Jenna Kuokkanen

[Liisa_Ihmemaassa]

The winner of Finland's Next Top Model cycle 3. What do You think? www.nelonen.fi

 

[Liisa_Ihmemaassa]

She won a contract with Paparazzi Model Management (Suvi Koponen's mother agency), a six page editorial with Finnish Elle - hopefully she will be on the cover too! She'll be the face for Max Factor's new makeup line and last but not least, Tjäreborg travel agency rewarded her with a trip to New York.

No info or pics yet at Paparazzi.fi, but I'll post them as soon as Paparazzi updates their site. Can't wait!

She was my favourite from the get go. She was a bit of an underdog, because she was the shortest of the bunch. She is only 173,5 cm (according to www. nelonen.fi). But what she lacks in lenght, she makes up in beauty and personality. It think she is very photogenic, has a beautiful and interesting face, a well proportioned figure and a 'down to earth' personality. I really hope she has a future in modeling and wish her all the best. Now we just have to wait and see..

The under water photo shoot did'nt go so well, but the picture turned out ok in my opinion, could be better though.

Geisha pics are really bad, but others are okay. I wouldn´t have guessed she won. I agree that there is some potential in her, but it did not outshine during the show. But I didn`t like the others anyway, so it was all the same to me. Saara was gorgeous outside the photoshoots, but model really need to know how to express herself in photos. Tiia took all the best pictures, but couldn´t walk and was annoying, to me. And Jenna, imo was in the between, not the best and not the worst. Her winning was like a compromise.

 

[Liisa_Ihmemaassa]

I see what you mean Tommy Girl. Jenna was very cousious and quiet during the show, but I really think she has more to give. Looking forward to the Elle shoot and what the outcome will be. I don't feel her win was a compromise, all the girls were good in their own ways, but maybe Jenna had improved the most.

Saara would have probably been the winner, if she had been photogenic. Like you said, she is gorgeous. But she didn't get that many good photos. Tiia was good imo, but she lacked that something - can't really put my finger on it..

^You`re right, compromise isn`t the best word here But I think they need to do something with Jenna`s hair. It wasn`t good before, but it`s definitely not better now. She has typical Finnish hair, thin and glassy. Do you think she resembles Suvi just a little bit? Maybe it is their personality, very shy and quiet, but under there is something more.

 

[Liisa_Ihmemaassa]

^Compromise is probably the right word. I just don't want to call it that, because I like her so much. I'm in denial The hair is a problem for me too. When the show began I wasn't concerned about her lenght at all, I thought the bigger problem was the hair. But blond is definetly better than the dark hair she had earlier. You know what? There is a resemblence to Suvi. Remember how Suvi was on the show 'Mallikoulu'? Just like you pointed out, shy, quiet and imo kind of awkward. Jenna is like that too. Hopefully Jenna can make something out of herself, just like Suvi did despite the shyness.

Nice black-and-whites

Polaroids are great! I shouldn`t ever judge a model based to NTM photography
B&W shots are gorgeous, too. But now she is 176 cm ? I think more like 173, but who cares, it doesn`t matter so much.

 

[Liisa_Ihmemaassa]

^Sudden growth spurt, perhaps?

I totally agree with you! The pictures taken during the show (most of them..) look like - pardon my french - s*it compared to those polaroids and black&whites.

Do you have any idea when the Elle shoot will take place? And more importantly, when will it be published? I'm getting anxious

It was published already, I got it, but unfortunately I don`t have a scanner. It is in the latest Elle, August issue. And I can tell she looks pretty god damn good there!

Well I think that Jenna is ok, but she's a bit too oridanary and young looking to my eyes. As you see from the recent shoots she get's a lot better when time flies, but sadly I don't think that she has a possibility for a huge worldwide success. One thing I like about her are her eyes and the way she manages to use them in the shots.
