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:
“The home is a woman’s natural background.... From the beginning I tried to have the policy of the store reflect as nearly as it was possible in the commercial world, those standards of comfort and grace which are apparent in a lovely home.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Summer set lip to earth’s bosom bare
And left the flushed print in a poppy there.”
—Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
“French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
