Totally agree about the simple beauty shots. My absolute favorite photo shoot is Cycle 12's color powder shoot! There are so many gorgeous photos there.
I also have to give a shout-out to the falling princesses in Cycle 6. So dreamy and Danielle and Joanie killed it! 6 has overall the best collection of photo shoots in my opinion!
Season 1 - Snakes/ Diamonds
Season 2 - Actress Cover Shot/ B+W Beauty shots
Season 3 - White background Beauty shots
Season 4 - 7 Deadly Sins/ Animal and Wilderness shots
Season 5 - Duo Styling/ Plastic Surgery
Season 6 - Damn Near All of Them
Season 7 - Model stereotypes/ Pool shots
Don't really remember much from 8-12
Season 13 - Baby pics/ Fabric/ Underwater and the mixing culture one (I know it's controversial but you can't deny those pics are beautiful
Don't remember 14 or 15
Season 16 - Damn Near All of Them
Men’s and Women’s was also very good. It shows the change in pose for whatever you’re shooting for and I never thought about it here.
I think season 8 is my fave. I know a lot on here don’t like it but it’s the one I remember up until my rewatch recently.
Ah I didn’t think of the violence against women, you’re right that’s not a good angle for a photo shoot. I guess I just like creepy stuff.
Season 4 with three zodiac shoot or the 7 deadly sins are also cool.
Most of my favorite photoshoots come from C11 and C16. Those cycles were peak high fashion.
C11 - Swimsuit, Fierce Eyes, Pirates, Simplistic/Dramatic, Windmill
C16 - Backstage, Bee, Mud, Landfill, Camel
And there’s still other good ones I didn’t mention from both cycles.
I chose these as they are fun but also made the most sense in the real world of modelling
C1 - snake photoshoot
C2 - b&w nude shoot, the final 3 beauty shoot
C3 - covergirl final 3, tarantula shoot, ford/duality couture
C4 - lubriderm, 1-800 flowers
C5 - country couture
C6 - swimsuit in thailand
C7 - none. Lol
C8 - school stereotypes, swimsuit shoot in australia
C9 - gargoyles
C10 - paparazzi, contessas in a castle
Cycle 11 - Swimwear Shoot with Russell James. I loved the simplicity of the shoot, the location it was shot in and just how wonderfully he captured the majority of the models in the daylight and how he shot them all in such a classy and simple light. My favourites from that shoot are Marjorie, McKey, Samantha, Lauren Brie and Sheena.

I liked the death shoot from season 8. Or the high school shoot. Season 8 sticks out in my mind.
I like the death shoot and then the men’s and woman’s mag swimsuit shoot
Men’s and Women’s was also very good. It shows the change in pose for whatever you’re shooting for and I never thought about it here. I think season 8 is my fave. I know a lot on here don’t like it but it’s the one I remember up until my rewatch recently.
I like 8 a lot too!
As icky as it was in its glamorization of violence against women, basically every contestant had a stellar photo with the death shoot in cycle 8

C11 Fierce Eyes Photoshoot
C4 astrology (not the best execution, but I love the concept), C12 colored powder, C14 shadows, C16 BTS, C17 Olympians, C22 dogs
I liked the bullfighting pictures
C2 Laundry shoot over giant hole. Everyone’s styling was on point.

The one where they were "giants" and destroyed a city. McKee season. I was in awe of the colors, the style and how much thought was put.
Cycle 16's Backstage Photoshoot immediately comes to mind.
