Why is it that models that are trying to break into the modeling industry are so insulted when agents and photographers say that they are too commercial? Is it because they think they can't be successful unless they are walking on international runways or are featured in an editorial story of a famous magazine? Most new models don't even understand the range of clients, money, and tearsheets that the career as a commercial model may offer them.
There are many models making a decent income whom no one can put a name to their face. Everyone needs to keep their ego in check and look at the "business" of becoming a successful commercial model (especially if their attempt at high fashion fails).
What an unlimited opportunity to represent countless commercial clients...How about saying, "Thanks for the COMPLIMENT! Where do I start?" How about doing some research that includes reading, writing, and applying the tips that they learn to their own unique situation? It takes effort for most people to earn money...modeling is no different. Give it a try...
INDUSTRY CRUSADERS! A.K.A. Models is Creating Alliances Within the Modeling Industry that Share, Educate, and Promote the Best Parts of the Industry while Striving to Make the Bad Parts a Little Better...YES, IT'S POSSIBLE. A Bit Controversial, but I'm not here as a model to post pictures of myself. I'm here as an educator and sometimes an advocate to help you educate yourself!
