modelling is the face, make sure this is always visible. Fashion also plays a strong role here in the many accessories and scattered clothing of yours.
Janice: Here is a prime example of how a promotional still should be used. It's really something different. Breathtaking even. I really like this one, no complaints.
C. Viper: Like Morgan, I would have liked to have seen your face better. This is another case of someone really embodying their chosen color rather than just posing with a color that sticks out. The use of accessories is done well here. Not really much else to say. Good job.

Lily: White
Morgan: There are quite a few things that I enjoy about this photo. Even though your modelling could make the photo look still, there are so many other elements which contribute to this being an active photo. The pouring of the milk, your luscious red hair and the curvature of your fashion. I enjoy the concept of you representing white purity, innocence which you have achieved well with the overall execution of this photo. The splash of a strong red also contributes to the virgin element and I mean this in the most analytical way possible. Your modelling does look a little bit dead, but still is effective in the large scale of this photo.
Janice: Overall, I like the feeling of the picture. The styling is very high fashion, and I like the tinge of pink on the skin to compliment the fire red hair. That being said, it feels very out of place in a colours photoshoot with such a large and bright contrast between the red, and your chosen colour.
C. Viper: Your bright red hair sticking out in a sea of white bothers me in the sense that it detracts from the theme of the photoshoot a bit. That said, I love everything else about the shot. Hair aside, the photo is so completely white and has great details to look for in the shot. You spilling the milk is a nice touch. Great dress, interesting choices for the posing, and just an overall strong shot. You've represented your color well and have given us a shot to pique our interest, too.

Red: Red
Morgan: Wow this is Red saturation! The colour red is clearly a strong element which is excellent and you are flaunting some impressive alternative fashion to Red Ridinghood's usual garments. I like the detailed forest environment behind you etched in red and the devilish red eyes of your companion - is that a flask and a bottle of vodka that he is carrying?? Your eyes are capturing and draw the viewer in, they also provide a stark difference to the red that's all around. I would have liked to see this photo to be zoomed out so I can see more of your modelling as most of your limbs are cut off or non-existent.
Janice: Morgan! I hope you're not drinking! That is one of the stupidest things you could do! Especially before judging on my panel! That counts for you too Missy! You're here to model, not drink!
Anyway, I perhaps would've liked to see a description so I could know what was going through your mind here. It's really, very, very blatantly red. Sexualised and lustful is what I get from your pose, but the face not so much.
C. Viper: *Hides my drink*
I don't think anyone's going to be surprised with the model you chose to use for this shoot, but if you have something that works, you use it. Like Morgan said, there's an over-saturation of red, but for this shoot, that's completely fine. I think the fact that the wolf's eyes are red is a nice added touch to the shot. You look good in it, but if I can to complain about something, it would be that I don't feel you embody your color with this shot. Other than that, it's very solid work.

Tilda: Rust Orange
Morgan: Tilda you look quite versatile here. I am enjoying your modelling and fashion to the max. Your neck looks deliciously long and the rest of your body looks like a beautiful package that you are going to reveal. Your dress looks amazing, very detailed, rich and yet antique. Both yourself and the dress scream of deep colour be it gold or rust. The seriousness in your face works, however your lips look a little too pursed for my liking.
Janice: Using a magazine cover for a non-magazine shoot is risky, luckily, this isn't a very obvious cover. I can see orange all around. Orange seems to be a very hard colour to emote. I love the angle of your face here, and I adore the clothes and the bracelet.
C. Viper: I would have said it was Bronze and called it a day (but calling it Orange works cause of your hair and the dress' color isn't that far removed from it). I am in love with your dress. And I love the way your hair is styled; it just fills that dramatic collar. Someone definitely put a lot of thought into the way this shot would look and it shows.

Lotus:
Lindsay: Seafoam Green
Morgan: Another contestant who has added another dimension to their photo with the use of a descriptive word for their colour. This is a nice gentle green you are representing which is evident in the calm and soft nature of the setting. Your dress looks fish like (hear me out) with the design portraying fins and spines of ocean fish. Although your skin looks incredible I'm not a big fan of your posing here. Your bottom hand and foot are both cut off and the other two limbs connect in an awkward angle. You have a beautiful face but the parting of your lips in that manner brings on a look of slight disgust rather than serenity or peacefulness.
Team Microwave:Maleficent: Black
Morgan:First things first, I love the boob tease that's going on. Yes Maleficent you and I are both aware that you possess les boobies. You certainly give off the evil black vibe (literally look at that smoke) with your veins even being saturated with pure evil. Your makeup is quite impressive and dramatic which helps to give angles to your face. The modelling that's going on in your face is great, I can literally see you breathing in and generating tension in your face. My main concern with this photo is the similarity with the previous photoshoot - both shoulder up beauty shots, similar setting, styling and posing. You don't want to be a one hit wonder now.
Janie: Going for two beauty shots in a row - very risky, Maleficent. I can see the evil blackness consuming you like a heartless. You have some amazing bone structure in your face. Especially those cheekbones. Listen to Morgan, you don't want to be a one-hit wonder.
C. Viper: In terms of this shoot alone, this is a great shot. You embody your color, you look great in it, et cetera, et cetera. I do have to touch on the similarity to your last shot. With the structure of the game, you don't get too many chances to show us variety with your models since you're forced to use your team evenly and that amounts to 5, maybe 6 shots you'll use of a certain model if you get to the end. Two similar shots in a row isn't going to get me to hold it against you. Two is a coincidence, three is a trend. So, please be careful the next time you use Maleficent in a shoot, to give us something different to look at. In any event, you should have nothing to worry about. You have a great character design that leads to very strong lines that are shown off well here.

Miley: Jungle Green
Morgan: I appreciate how you described your colour as being jungle green, it brings an entirely new dimension to the photo. The action going on is great, I love the wild crazy vibe that you are showcasing in your face, modelling and swirl of your dress - that dress is beautiful by the way. The dress does consume your body although which limits your ability to model from the bust down, the dress does a lot of the modelling for you. The expression on your face is powerful, and is borderline ugly ugly not ugly model.
Janice: I can see the fierce and wildness of jungle green here. I really like the fashion, but I think the face is too much past ugly-pretty to just plain ugly. I can definitely appreciate the colour, the energy and the fashion in this though.
C. Viper: Unlike the other judges, your face doesn't bother me this time. I guess it's because I feel it fits well-enough with the action of the shot that it's justified. Your color is well-displayed here and had I not read your brief description, I might not have seen how your actions tied into the color, but you had some smart word choice there that ties it in very well. I don't really have any negatives about your shot here. Good work.

Kate: Emerald Green
Morgan: The elements of this photo that stand out to me the most is your banging body and the beautiful fashion that you are flaunting. Your dress is a perfect image of emerald green and has life within it with the flowing tail. The over the shoulder pose looks good on you a very royal pose which brings out the contours of your face. My main issue with this photo is it appears to be too safe, showcasing risks and creativity is a love of mine.
Janice: You look as rich and expensive as an emerald here, and that really works in favour of your colour choice. Love the fashion, and I love the face. But I'm inclined to agree with Morgan, it definitely feels safe.
C. Viper: Green is my favorite color and that is my favorite shade of it. I love the dress and I love the motion of it. I was also wondering if the shot was too safe, though. I feel like I've seen it before. I actually thought you were Charlize Theron for a second when I first saw this shot cause I feel like I've seen this same shot (in a different color) from her. Still, you've met the parameters of the challenge well and there's nothing inherently wrong with the shot. Just could use a bit more oomph.
