This photo was in her portfolio though, right? I remember that during the go see challenge, they showed the inside of her book for a second, and her swimsuit photo shown was not the photo shown during panel.
I honestly don't think this was taken by Russell James. This was in with the episode portfolio, as in, there's another person with a camera who walks around and takes photos of the girls at challenges, in hair and makeup, etc., and I'm pretty sure this photo was taken by that person. That would explain the blurriness on the side. I'm pretty sure it's simply a candid.
