The Modeling Criterion

I came across this interview piece on one of my fav blogs and thought I would share some of this insight with you. I clearly was not fully aware of how models made their money, I literally thought that every shoot and runway booking came with a fat cheque at the end of the day! But it seems not. These girls and guys do a lot of "free" on camera promotions towards their image and publicity.
We really do learn everyday hey. Next time I book a model(outside of an agency)for a shoot, I will know .
Constance Jablonski tells it all on her interview with Garance.
 

Modeling is made up of a bunch of different things, like runway, editorials, advertising. How do they all work together?
For runway, you don’t get paid. It’s a promotion, so it’s really important for your image because you get to work with all of the big designers and everybody sees you at the shows. You do it at the beginning to get promoted, and at the end you do it for pleasure with the designers you really connect with.
Editorial, again you don’t get paid, it’s promotion too. If you’re in a magazine that’s how people see you and see how you work. But it’s very, very important in a modeling career because that’s how you show people what you can do, what you look like, basically how you work as a model. And you get to work with amazing, experienced people. I love doing editorials because it’s when you get to do the most beautiful and crazy pictures. The photographers for editorials are really artists.
And for advertising campaigns, those are the jobs that pay. At the end of the day you do the editorials and the shows in hopes of getting an ad campaign later. It’s also very important for your modeling career because it’s always big exposure, but you get paid which is nice.
