Editorial Modeling is comparable to High Fashion Modeling, except that the model works for a meticulous publication. The readers of that publication make up a objective audience for the photographs taken. Images in the non-advertisement part of the fashion magazines, such as Glamour, fashion, or Seventeen, are good examples of this type of modeling. The physical requirements are less stringent than for High Fashion Modeling, but the pay rate is significantly less.
