"After the help I received from Model Advice, I was quickly signed to several agencies – including..."
Body Part Modelling is the most niche area of modelling. It is a special category that belongs in both fashion and commercial modelling using a part of the body in a photograph to sell a product. Many models make a lot of money just by modelling parts of their bodies that are considered to be beautiful or desirable. Successful body part models or body doubles are often in constant demand.
In specific campaigns, the requisite body parts used to advertise products or services are not always preferably the features of commercial or fashion models. Usually body part models specialise in just one part of the body such as hands, feet, legs, ears and more.
Hair, hands, feet and legs are body parts that are most frequently modelled and needed for body part modelling shoots to market an extensive range of products, including stockings, bathing products, nail polish, creams and lotions, razors, shoes, jewellery and much more.
Body part modelling is no different to any other type of modelling and while most of the work will be photographic or film based, you may also get the odd live exhibition showing for jewellery or products such as mobile phones.
Body part modelling follows a similar path as regular modelling when finding agencies and building portfolios.

I always hear about needing to be 'Size 0' to model but I don't really understand what that means. I am a size 10/12 – am I too fat to model?
Size 0 is just a bit of lazy journalism. It is an American dress size that corresponds to a UK size 4. Size and fat are not the same thing. You can be size 16 and still be honed, in proportion for your body and absolutely gorgeous.
