Taj Smith was the first runner-up in this year’s Bikini Open Shoot Challenge.
The competition, which was held June 28 at Hammonassett State Park in Madison, pitted eight models against each oher as they worked with nine photographers over the course of several hours. After each shoot, the photographers judged the contestants on several facets of their work including facial expressions, posing and creativity.
