I like these photos, except I dont think I’m feeling the one of Kim Porter holding the twins, just somethting about the face she making in that one, I think its her mouth thats bothering me. Now, I’m going to have to check out the rest of his exhibit!

I was thinking the same thing #8. Maybe I’ve been watching to much America’s Next Top Model, but I’m just not believing the expression in Kim’s face and it throws the pic off. The rest are gorgeous though. Ciara’s is my fave.

These photos are really good. I think I like Mychal’s the best lol. Oh and NO that’s not Bree’s nana… he edged it out. Oh and I like Ciara’s just cause it looks like she’s packing something. She can hope on me any damn day hahahaha!

I like the photos a lot. I’m not too sold on Kim’s alter ego she looks weird in the mean stage but the pleasant stage she looks graceful. I love ciara’s Bre’s, and Eva’s. Amerie I love the head on shot cause it shows that her bone structure is serious. I also like Mychal Knight’s photo it’s a nice statement.

I WOULD LOVE TO DO A PHOTOSHOOT LIKE THIS… NOW CIARA LOOKS SEXY A HEYALL!!! I’M NOT REALLY FEELING KIM’S PICS…I THINK SHE COULD HAVE PICKED A DIFFERENT THEME…MAYBE A “DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES” (NO PUN INTENDED) THEME…..LOVING AMERIE’S “AMERIES ON A STRING”!!!

/housewife, Preacher/hustler type photos. And why is Bre & Eva naked? Their’s def don’t look alter ego. Is this guy the only one employing antm girls? The photos are nice though I just don’t see the altering og egos though. Tyra did a better job in cycle 3 channeling that.

EVA NEEDS 2 LET LANCE GO, SO I CAN GET WITH HIM. KIM’S TWINS R THE UGLIEST KIDS , I HAVE EVER SEEN. THEY NEED 2 BE ON BABY JENNY CRAIG. MYCHAL KNIGHT LIKES IT IN THE AZZ. AND AMERIE WILL DO ANYTHING 2 SELL A RECORD. BE ORIGINAL, I AM SO TIRED OF BLONDE HAIR.
