Elimination





Well, an interesting way to start huh? As I said Lacoste is one of my favorite brands. I have them, and some of you delivered smashing photo's, and some of you flopped. As the the judges and I stew over out pot, here are the photo's for your vieweing pleasure.

Remember, the guy with the most votes gets immunity for the next shoot, and gets a very special privledge.....Dont forget one of you, or 2, will be sent home..

Photographs.

Adal




Adal, I really love this photo of you. Your face is great, and your new hair really
shows off your new look! The shirt you picked looks great on you, and your setting is
really great. You look like a model, and you look hip and cool as well.
I can see alot of teenagers looking up to you, and your
personality is very positive and exciting. I think overall you did a great job,
and the other guys should watch out for Adal!


Hiss like the snake, or your turning into a vampire? Well either way you should chose between closing your mouth or opening it in a smile, that thing, in between, nah ah dont do it ever again unless you want people to mistake you with a llama! Ha
I love your eyes, the outfit, the pose though your throat looks blured, but the background is to complicated, run more safe next time. Overall, well done.


Not a favorite, but definitely not bad. Quite a lovely shot really. You have alot of potential. Just keep it up.

Not really fond of this. You look as if you're about to sneeze. The settings are good though. Work on the facial expressions and I'm sure you'll do much better in the coming rounds.

You looks much better with your hair like that. I like your summer AD, it makes me wish a swimming pool where to refresh to me. Good elements combination, I like the expression in your lips and the way in how you are sit, your outfit is pretty too.





Alex




Alex, this photo of you is very dramatic! But i really do get the
summer feel here and thats great. You were brave
enough to wear pink, and it looks nice on you. I think this photo would have been
a tad better if you had more of an expression though, but you look tired from
the summer heat, and summer does that to people!
But a good wat to start, well done.


Impression, overly posed. You dont look like your relaxing, you are posing for an editorial.
Relaxed? No. Natural? No.
The only thing you mastered in this shot was the perfect settings, best this week, and your outfit. Try not to look like a diva. (but may I add you look excotic and damn delicate)


Relaxed, approachable, cool. I think these are the words we can use to describe. Your outfit is perfect, I love it because it's the one that looks like Lacoste to me. Your surroundings just give off the feel of summer. I like your pose a lot too, it's just cool and approachable. I'm not really fond of your facial expression though, it looks sort of odd. Otherwise this shot is one of the best.

A favorite! Everything about this just screams Lacoste. You look like a gorgeous boy-next-door and the pink really suits you. Excellent job!

You have an amazing Lacoste AD here, your pose is simply great, more than modeling the clothes you are inviting me to have a awhile of tranquillity in somewhere warm and comfortable, the rayslight are a very real touch.









Alezz




Alezz, I really love this photo of you!! You have a very tranquil vibe,
and see it in this photo of you. You look very relaxed, and I really like
your shirt! The one thing you need to watch out for is your face, because
you tend to look a bit bored at times, so get a bit more energy
and you'll be dynamite! But overall, great job!


Fascinated by a snail? Appearently... I can see the relaxed pose, great, but what about being natural? And whats up with the dull shirt? Honestly I think colors fit you perfectly, you are such a neat looking male. Besides from that the background is playing it to safe, try something more daring next time.

A pleasant photo. It doesn't have a "wow" factor, but this could definitely been an actual ad. The lighting of the background blends a little too well with the logo, but that's about it.

I really like this a lot. I would have preferred more eye contact. The settings are calming and don't take away from you at all. Those pose is casual and relaxed. Nice job for the first round!

I thought your hair was black, it lets to us appreciate your youthful face much more with the black one. Your announcement remembers me my days in the field, the fishing in the lake or the strolls in boat, activities that are better with a vest, I like your face expression, maybe you had to choose another outfit, something that said more "Lacoste" to us without need to read it.





Cheng




Cheng, the setting of this photo really helps everything go together
very well. Very nice shirt, I really like it. Your makeover is great for you
and it makes you look so much better. Your pose is a bit stiff to me, but I think
it balances because of the movement with your hair.
A bit more expression would make this a perfect photo for me.
As for your personality, you seem a bit quiet. I think you
need to start showing some personality, it will help you in
the long run.


I'm kind of split between this. On one hand I can see you tried but on the other everything just confuses me. I mean, take the background. Could have been cropped more but at your left side suddenly something dark cuts trough the sand? Bad editing. And the shirt, to white and to dull. The hair on the other hand looks amazing, good hairday I ought to think.
So.. Im gonna use the clichee: Think out of the box!

Your expression, clothing and body are gorgeous and soo Lacoste. The setting, soo not. It seems like you've been left on a deserted island, which isn't the most relaxing place on earth.

I'm not really fond of this one. You don't have eye contact, it looks you're sort of glancing down. The settings are more deserted island than I would have preferred. Try harder next round.

I like your hair, I like all the elements that you used to make your AD, I like the clothes, I like all, but I'm not sure, is something in this advertising that it does not convince to me, is more like an invitation to any african safari, a desert island or something.








Deangelo



Hmm, Im not really sure about this photo. Your shirt
makes you look big, and a bit
awkard for me. Your expression is a bit, timid. You dont look relaxed
and this photo dosent give me the feel of summer at all. Fall maybe?
This isnt really Lacoste, and I am slightly dissapointed. You have so much
potential.

This photo sets you a part from the other guys in both a good way. Skimming through the other photos, it's as if everyone decided it was twin day. Your clothing choice sets you apart and makes this shot more original. The pose is great, but what is going on with that right arm? It looks quite odd, and is bringing this shot down quite a bit.

This so creepy. I'm sorry, but it just is. You look like you could put fear in some people's eyes. The outfit isn't really what I think of when I think Lacoste either. Better luck next round

Woa, is a great pose, but the clothes is more Oscar de la Renta than Lacoste, you make a great job with the background, but just maybe you had to use a different outfit.








Daisuke



Daisuke, one of my favorite faces here! This photo is great, your setting really
takes this photo to another level! I do get the feel of summer here and its great.
You looked relaxed, calm and tranquil. Your face is great, but be careful
because you dont want to look bored. But for your first shoot, great job!


Mmm, Im not sure if you are posing or its just the camera angle implying it. You are creative, no doubt, with the hat, boat and settings but the shirt color clearly clashes with the other colors, Im surprised you dident notice.
Try more exciting angles, get a check on your color shemes and everything should be allright!

Everything about this just blows me away. Your posed, but not too posed. The idea for your setting is genius to say the least. Nothing else to be said. The rest of these men could definitely take example from you.

This is so relaxing and cool. Your pose is just brilliant. The outfit though is too busy with the graphic on the front, I would have preferred stripes or a solid color. This is a really great round one though. Good job!

You looks totally in at the scene, the pose, your some sexy expression in face, all the elements around you, the hat, without a doubt you have made a great job with this AD, I love it so much, although you had to use another one outfit because without the Lacoste logo I would not be safe at 100% than Lacoste is what sells with this advertising. Taken care of! the next time!.





Dolce




Dolce, I really like this photo of you. I would like to see you look
a bit more relaxed, because your pose is nice, but you look a tad bit mean.
There's the model frown, then there's the angry frown, and you look
angry. Your makeover is great on you, and your skin really makes your
eyes pop out. I think your eyes are one of your best features, and in this photo you cant
really see them. I like your setting, and your shirt is really nice. Overall, good job!


Aha! This is gurgeous, I like it! You really convince me that that mean look on your face is natural, you actually walk around looking that sexy and tough. Wouldent work on others than you. I will advice you though to do different expressions from round to round, I have a feeling that expression might be your favorite.
Now, the pose is cool, you are relaxing against a tree waiting for your girlfriend, wouldent surprise me if its Jessica Alba. Keep up the good work
!


Well this is nice. I like from the neck down, but that's about it. You look extremely vicious and mean. Like you're about to kill or jump someone mean. The settings are sort of sparse, but they're nice. Better luck next week.

Another favorite! For all of Jakub's jokes, you really do know how to model Dolce. I don't see any reason why this couldn't appear in a magazine. It's so flawless. Major props, man.

I love your face expression, your pose imposes authority and the hands in pockets allow to see the confidence in you, is a great elements combination, clothes, pose, background, but I must to say that is something missing in this ad, something to make it more special.





Jakub




Jakub, I have to say this photo has the simpliest setting, but it defietly stands
out from the others. You look sexy, calm, relaxed and you
look like a model. I think you naturally take great photo's because 50% of its how you
look, but you need to do a bit more, dont get comfortable and rely on your looks.
But, geat job!


Fierce but not natural unless you always look that stiff. To bad if you do..
The settings are okay, the pose to stiff and looks uncomftable, and just a regular picture. Try to stand out more with dreamy eyes and more loose body.



I really, really like this shot. I think the editing of this shot makes it even more effective. Your pose reminds me of those summer days where you just hang out in the park with friends, running around, talking, lying down. Your facial expression is bam! right there. Overall I love this shot, good job!

Either you wanted to deck the photographer that day, or you want to deck anyone who doesn't go out and buy Lacoste. It has to be one or the other because you look positively livid. The expression on your face completely contradicts the relaxed pose you have. It's a nice pose, but try to work on your face. Other than that, the background you've chosen is quite nice. Because it's so plain, it really brings the focus to just you and clothing, which really is the point of advertisement.

I think that the Lacoste logo in your AD doesn't matter if are or not there, because still without that I would recognize that is a Lacoste advertising. Well done!


Jesse




Jesse, I have to say, I dont have much to say about this photo. Its a bit
random with the man swimming, and the car, and what apperars to be a
desk? Im confused here. I will say you have alot of potential, and I believe you
can do better.


irst up I can see you did not follow the guidelines. The shot was supposed to be from waist up, this isent, and with a colored shirt, thats just plain white and dull.
More cropping would have set the focus on you, the man swimming distracts me.
Overall I dont like this photo, you could have done better

.

Well I like this. It looks summery. Your pose is relaxed like you're about to lay down and tan. However what I do not like is the hair. It's too rockstar and not Lacoste ad. I like the hint of a smile on your face. Nice job!

This makes for a good photograph as it is, but not the best ad. Remember, this is meant to advertise Lacoste, a clothing brand. Literally everything in the photograph should be in some way complimenting the clothes and model. There are just too many distractions in the background. The pose is nice, and imagine how great it would've been if it had taken up more than 1/4 of the photo!

You looks so well, with that pose you look so confidence and that is good, for me I think that the chair that you used is not the best, is a little outside with you and the background, the atmosphere that you used is well but maybe not the best one.





Julian




I really like this picture of you. I will say even with your great makeover,
you still look a bit old to me.You need to appear fresh, and young. Your photo is great, it has the
very summery feel to it, which I like. Everyting flows well in this photo
and I think you did a really good job. Just remember, young and fresh!!


Are you trying to stare me to death? Well, thats the first impression I get here. Give us a smile, dont look like your entire just family been murdered.
Besides from that the pose is very safe, could have been more creative, and the settings safe too. Think out of the box, it will pay off in the long run.


Ahhh one of my favorites. When I think of Lacoste I think of this East Coast sort of scenario and I see yours having that. I love the pose, although I think you could have done something better, but you do look relaxed. Nice settings. Facial expression is good, approachable. The editing on this again, adds to final touch of this shot. Great job!

Another angry mister! Like Jakub, your pose and your face are at odds. Your pose says "relaxed" while your face says "posed". You have to choose one or other, not both. And in this particular photoshoot the goals was relaxed. Overall a very nice ad, but remember to monitor your facial expressions!

What happened with that strong and aggressive boy? but I must say that other you towards excelling more. Your AD is totaly Chic, I really like it, reminds me the A|X campaigns, the colors are very well synchronous, without a doubt an AD with quality.





Kristian




Kristian, this is gorgeous. I have to say this is indeed one of the best in
my opnion. Your bone structure is so out of this world, its insanely gorgeous.
I love your shirt, those colors look great on you and I love your setting.
Nothing much more to say except exceptional job, and keep up
the good work!


Its obvious that you followed the guidelines closely, like a lifesaver, and that rescued you from any bad comments on my behalf. Only one straight out advice: dont look so blank in the face, in this case a smile would have been better.

I love look of this. It's casual and relaxed looking. Your outfit is one of my favorites, just because it has the pattern on it, although I would have preferred the pattern in a brighter color. Your settings are perfect. I think eye contact would have looked better, but in yours the looking away looks more relaxed. You look approachable. Great job!

This ad has it all; a beautiful setting, excellent clothing and a relaxed pose. The only thing lacking here is your expression. There just isn't that relaxed quality that the rest of the picture gives off.

Ok, you are a very cute boy, your entry to the game it allowed to us to see a new an original face that sincerely was lost with your new hair cut. Your Shoot it is very well made, I like the colors and all the background it is a simple but very precise image.





Maxwell




Max, I say you look a tad bit dead here. Your photo would have been grat
if you had a different expression, or any expression for that matter. I really like youer shirt,
and I like the overall feel of your photo. Go the extra mile with your expressions, you have a safe look, and dont be safe!


Someone call the police a man has been murdered! Seriously, you look dead. Like you been killed and fallen down to ground in that position. Wheres the spark? Wheres the life in your eyes? Appearently gone.
The settings are brilliant but thats really it, thats all above middle. Live up please, dont be 'that' relaxed.


Again one of my favorites. You look amazing! I love this so much. I love the contrast between the green of the grass and the green of your chosen shirt. You look so relaxed. The shadows on you add to those effects. Amazing is all I can say about this shot. Amazing, amazing, amazing.

What is it that's supposed to be modeled again? Oh yeah, clothes! Looking at this it's a bit hard to forget. The most noticable features of this photo are bulging biceps and face. And while both are gorgeous, neither are for sale presumably? Yes, models need to look gorgeous, but they are useless if they're not selling the merchandise. And sorry, you're not famous enough to sell products with your face and name alone. Maybe someday, but not yet.

Awesome AD, is very beautiful, i like how you have handled the shade of the tree under where you are laid down, is a great Lacoste AD, the only thing that I can to criticize you is that your expression is too serious, as much that it makes us think that somebody finishes to assassinate to you.







Sean




Sean, this photo is ok. Its not great, but its not horrible. I think you look a bit fake
with your smile, and its a bit over-bearing. What i will say is you look
very friendly, but it looks s hott, you should look relaxed ya know? You look
like you just....well Im not sure. Nice shirt, but I will say
you have a great look to you, and you needto use it more your
advantage.


Get out of my face! I adviced some of the other guys to smile more but you! turn down the smile, its too goofy and rather fake.
The shirt clashes with the background, I think blue works better with you, and speaking of the background thats confusing. Sand, earth, surfboards? I'm clueless.
.
In agreement with the other judges, this photo is just too much. Too much sun, too much smiling, and too fake a tan. The color of the shirt isn't really complimented at all, it's even actually hard to tell what color it even is. Brown? Maroon? This shot looks like a cheap Hollister. Taking a step back, it is a nice looking photo, but not for Lacoste.


This is not what I think of when I think of Lacoste. I think a little ocean would make me think Lacoste. I don't like the smile, it's too commercial. In Jesse's shot, he has a hint of a smile, which works for it. I don't know, I think you need to improve in order to stay in.

You idea is interesting although I feel that you did not use the right colors, I do not feel that a good combination exists that makes see a little flat, your pose is great i like it but I'm not sure if I were in a desert under a terrible heat I would be with that pleasant smile, I think that it is what it has failed to you.

have immunity for the next round.

.Will Jesse and Deangelo Please step foward.
Both of you stand before me for similar reasons. You both have mediocre
photo's compared to the other. Deangelo, the styling in your photo was way off, and you didnt look like a young, new fresh model. Jesse, your photo was probaly the worst. Your setting was
off, and you didnt shine. So who goes home?
