ZNTZ Photoshoot5- COUTURE RUNWAY JUDGING

Congrats to SneakABoo for expressing their Zelf style and personality into a beautiful couture outfit and winning Photo of The Week!!



Petal had the second best photo! You told me in during "judging"(AKA when you guyz email me!) you didn't know about fashion, but you totally disproved that statement! Another reason you got second best photo is because you..

1. Followed the rules. This was a couture *runway* fashion show, and unfortunately some of you didn't supply a runway photo shoot theme.

2. Had a low edit score. Which means your photo had the least amount of editing done to it, which actually most of you did this week, and some of you didn't NEED editing, but I find it fair if I do it to one I do it to all. It normally helps to high and bring out the best in the photo, or the colors needs to be tweaked a bit



Roberta, your photo was amazing this week, and it was a close race between the Top 5 this week!! I loved your runway, and how you used hard drives as the dress design! This photo looks like you're stomping the runway and owning it!



Royal P another stunning entry this week, you really brought out a side of you I didn't envision! I love all the glitz and glamour and your background!



Clover I'm really happy to see you in the Top 5 this week your runway and dress are both so complimenting to eachother!



Candy Lou I love your run way style it's so cute and bubble and totally something I could see all the young Zelfies wearing!! Love all background Zelfs they really bring out the photo!


I love your dress and coloring, and even the background!! But I wish she would've been on a runway! Clouds woulda been a good runway for her or a rainbow! Your art, dress, composition, coloring, style, and design really stood out though! But remember how Im a perfectionist for rules and following the details! M

*So this is a warning for everyone. Judging IS going to get harder. You'll need to make sure you follow the guidelines and rules for each Photo Shoot to T. I normally only have a few requests for the photo shoots.

This week was Express Your Zelfs Individual Style with a Couture Runway Photo Shoot.

Angelela had an amazingly beautiful couture dress, and photoshoot, but by not placing herself on a runway her score was lowered!

*Judging is about to get serious!*



Flitter your art, and runway were so amazing. But, you completely missed the Couture mark!! I would have loved something with more color, a design for the suit and pants, maybe even like cute winged shoulder pads? I didn't really
Get Flitter except for the adorable dragonfly pin, I wanted couture, I want MORE! I love everything else about your photo! I remember in judging we talked about it being plain, and I said more colorful? Well ykno how crazy I am. You should know when I say colorful I meant colorful!



Vampula, love your back ground, that dress is stunning, love how the dress is made of bat wings!! But unfortunately every time I went over your photo I constantly forgot about yours!

Your black dress and black background blended into eachother too much. Some pink or a strawberry design on the dress's petticoat would've added some some color would have been nice, but the main reason you scored so low is because you just did not stand out in your shoot. I loved the back ground, but I do not lyhe dress and the background together.

So make sure to stand out and have your background and model not blend together! Beautiful photo, but
YOURE the model, you need to stand out in the photoshoot not blend in!



Cleocat, this photo shoot was absolutely stunning, your art is always impeccable and your dress is stunning, did you and Angelela have the same designers!?

But..it's a Fairy Tale Phot Shoot? That was our photoshoot 2 weeks ago, so that brought your score down a lot! Also since you decided to have it with a Fairy Tale theme, I compared your Fairy Tale theme to the original
Beauty and the Beazt photoshoot created by SneakABoo. Boo's photoshoot then, was and is stronger than this picture of yours this Photoshoot. So, remember
follow the guidelines. Would have loved to have seen her in an Egyptian themed runway!

*If your photoshoot is similar to a previous photoshoot performed by another contestant in a prior Photoshoot, you will be questioned, and possibly receive a lower score if
the judges feel as though you were inspired and or copied this photo.*

Cleocat, yours doesn't seem like that this week, but it was a Photoshoot Theme already done, so I'm just really disappointed in you this week, because you normally deliver what is asked of you!

**Remember to follow the guide lines and if you all are confused or have a question, need advice, PLEASE contact
Me!!**



Daisy May! Such a beautiful photo, and such a beautiful dress!! You have been so strong in the competition but this week you submitted and Runway Photo with NO BACKGROUND! ;_; This was the reason for your low score!

Runways can be very simple so you don't need much in the background to represent a runway!!

You've had such amazing backgrounds each previous Photoshoot so I KNOW you're capable of bringing that to the competition. This was definitely the reason you ranked so low this week!

You can't be strong and amazing with a strong photo and amazing background for most of your photoshoots and then all of sudden not bring your all for a photoshoot.

You have to stay consistent!!

If I know you can deliver, I expect you to deliver each week!

This is not Zardenia's Next Top Mediocre Model, you need to be a Zuper Model through out the whole competition.

If you can't, you will be eliminated.

The competition is about to get intense, we've been playing too safely.

To let you all in on how judging is done...

I am the main judge. My vote counts over any and everyone's, unless I have my beautiful co-judge Kawaii Unicorn Puppy Princess available but she's such a rainbow jet setter it's hard to get her votes in. It's my niece Avvi, 8 years old and Zelfs MAIN demographic so what she thinks is best, is best.

For the past few weeks since there hasn't been an elimination even though I've seen your zocial media scores, and who had the highest ones, I have not contributed them to MY scores.

You are given as many points as there are Zelfs. So if there's 12 Zelfs remaining in the competition the Best Photo of the week gets 12 points. All the way down from 11-1.

So if you have the lowest score, you're most likely up for elimination. Thankfully there is a not an elimination this week, but next week and for the following weeks eliminations will be back.

When we reach 10 contestants you will only receive 10 points from me. So we will definitely be needing more judges to help rank photos, so if you are a member not in the completion and you'd like to judge please message me with your favorite to least favorite photos.

Social media scores are also going to become a main source of points! Though, MY opinion, and judging matters over any other judges. Including Zocial Media.

Shortly your portfolio's will be judged, and compared against your peers.

Contestants in the bottom two will
Now be judged BY their portfolios alone.

So remember again to keep your photos strong, and to follow guide lines.

You may find my critiques this week harsh, but I just honestly want what's best for each of you and to see you succeed.

Remember this is a modeling competition! I am preparing you for
your modeling career! ^_~

So if a Client(someone booking you as a model) requests specific things, I'm going to make sure you can succeed
and give them what they want.

We had this problem with the Beauty Shot as well, a few contestants did not deliver a beauty shot, they didn't follow the guidelines, you're goin to have to make sure you give the Client exactly what they want.

We will be having a Shampoo Ad PhotoShoot coming up with the next few photoshoots! This again will be a beauty shot, so I will remind you now, and I will remind you again when the photo shoot comes up.
**A Beauty Shot is a Photoshoot of the bust up, so at the top of the Zelfs belly and up, only! Your objective with a Beauty Shot is to highlight the beauty of your Zelf!!**


Welcome to the completion Lochlan! Since we had several drop outs, and eliminated players not able to return to the competition I've allowed an outside model to begin competing in the competition!

So glad to have you Lochlan, sorry you had to come into such an intense judging, but it will help you learn exactly what it expected of you!

As for your Couture Runway Photoshoot, it is definitely couture, definately nothing I've ever seen before.

Unfortunately, your photo had to be edited the most out of everyone to be able to show up properly. Work on your lighting and composition in your Next Photoshoot!

Also get in touch with your inner Lochlan, because you definitely did not express Lochlan's individual Zelf style! This was a look that Billy would have a
hard time pulling off!

Unfortunately since you're new to the competition you have the lowest score.

Fortunately you have 2 photoshoots left until your over all scores begin determing elimination. So for your next two photoshoots make sure you bring it as best as you can, and try to rack up those points!

Until the 10th photoshoot, eliminations will be determined by who has the weakest photo each photoshoot.

**So remember to outshine the competition each week!!**

Congrats again everyone, and good luck!! Stay creative and don't forget to bring your best!!

Love Yourzelf!!

& Happy #ZelfsDay #NationalZelfsDay !!
