Face book: 19 up-and-coming Canadian models

The faces of our August “Casting Call” story talk model inspirations, off-duty activities and the best and worst things about stepping in front of the lens.

NAME Kate Somers

AGE 18

HOMETOWN Toronto

AGENCY Elmer Olsen Model Management

What do you do on your down time? Soccer, reading, ski racing, creative writing. I write articles for the Toronto Star website through Free the Children’s Junior Journalism program.

What would you like to do as a model? Work with legendary French photographer Jean-Paul Goude. I would get some awesome photos and the chance to practice my French!

What is the worst thing that has happened to you on set? Shooting outside in a snowstorm outside of London—it was a little chilly!

What is the best/worst part of being in front of the camera? Best part: trying on a new personality via a new character. Worst: Nothing! You learn about yourself through every different character you get to play on a shoot.
