Complete "Californization": photos from decent and not so good castings in the Anush Abrar project

The word "casting" has taken a strong position in the Russian language, almost replacing the simple and understandable word "interview". It just so happened that we associate casting, first of all, with something not quite decent. Swiss photographer Anoush Abrar took a series of pictures in Los Angeles with girls who came to various auditions. He called his project "Californication"("Californization"). Why exactly is this so? Yes, it's just that the heroines of the Abrara project are visitors who are trying their best to" catch on " in a fertile state. 

(Careful! Nude).

In the pictures of Abrar, not all the girls came to star in porn – there are among them those who apply for the most prosaic vacancies. Nevertheless, even for an interview with the director of the cemetery, American women prefer to come in provocative outfits. Perhaps they think that a mini skirt and a cleavage will help them get a job?

To make it clear what is happening in the pictures, Anush Abrar posted a small explanation under each one, telling about what kind of work the beauties are applying for.

Natalia came to the office of a well-known publication on an ad in which girls with anorexia were invited to the casting. The applicants were required to provide several photos with a minimum of clothing, as well as a story about how they are struggling with anorexia or how they won it.

Aiko came to get a job in an escort agency that supplies wealthy men with young attractive companions. The ad said that girls should be ready for anything and that they need to look like a million dollars. At the same time, it was shamefully mentioned at the payment point that the salary starts from $ 100 per meeting.

Rebecca came to the cemetery office because she saw an ad on the website that the company needed an assistant manager. It was also said that the shifts should be worked out in the office next to the burial sites.

Francesca is looking for a job in the adult industry. She came to the casting, in the description of which they transparently hint that you need to be ready for more serious tests than just talking and undressing in front of the public.

Erica came to get a job as an erotic model. The company clarifies that the shooting of photos and videos takes place both in underwear and without it. Those who have successfully passed the casting are promised enrollment in the company's staff, with all the social benefits that follow from this.

The ad that attracted Elizabeth began simply: "Girls with big asses are required." It was a large porn studio with offices in Los Angeles and Miami, shooting traditional and lesbian porn. Applicants are required to have no complexes, a love of travel and the age from 18 to 25 years.

Catherine put on as bright makeup as possible and chose her most revealing dress, as she is going to be casting for a company that produces magazines for men. She really needs this job.

When Angie went for an interview, she did not quite understand the essence of the job that was being offered to her. The company needed a girl without complexes, sexy and sociable. The employer considered the experience of working in the porn industry to be an advantage. It turned out that this is the same studio that arranges fake pornocastings with men and women.

Jennifer came to the casting in the best underwear, which was given to her by a guy. Her dream is to work as an erotic model in an agency that cooperates with adult magazines and websites in the USA, Europe and Asia.

The girl who hid her real name came to the casting in a porn studio and feels a little out of place.

Rebecca expected that in the agency of models she would be forced to undress, perhaps completely, but such a photo test was a complete surprise for the girl.

The beautiful Sandra has invested a lot of effort and money in her body and hopes that it will bring dividends. While the novice erotic model lives very modestly and rents a room in a poor area of LA. Every casting for her is a chance to escape from the cycle of problems.

Aisha came to LA from the province, firmly knowing what she wants from life. This is not her first casting in a modeling agency, so the girl is not surprised at anything and only tries to present herself profitably.

Natalie is tense, because she knows perfectly well how such interviews can end. Companies that "forge" adult content are not too interested in the level of intelligence and eloquence.

Another future conqueror of Hollywood was given a trial photo shoot on the beach, in the style of "Rescuers of Malibu". Unfortunately, most long-legged beauties do not know that their ceiling in such agencies is a photo on the cover of a cheap magazine for single men.

If you are young, attractive and need money, then there is always a job for you in California. At least temporarily.

Trisha studied at the university and wanted to work as a teacher. But California beckons so much with easy money, and agency managers are so eloquent and generous with promises.

It took Anoush Abrar 10 years and six trips to the United States to complete the project. Sometimes getting into the" holy of holies " of a porn studio or a fashion magazine was more difficult than crossing the ocean – casting, as a rule, is a closed event.

Sometimes Abrar managed to invite himself to visit the girls and take a few shots in their modest homes – these are the saddest and most hopeless photos. When a photographer is asked his opinion about the girls in the pictures, he says that he does not condemn them, but simply acts as a bystander.
