For every Kate, Naomi, Gisele, and Karlie in the modeling industry, there are hundreds of other anonymous beautiful faces—working-class models, if you will, who make comfortable livings shrouded behind relative anonymity. Many of them walk runway shows, some of them shoot catalogs, others work for brands as fit models, and some will earn their income by posing for stock-image photos—staged action, or mood shots commissioned by photo agencies that are later sold to publications and advertisers to illustrate their message or sell their product.

Meet the woman the Internet has dubbed the Overexposed Model.

She's been spotted in health-care campaigns in Peru, selling Jamba Juice in the U.S., on Amway race posters in the Philippines, on Sea Air's website, as the face of radio stations in Germany, and in countless magazines around the world. There's even an entire Tumblr devoted to sightings—in apps, on billboards, on websites everywhere.

"I began noticing her in ads here in Singapore in February 2012, and told my wife that," writes Metafilter user The Cydonian. "At first she didn't believe me—she thought I was having an Asian people moment or something—but over the span of an evening, I convinced her as well."

"You see, she is on ads in Every. Single. Mall. On. Every. Single. Floor. along Telok Blangah / Alexandra Roads here," he writes. "Every MRT station between Rafflles Place and Bouna Vista on the green line has her image. University of London and Nanyang Technological University have her on their ads or websites; she's on Prometric's site, on posters for Canon, Swiss Bake, HDB and some sugar substitute whose name I forget. I'm on the MRT now, and I have already seen her photo twice in the last 10 minutes."

She's one of the most ubiquitous models in the world and no one really knows anything about her—not even her full name!

When blogger an2netluv wrote a long post about seeing her everywhere a couple of months ago, a few shreds of information started to come to light.

Turns out Esquire Philippines had done a short profile on her in the late spring—but even though they interviewed her by email, she refused to disclose her surname. All we know about her is that her first name is Ariane, her father is French-Canadian and her mother is Chinese, and she is one of the most popular stock-image models working today.

Over the past year, due to popular demand, Ariane has set up an official Facebook fan page, where she explains:

I'm Ariane, a mixed-race Chinese/Canadian model working in the stock photography industry.

My pictures can be seen daily everywhere on everything from book covers to TV ads to movie posters. I have been featured in ads for brands such as Canon, Dell, Sony, Kellogg's...and many, many more.

Feel free to post snapshots of what you come across, as I can't see all the ads with me in, and I would love to get to see what's done around the world :) —Ariane
