Commercial Modelling
Commercial modelling is by far the most popular genre of modelling and where we see most of our applicants end up. Due to the huge number of opportunities within commercial modelling it is therefore often the best chance you have of consistent, well-paid work.
Its popular nature is down to commercial modelling being the face of the advertising industry; all companies want to get their name into the world and almost all use models to make that happen. Commercial modelling ranges from being the poster girl/boy for huge high street brands like H & M to presenting products for smaller, independent businesses and these opportunities can arise anywhere in the country.
Six Models believes that commercial modelling, like all areas of modelling, requires a confident, driven and passionate individual who is prepared to put in many hours of effort to establish themself in what can be a very saturated market. Along with these mental attributes, a commercial model must possess a relatable image, you are selling a product to the wider public and they must be able to resonate with individual selling to them.
Being such a popular area of modelling it can often be difficult for a new model to stand out. The team at Six Models has been advising aspiring models for years and knows what sets the best apart. A strong portfolio, along with the right attitude of course, can give you the edge over competing models and it is because of this that we invite all successful applicants to attend a test shoot at an accredited studio. During this time you are able to build confidence and skills in front of the camera, as well as using our team of highly experienced photographers and stylists to create a range of professional and diverse images that can be used to construct the perfect starting portfolio. It is this versatility in your pictures (whilst displaying your personality effectively) that will excite casting directors and give them the chance to see how your look would fit into their vision.
Once you’ve created your portfolio you can then go on to applying to agencies or taking the first steps into being a freelance model by circulating your portfolio. Whichever route you decide, Six Models has the necessary experience and networking to ensure you have the best chance of success.
