Salome Oggenfuss (born Switzerland, 1984) left her native Switzerland at a young age to pursue photography in New York. After a short stint in Glasgow where she received her Bachelor in Fine Arts, she continued working in her adopted hometown and started a career as a casting director, where she specialized in street scouting and casted award winning films for directors such as Eliza Hittman, Savanah Leaf, John Trengove and more. It was via her work as a casting director that she encountered the subjects for ROLE MODELS and followed them for close to a decade.
