We can never forget the efforts of the Male models in this industry...Fashion & Commercial Models. It's not ALL fun for them either. ;) This is a type of model that is less in demand, less opportunities to earn money, they earn less money annually, and there aren't as many qualified fashion photographers that have the "passion" to seek out and specialize in photographing males to make a great portfolio. The males, like the female fashion models, need to be tall, slender, unique looking, with a great abdomen, and toned muscles...not overly muscular for fashion.
We appreciate finding photographers that have the skill and passion for capturing the essence of the male model's role in fashion! Overall though, as the male ages, there are still opportunities as a commercial male model! You've seen those handsome men with nice skin, hair, and strong features! Many men actually get better looking as they get older for great commercial looks! For those that stick in the business as they age, there is a long term demand vs. the short career of a female fashion model.
I know you hear me as an advocate that sounds like I'm referring only to females, but MALE models fall into the category of needing us to have a voice for them and the females as an occupation deserving proper labor guidelines, safety, etc...
