Being a body parts model may seem a very strange profession to have, but many models make a lot of money just by modeling parts of their bodies that have special qualities. Sometimes, successful commercial or fashion models do not necessarily have nice enough specific features to have a close up of their hands or feet/shoes, even those who look great in a full length picture modeling an outfit. This is where the parts model comes in. They are employed because they usually specialize in modeling one part of the body. These types of models are usually used in photographic shoots to help sell and promote products or in films where the directors or producers are looking specifically for a particular feature.
The major types of body part models are hand models, foot models, leg models, as well as ears, hair, bottoms, necks, eyes and lips models. To become a hand model, you must have smooth skin, long slender graceful looking hands and fingers, the ability to pose your hands so they look relaxed, no blemishes or uneven skin tone, and neat and even nails. Men’s hands shouldn’t be too hairy. For foot models, requirements include smooth skin, evenly shaped toes, attractive ankles, no corns and hangnails, no blemishes or uneven skin tone, and neat and even nails. Foot models typically advertise shoes, ankle bracelets, toe rings, creams, sprays, polishes, socks etc.
Legs models are normally associated with tall models. The legs should look long, shapely, smooth, be well moisturized, waxed and free of blemishes and varicose veins. Leg models sell lots of products such as stockings, razors, bath products and lotions.
