I decided to use S&M by Rihanna because the song talks about some weird sexual topics such as bondage, painful pleasure, etc. Overall, I pretty much got a "I'm in charge and you're my slave" kind of sexual reference. So I took this topic and made it cleaner and not so disturbing. The high leather boots and baton reflect a demanding presence and it's those key aspects that relate to the message of the song, in my opinion.

Amanda: That's not my kind of song, to be honest, so thank you for the explanation. The outfit is very strong, and your hair is too - but I really, really do NOT like your face and the way you're looking down. It seems like you're almost taking a bow to your master, rather than being the boss yourself. It's that awkwardness that harms the photo considerably - although the outfit and staging are fantastic, there's not enough in your presence for this to be a perfect fit. It's still good, don't get me wrong, but it's too awkward.

Émilie: This song is a very theatrical song. I get the ringmaster theme, sadism and masochism is all about master and slave. A ring master is the master of the circus. S&M is very much like a very, scary circus to me, so I get it.
I think this photo would've been a lot better with connection to the camera, and an aggressive face.

Emma: Personally, I see it a lot more as a "I'm looking down at you in an 'Aww, you're my little slave'" kind of evil way. (I don't even have a better explanation for it than that, but if you've ever seen the anime Blood+ it's exactly the way Diva looks at her minions.) I think you did really well at not getting too trashy with this, Jessica, and that's a really tough thing to do with a song like this. I like the pose, I like the accessories and the outfit, and overall it's a great shot. Well done!

Yoona: I think the styling is great. But my problem is with your face. I want it to be more stronger. Remember, you're the dominator here. You look a little bit soft and nice here.

Alex: I agree with Yoona this would be perfect if your face was harder.
