I came across a beautiful male model (I use the term “beautiful” for men when it comes to modeling–just a thing of mine I guess!) via one of the online modeling communities I’m a part of and I felt so bad for him because he had been searching for an agency for a long time and kept getting rejected because he stands at 6’5″. And yes, as with female models, there is such a thing as being “too tall.” Male models can usually get away with 6’3″ but any taller than that, and most agencies will more than likely pass on you. The more picky ones set the minimum height at 5’11”. In general, the majority (not all) of agencies that sign on fashion/runway male models set a height range of between 5’10”-6’2″. I mean, if you’re posing next to a female that is 5’10” without heels and is wearing 4 inch heels and you’re next to her, you should be able to stand your ground, height-wise. In general, people think of men as being handsome, ruggard, sexy, and…tall! Height for men is super important, especially for photoshoots. There are definitely the Kate Mosses of the world but as far as I know there aren’t any male models out there are are short but still super successful or fall into the supermodel realm. Unfortunately, there are even less “exceptions to the rule” when it comes to male models than female models. The height factor is not just an issue with female models but male models as well.
