Begin Again with Davina McCall
The Press Shamed Me So Much I Left The Country | Amanda de Cadenet
What was said
"I was on the cover of GQ at the time, and I went in with like a little box of photos to say, 'Hi, here's my work. Would you hire me as a photographer?' And everyone in the office was like, 'Oh, our cover girl is in here,' but as a photographer, and no one understood why I would choose that."
De Cadenet described how she reinvented herself as a photographer by bringing a box of photos to GQ magazine's photo editor while simultaneously appearing on their cover as a model. The office was shocked she would pivot from being their cover model to seeking work behind the camera. She ultimately succeeded in transitioning careers despite skepticism.
