Enter the Glamour Industry Through Ramp Modeling
Modelling is one of the sought after professions in the recent times among the youngsters. Modelling life is full of thrill, glitz, glam and fame. You are followed by the tinsel industry, media, TV channels and social brethren of the society. So if you are also interested in becoming a model than here is all you need to know.
#Education
Although there are no formal education requirements, some aspiring models attend modeling schools that provide training in posing, walking, applying makeup, and other basic tasks. Attending such schools, however, does not necessarily lead to more job opportunities.
#Duties
- Models typically do the following:
- Display clothing and merchandise in print and online advertisements
- Promote products and services in television commercials
- Wear designers’ clothing for runway fashion shows
- Pose for workers taking photos or creating paintings or sculptures
- Create and maintain a portfolio of their work
- Travel to meet and interview with potential clients
- Conduct research on the product being promoted—for example, the designer or type of fabric of a particular article of clothing
#Earning of Models
The earning of models depends upon the experience, network and the type of agency for which you are working. For a fresher, one can get Rs 10, 000 to Rs 15, 000 per fashion show. An established model can charge Rs. 50, 000 to Rs 1 lakh per fashion show. However, for reputed models, the earning is beyond the expectation.
# Work Schedules
Many models work part time and have unpredictable work schedules. Models must be ready on short notice to work for a show or a photo shoot, and the number of hours worked will vary depending on the job. Many models experience periods of unemployment.
Schedules can be demanding and stressful, although some models may enjoy the frequent travel to meet clients in different cities.
