That's where Picture Me: A Model's Diary comes in. An extraordinarily intimate look at the life of a model, Picture Me is a documentary assembled from home footage shot by the models themselves, as well as by the main subject's boyfriend, Ole Schell, who also directed the film.
The result is something of a video diary, exposing revealing secrets as well as the darker side of being a model.

Modeling comes with a lot of preconcieved notions, and Picture Me puts a lot of those to rest, while reinforcing others. You'll find no great revelations here, but it achieves its breezy, diary-esque goals. For those interested in fashion or becoming a model, Picture Me will prove a fine place to start.
