Types of modelling
Below is a list of the various types of modelling together with a brief explanation of what may be required.
Your suitability for the type of work is determined by your willingness and physical characteristics.
Before going further, it will be necessary for you to decide which type of work you feel you are suited to or are prepared to try.
Portrait
A portrait is defined as a likeness of a person, especially of the person’s face. A photographic portrait is understood to be a good quality image that not only captures a person’s physical likeness on film, but also something of the person’s character, generally in a manner that is attractive and pleasing to the subject
Body Parts
There is a market for modelling your body parts, particularly hands, legs, and feet.
Commercial
Modelling for the purposes of advertising, such as in catalogues, magazine advertisements (print ads), and on television.
Editorial
Modelling to illustrate and or accompany an editorial article or story (not an advertisement) appearing in a publication.
Lingerie
The basic requirements for lingerie models are similar to those of catalogue models, with the exception that fuller-breasted women may have an edge. Again, petite and plus size models have opportunities in this area.
Fashion and Lifestyle
Modelling designer clothes at either fashion shows or in advertisements. This includes runway modelling. There are usually strict height requirements: 5'8" - 5'11" for women and 5'11" - 6'2" for men.
Fine Art
Artistic, interpretative, and often explorative images of the human form.
Fitness
Modelling your toned and well-conditioned body, usually wearing athletic clothing or using exercise equipment.
Glamour
Generally refers to Playboy style nude modelling, which "glamorize" the human form in a sensual manner, but can also refer to swimsuit or lingerie modelling.
Petite
Commercial modelling for women who fall below the minimum height requirements of many agencies.
Pluss size
Commercial modelling for women who are 5'8" or taller and wear a dress size 12 - 14.
Swimsuit
Modelling bathing suits for calendars, magazine advertisements
