Risk versus Reward

The Model Factory talk Glamour Modeling

The primary aim of modelling is to attract the audience in order to win attention. The result of glamour modelling is having your photo in magazines, calendars, products, and many other outlets. This form of modelling rarely involves walking down a runway so many people might think that it is less demanding.

The Model Factory

 However, The Model Factory know that it is not easy to succeed in this industry if you are not ready for the hard work that comes with it. First of all, there are so many other models in the market, and many more searching for the same spot that you want. Therefore, you have to put in the extra effort in order for you to successfully accomplish your dream. One thing to note is that you must have the perfect face and body for the job. People have succeeded through things like plastic surgery and temporary tattooing to enhance their looks but these things shouldn't be considered necessary; in The Model Factory's experience, some times they can even work against you.

It is important to accept the things that you can change and those that you cannot, in terms of looks. For example, certain features in your body could be better if left that way, regardless of how much you might want to change them. However, if you embark on plastic surgery or corrective surgery in general, you must understand that the results are permanent and have risks. Moreover, you must also accept the fact that the photos that you will take as a glamour model will remain in the the public eye permanently. A good number of people forget this fact, and they end up trying to change what is impossible to reverse later in life.

Why female models get paid more than men!

The Model Factory

While we are constantly told that there is equality between the sexes in terms of pay, we seldom believe it. Modelling is one business that actually flips the stereotype on its head; women make more than men! We thought we should look at why this is, and the reasons are surprisingly simple.

The Model Factory

It's estimated that women do over 65% of the total expenditure on clothing in the UK. One reason for this is that women, in general, enjoy shopping more than men and are more likely to replace items that haven't worn out for the sake of the latest trend. This is the main reason that more advertising budgets, and hence modeling jobs, are directed at women. In print, women sell to women and men sell to men - it's just the way it is! On the catwalk, the interest in high fashion among men is lower and so the male shows are less publicised and often smaller and the catwalk models get paid, in general, a bit less.
