5. Simone & Bianca’s Night Club Shot

I just love the cohesiveness of this shot, everything about the clothing, the makeup, and the girls’ poses meshes together so well. Simone’s head tilt and laid back badassery plays brilliantly off of Bianca’s up and down posture and fierce stare, and both contestants are serving bone structure for days. This was such a strong partnership and the resulting shot is amazing!

10. Bianca’s Trampoline Shot

Props to Bianca for producing such a dynamic and exciting photo! The control she had over all of her limbs as well as her face is seriously impressive, and she took flight with ease. With some different styling I could totally see this as a Nike advertisement.

Bianca

Place: 7th

My call-out average: 5.5

Panel call-out average: 5.4

Favorite Photo: Trampoline Shot

Least Favorite Photo: Daisy Dixon Watches Shot

I was really rooting for Bianca to do well in the competition since I was a fan of her look from the start. While her tattoos may have been a limitation for certain clients they still looked amazing, and she had a beautiful face that could work well for both high fashion and commercial modeling. I even ended up liking her makeover, the short dark hair greatly complimented her face. Bianca’s portfolio was pretty strong as a whole, and she generally had upward momentum week to week until her exit. Her Trampoline shot was magnificent, and she impressed me in the Garnier and Night Club photoshoots as well. However, the overarching problem was that her poses came across as stiff a lot of the time, even in some of her best showings. On top of that she dropped the ball at the worst time with her Watch shot, stumbling when many of the remaining girls were major contenders. I can’t argue against Bianca’s elimination too hard, but I think she had a couple more weeks left in her based on her overall performance.

7. Bianca

Bianca tumbled down dramatically this week. Her expression is a weird mix of surprise/disgust/fear/failed seduction. Her eyes are flicked too far to the side and there’s so much discomfort in her overly tensed mouth and even in her hand placed on the bar. In the grand scheme of things it definitely wasn’t Bianca’s week to leave, but I can see why she was eliminated since she turned in the weakest shot.

Bianca soared right to the top of the pack this week! Her pose is so exhilarating and almost superhero-esque. I also love how her tattoos look in this shot. Her chiseled bone structure is gorgeous in profile, and the power and determination in her eyes is spectacular. The only problem is the styling; she had one of the worst dresses and it appears ill-fitting. Just slap some sportswear on her instead and you have an athletic ad campaign ready to go! Bianca blew me away this week!

Bianca’s portion of this shot (which is probably my overall favorite pairing of the week) is quite strong, but she would’ve fully crushed it if she had relaxed those tightly puckered lips. The tension is slightly distorting the lower half of her face, but she still photographed beautifully. Her eyes are super intense, and even though she didn’t do a ton with her body she hit her pose with power and conviction. Despite some flaws, it’s my favorite shot from Bianca so far.

Bianca’s face is so gorgeous in this shot. She has a stellar natural smile and her skin is glowing. It’s a bummer that her body doesn’t match the strength of her face. She raised her shoulders too high (causing her neck to sink into her collarbones), and the hand on Eleanor’s leg is a bit awkward. Bianca was the strongest in this group for me, but I don’t think she did enough to earn the FCO at panel due to the aforementioned flaws.

I immediately get a sense of strain from Bianca’s photo and it’s a little uncomfortable to look at. The pinched corners of her mouth are so tight, her neck extension is overly forced, and there’s a pained expression in her eyes. The rest of her pose is alright, though she’s clutching that lollipop for dear life. Bianca seriously needed to relax and this likely would’ve been fine.
