Questions about Commerical print modeling?
I would like to become a commercial print model, and I am 13 years of age. I just want it to be a hobby, because I want to become something else and make more use of my time when I’m older. I don’t want to be a runway model, because I think it’s too much pressure, and too much. I feel like commerical modeling is the best for me, since I am very photogenic, and I am committed to modeling being one of my hobbies. Anyways, what are the requirements for a commercial print modeler? And if you are this type of model, are you always guaranteed to be in magazines? And if you don’t always make it into magazines, what’s the purpose of them photographing you? Also, does the model agency tell you what outfits to wear for your photoshoots? And if they do, do you get to keep them afterwards? I would like to know more about commercial modeling. Please answer these questions. Thanks
I will try to answer this as well as I can.
Ultimately it will be a modeling agency making the decision on what your options are, or if commercial is one of them. You seem to have enough charisma to do well; hopefully your portfolio will support it, and help you to achieve much success.
The amount, nature, and frequency of work will be determined by the team consisting of you, the modeling agency, the advertising agency, and/or the photographer doing the work, depending on how the job is delegated to the various entities. This is almost always a different scenario every time, unless the print-ad market in your area is fairly small, which would result in your working with many of the same people on different jobs.
With regard to wardrobe, it will likely be determined before you are even selected to shoot. You will generally be instructed to wear something loose-fitting (to eliminate redness and crease- and wrinkle-lines on your skin). On only one occasion out of all my shoots was the model able to keep the clothing from the session. In her case, it was a swimsuit she was absolutely in love with and opted to take it in lieu of her modeling fee; the end client worked out the resulting contract adjustments.
“…Always guaranteed to be in magazines?” Do you mean every time you shoot you end up in a magazine? I’m seeing an increase in web-based “publication,” and many people maintain that “print is dead,” but I go to Barnes and Noble, and there’s a magazine rack there two tiers high and 20 miles long, jammed full of magazines.
So the short answer is “possibly.” You will probably be shooting for a print magazine. You might be shooting for the Web. You might be shooting a print campaign that is later decided to become a web campaign for one reason or another. And then there’s those times when you shoot and everyone gets paid, and then like a mystery, the ad never, ever shows up in a magazine or anywhere else, for that matter, because the end client pulled the campaign before going to press.
Your mind-blowing portfolio, your willingness to work, your punctuality, your positive and ambitious attitude on the set, will all help to determine how much you’ll be working. Your first step, though, is to approach some agencies in your area (and possibly some out of state) to see what can be done to get you working. Remember, if they want to charge you a fee, walk away and go somewhere else.
I hope this helps! Good luck!
