New interview with Cameron that I did for my blog! Such a sweet girl, seriously. And she's so well-spoken!
Full Name: Cameron Russell
Age: 19
Height: 5’ 10”
Where are you from? Cambridge
Where do you live now? In between university in Cambridge and work in New York
Favorite show (that you've done)? The show I remember most vividly is probably Calvin Klein. It was the first show I ever did and I had never walked in heels before. I practiced a couple times with the designer and the casting director before the show.
Favorite photo shoot (that you've done)? I’ve done so many shows and photo shoots it’s really hard to say. I just came back from shooting the H&M summer campaign in Australia. When it was over I had an extra four days before my next job so I stayed with some of the surfer kids they had cast and learned how to surf.
Describe your personal style: Well I want to preface this by saying that models are given loads of clothing so I can only take credit for choosing a couple of my clothes and then the rest I just pull on. I love to be laid back in jeans and baggy sweater but I love skirts too. My favorite shoes are my Micheal Kors black motorcycle boots so anything I can pair with them…When I’m not someplace I’m going to be photographed I love crazy costumes. I have a black and white striped jail suit and number of fake glasses.
Did you complete school (or are you finishing school now)? Right now I’m working on getting a bit of college done. Modeling is very absorbing and it’s hard to balance school and work, but it’s what I’m trying to do!
If you weren't modeling, what would you like to be doing? I’d be in school but with a lot more time on my hands. I’d probably write a lot more than I do now. With modeling and school it took me nearly a year to publish my blog, funnyandinteresting.com, and now I’m hoping I have enough time to update it.
Top 5 bands/artists:
- Manu Chao
- Carla Bruni
- Yoyo Ma
- Talking Heads
- Mahalia Jackson
Top 5 movies:
- The Wizard of Oz
- Modesty Blaze
- Garden State
- Fresa y Chocolate
- The Big Lebowski
Favorite book: One Hundred Years of Solitude, and anything by Updike
What's your drink of choice? Recently I’ve become addicted to green tea. My favorite is genmai-cha, a brown rice green tea.
What are some of the perks of being a top model? Getting to travel is the one everyone says but it’s true. Just when you think you’re getting tired of flying over to paris every week you go and have a fabulous time and think how lucky you are. The people are wonderful to work with. And, obviously, the salary is what keeps everyone doing it. But really what modeling does is open a number of doors that young people normally don’t have access to.
What are some of the things about being a model that are most difficult? It is an industry where you have very little control over what happens to you. For the most part you don’t get to pick your jobs and unlike in other fields no matter how hard you work you still may be gone tomorrow. But modeling is a wonderful opportunity and really whatever downsides there may be are definitely made up for
