Model

Frederick Wiseman focuses his lens on male and female models at work on television commercials, fashion shows, magazine covers, and advertising for a variety of products, including designer collections, fur coats, sports clothes and automobiles. The models are seen at work with photographers whose techniques illustrate different styles of fashion and product photography. The business aspect of running an agency is also shown: interviewing prospective models, career counseling, arranging portfolios, talking with clients, and planning trips presents a view of the intersections of fashion, business, advertising, photography, television and fantasy.
