Take Me To The Photo ShootThis is a featured page

The girls meet Jay and Ann Shoket who tell them the importance of creative directors. Jay told them that it's important for models to understand the role of creative directors and realize that they are in charge of anything that falls under the creative umbrella.

Challenge
Each girl had to be the creative director for another girl's photo shoot. They were advertising South Pole Jr. and were asked to show street style with aptitude. The girls' glam squad was there to take creative direction from each creative director. The girls' had to choose hair, makeup, outfits, and edit and choose the final photo.
Natalie was Teyona's creative director
Allison was Aminat's creative director
Fo was London's creative director
Teyona was Celia's creative director
Aminat was Natalie's creative director
London was Allison's creative director
Celia was Fo's creative director.

Teyona won the challenge because she had the best styling and creative directon. She chose Aminat and Celia to appear with her in an editorial in the June issue of Seventeen Magazine.

Photo Shoot
Jay went to the girls' house at 5:30 AM and woke them up. He had the glam squad with him so each girl got the luxury of having her hair and makeup done at the house. While they were in hair and makeup, Ciara showed up and surprised the girls by telling them she would be in their photo shoot. They traveled to Webster Hall and took photos of Ciara singing on stage as the girls posed as obsessed fans tangled in microphone cords. The photographer was Mike Ruiz.

Judging
Mike Ruiz was the guest judge. Before the judging began, Tyra announced that the cycle 12 overseas location would be Sao Palo, Brazil and the final six girls would travel there. Each girl got critiqued and then Tyra called the names of the six girls who will continue. The girls are in order from best picture to worst and the judges' critiques are listed below.

Teyona - Paulina said she was fierce and consistently has good photos, Mike said she related to the environment and situation better than any other girl, Tyra said she was fierce, fabulous, and acted like a crazy fan in a good way
Fo - Tyra said she always has good angles and creates tension without being tense, Jay said she has fantastic long limbs
Natalie - J. said she stood out more than Ciera does, Paulina said her face looked frightening, Mike said she struggled at first but had it later, Tyra said she is fabulous but needs to step out of her comfort zone and become more present in her face
Celia - Jay said it was brilliant she said she liked her photo before the judges did and she's not classically pretty but works for it, Tyra said she loves it and Celia looks like a crazy fan that wants fame
Allison - Paulina said she finally had a different face, Tyra said she had tension in her mouth, Mike said she needs to be provoked to be good
Aminat - Looked cute at judging, Jay said she looked bewildered like she fell over, Tyra said she looked lost and doesn't understand how her body relates to the camera, Mike said she is great for runway but not for print
London - Paulina said she doesn't love it, Jay said she tried to hard and was over the top, Tyra said she naturally smiles with her eyes, Mike said she needs better understanding of angles, J. asked London what she has been eating and said she has gained ten to fifteen pounds

London went home with the worst picture and Teyona's top photo was displayed in the house.

Drama
London constantly talked about her weight and when she had to do a a photo shoot in skimpy clothing, Jay asked her why she isn't taking care of her body.

At judging, Allison said this was her favorite photo shoot and that Mike was her favorite photographer. This made Jay mad because Jay has been her photographer previous times.

Allison practiced making different faces over and over again because the judges keep telling her she always has the same face.
