An Emerging Niche
Recent years have brought a boom in male modeling, offering countless new opportunities for aspiring models. It is important for male models to dress well, feel comfortable in front of the camera and have their look picked out by stylists for them. Performance skills are also helpful as they will improve your employability with agencies.
IDENTIFY YOUR NICHE
Finding your place in the industry is probably the most difficult aspect of modeling because you don’t want to waste time applying for the wrong jobs when the perfect role is waiting somewhere else. If you have a significant amount of muscle mass, you would be a good fit for fitness modeling, whereas if you have a slim and clean-cut appearance, you would be the ideal candidate for catalogue modeling. These are all things we can discuss with you so that you can create a goal and incorporate it into your professional portfolio.
Areas and Competitiveness
A male model will find the various niches to explore very interesting, and you’ll find that different areas have more competition than others. In some modeling branches, however, you do have pretty specific requirements, such as high fashion models needing a muscular jaw and being at least 6-foot 1 inch tall, while commercial modeling does not have those requirements. USA Models can help you determine which area you’d be best suited in based on your features.
