A typical day in the life of Michea Crawford varies, depending on what country she is in and whether it’s an audition day or a photo shoot. For auditions, Crawford spends her days making her way around unfamiliar, foreign cities on foot or via public transportation for appointments and casting calls.
The real fun is had during the photo shoots. “Hair and makeup can take a good two hours. Then, you look like a million bucks, you get put up in some clothes, walk onto the set and hope that they give you a bit of direction,” she says. Some shoots can be a reasonable eight hours. Others are much longer, starting before the sun goes up and ending late at night, she says. “If you’re out in the jungle or on the beach somewhere, they want to get first sun and last sun.Whether she’s lying on a beach in Puerto Rico, posing in a jungle in Bali or making her way through the streets of London, Crawford’s heart is always back home. “You really have to be able to come back and have real friends that aren’t afraid to make fun of you,” she says.
