00:00Supermodels are like, and I am not.
00:08Hi, I'm Sophie Simmons, and today we're talking about casting yourself.
00:13When you look at an advertisement, you think, I want to look like that girl.
00:16Not, I wonder how that looks on me.
00:20Super tall, they have like seven foot tall legs.
00:23When I look at magazines and I see all these flawless models, I'm like, I don't look like her.
00:28It's rare that I see an ad that looks like me.
00:32Today, I'm going to challenge myself to a supermodel photo shoot,
00:36and I am going to recreate one of my favorite ads with my essence.
00:41I've never recreated an ad that would actually be really fun.
00:45So the point of this is to see yourself in the ad instead of trying to be the girl in
00:51the ad.
00:52I know they do some like arm.
00:56You have to have long neck.
00:57I'm looking through photos online of my favorite photographers and models
01:01and trying to see if there's anything that's going to be super easy to like DIY recreate.
01:06Oh, this I can definitely do.
01:08Bougainvillea grows all over Los Angeles.
01:10The key is to wear something that makes you feel like who you are.
01:14So I've cut some Bougainvillea, but for the sake of the photo,
01:17we are going to tie these to the existing branches.
01:20So you can use just regular tape or a zip tie.
01:23It won't really show up in the photo.
01:24I've got my background all set up.
01:26I've called both my friends over, and we're about to rock this photo shoot.
01:40Anyone can be a model.
01:41I can do that.
01:42Maybe even better.
01:46So I just finished my shoot.
01:47I had the best time ever.
01:49I feel so confident.
01:50This was beyond easy to DIY.
01:52So grab a friend and just have fun being a supermodel for a day.
