Neon Models Answers your Modelling Questions

We get asked the same questions a lot of the time here at Neon Models, so this article aims to answer some of those frequently asked questions.

How much can I earn as a model?

That very much depends on what sort of modelling you do and how much work you get. Established fashion models can earn thousands of pounds for a weekend show, and if they’re working regularly, that can add up to a very nice wage. Catalogue modelling doesn’t pay quite so spectacularly, but is still good money with some nice perks (such as getting to take the clothes home at the end of the shoot) and there is a lot more available, meaning there’s less competition and the requirements aren’t so stiff.

How easy is it to become a model?

Not easy. A lot of people dream of becoming a model, and there simply isn’t enough work for everyone. If you want to be a model, you need to be prepared to pursue you goal and be ready to be patient and have a thick skin when it comes to rejection. Most aspiring models will not be accepted by the first modelling agency they go to, and even when you do get signed to a modelling agency, many more models are called to castings than are needed, so a lot of castings will result in rejection. That doesn’t mean the model is no good, only that they’re not suitable for that particular job.

Can I work as a model while I’m studying?

Modelling is quite a good job to do while you’re studying, because it can be flexible and doesn’t require long hours on a regular basis. However, it does take an investment of time to get started, and if you want to work regularly, so you need to work hard to keep the study and work balanced.
