What's a Model?
Models pose for artists, photographers, or customers to help advertise a variety of products, including clothing, cosmetics, food, and appliances. Having the right look and talent is inherited genetically. The other part of modeling is knowing what to do, how to market yourself, and deliver what the client needs. Professional models constantly look good in front of a camera, show the expression(s) needed on cue, show up on time, and make the shoot go quickly, efficiently, and successfully. The part after the genetics is what makes a professional model and leads to a career in modeling.

What does a Model do?
Models are hired by companies to advertise their clothing or product by way of magazines, television, newspapers, catalogues, billboards, and online. Print models participate in photo shoots, in which they pose for photographers. Models change their posture and facial expressions to capture the look the client wants. The photographer usually takes hundreds of pictures of the model in different poses and expressions during the photo shoot.
Models also pose live in a variety of locations. At fashion shows, models stand, turn, and walk to show off clothing to an audience of photographers, journalists, designers, and garment buyers.

Why models are all the same size?
There is a practical reason that most models are the same size, and that’s called a sample collection. Designers make a sample collection according to a standardized selection of measurements for models. One reason designers show one size on a runway is that they can’t, eight hours before the show when the designer is in a fitting and decides to use a certain girl, custom make an outfit for her. Their clothes are made. They are all made in the same size.
