On tonight’s episode of America’s Next Top Model, the girls met up with Paulina Porizkova and Francesco Licata, a fashion photographer. Francesco taught the models the basics of photography. They got to practice by taking pictures of each other and see things from another perspective. Afterwards, they met up with Ann Shoket, the editor-in-chief of Seventeen magazine. For their challenge tonight, the girls had five minutes to take an amazing picture of Paulina. The winner would get 50 extra frames in their next photo shoot.

Fatima did a nice job of directing Paulina without talking down to her. Dominique was not specific in her instructions, confusing her. Whitney was very professional in her interactions with Paulina. Finally, Anya was slightly unfocused and seemed all over the place while behind the camera.  Fatima won and was so excited to finally win her first challenge of the season.  She felt that she desperately needed those 50 frames in order to secure her place in the final three.

For tonight's photo shoot, the girls were thrilled to find out that Nigel would be their photographer.  The girls had to play a famous woman, out on the town with a good looking man, who was trying to avoid the paparazzi.  Nigel and Jay felt like Anya was modeling too much and it didn't look natural enough for them.  Fatima bored Jay to tears and Nigel felt that he didn't see a star in front of him.  Whitney started off posing too much but tried hard to have fun in her shoot.  Dominique fell flat in front of Nigel and Jay felt that she took a few steps back.

In panel, the judges felt that Anya's photo was her best out of the entire competition.  Tyra felt that Whitney looked beautiful in her photo, but not surprised enough.  Dominique came out looking much too hard in her photo.  Fatima managed to pull of a beautiful and romantic shot, which the judges loved.   After deliberating with the other judges, Tyra calls Anya first.  Whitney is called next, leaving Dominique and Fatima in the bottom two.  It was no surprise to the viewers when Tyra sent Dominique on her way. 

Tomorrow, Dominique will talk to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview.  Don't miss it!
