GRAND STRAND Commercial Model Search
Local faces. Real brands. Professional portfolio development.
I’m currently scouting everyday, relatable talent for commercial modeling opportunities in the Myrtle Beach / Grand Strand area — with select projects extending to regional and national brands.
This is not runway or high-fashion modeling.
This is commercial work — the kind of modeling used by businesses, brands, and marketing teams.
If you’ve ever thought:
-
“I don’t look like a runway model, but I photograph well”
-
“I’ve been curious about modeling but don’t know where to start”
-
“I want images that actually get used by brands”
You’re exactly who this is for.
WHAT IS COMMERCIAL MODELING?
Commercial models represent real people — not a specific height, size, or look.
Commercial modeling includes:
-
Lifestyle imagery
-
Advertising campaigns
-
Website and social media content
-
Print and digital ads
-
Local business branding
-
Hospitality, fitness, retail, and tourism brands
Ages, body types, backgrounds, and experience levels are all welcome.
You do not need prior modeling experience.
Who Should Apply?
I’m looking for:
-
Men & women, 18+
-
All ethnicities, body types, and backgrounds
-
Locals to the Myrtle Beach / Grand Strand area
-
People comfortable on camera (or willing to learn)
This is a great fit if you are:
-
Brand new to modeling
-
A content creator or influencer
-
An actor who needs commercial-style imagery
-
Someone who wants to test modeling in a professional setting
What Selected Models Recieve?
Selected applicants will receive:
-
A professionally guided commercial photoshoot
-
Direction on posing, expression, and movement
-
Portfolio-worthy images designed for commercial use
-
Guidance on how to use the images for:
-
Portfolios
-
Casting submissions
-
Brand outreach
-
Personal branding
-
Models may purchase images from the session to build or upgrade their portfolio.
There is no obligation to purchase, but this opportunity is designed to help you walk away with images that actually open doors.
How These Images Are Used?
Images created through this model search are used to support commercial proposals and pitch materials for both local businesses and larger brand clients, including:
-
Visual concepts presented to local and regional businesses
-
Proposal decks and campaign concepts for established brand clients
-
Lifestyle and tourism marketing presentations
-
Website and social media content mockups
-
Commercial portfolio and casting development
This is part of an active commercial development pipeline, not a one-off shoot.
Why Work WITH ME?
I’m a professional commercial and fashion photographer with:
-
30+ years behind the camera
-
Published work across fashion, lifestyle, and commercial campaigns
-
Experience directing first-time models
-
A focus on approachable, authentic, brand-ready imagery
My goal isn’t just to photograph you — it’s to help you understand how commercial modeling actually works.
Not Sure If You’re “Model Material”?
Most commercial models don’t think they are — until they see the photos.
If you’re on the fence, apply anyway.
This search is about potential, presence, and personality, not perfection.
