Hello Final 5!!!
Welcome to your last judging session before the finale next week.
Let's start with the judging session now!!!
Jared: It never amazes me how many guys don't submit shaved pictures for the shave gel L'Oreal lol You're not alone as you saw so no worries. I love your face in this. The connection with the camera is amazing. Your semi little smirk is cute. The bicep to the right. I like this a lot.
Natalia: The angle is a lit bit weird. The right side feel so empty because you lean towards the left side more. I do like your face. I still think a clean-shaved face is more suitable but this photo isn't bad at all.
Gwen: This shot is a little too asymmetrical for my taste. While some facial hair in a shot for shaving cream can be fine, it's as long as the facial hair looks purposely styled. To me, the facial hair feels just a bit too messy for this shoot. On the positive side, I do like the way your hair is styled and you have a good, commercial pose for the shoot. Had the theme been a hair product, this would have been a stronger shot.
Jared: I'm not a huge fan of this, maybe coming from Alex who looks so natural is why, not sure. Actually it's your siggy which I prefer lol I do like your eyes and the connection with the camera though. And I don't feel you did the worse either.
Natalia: I love the styling and how your eyes captured my heart. I think it's so sexy but I expected cleaner face since this is a shaving cream advertisement. I think you look hot but cleaner face would be more suitable. Overall, I still like this photo
Gwen: I'm having a hard time with this one as I keep typing, deleting, and retyping what I feel about this photo. I do see a commercial value to the photo, but would have liked a bit more polish with it. The facial hair does look styled (which shows off the product), but I feel could have been a bit more stylized. I do like your overall styling for the shot, though. Overall, I do like this photo, but there were a few aspects that could have had slight improvements to make this a winning photo.
Jared: Thanks for the examples, I didn't know that which is funny because I prefer for this ad a direct connection with the camera and now I see, so do they lol I like this picture a lot. Your eyes are captivating. Good job.
Natalia: You convinced me, Matty. I love this. I think you look wonderful and your eyes connection are strong. I really like this photo. It's very commercial and you sell the product well
Gwen: Of all the men who submitted photos with facial hair, your shot looks like the one styled with the most purpose. You skin also looks great and this is a fantastic commercial shot.
Jared: I like that your skin is clear, no stubble, but I hate how orange you look. Your expression kind of lost me as well
Sorry.
Natalia: The first thing I noticed about this photo is your attitude. You're not just standing there but also inject your personality in this photo. I like the styling and you have the cleanest face among the models. Great job
Gwen: I really like the styling of this photo and I can see the product at work here. The vibe of the shot is a little too high-fashion for my taste which is my only real problem with the photo since I wanted to see a commercial shot since this is for an ad. Otherwise, it's a very good shot.
Jared: I also like how smooth your skin is, no stubble. I don't mind facial hair for this, but a cleaner no stubble beard would have done everyone better, you and Nicholas at least gave us nothing but smooth skin. I like that you're touching your chin to show a smooth clean shave. BUT I don't like how pink your hand looks and how you look to have so much air brushing done that the picture actually kind of looks fake I wish you would have cropped to show just your fingertips and face. I would have loved it more.
Natalia: I just can't help to notice that the blending between you and the background is a little bit off. It reminds me of the cheap magazine for the teenagers. Other than that, I love your skin. Flawless and very clean. It's definitely going to help you
Gwen: You definitely have the smoothest skin out of all the models this round. I can't help but agree with Natalia that this does look a bit like a shot for a teen magazine, though. The styling is passable and the pose is definitely stronger.
