Types of Female Modeling

Where do You fit in as a Model?

The Many Faces of Modeling

Where do you fit in as a model?

If you ask most models what type modeling they want to train and work for they will either answer runway or fashion. Modeling is more than just walking down a runway or getting a gig to do a fashion or catalog shoot. Besides, if you are not 5'8" or taller the odds are greatly against you for runway and many fashion jobs.

But, don't despair! These are not the only two ways you can earn money from modeling.

This may be something you did'nt know, but there are more opportunities in modeling than just walking down a runway although you may be suited for this type of modeling.

If you like doing product or advertising shoots then you may want to look into doing some TV commercials. The TV industry (local and national) is always on the lookout for new faces to promote their products.

But, I'm getting a little ahead of myself.

Below I'm going to list the different types of modeling so that you will know what's available and where you fit into the big picture. So, let's go ...

• Beauty & Glamour
• Commercial Modeling
• High Fashion Modeling
• Plus and Petite Modeling
• Runway Modeling
• Teen and Child Models

And remember, no matter what type modeling career you choose, one of the first steps is to get a professional model portfolio done. I can't stress enough the importance of posting professional pictures online and having comp cards to leave with agencies and clients.
