— Ha-ha! And I already have a suitable photo, take a look:
— This is the new design of the office that we are preparing to sell... We can add some attractive elements on the sides and it's ready!
Gideon, pleased with his short business trip, returned and reported to the team that the collection of advertising materials for the magazine was completed.
Preparing for the competition day, Gideon continued to carefully study the camera manual and practice taking good shots. The event turned out to be larger than initially expected, but he was not going to panic because of the large number of city guests – anyway, everyone's attention will be focused on the participants, and he was determined to do his job to the best of his ability. It wasn't that he suddenly felt like a master photographer; rather, as Fortis once put it, it was just a normal human desire to do a good job.
However, this was not a neutral competition where it was much easier to fully concentrate on the task without unnecessary distractions. While photographing the models, he couldn't help but think about the external qualities of his classmates, because that was the purpose of the competition – to emphasize beauty, not just to take pictures for a magazine. Fortunately, he didn't have the opportunity to stare at them for too long; the participants came out one after another, so he had to switch quickly.
After the photo session, he leaned over the list of participants, on which he had to put down scores. He thought about what it would be like if he were a random spectator at this event and voted as if he had seen all these girls for the first time. Although, no, he couldn't do that from his position. Well, in the end, any assessment is subjective.
Barbarian - 8. Wow, Varya looks unexpectedly cute and feminine. It's not easy with her build, well done. A brighter outfit would be even better.
Shea - 7. Ah, that girl from the foreigners, the princess-savage with a complex attitude towards firearms. And her fashion preferences are strange, judging by her outfit, although, okay, she looks good.
Iva - 7. She looks much better without the ropes. Strangely enough, the photography assignment had a positive effect on her in terms of her appearance – she transformed from an unremarkable, messy, disheveled girl into something more pleasing.
Mana - 5. She could have worn something more decent, thought the ascetic technologist sternly. A very calculated and bold choice of image. And just as unprincipled and vulgar. And she looks unnatural, she put on glasses for some reason, and with such a gloomy look, you don't want to photograph her, but send her to change.
Renn - 6. How cheerfully she smiles! Unfortunately, this only slightly softens her overall unremarkable appearance.
Cassia - 5. Presenting a physically fit figure, while hiding her face, is a rather amusing experiment. In fact, she would look much better in full view, because people also pay attention to the eyes and hairstyle.
Shera - 6. She should dress in something that doesn't look like rags, and smile less toothily. Although, maybe that wouldn't be Shera anymore, but in her current style, she can hardly expect much in such competitions.
Leila - 8. Here is someone who knows how to present herself in a way that emphasizes her figure without looking vulgar.
Ladia - 5. Something about her is repulsive; the Creator knows why.
Buddleya - 5. Is she comfortable like that? I don't remember a circus performance in our program.
Vita - 6. She looks bold and effective, but too simple, lacking style and elegance.
Claudia - 5. She looks somewhat disharmonious in her build; it's probably due to her choice of clothing. And a formal suit in the context of a beauty contest is a dubious idea; maybe there's some calculation here too, but in fact, she just looks strange.
Niriana - 10. Even without any special tricks with the image and outfit, she still somehow attracts attention. There is a certain charm in this natural simplicity; I don't know if it was intentional, but in the end, she is the most memorable.
Neomarica - 5. Well, what proportions she has. Impressive, she looks better with her height than in the case of the lily. And her arrogant look is not at all inviting.
