The complete guide to hiring a lifestyle model

Lifestyle modelling is a great option for those wanting to pursue modelling because unlike fashion modelling, there are no restrictions when it comes to a model’s appearance.

Lifestyle models can be any age, any size and any height because lifestyle modelling is all about capturing the everyday, not the runway.

LIFESTYLE CAPTURES THE EVERYDAY NOT THE RUNWAY

A lifestyle model will participate in commercial work which might be a photo shoot for a local campaign. Lifestyle models will be snapped performing mundane activities such as shopping or walking in the park for example.

Lifestyle models are intended to look natural and are usually photographed in natural location settings. The idea is to promote the everyday lifestyle, as the name suggests.

Lifestyle modelling often goes hand in hand with commercial modelling as lifestyle models will often be used in business advertising.

Lifestyle models are extremely valuable to a business because if you are selling a product, making a consumer feel like they can relate to the person they see using your products and/or services is a huge factor in boosting sales.

As a specialist modelling agency, we are skilled at representing some of the best talent that are suitable for a wide range of modelling careers.

Our success in lifestyle model marketing can be largely attributed to the demand behind commercial campaigns and businesses seeking to hire normal people that can connect with the wider public.

Generally speaking, hiring a lifestyle model requires the following steps:

• Have a campaign idea in mind, including location, themes and style.
• Decide what skill sets you need for the shoot: model type and look, photographer, stylist, make-up artist, creative director etc.
• Contact a modelling agency to help you match the perfect face to your shoot.
• Discuss your aims, goal and style with an agency of your choice who will help you find the perfect model for you.
