#Amanda swafford

[gch1995]

When I was younger I only ever watched cycle 19 of America’s Next Top Model growing up, but recently I just started watching the entire series online. Almost everything about the treatment of these contestants by Tyra Banks, the judges, and her producers, is absolutely disgusting, especially in regards to the intelligent, eloquent, and/or well-educated young women with dark skin…How was this show ever allowed on television? At the same time, though, everything about it that’s completely awful makes it addicting to watch…It’s like a train wreck you can’t look away from.

5. Amanda

Compared to Amanda’s previous work, this is another step down, but it’s still a fine showing from her. She’s modelling the diamonds and the tarantula quite well. The little smirk is a nice touch, too. However, I feel like her eyes connected but forgot to convey something that was clear-cut. I feel like as good as this is, she could have done so much better.

No offense, but a lot of these girls this season are really forgettable. All I care about is Toccara, Eva, Amanda, Yaya, and Ann.

2. Amanda’s Nivea Beauty Shot

Amanda’s picture is divine! Her eyes are positively spellbinding and the rest of her face photographed flawlessly as well. The light is catching her bone structure in the best possible way and she’s bringing so much intensity without coming across as cold or intimidating, which is important for an ad. I like the simple placement of her hand to keep the Nivea product in mind, and the wind in her hair is a nice bonus. Amanda looks like an elf queen in this picture and I could see it being used as a skincare or makeup ad even today.

So she thinks she can dance.

Toccara - This ad was right up Toccara’s alley. She looks amazing in those jeans, and her face is absolutely divine here. Totally robbed of a first call-out, in my opinion.

Ann - I was with Jay at being surprised Ann actually took a good photo. She’s gorgeous, but hasn’t been able to translate that to a photo until now. This photo shows her beauty really well.

Eva - The judges commented on how she looks afraid, but that’s actually what I love about Eva in this shot. It’s like someone stole her top, and she’s afraid because she’s spotted a pervert staring her down. It fits really well.

Yaya - Yaya is great, as always. I’m loving the arch in her back and her face looks amazing. She’s holding just a tad bit too much tension in the lips for me, though.

Nicole - It’s interesting, because Nicole is the first girl I look at in this photo...every time. However, my focus always shifts to other girls and then doesn’t come back to Nicole. It must be the hair that draws me in. She looks great, though.

Amanda - I think Amanda looks great here, but her usual photo magic is somehow missing a bit for me. She actually looks a bit uncomfortable. Her great look kind of saved her a bit.

Jennipher - Had she not pulled that dumb stunt with writing ANTM on her butt, I think the judges would have like Jennipher’s photo a lot more. She doesn’t look bad. She doesn’t look particularly amazing either, but definitely not as bad as they made it out to be.

Norelle - This is one of the photos that I think the judges heavily overrated in panel. This is the best Norelle has looked so far, but I still find that she disappears for me amidst the other girls. This is definitely a step in the right direction, though, and I hope that she continues to improve like this.

Kristi - Kristi’s photo is just kind of “blah” to me. It’s not bad, but I can’t really think of anything good to say about it either. It’s just there. I didn’t mind her elimination much, since it seemed she was on a downward spiral anyway.

Cassie - I don’t get what the judges love about this. Her face looks okay, though her face was definitely better last week, but her body is so busted. What is that pose? She’s making the jeans look horrible, and the jeans are the entire point of the shoot.

Kelle - Though she doesn’t make the jeans look bad like Cassie did, Kelle’s face totally ruined her shot, and I feel so bad for her. This might have been the moment her bad pictures became the running joke of the cycle. I think this was probably the best shot of all of them as a whole, so Kelle just had to deal with a bad picture, and then they decided to make it a thing.

10. Amanda’s T-mobile phone advert

Deciding for a top 10 list this cycle was incredibly difficult, as the quality of the photography was extraordinary high in cycle 3. Great models, great photoshoot concepts. Amanda definitely was a threat in this area, as evident by the gorgeousness of this photograph. Her face is glorious and she makes the kimono look very good.

5. Amanda’s Kimono

Amanda’s face is glorious in this photo. The light is striking her features beautifully and her eyes are so full of life. Even though we can’t see much of her body I still love the dramatic way she sweeping across the set and displaying the back of kimono to its fullest extent.
