Does the language of model photography transcend borders? Sure it does, but you should expect to do some deciphering (like when an Australian model tells an American that other models should not be “precious”). In this episode, model Lauren Vickers, originally from Australia but now living in Barcelona, tells us about what it means to live a gypsy lifestyle as a model, why communication with your photographer is key (especially when you travel internationally), and why Aussies, amongst others, think American accents are sexy.
