Aked



1. Boytoy11:

2. carlosantino:

3. Ellis: Maganda ang postura mo dito. Ngunit, nababagabag ako sapagkat para sa akin, hindi mo yata naunawaang mabuti ang konsepto para sa linggong ito. Parang nawala ka.

4. Evian_Yohann: Your photo is beautiful, it is warm, peaceful and all that stuff. You showed skill, talent and everything but didn’t quite impress me. Paparazzi will surely fall asleep…and they will leave you too. (well, to get out of the miserable paparazzi obsession is always been a good thing though).

5. Juls2: Same Concept w/ CJ My question to both is if you understood this week's concept? I am disturbed in how you interpreted the concept. This is not a week for exercising in the park. Rating: Poor execution.

6. lenin: Well. You certainly was trying to hide frome the paparazzi while doing your early morning exercise? Contrived though. Its so very obvious. You weren't actually trying to hide yourself, but perhaps trying to show some new yoga techniques?

7. nonsense:

8. rotogold: You looked so relaxed and natural in your setting. I do not know if this is true to the theme, and what you were trying to do when this photo was taken and it seems it might work. You may have exerted a very contrived pose but I liked the way you played with your eyes. You are safe with this.

9. SayNO: i can see that you guys both asked the help of the same photographer who sure doesnt know bout framing nor focusing the models face. not at all entertained that your photos look alike..all i see is green green green.i dont think you undestood the "paparazzi/celebrity shot" both are good as voyeur fetish photos.am sorry. i have to be blunt but you guys really have to think out of the box. your photographer weas way good at making the plant covering you head look interesting.

10. toyan: the theme is not about fitness...paparazzi shots arestolen... but it looks like uve posed too much for this one... ur photo looks like an advertisement for gatorade.. for me .. its not good..

11. yoh_asakura: the pilates instructor. Great effort for the pose! Elastic! You look like a hottie instructor being observed inside your garden wherein you're at the comforts of your residence. Paparazzi shots are not just taken on the streets! There are also celebrity stolen shots taken from their vacation especially sometimes on the beach or even at their homes where their secrets can be revealed through photos. You really stretched your self to the limits to have a new idea about the concept! But theres just a little problem with your facial reaction, you should look good even at your worse , be aware that somebody's might looking at you.

12. zavier.angel: Nawala ang mukha mo at naging sentro ng litrato ang nakatiwarik na daliri ng iyong mga paa. Wala akong makitang high-fashion. Wala rin akong makitang "modelo".

13. ZephyrInTheS: I like the body angle. I think your facial expression needs more work again though. Even though yoga is supposed to center you and make you less tense, you could still have upped the intensity. This is a good photo though. Not sure though if it's good enough to beat the competition.

1. Boytoy11:

2. carlosantino:

3. Ellis: Kawangis ng larawan ni Aked, maganda ang postura ngunit wala akong makitang "high fashion" rito. Malayo sa tema.

4. Evian_Yohann: Uhmm… your photo is a pazzi shot definitely. Out of the entire bunch, this is the most simple yet photographic wise, lovable. But then, I think if Tyra or Karolina could react at this photo, they will proly say, “The paparazzi will go away for good.”

5. Juls2: Same Concept w/ AKED My question to both is if you understood this week's concept? I am disturbed in how you interpreted the concept. This is not a week for playing in the park. Rating: Poor understanding of the concept but better execution than Aked.

6. lenin: I like it. Not exactly hiding but you put out that show of not being aware and the expression is quite beautiful. You were caught in your unguarded moment. Nice.

7. nonsense:

8. rotogold: Round by round you are constantly revealing yourself in such a way that you are telling us that you are in for the big haul. You may have been caught skateboarding topless, and I will ignore that on purpose because I find it "macho". You have been always daring and I find it very consistent in all your previous submissions. Now,I have to say now, this is outstanding. You have my vote.

9. SayNO: i can see that you guys both asked the help of the same photographer who sure doesnt know bout framing nor focusing the models face. not at all entertained that your photos look alike..all i see is green green green.i dont think you undestood the "paparazzi/celebrity shot" both are good as voyeur fetish photos.am sorry. i have to be blunt but you guys really have to think out of the box.

10. toyan: another pic that is out of the concept... the round is prey of paparazzi.. not tony hawk look alike... u better stick to the concept... ur last wk's photo was great.... this one is .. not good...

11. yoh_asakura: the extreme games champ. Unbelievable shot u have! You really look and feel like a pro!You evidently took risk for the pose, i really like it, the breathtaking scene being caught by the camera! The fusion of drama and action in your face and body synergized for great impact!

12. zavier.angel: Mas maganda sana ito kung lumapit nang kaunti ang kamera. Mas malinaw ang pahilis na bakal kaysa mukha mo. Mahusay na konseptong nauwi sa wala.

13. ZephyrInTheS: At first I wasn't really digging the whole bunched up body pose, but I began to like it as soon as I noticed how good your arm and leg extensions look. I like the intensity in your eyes too. It's very powerful, and I think based on your past photos your look is definitely one of your strong points.

claydoh



1. Boytoy11:

2. carlosantino:

3. Ellis: Fabulosa. Sa mata mo, kitang-kita na mataray ka. Deadma lang sa mga paparazzi. Ngunit itong larawan na ito ay ang mga larawan ay parang nakikita sa "E! News Weekend" o kaya "The Insider"

4. Evian_Yohann: This photo is beyond glamorous. This photo is almost perfect if you could just relax your ring as well as your index finger. My first glimpse, I was elatedly blown away and then 2 seconds after, I became bothered by you know what. Try to be a bearable fag, unless you want to be the next Danny Noriega (victim of TMZ).

5. Juls2: Fab! You look like a star in this picture. I love the expression on your face showing that you are disgusted by the paparazzi and yet your pose is elegant. Rating: Your best this competition.

6. lenin: Perhaps the most glamorous of the bunch. The expression is intense and there's that "duh stay away from my face" yet "look at me Im so fab than all of you". Very well shot and certainly showing off your fashion style. I like the lil bohemian throw with the shawl there and the glamour look with the tote bag. Winner.

7. nonsense:

8. rotogold: This is really a paparazzi pose! And you have shown how peeved you are when they had 'taken" your photos. I must say that this is really fabulous. But taken within the context of the others, I will say that this is just safe.

9. SayNO: kudos for making it look like an actual paparazzi photo.am not sure if it's model enough though. i have to give you credit for lookin tall here though.

10. toyan: its fantabulous!!! whoa!!! i love that victoria beckham appeal in u!! bravo bravo!!!! definitely my #1 for this wk..

11. yoh_asakura: the fashion designer. At first glimpse, it really seems like a celebrity escaping the press, the gestures and projection are almost perfect but too see it more closely, the camera caught a lady trapped inside a man's body.You should embody a masculine type of presence. I just don't like the hands and fingers flying. Be more cautious with your accessories.The concept you used is so common! In fairness, the facial features are very much powerful!

12. zavier.angel: Maganda pero isanlibo't isang beses ko nang nakita ang ganitong "nakaw na eksena" sa mga artista ng Hollywood at maging sa Pilipinas.

13. ZephyrInTheS: Love it! You're right up there with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Hehe. You've got fabulous and fierce eyes, and I love the pouty lip. Good body angle too. It's a great photo.

crazycrepe



1. Boytoy11:

2. carlosantino:

3. Ellis: Hindi ka naman galit nyan? Kita sa iyong mga mata na bwisit na bwisit ka na sa mga paparazzi. Maganda ang konsepto, ngunit gaya ng kay Claydoh, ang larawang ito ay parang sa mga larawang ipinapakita sa mga showbiz programs.

4. Evian_Yohann: Your photo is kinda ok, cliché actually. You consistently passed predictable concepts. And for this round, I’ve had enough. Be kind to paparazzi, they will haunt you down until your career succumbed. Like celebrities says, they’re just a fan, give them a smile. Unreservedly, TMZ will make this a headline

5. Juls2: Crazycrepe what happened? This is another mediocre performance like the Laborer and Virgin Suicide photoshoot. I do not see a model but just an ordinary person being mobbed by a paparazzi who I think is just a mistaken identity. Rating. You need yo step up your game.

6. lenin: Your face shows annoyance at being photograpped, but your body language says otherwise. Looks too contrived saved by that annoyed look in your face.

7. nonsense:

8. rotogold: I really like you. I really love your previous entries. But what happened here? I do not know if there is something missing or you have lost the drive to continue. Honestly, the photo is "dry". Where is the heat in you? Maybe, I am missing your sex appeal?

9. SayNO: weak.weak.weak. i have said you have potential. but it sure is fading now.

10. toyan: u cudve done better... this is not ur best... u sticked to the concept... that's a check... but.. wers d star appeal?? ur being chased by paparazzoos..

11. yoh_asakura: the rnb prince.Photo is not that clear. There should have been more luminescences present in your entry especially if your portraying to be a star thus having a lot of photographers hunting you. Projections and choice of clothes were also too common.

12. zavier.angel: Isang mahusay na litratong nawalan ng kinang sanhi ng gasgas na konsepto.

13. ZephyrInTheS: This is a relatively simple photo, but I like it. I love the anger you're showing in your face, which is somewhat balanced by the relatively relaxed angle of your body. It's like you're pissed off but too tired to do anything about. The photo is great.

john ralph



1. Boytoy11:

2. carlosantino:

3. Ellis: Gusto kong bilhin yung damit! Ito ang tipong fashion shot na pwedeng ilagay sa fashion magazine. Dito, ipinapakita mo ang ganda ng iyong kasuotan. Magaling!

4. Evian_Yohann: This photo for me is actually not a pazzi photo. It looked like a shot at a prestigious awards night or premiere. If that’s what it is, then it is an ordinary photo took by someone who could be a fashion, magazine / tabloid, even a pro photographer. You overworked. This will not be on TMZ.

5. Juls2: John Ralph again you stepped up your game because last week I was not a fan. This is well conceptualized but I always see that you are more concious of making the clothes you wear stand out. You are the one being judged so think first of yourself and then the clothes you are wearing. Rating: Better than last week.

6. lenin: Theres no doubt you can model clothes. But this pic here is a disappointment as compared to your previous ones. The face just ruined it for you… its like.. "Yo! Look at me" thus, ruined the moment.

7. nonsense:

8. rotogold: What can I say? Very fabulous indeed! I almost did not recognize you. Am I really looking at the fierce John Ralph? The photo showed moderation. You must have been listening to the previous comments. But I find it 'just safe' because I cannot sense any "strong" emotions. You are enjoying the attention the paparazzi really desire.

9. SayNO: too posed. too robotic it doesnt have the spontanaeity i was looking for. you are starting to look stiff. do better next week. you are better than the uban cowboy that i see in your photo.

10. toyan: GOOD!!! ur pic is lovely... i love it...

11. yoh_asakura: the 80's sensation. The effort and quality is obvious but in some point, your entry looked overdone. The photo implies to me that your trying to escape the media so that your pretty painted face wont be publicized. It is also noticeable that your pose is too-scripted.

12. zavier.angel: Ikaw ang pinakamasikap sa lahat ng modelo na ibahin ang iyong anyo sa bawat litrato. Dagdag pa, pinagyayaman mo lagi ang sining ng potograpiya sa iyong kapuri-puring mga konsepto.

13. ZephyrInTheS: This is an OK photo, but definitely not my favorite of yours. You're working the clothes as usual, but I wish you had a bit more fierceness in your eyes. I'm missing the intensity that was there in your past photos.

warlocke



1. Boytoy11:

2. carlosantino:

3. Ellis: Ikaw ba yan? Ibang-iba ang hitsura mo rito. Unti-unting gumaganda ang iyong mga larawan. Maganda ang mga mata mo rito.

4. Evian_Yohann: the best one out of the bunch! And, what’s amazing is that it is one of the finest photos of the competition. You look natural and effectual, handsome and manly. Beyond doubt, this is your saving grace…welcome to the competition. “Simple yet innately lip-smacking” TMZ will love you. Obtw, I remember David Cook in your photo.

5. Juls2: Again I did not recognize you in this picture which is a good thing but you faded compared to John Ralph's execution. The camera on the side is not even ready to take shots of you. It looks like you just passed by in a coffee shop and the real prey is inside. Rating: Common.

6. lenin: Nice photo. But the mustache looks a bit off. But other than that, this shot is great. The eyes are just fierce and warn of something nasty if ever those pazzis gets any closer. Right on!

7. nonsense:

8. rotogold: Now, you are showing some stuff. I liked the irritation, the challenging stare. I got distracted by the camera in front, there was really no need for that, but then, that is just a minor distraction. Rugged, and this time, Warlocke has disappeared. In his place came a very irritated "star". Congratulations.

9. SayNO: i love how the concept was thought off. but this isn't a really flattering angle of you. a model friend once said, at all times never ever waste an inch or film or space in a photographers memory card. if this was the best out of your photos, i really wouldnt wanna see ther rest

10. toyan: FINALLY!! ur learnin!! i love ur pic in dis round... hot... and.. yeah the concept is der.... good job!!! ur expression is just ryt for dis round...

11. yoh_asakura: the caffeine slave. There is a relaxed dynamics! That what i can figure out from your entry.This is one of your clear shots showing the features you should be proud of. The only word which makes your story boring is the lack of action. You may have my vote!

12. zavier.angel: Eksakto ang larawang ito sa hinahanap ng tema. Malinaw din ang subteksto ng modelo: "Ituloy mo iyan at sasabuyan kita ng kumukulong kape!" Napakainteresante ng larawang ito.

13. ZephyrInTheS: This is your best photo so far. I could hardly recognize you. Your body angle is relatively laid back, but what I loved about the photo is the intensity in your eyes, which is something that was missing in your past photos. You improved a lot in this round.
