Wow, those must be the worst shots I've ever seen in terms of the
plastic look. I swear I'm looking at shots of barbie dolls or
something. However, that said, I don't think the plastic look is a
result of using a DSLR I think the plastic look is due to users of
DSLR's horribly over manipulating their images. Although some could be
blamed on in-camera settings (such as too much saturation or over
sharpening). Yes, I understand that in fashion work you want to
eliminate blemishes and make the skin look clear and smooth but it
should still look like skin! This photographer is obviously applying
way too much smoothing to the skin.

Honestly, if I were a talent scout or someone else looking for models
I wouldn't accept any of these models for a shoot because there's no
way to tell what they actually look like from these pictures.
