Alright models, it's judging time...
The Deliberation for the winner of Challenge 1
The fate of the models lies in one mystery judge invited by the blog author. Since the judge is familiar with the models, s/he was asked to be as impartial as he could be. Thankfully, he lent his expertise for free (woohoo) allowing for the winning model to receive two prizes. While deliberating, the judge was quarantined from the models.
With that, let's start with the recap of Challenge 1. As we have close interaction with our clients, it was important to look cheerful even when s/he do not feel like being lil miss sunshine. This challenge was designed to test the skill of the models' ability to appear happy in the photographs. The models were asked to convey their most happiest smile without looking directly at the camera resulting in a "candid" shot.
The Models
The challenge was to "look happy". The positive thing about this photo is that it conveys peacefulness. Unfortunately, we are looking for top-of-the-world happy instead of calm contentment. Her aura was too calm. Although Kaye is naturally classy, she ought to have found a way to appear ridiculously happy in a classy way.
According to the judge, the model doesn't look happy... just cute. It seems that he didn't give his 100% on this challenge. The judge appreciated his effort to show the "teasing" side of him. But sadly, it didn't pay off.
The judge feel that the smile is too unrealistic as if "someone made her smile". The model's forced smile didn't sit well with the judge. Amazingly, it was cartoony leaning to sexy. It seems actress-y in a way that didn't win her the vote of the judge.
It's the same case for this one, her smile didn't reach her eyes. "She looks scared!" said the dismayed judge. Nery felt self-conscious about her dentals that she was half-way between a toothy grin and a toothless smile. The judge suggests that even with bad teeth, the model should have played up her other assets such her skin and eyes.The Winner
Loraine is the winner of our challenge. Her smile looks natural and her eyes sparkled as if she was truly happy when the photo was taken. Even if she wasn't, she totally fooled the judge. "She showed us what happiness is," said the judge. This was the only where the happiness shines beyond the photo and into the real world.
