[Photoshoots] Aquascutum X Ayu

[pepper]

On the second photoshot, her face look "cut & paste" onto someone's body... (but i like her image)
The first one is my favorite, love the messy hair <3

[*hearT_Place*]

Wow! Gorgeous!!

[JCD13]

Wait... are these wax dolls?

Terrible ad campaign, only because of the over photoshopping of her face. It doesn't even look like it belongs to it's body!!! In any of the shots!!!

Probably the effect of those contact lens, those colors don't really look good on Asian faces. I tried light brown once, and I looked dead as well..

The green coat shot is a little strange for some reason-- I can't pinpoint it. Is it her minimal makeup, the contacts, the expression?

OMG ... I like her fishlips in these shoot

the first one is GODDESS !!!

[Cyria]

Thanks for the photos!

I like the middle one best too.

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

I like the one with ayu in long hair! ,3

[asagarichan]

thanks!

[Kanzaki]

Beautiful. I love them.
I don't care if they've been overly photoshopped or anything, they just appeal to me.
I want that first, black coat so bad

[Peruseusu]

thx ^^

The photoshopping is crappy as well. Way too apparent, and the images come off really flat, and idk if it's from them messing around with the photos, or if it's because she can't fit into the poses to fix the perspective. It's probably both.

The clothes are all nice though, and they look nice on her.

She can be a good model at times, but this really does not come off as her being a good model, haha. Photoshop is a bit too much like you said, but I would have to disagree on your flat comment (at least), if your talking lighting wise. There is a good range of contracts throughout the photos.

I think the photos of her from far away are the better of the batch. Especially the first and third one even if. The close ups are awkward (first, she looks oldish, second, she looks like a monkey and third she looks like a old fish) and those contacts... awful.

These ads still make me want one of these trench coats!!!!!!

well I guess what I meant by "flat" was that, they're so photoshopped that at times they look like a painting.

And then, her legs in the last pic, and her head in the second looking like they were copy and pasted.

Personally, with regards to her modeling, she comes off best when she's just being herself...and I think we saw that with all of the recent shoots...but idk, when she tries to do all this high fashion stuff...it doesn't come off as well.

and yeah, it doesn't look good here.

imo, if they're going to use someone as amazing and famous as Ayu, they should use her like a muse, and get her to try and infuse some of her personality and charisma on the clothes, instead of just, the clothes on her.

I actually love them all except the last one. The first one is so gorgeous >.<

[Luvia]

thanx for sharing!

[Sandre]

I like them all~
but the first picture, Ayu's hair look funny. ^^

[tinka69]

Love the second set of images (with her and the flag as the backdrop) she looks amazing! Younger too.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

ayu is a good model by her own standards, personally, I believe she knows how to work her angles and features pretty well (I love her eyes, lips, face structure, nose, hands).

She's super peculiar and unique, and that's what I love about her, she doesn't have to be the skinny 180cm anorexic model to be a model. She couldn't compete with them, but obviously, because they're on different leagues lol

And she isn't just a model, she's an icon, models are just to wear clothes, no one cares about their faces. In ayu's case, the first thing you look at is her face


Now, talking about the photoshop... I hate it. If it just had the right amount in the middle pictures, it would be stunning.

i love the second coat =)

[JackieRos]

are there any bigger pics of these >.<
I want them as my wally
