Modeling is a huge industry, therefore there are dozens of sub-categories, and various types of modeling that you can pursue. Runway, editorial, fitness, trade show and hobby modeling are just a handful of the opportunities available to aspiring models.
If you have dreams of becoming a model then you’re probably wondering what’s the best way to go about breaking into the industry. Hobby modeling, one of the many types of modeling, is how many models get their start.
While you may not have heard the term, you’ve probably seen an example of hobby modeling. Have you ever seen teens posing in the windows of stores in the mall? That’s an example of hobby modeling. Hobby modeling is defined as modeling for experience. It’s a great way to start getting exposure, however you’re often not paid. Just as a successful business executive usually gets an internship before he or she gets their first real job, hobby modeling is a great opportunity for getting your feet wet in the fashion industry, and gaining the necessary experience to later land a professional modeling job.
Hobby modeling is a wonderful way to discover: 1) if really want to pursue modeling as a career; 2) if you have the patience and temperament required for the job; and 3) what kind of modeling you’re suited for.
The great thing about hobby modeling is that it can be done in any region of the country. Talk to people at your local mall or hair salons about upcoming fashion shows and hair shows that you may be able to participate in. Churches or civic organizations often have fashion shows for fundraisers that are also great opportunities to take advantage of.
