The income that a commercial model can earn is job dependent and varies from the job’s attributes such as how the client intends to use the images, the market in which they are based and the model’s level of industry experience. Usage can also affect the pay of a job, meaning whether the ad is to appear locally, nationally or internationally.
Generating a full-time income through commercial modelling can still be patchy regardless. During the commencement of your career you might find yourself working gratis. The industry works on speculation, hence the term “spec work”.
Marketing teams often cast commercial models to test shoots prior to the contract being configured and accepted by the client. The hope, with “spec work” is to earn a paid contract plus an ongoing partnership. It is a risky manoeuvre to pull off, but it’s the best way to acquire experience while simultaneously striving for a big break.
