Guide to Modelling: Commercial Modelling
Commercial models are featured in print and on TV. It is
probably the best paid, regular work if you can get your foot in the door.
Models can name their prices if the client really wants them. If you want to
make it as a fashion model you really do have to be flexible. You have to be
dedicated and willing to centre your whole life on making it in this industry.
As a commerical model you may be asked to change city for a job or an agency - you have to be flexible. You will also have to
work unconventional schedules and you will need to travel on a regular basis.
Learning how to handle criticism and rejection is imperative. Even the best
models in the world get rejected because they don’t suit the feel of a female
modelling campaign. Learning how to take rejection can make a big difference in this industry. First Step Modelling is here to guide you every step of the way.
This industry is also a lot less strict when it comes to
overall look and body type. There are no set height restrictions or body types
in place, and women with more of a generic look will find a good degree of work
in the commercial industry. Nonetheless, you do need to have the ability to act
and an outgoing personality is important as well Personality is what makes attractive models stand out. This is because you will often
be required to play different roles depending on the advertisements you are
placed in and thus you need to have the ability to convey these roles
effectively.
The truth is, commercial modelling is much more versatile and
there are a lot more opportunities. You are also likely to make a lot more
money as well. Female modelling runway shows don’t tend to pay great amounts,
unless they are big events for major designers. However, you can make a decent
income from commercial modelling.
