Casting Director. Specializing in 'street casting', fashion and beauty, the majority of my work is for commercials and stills (advertising & editorial), however I have also casting a couple of James Bond title sequences ('Tomorrow Never Dies' & 'Golden Eye') and have done a number of 'model searches' and competitions (ie 'Search for the Face of Agent Provocateur' & Models One's 'Model Search 1996').

In January 2010 I launched in Los Angeles, with business partners Dan Barton (previously VP of marketing at Diesel for 12 years) and Luis Barajas (owner and editor-in-chief of Flaunt magazine).

Biografie CAMILLA ARTHUR CASTING.
Camilla Arthur began casting in the UK in the mid-nineties and subsequently turned the very traditional casting industry on it's head. Having coined the phrase ‘street casting’ she would comb music festivals, schools and clubs, with her team of scouts, to find exactly the right cast for her clients. This technique couldn't have been more different from the style of casting used by her competitors, who relied purely on the modeling & acting agents to put forward the talent they represented.

Her reputation is based on her ability to find the cast that other casting directors cannot find! With her extensive database of street finds, both in London and here in Los Angeles, encompassing the unusual, the stylish and the cutting edge, Camilla Arthur Casting offers a unique and inimitable service; a sentiment endorsed by her many high profile clients (please see list of just a small selection, below the following testimonials).
David Lyons from Moo Studios says; "Naturally, I have worked with many casting directors over the years and several times I have had the pleasure of working with Camilla. She is a unique character, with abundant drive and dedication and that very rare skill to hunt out the perfect actor or model for any job. I am most impressed with Camilla that when she takes on a project, no matter what the size or complexity, she immerses herself into it fully, almost living and breathing it. She turns the focus of her intelligent mind, onto her clients needs, until she has reached or surpassed the challenge given to her. Camilla is full of drive and has a sharp, inquisitive character, that makes her an absolute joy to work with".

British Vogue wrote; 'Camilla Arthur is the hottest freelance casting director in the land, if not the world. A former photographic agent, she specializes in finding the faces which make advertising campaigns such as CKONE, Smirnoff and the AT&T commercials so memorable and different from the blandly beautiful norm'.

Whilst Daniel Kleinman, the award winning film director at Rattling Stick and six times voted UK's Commercials Director of the Year, says; "Camilla Arthur is, in our opinion, an exceptional casting director".

Aside from casting, my employment history includes running the girls division of Models One (UK model agency), forming & subsequently running Camilla Arthur Representation - an agency representing fashion & beauty photographers, m/up & hair stylists and fashion stylists as well as producing the photographic shoots and directing commercials and music videos through Ridley Scott Associates, in London.

I have also been DJ'ing in clubs and pirate radio for over 15 years!

Einflüsse My work has always leaned more towards the editorial than the commercial, with the intention of reducing the divide and bringing more creativity to commercial endeavors.
