Print modeling can be a fun way to make money and is open to a wider range of people because mostly all heights are accepted, unlike runway modeling. Whether you want to do fashion print modeling or commercial print modeling to model in magazines, billboards, posters, calendars and other print media, there are a few ways to become a print model. Follow the steps below to learn different ways to become a print model and start booking print modeling jobs.

Determine the type of print model you can be, as there are multiple types of print models including: Fashion Print Models, Commercial Print Models, Catalog Print Models, Swimwear Print Models, Maxim Style Print Models and Calendar and Poster Print Models. If you are tall and thin, you could possibly do fashion print modeling. If you are under 5’9”, you should try commercial print modeling. If you are in shape and comfortable with your body, you could possibly do maxim style, calendar or poster print modeling.

Hire a professional photographer. To become a print model, you should find multiple photographers that you can shoot with to build a modeling portfolio. Before hiring a photographer, check the quality of the photographer’s portfolio to see if the photographer has shot models similar to the category of modeling you are looking to do. If you like the photographer’s work, setup a photo shoot with them and be sure to take lots of photos for the type of print modeling you want to do.

If you don’t have the money to hire a professional photographer, you can work with Time for Print (TFP) photographers in your local area or areas that you are willing to travel to.
