Modeling Types

Types of Modeling

• Fashion Modelling

  - The Garment and Beauty product industries are major users of models. People want to see what clothes or beauty products look like on somebody. Your high fashion, designer-label garments, are designed for what fashion designers view as the "ideal woman." This is someone tall and slender, somewhat leggy, with a swan like neck. In major markets like Delhi and Mumbai, this is someone who is at least 5'5" tall. For men it is at least 5'10'' tall. You have to have that "look" to go with the clothes. In secondary markets we would like to have this but we often work with fashion models that don't meet these measurements.
  

• Printing Modeling

  - This is fashion and beauty for print advertising. It can be displayed in ads or collateral print materials. This is the most demanding work to get but pays the best because of usage and exclusives. These are the ads that can make or break a designer's reputation. With these ads it is very important that the concept, photo, and model work perfectly gel to convey the 'image' that is wanted.
  
  

• Show Room Modelling

  - Modelling for buyers in the designer's show room
  
  

• Single body part modeling

  - This is the use of just one part of the body in a photograph. Body parts model comes in another category. We will set up a shoot using the standard model's face but the body part of other model's hands and it looks like it is just one person. Usually body part models will specialize in just one part of the body like hands, feet, legs, ears, or neck.
  
  

• Corporate Modelling

  - Corporate modelling is like Lifestyle but it always has a business theme. Again physical requirements can vary greatly, but usually attractive people are used - although sometimes character models are used.
  
  

• Glamour Modelling

  - This is the backbone of modeling most of the visitor wanted to look for glamour and emotional pictures. Glamour modelling is modelling for photos with a sexual theme. These could be simple cheesecake or beefcake photos. They can include bikini, sexy outfits and lingerie modelling. On the cheesecake level, photos can be used for calendars, posters, and other pin-up girl products. You can't pick up a car magazine without seeing a babe by the car or truck. Models under age limit 18-29 comes into this category. With the way the laws are today a photographer runs a real risk doing any kind of sexy photo with someone under 18. If mothers are being thrown in jail for photographing their own children taking a bath and putting the photo in a family album, I think the risk is too great and the return too small to do any glamour work with someone under 18. But this certainly opens up the field for women in their 20's, 30's, 40's and we may even begin seeing more good looking grandmothers in their 50's showing up.
