They are employed to represent \u2018normal\u2019 members of the public, not to provide the inspirational look of long legs, a toned stomach and glossy hair that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/commercial-modelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">catwalk\/commercial model<\/a> is employed for. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We are seeing a rapid increase in real life models because of the growth of new online businesses and a change in acceptability in the modelling industry. Real models are generally employed to give consumers a good idea of who is likely to buy the product or service that the company or artists are advertising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_1759-min.jpg\" alt=\"what-is-a-real-life-model\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_1759-min.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_1759-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_1759-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_1759-min-103x69.jpg 103w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Hires_Real_Models\"><\/span>Who Hires Real Models?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Companies use real life models to relate to their target audience, so this is actually a very clever (although untraditional) way of working. Take High and Mighty, a male clothing company who have a target audience of men over a particular size and height. It would be totally inappropriate for men such as Clement Chabernaud to model High and Mighty\u2019 clothes, a) because he doesn\u2019t represent an overly tall man, and b) he wouldn\u2019t fit into their products! Thus, High and Mighty need to employ real life models, people who their clothes are made for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The same can be said for other brands such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebanana.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blue Banana<\/a>. This is a company that\u2019s devoted to the world of tattoos, it\u2019s therefore imperative to them to work with girls and guys who are equally obsessed\u2026 and covered in ink. A high fashion model would be inappropriate here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Many models find a bit of a lifeline in real modelling. After having their hearts set on high fashion modelling to then realise they are a few inches too short (women generally need to be 5\u20198\u201d to 5\u201911\u201d and men 6\u20191\u201d to 6\u20193\u201d) they begin looking for work as a real model and actually find themselves pleasantly surprised. Models with an untraditional look \u2013 facial piercings, lots of tattoos, a big bust, curves or a small stature \u2013 also find themselves finding success as a real model.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Acting_Skills_Are_Beneficial\"><\/span>Acting Skills Are Beneficial<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The real life modelling world is very much apart of commercial ads where the everyday is highlighted. People find comfort in watching an advert that they can relate to and imagine themselves in that scenario. Capturing the human experience is vital to selling products. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For example, a gravy commercial where a family sits around the dining room table eating a roast dinner is the perfect Sunday afternoon that most aspire to be. Marketing relies heavy on models\/actresses who can act natural and pull off the perfect image. A high fashion model who is used to posed images will not be able to capture that wholesome image required by a lot of brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7549\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_1756-min.jpg\" alt=\"what-is-a-real-life-model\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_1756-min.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_1756-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_1756-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_1756-min-103x69.jpg 103w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">However, a down to earth model who shares their same values and way of life will be much more suited. The ideal opportunity for a real model to step in. Depending on the product or brand, the model required can anything from a young child to a mature male; the options are endless. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Take a look at adverts that are aired whilst you are watching TV you will begin to notice that a lot of commercials are a reflection of everyday life. Also, some printed ads embrace the same concept yet are present in a magazine or newspaper with the correct target audience. Even look at a post online as real life images are very much used on social media and websites to attract the audience. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_Still_Hard_Work\"><\/span>It\u2019s Still Hard Work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is important to realise that real modelling is not an easy option out. You will still be expected to take care of your body and hair. \u00a0It is important to be in good health and to work in the same way that a professional model would. A positive attitude is essential and a real willingness to work is vital. A fitness and beauty regime is the perfect way to maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When at a shoot or on set the day may be long with an early rise and late finish. Only the enthusiastic, positive models will be able to endure this kind of flexibility and long days. It is not a regular 9-5 working day or week with jobs sporadically becoming available. Castings are very much a part of the process, with rejection becoming daily life. It is a difficult and unpredictable process with only the dedicated succeeding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You need to be extremely confident and have a love for the camera. Also, you need to be able to take direction and work with a large team. Most importantly, real models are often cast because of their personality. This type of modelling evolves around a person\u2019s character so much more than their modelling statistics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7548\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_Attachment-1-min.jpg\" alt=\"what-is-a-real-life-model\" width=\"1000\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_Attachment-1-min.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_Attachment-1-min-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_Attachment-1-min-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/thumbnail_Attachment-1-min-105x69.jpg 105w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_UK_Models_Help\"><\/span>How Can UK Models Help?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019re keen to explore this avenue of the industry, get in touch with our New Faces team.
