From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Sara Ziff was born in 1982 in New York City. She is a filmmaker and fashion model known for her "All-American" looks. With her co-director Ole Schell, Ziff chronicled her modeling journey in the award-winning documentary Picture Me. The documentary gives an inside look into the modeling industry, showing the highs and lows of a seemingly glamorous business, and even uncovering cases of sexual abuse. Ziff has become an advocate for better working conditions for fashion models. After Picture Me, Ziff realised a three-part web mini-series for the modeling blog of New York Magazine, The Cut. These mini movies tackle subjects of extreme youth in modeling, lack of racial diversity on the runway, and the pressure to be thin.
