Open any non-fashion magazine, and look at the models in the ads. Who do you see?

You will find models portraying moms, dads, patients, doctors, mechanics, infants, students, lawyers, bankers, and many other professions and roles in society. You will see the same type of beautiful and regular-looking people in TV commercials as well.

Commercial models are seen on everything from packaging for hair coloring products to cell phone ads. Unlike fashion modeling — there are no age, weight or height restrictions. Unlike fashion modeling which is only available in a few cities throughout the world, commercial modeling work is available virtually throughout North America, and we earn between $50-$250 an hour, plus potential bonuses worth tens of thousands of dollars.
