Specialized or "Parts" Modelling

If you have a part of your body that is particularly beautiful or well maintained, then it is worth seeing if you can get work for this too.

In many cases there is a lot of work for HAND and FEET models. Modelling just these parts of your body still means that your rate is the same as if you were shooting your face or body.

Other areas that you could also model include: Legs, torso, eyes, lips, teeth, nose and ears!

If these parts have no scars, and are well kept and look good, it is definitely worth asking an agent if you are able to model these areas alone. Even if you are not able to model other parts of your body or face it is definitely worth asking as there is always a demand for this kind of work.

One thing to remember is that you must look after your assests at all times. Parts modelling is extremely specialised and high maintenance. Clients wil not tolerate bruised, scarred or badly ,maintained parts of any kind- especially if they are paying a lot of money to have you model them.

In the case that you only work as a specialised model, you may also have to work a part time job too as this may not be sufficient income on it's own.

Standard rates for certain "parts" modelling could be as little as: £50 for the hour up to £1000 plus, per day (depending on what client it is for, what part of the body it is and how long you are needed to work for).
