HOW TO BECOME A BODY PARTS MODEL
Being a body parts model may seem a very strange profession to have, but many models make a lot of money just by modelling parts of their bodies that have a special quality.
Sometimes commercial or fashion models, who look good in a full length picture modelling an outfit, do not necessarily have nice enough feet to have a close up of their shoes and this is where the parts model come in. They are employed because they usually specialize in modelling one part of the body.
This specialized type of model can be used in photographic shoots to help promote and sell products or in films where the producers or directors are looking specifically for that "someone" with beautiful hands or killer legs!
Some models only model parts, however, commercial, fashion, petite, mature, plus size and glamour models can also do parts modelling as long as they meet the required standards.
Hand models are used to model many different types of products, for example; rings and bracelets for jewellers, nail polish, nail extensions and hand creams.
