Guide to Commercial Modelling

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.
