Scribbleking Interview



Carbon Magazine Interview:


Show Business Weekly - December 1, 2004
Cover Story - Model Behavior by Shaina Feinberg

Meet Jaime Andrews. Ms. Andrews is first and foremost, an actress. She is petite and charming with an incredibly expressive face. Talking to her for only a minute, you can tell she was born to perform. While acting is her primary goal, Ms. Andrews has been doing more and more modeling. "I never thought of myself as a model," Ms. Andrews says. "But a while back, I did a showcase and a print agent came by and was interested in me. Commercial print uses real people and not models. "Not to say models aren't real people," Ms. Andrews pauses. "But you get the idea."

Ms. Andrews started her modeling career with a Halloween costume catalogue. "It was really fun to do, but I'm grateful I never saw it," she says. "I've done some catalogue and direct mail work for computer and cell phone companies. But the big one was the Stolichnaya ad that's been up for the past year. It's the black and white one with the red borders that says, 'To the girls in the far booth, even if they don't know us yet.' It was neat to get calls from friends around the country who'd seen it, and to walk through the subways and be hung up all over the place. [It was] so surreal."

When Ms. Andrews is asked about the difficulties of the job, she sighs and says, "At first I found it really difficult to be judged on my appearance and not my performing abilities, and it made me very strained on those first calls. I always said, 'Ask me to be funny and I can do that, but I won't necessarily look good doing it," she laughs. "I guess I just realized that it is performing in its own way...it's being able to reveal yourself comfortably for the camera, to show your spirit and what makes you unique. It isn't necessarily about looking good at all."

What advice do the others have to give? Ms. Andrews says: "Get good pictures. I went cheap on my headshots for years and didn't get anywhere in the business until I really did the research, found someone I really jived with and made the investment. And also, when it comes to agencies, a good way to tell if an agency is legit is if they are listed in the trades." Ms. Andrews nods here. "Oh," she says. "Most importantly, persevere: my print agency surely would've forgotten about me if I didn't keep pestering them with mailings over the years. Try not to let the disappointments harden you or make you bitter."

Ms. Andrews approaches the shoots from an actor's perspective. "I realized on a job the other day that it's like a very intensive acting gig," she says. "Because you have to be consistently 'on' and able to communicate the message of the ad without using words. A lot of folks have trouble just being natural and sustaining real emotions for the photographer to capture. It's very draining. Think about when someone is taking a picture of you and your friends and they take a while to do it: your smile fades, yours eyes dim, everyone starts going 'C'mon already!' It's like that. But for hours! It makes you realize why some societies think that they taking of pictures depletes your soul. But I swear I'm not complaining...I love it.
