Welcome back for our second week of the summer Classic Cycle of ENTM! This week is traditionally a “runway style” week focusing on the fashion, and we hearkened back to the original Forum Cycle 1 for inspiration with a swimsuit competition. (I don’t know about you, but someone definitely turned the heat on in the last week where I live.)
Our models were asked to take a vertical shot of their character, but otherwise they were free to choose the location and mood for their scene (and of course strike a pose.)
