Critic's Focus: A Sponsor's Point of View









Gallery 17: A stunning gallery as bright with joy as DD’s shirt. DD seems well into the mood, giving us some natural and stylish poses. Full of energy, DD bursts with happiness. He exudes a lot of pride and contentment, too. Everything in this gallery looks harmonious, calm and tranquil as if we’ve reached a Zen-like ecstasy and enlightenment.




Gallery 16: Farewell to Chris who bows out with a graceful swansong. His quirky mannerisms give the shoot an informality that captures the viewer. This gives the gallery a homespun intimate feel, heightened by the photographer’s attention to detail. Chris’ shy glances are mixed with a knowing awareness of the viewer from someone who is very confident. Once he opens up the glamorous fashion model comes out like a peacock putting on a display.




Gallery 15: The forms, compositions and lighting in LJ’s gallery are so beautifully precise. They radiate the bright colours and contours in every photo. LJ’s bright personality enhances the effect a thousand fold, giving the shoot a warm personal touch.




Gallery 14: You wouldn’t want to bump into Alex on a dark night.  He may be small but he looks frightening with those boxing gloves. He’s a ball of energy ready to explode. Alex does well to channel his raw feelings and emotions into his facial expressions, going from excitement to happiness. The emotions seem so real you feel them intensely.




Gallery 13: GBoy flexes his muscles to power his way through a delightful shoot. Always a natural, he brings an elegant coolness to every photo. GBoy’s laidback casual style gels perfectly with the costume and setting. His enthusiasm sells the package to the max.




Gallery 12: Jakob has the same roguish James Dean quality as Nicholas Hoult. He portrays rebelliousness with style. I love the vest shots where every taut sinew of Jacob’s upper body is strained to perfection. He looks very statuesque. It is interesting to study the photographer’s minute tweaks in posture and composition to copy the Hoult shoot.




Gallery 11: Nice to see Lil5 on his pit stop. Only Lil5 can flex with style and attitude. He may have slimmed down but his personality is still pumped to the max with that cheeky grin of his. A lean, mean fighting machine who wouldn’t frighten the grannies.




Gallery 10: I’m going to miss the vivacious Jordan a lot. He’s a sprightly model with lots of quirky mannerisms which make him such an individual. The dramatic light and shading in this shoot highlight his expressions even more. He’s a good little actor too, bringing role play and imagination to the fore. All the best to Jordan with his new agency.




Gallery 9: Jesse adds a huge splash of colour with the green and pink costumes. He gives a muted and carefully judged performance to show off the fashions to their maximum. The effect, with the snowy background and soft shadows, is cool and evocative. The faraway dreamy look in Jesse’s eyes adds a sweet touch of melancholy.









Gallery 7: Joe explodes onto the scene with a cheery chirpiness to brighten any day. The photographer echoes the mood with sunny lighting. Joe’s openness is very endearing. He wears his costumes with the style and boldness of a peacock. Joe is the new gentleman of casual wear.




Gallery 6: The one and only Jojo is back with a spectacular show of character, liveliness and humour. With his colourful presence, this larger than life model makes the shoot more like a series of portraits than run of the mill fashion. He makes the camera his playground with his great expressions and spirit and strikes a good few poses too. The dark backdrop and shirt contrast and help draw the eye to Jojo’s sparkling personality.




Gallery 5: DeJa’s eagerness and sportsmanship are keenly displayed for the camera. His enjoyment of the game spills over through his bubbly personality and nifty ball skills. The photographer captures DeJa’s pride and satisfaction with strong, confident poses. Deja makes us feel at home looking very comfortable on set.




Gallery 4: Tyler bows out with grace in this smart casual shoot. His refined manner and postures are clean and precise. Tyler ’s smile and bright eyes lift the shots with spiritual depth and sunshine, which echo the warm studio lighting. With portfolios like this, I am sure Tyler will go very far in the future.




Gallery 3: Love the close-up shots of LJ. He is a good little actor. You can taste the action and excitement of the console game and TV by intense look in his eyes. Only LJ can make lying down look so cool and relaxed with his quirky expressions and chilled attitude. He channels his distinctive style into the sharp standing poses, too, with glamour and humour




Gallery 2: Jaxon simply rocks with indie spirit for his portfolio shoot. His edgy attitude fits perfectly with the provocative shirts and jeans. The eyebrow ring adds a cool touch, too. The upside down shots have a great subversive feel to them. Despite the rebelliousness, Jaxon’s good old charm still shines through those wry smiles of his. The portraits in the white shirt prove that perfectly




Gallery 1: A sprightly DD kick-starts the New Year with fun and frolics to get us all in a light-hearted mood. He has a spring in his step showing off his batting skills. There’s a fine gentle mood to this gallery, visualised by the cool muted colours of DD’s jersey and shorts. The lighting creates soothing glow on DD, defined by the black background.
