Photoshoot 5- Duos (Couture)

[Evan Rachel Wood]

[Sonam Kapoor]

Sonam: I don't like the setting especially the background. This would look good with a white background. But other than the cheap background, I think you look wonderful. I love the styling and the pose. Very strong face expression and this is high fashion for me

[Brody Jenner]

I don't really like this photo. The dress looks awkward on you, hiding your beauty. And I have to agree with Sonam on the background, it makes the whole photo look cheap.

[Amanda Kimmel]

I'll third the background - it robs the photo of the theme, or a potential story. I don't like the hair because it's a bit too retro meets... alien? (I don't even like mine like that). It also looks like you haven't completely put on your dress, and I don't like that. I do however like your facial expression and the pose (and I do like the dress too, it just looks like the sleeve is in front of you and that's bad in my opinion). But overall... I'm mixed about it.

[Tom Welling]

Tom: I actually like this a lot. Very model like and very well done. The dress looks like someone wrapped you up and i wouldnt mind getting you under my christmas tree

[Mandy Moore]

Well, too bad you're on the naughty list, Tom.

I'm a bit ambivalent on this photo. I think that it's definitely couture, and on that aspect alone you've totally nailed your theme. Personally, I don't give a toss about the background. Sure, it's a one-color background, but we've had first callouts with pure white backgrounds before. What does get me is the size. With a small picture size, it's a lot harder to take in the finer points, and can cause us judges to miss things. That being said, your hair and makeup are epicly couture, and your outfit is perfectly suited for your theme. The pose is a bit awkward, and your skin seems eerily white, to the point where I'm subconsciously reaching for my neck in case you decide to suck my blood through your fangs. All in all, a great effort.
