Now I know – you are not quite tall enough to model, are you? Wait! Maybe you are and just don’t know it. Here is an eye-opening presentation to give you some hope if you are willing to do the work. It’s all about petite modeling opportunities for guys and girls who are not the tallest in the world.

First things first!
First and foremost, you most likely won’t be walking the high fashion runway or work for one of the top list major NYC modeling agencies like Elite Model Agency or IMG. This is a given. With that said, let’s take a quick look at what you CAN do!

Commercial petite modeling
Petite modeling opportunities abound in the world of commercial advertising because the “high fashion model” just does not often fit the profile for this type of job. Those advertising products many times want an “ordinary” male or female of a certain look and age without as much concern over height or body sizes.

This is where you fit in. If you are absolutely easily portrayed as a natural in front of the photographer’s camera and can give expressions on demand then your petite modeling opportunities might begin here. And, there is a good paycheck for the commercial modeling fields.

Catalog and print models
Some catalog companies look for petite models with good figure proportions to model clothing in the petite sizes. These smaller size models, both male and female, tend to pose in outfits geared toward a certain company or label if they cater to this size market. The same is true in plus sizes.
