An Emerging Niche
The male modeling market has witnessed a boom in recent years, opening up tons of new
opportunities to prospective male models. Now, male modeling does require things like
confidence in wearing make-up, being comfortable in front of a camera whilst posing and
having your look chosen for you by a team of stylists. It also helps to have some
performance skills which will certainly boost your employability with agencies.
DISCOVER Your Niche
Finding your spot in the industry is probably the most difficult aspect of modeling as you
don’t want to find yourself wasting time targeting the wrong type of jobs, when the perfect
role is awaiting somewhere else. For example, if you have a great deal of muscle mass, you’ll
be well-suited to fitness modeling, whereas if you have a more slim and clean cut look, you
may be perfect for catalogue modeling. These are all things we can discuss with you to
create a target and implement that into your professional portfolio.
Areas and Competitiveness
There are lots of different niches to explore as a male model, and you’ll find along the way that different areas are more competitive than others. Now, some branches of modeling do
have pretty specific requirements, for example, High Fashion models need to have a muscular jaw and be at least 6-foot 1 inch tall, whereas commercial modeling doesn’t hold
those same types of requirements. Again, Georgia Models can help you decide which area you’d be best suited in based on your features.
