What Do Think a Typical Model Looks Like?
When most people think of modeling, they only picture fashion models - those tall, thin, glamorous men and women who walk the cat walk and appear in ads for designer clothes. But you don't need to look like Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, or Joel West to succeed as a model. Commercial models appear in ads for everything from cell phones to fitness centers, to real estate companies and come in all shapes, sizes and ages. Many successful commercial models look like everyday people. The individual who has the greatest chance of being chosen to appear in an ad is the one who can believably look like a mom, doctor, mechanic, business person, plumber, student, grandparent, baker, teacher, dad, and other professions and roles in society. Although there are many beautiful and handsome commercial models, it is not necessary to have that "perfect" look in order to be successful.
