Teyona Anderson – Photoshoot Portfolio Review, America’s Next Top Model Cycle 12, ANTM 2009

May 13, 2009 by vongsundara

It’s looking like the year of the upset in reality competitions. Teyona will definitely have a future in the industry, but she’s just not inspiring as a model, and that will limit her potential. She has an above-average body, face, walk and personality and no real weaknesses. The trouble is that there’s nothing that really stands out with the WOW factor that supermodels need to have.

Once again, Tyra awarded the title to the model who wanted it the most. It’s been predictable since the fiasco with Cycle 1 winner, Adrianne Curry. I like Teyona, but I really disagree that she should have won Cycle 12.

Teyona Anderson, America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 ANTM 2009, Episode 13: America's Next Top Model Is...

Teyona delivers another predictably solid photo. She looks very commercial, and I believe the expression in her face here.

Review Score: ★★★½☆

Teyona Anderson, America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 ANTM 2009, Episode 12: Take Me To The Jungle

This is a solid photo of Teyona, but it’s not really that inspiring. Without the top, the outfit doesn’t make much sense, and her bottom looks like it’s covered in granny panties.

Review Score: ★★★☆☆

Teyona Anderson, America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 ANTM 2009, Episode 11: Let's Go See The City

Teyona looks strong, and her body looks gorgeous in this photo. Being on the other side of the surf board helps with the composition of this shot. I would have preferred Teyona’s hands in slightly different positions, though. Her top hand covers her hair a little and her bottom hand is lying lifeless. Overall still a great photo.

Review Score: ★★★★☆

, America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 ANTM 2009, Episode 9: The Amazing Model Race

Teyona’s photo is the sexiest of the bunch. She uses the background very well the way that she is leaning on the door. Teyona’s facial expression is sultry and absolutely sells the concept of the photo.

Review Score: ★★★★☆

Teyona Anderson, America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 ANTM 2009, Episode 8: The Amazing Model Race

Another week, another solid photo from Teyona. Teyona completely gets tangled up in the wires except that she loses her left arm in this photo. Ciara looks a little bored in this photo, and I didn’t completely like the concept for this photoshoot. The theme was definitely a little uninspired.

Review Score: ★★★★☆

Teyona Anderson, America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 ANTM 2009, Episode 6: Here's Your Test

Hot hot hot! I love love love this photo. Teyona’s face looks more gorgeous than I ever thought it possibly could. Her expression also matches the yellow colour scheme she was given to work with.

Review Score: ★★★★★

Teyona Anderson, America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 ANTM 2009, Episode 5: Put Your Best Face Forward

Teyona manages to salvage a good photo out of this train-wreck of a photoshoot concept. Teyona’s facial expression is strong and pierces straight through the photo.

Review Score: ★★★★☆

Teyona Anderson, America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 ANTM 2009, Episode 4: New York's Finest

What an absolute mess. Teyona’s wardrobe and makeup are terrible along with her overdone facial expression. The photo is saved solely by the amazing backdrop.

Review Score: ★★☆☆☆

Teyona Anderson, America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 ANTM 2009, Episode 3: Do You Light The Way I Look?

Absolutely the best photo of the week. Teyona’s face looks exquisite. I’m happy to see that she’s learning how best to angle her face during photoshoots. Hopefully she can continue to improve, as she is starting to really win me over.

Review Score: ★★★★½

Teyona Anderson, America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 ANTM 2009, Episode 3: Model Makeovers

Tyra made Teyona over with some pulled-back hair. I’m not sure this is the right direction, as it only exaggerates Teyona’s already pulled-back face. I may end up being wrong, though, since exaggerating features will sometimes work really well in photos.

Review Score: ★★★☆☆

Teyona Anderson, America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 ANTM 2009, Episode 2: Fun And Games

Wow, I don’t know how Teyona managed to get so high up in the air. I don’t really like the way her body or her face looks in this photo, though. It’s not horrible, but I’m still unconvinced.

Review Score: ★★☆☆☆

Teyona Anderson, America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 ANTM 2009, Episode 1: What Happens In Vegas

Teyona’s not the most naturally gorgeous girl, but I think her bizarre features may actually work really well in photos. It’s almost like she had a face lift without actually having a face lift.

Review Score: ★★★☆☆
