#1 – Nastasia’s Nine West Shot

Somehow despite this cycle having two gorgeously artistic photoshoots (waterfall and black & wide nudes), my favourite shot is the most commercial shoot. I feel that just proves how perfectly executed this photoshoot was, from the styling to the location, and most to the performances of the models. Nastasia is just everything in this photo. Easily one of the strongest commercial images any NTM has produced. Actually, I am struggling to remember any that come anywhere as close to perfection as this.

#9 – Kristin’s Nine West Shot

There were so many brilliant photos from this shoot. And pretty much all of them felt like actual ads. I just think that Kristin’s shot has such a fresh vibe, that only her and Nastasia really managed. It is cute and young, and I am sure a lot of girls would see that ad and want those shoes.

#2 – Brittany’s Black and White Nude Shot

I still don’t kow what it is about this photo that works for me, but it just absolutely shines.There are so many details that shouldn’t work, like the tension in the hand, and the prominent nostrils, but they just mesh together so well. I don’t think it is necessarily the strongest modelling, but I just don’t care when the end product is this gorgeous.

#4 – Laura’s Zombie Shot

I know Laura’s steampunk shot is most people’s iconic choice for the cycle, but for me this was the stronger shot. I love the ferocity she brought to this photoshoot. Most photos ended up slightly campy in their portrayal, but this is pure editorial brilliance.

#6 – Nastasia’s Motel Shot

Nastasia is stunning here. I just think she has this high fashion editorial lankiness here. Her limbs feel disproportionate in a fashionable way. This was the moment in the competition I knew my love for Nastasia was totally deserved: she proved she wasn’t just a stunning girl, but an actual model.

#8 – Nastasia’s Waterfall Shot

I feel this photo gets fiercely underrated. It isn’t as naturally pretty as some other shots, but Nastasia looks like a more modern take on the concept. I don’t think her face ever looked more gorgeous, and her body is absolutely killer. I would definitely hang this on my walls, it truly looks like a piece of art.

#10 – Nastasia’s River Raft Shot

Wow. Nastasia looks absolutely amazing here. She is stunningly sexy, and just owns the scene. I don’t even look at the any of the other people in the shot. Of all the first call-outs Nastasia received, this was the only one I 100% agreed with.
