Shoot 10

[Liv Tyler]

Hello, judges!

Well, to be honest, I found this shoot incredibly frustrating. I figured it'd be a final three again, so I spent hours searching for good Covergirl and Red Carpet shots, because I figured that was all I'd need. (That's what I get for assumptions, though. My own fault. ) But, dangit, it's a final two. I've been getting third to January and Rachel in almost every shoot, so that right there is frustrating enough.

But then when it came to action, I realized something. I had a lot of shots that met some of the criteria, but none of them that met all. So before you guys tell me all the things I did wrong, I want to point out what I did right in choosing this photo. I found a lot of shots that were interesting pictures, but they didn't feature anything but the face, or the upper half of my body, holding a sword, and that wasn't really enough to carry the picture. I had one or two others with guns in, but they didn't have much neck, or they weren't great quality, or the hair was bad, and/or they were in black and white, or they were from shoots I'd already used.

So, that's my way of saying, I took to heart every single criticism I've gotten this season, and this is the result. It's an action shot - falling is an action. It's memorable. The fashion is interesting. The pose is unique. The setting isn't a studio backdrop. I've got a great neck and legs a mile long.

...I also have a bit of an odd facial expression, but, honestly, I think if anybody fell onto the ceiling they'd probably look just like that.

And, to be honest, I've been waiting to use this photo all game. I was going to use it for dream, I was going to use it for shoes, I even considered using it as a weirdo shot for the school theme. I like this shot. Please don't kill it. (Or... at least... kill it gently, okay?)

All my Liv,
love.

Janice: This is probably my favorite photo of the bunch, and of you. It's just so interesting and those legs are absolutely amazing. You face could use some work, but at the same time it works. I love the theme execution here! This photo is fabulous!

[Morgan Freeman]

Morgan: LOVE IT! Well you definitely have been getting up to some sort of action here haven't you Liv! I love the setting it brings so much chaos to the shot, I love your face it looks like a sort of stunned/exhausted look and your body looks impeccable up on the ceiling there. You have really nailed it here Liv, there is so much energy in this. The only flaw I can see is there is a lot of muscle tension in your legs (which is completely understandable, given your position) but it can make your legs look a little bulky or too defined rather than being smooth. Great job!!

[Zooey Deschanel]

Zooey: I love interesting photos and this is definitely an interesting photo. You can definitely see movement in this picture and I appreciate how much effort you put into this round, making sure you covered every judge's personal nit-picky details. I like it for both a modeling shot and a theme shot, so I really have nothing else to say. Great job this week.

[Lana Del Ray]

Lana: Gorgeous. Wow.. This is what I expected from you girls. I love the legs. Beautiful. Your body language is good. The angle was pretty good especially for this kind of shoot. I don't know what really happened to you in this photo? Earthquake? Alien Invasion? But whatever it is, it really help you a lot this week.

[Amanda Lee Kimmel]

Amanda: This is one of the most unique shots you've given us. I love the concept and I love the execution. It's like you're in some fantasy world meeting the Matrix or something. You're like dredging everything up, and this is a clear motion shot - not to mention, it's beautiful despite the wallpaper being a bit too... uh, never mind. The styling, the pose, and the idea especially all RAWK so kudos to you, Liv! You're staying around
