Former supermodel Sara Ziff collaborated with co-director Ole Schell on this behind the scenes look at the high pressure life of a runway model.From the website:
Picture Me, a raw and personal video diary, charts model Sara Ziff’s rise from fresh face to one that adorns billboards and magazines around the world. Filmmaker Ole Schell and Ziff co-direct, lifting the veil on the world of high fashion modeling, from photo shoots with celebrated photographers to runway shows in New York, Milan, and Paris. This intimate account features in-depth interviews with noted photographers and designers, and showcases personal footage shot by the models themselves, giving voice to those who are often seen, but rarely heard.
Jezebel noted that Ziff reveals a world that includes: sexually invasive photographers, overworked underage models and verbally abusive designers: issues that models seldom voice. "When you work as a model, you are everyone else’s blank canvas...Whether it’s being the makeup artist's palette, or by wearing a designer’s clothes, or being seen through a photographer’s lens, you’re being filtered through other people's vision. Obviously you can’t have a totally unfiltered view of the industry, but this [film] was as close as I could get. I got to reclaim my experience."
Not sure how in depth and revealing this documentary will be, but it's next on my list to watch. Have any of you seen this film yet? Thoughts?
