What are commercial models used for?
Every day you see commercial models in many different types of ads.
They appear in newspapers, catalogs, magazines, editorials, (photos
shown in conjunction with an article in a magazine), brochures, on
posters, billboards, sides of buses, packages of food items, household
products, games, etc.
To even be considered as a fashion model you must have very specific
physical requirements. Normally female fashion models are between 5'9 -
6'0 tall and must wear a size two - six. Male fashion models are
normally 6'0 to 6'2 and wear a size 40 regular jacket.
Commercial models, on the other hand, need only to have the ability
to look like a real person. In commercial modeling people of all
heights, weights, sizes, ages, and races are hired. Fashion models
normally promote high-end designer clothes; commercial models advertise
everything else.
How much do commercial models earn?
The fees are different from city to city and job to job. Adult
commercial models can expect to make anywhere from $50 to $250 an hour
depending on the market. Children are paid less than adults, but can
earn up to $75 an hour. There is no way of knowing how much one can
earn. I know a commercial model who earned $50,000 from one job, and I
know people who have made $2,000 for an entire year.
Most people do not realize that commercial modeling is like any
other kind of business. Before entering this or any industry, you must
do your homework. You must learn about the types of photos that will
get you the most work. You must understand what agents do, and know how
to make sure you are working with a reputable and honest agent. You
must know what is expected of you as a professional model, and learn
how to practice before entering the business. Certainly, the people who
have done their research and have gotten the needed information will
have the greatest chance for success.
