Commercial Print Models
Commercial print modelling is also known as lifestyle modelling or real people modelling depending on the model agency. There is no age or height requirement. The average commercial print client request that female models be 5'6" and male models be 5'10". However, its not uncommon to see female lifestyle models who are shorter. With men, they are expected to be over 5'9". These models are not fashion models. While they land similar work to commercial fashion models, they generally appear in print ads for non-fashion orientated products and television commercials. Commercial print models can earn up to $250 an hour as well as earn bonuses. Depending on the market, commercial print models may do lifestyle editorial work for local and regional magazines. Commercial Print models are usually non-exclusive and primarily work in one location. Commercial print models from New York often have agencies in Philadelphia, Connecticut, or Boston as its easy to travel to these locations. Commercial print models who appear like fashion models can often land commercial fashion work such as a national or international campaign. These types of models usually become exclusive with a better agency. An example of this would South African Sports Illustrated model Olivia Garson who was signed to a commercial print agency in London and now is represented by Next Models worldwide.
There are several large fashion agencies that have commercial print divisions including Ford Models in the United States, Stockholmsgruppen in Stockholm, Modellink in Goteborg, Metropolitan Models in Paris.

Famous quotes containing the words commercial, print and/or models:
“So by all means let’s have a television show quick and long, even if the commercial has to be delivered by a man in a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around his neck, selling ergot pills. After all the public is entitled to what it wants, isn’t it? The Romans knew that and even they lasted four hundred years after they started to putrefy.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“The country of the tourist pamphlet always is another country, an embarrassing abstraction of the desirable that, thank God, does not exist on this planet, where there are always ants and bad smells and empty Coca-Cola bottles to keep the grubby finger- print of reality upon the beautiful.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
