I chose this image as the winner in large part because of the perfect pose and evocative expression from the model. I really grabs the viewer and has them thinking about what is going through her mind at that time. The lighting is spot on and the post production is polished but remains natural. The little details such as the positioning of the hair down to the way the models hand interacts with the lingerie just puts it over the top. - Michael Woloszynowicz

This image really embodies what a great lingerie shot should be. The model is beautiful with a captivating gaze and is posed perfectly to accent the lingerie and her body. Despite the fact that it's a lingerie shot, it remains elegant and tastefully done and the use of negative space through the landscape orientation keeps the image engaged with the subject and scene.  - Michael Woloszynowicz

Not all lingerie images need to rely on sex appeal to work well. The playful nature of this image is a great departure from the norm and really captures a wonderful moment that doesn't feel the least bit posed. The sunrise/sunset window light and warm tones really accentuate that carefree feeling and the model has a wonderful girl-next-door sort of appeal to her. - Michael Woloszynowicz

Now the model, who wears a 32JJ bra, will represent the Curvy Kate customer, who is a D-cup or higher.

On the contest page, Adams explained that she entered the competition in part as a confidence booster. “I used to have so many body hang ups, hated my size and wanted to change myself, ” she wrote. “But as I get older I’m realizing it’s all about self love and treating your body like the temple it is!”

This summer, Adams will be flying to Faro, Portugal, to take part in the Curvy Kate campaign and shoot images to be used in brochures, catalogues, promotions and advertising. 

“The theme will be curve-loving – body-celebrating – as our line-up of models is diverse we aim to show all shapes and sizes so that all our customers have someone to look to for their lingerie buying needs, ” a spokesperson told the Daily Dot via email.
