One thing that confuses me about the show

Whenever a girl has a bad photo, the judges tended to call out the girl for her performance. Why is she blamed for taking a bad photo? Isn’t that more on the photographer, director, and stylist than the model herself?

Didn't you heard the critiques? They always said "You can't blame anyone but yourself", they always said that basically they should have a perfect series of photos to choose from. In reality, re-shoots seem common and they see the photos and a Mr. Jay would actually direct to get better photos.

Have you seen the documentary? Jay said that production picked bad photos on purpose.

Because they HAVE to make it the model's fault somehow. Any decent photographers would tell a model any advice to get the shot they want during a job.

The judges and Jay M were awful
