Now, I am going to detail seven more types of modeling where height and clothing size are typically not a requirement. Remember, I am always speaking in general terms here. There are always exceptions when it comes to the needs of an individual client.
Commercial print modeling is also known as real people modeling. There is no age, height or size requirement in this division. Want to know what a commercial print model looks like? Well, browse through the advertisement and newspapers and magazines. You will see that all ages, ethnicities and sizes of people are represented. You will find models looking like doctors, and daughters, students, all for advertisement like insurance, banking, schools and toothpaste. Many do not realize that these are all professional models as well. A good commercial print model not only works well for the camera, but also has the ability to act out different scenarios. For example, it is not unusual to go to a commercial print casting and be asked to act as if you have a headache or that you have just been asked to the prom or that you are mad at your boyfriend. The more comfortable you are at expressing different emotions to the camera, the more successful you will be in commercial print.
For parts modeling, agencies look for models with exceptional parts like great legs, hands, feet, abs, eyes, and lips. Beauty modeling is for cosmetics, beauty supplies and hair products. You should have beautiful clear skin, a great face and luxurious hair. The larger agencies in New York City have separate beauty divisions especially on camera commercial agencies. However, smaller agencies probably will not have a separate beauty division and this type of work will be mixed in with their other bookings.
Forty plus modeling is also called sophisticate modeling. This is for female and male models that are all over 40 and look great. These models are in great shape and service examples that age is just a number. Nowadays, you can find many advertising companies using models of all ages especially for cosmetic companies that advertise anti aging creams and so much more.
Fitness modeling is those models that are not only in great shape but train as professional body builders. This models have well defined muscular built and cater to fitness magazines as well as advertisement for supplements, vitamins, weight loss programs and so on.
Promotional or trade show modeling can be found almost anywhere. Promotional models promote products like, Pepsi, trident gum or absolute vodka, these work can be handing out sampling out samples, coupons, t-shirt and so on. It is the least competitive type of modeling and can be found quite easily everywhere. Trade show modeling takes place at convention halls. These type of work can be found through a promotional modeling agency and provides a steady flow of work. Many vendors hire models to gather crowds into their booth, hand out flyers or give away. Promotional and trade to modeling is an excellent way to build confidence and strengthen your social skills with clients. It is a great way to network with other models and earn a steady pay check in between your other modeling work.
