Modeling careers in India were only limited to women in the early days of the Indian modeling industry. However, men have also started being a prominent figure into the field of modeling with the changing time. In the field of commercial, print, fitness and other modeling sectors, there is a huge demand for male models.
You must have a professional portfolio shot by an esteemed fashion photographer before beginning your male modeling career in India. On the basis of looks and auditions, all these male models are selected. Being one of the top modeling agencies in Delhi, India, we at FT Model & Artist Management have honed many talents.
The following is a list of the several categories in which models are often classified in the sector:
Commercial modeling is what you should aim for if you want to grow in your modeling profession and intend to pursue it full-time. With different age, body type and measurements, anyone can apply in this type of modeling. Commercial men’s modeling is in no way constrained by the height requirements of a ramp or fashion modeling. Male models get featured on hoardings, magazines, social media ads and commercial TV ads in this sectional shoot for commercial brands.
It's all fashion or editorial modeling when you scroll through model images of various designers and see fashion magazines or the newest trends in fashion publications. With a standard jacket size of 42'' and 32'' waist size, the minimum height requirements of the models here are 5’10 and above. Shooting for the magazines or Indian designers, these models wear the latest designer outfits.
Runway or ramp models feature those attractive hunks you see walking the designer fashion shows. Such models must be at least 6 feet tall, have a 32-inch waist, and a jacket size of 42 inches. Intended to showcase the buyers, these designer clothes are required to fit in the models perfectly.
Bulky body is a strict no for fitness modeling. Having a compact muscular body with a six pack abs round the year is required for male models planning to pursue fitness modeling careers. For fitness related campaigns, brands, workout equipment or supplement brands etc, these models are hired. Along with fitness modeling, these young talents have the option of choosing commercial modeling as well.
30 years and above male models are included in this category, as the name suggests. One can work till the age of 50 to 60 years old in this type of modeling. Easily fitting in mature roles like a banker, businessman, salesperson, young father, and others, these models are ideal for commercial modeling. For playing different roles in Indian and international advertisements, these models are a perfect option.
