For the Model : The different types of modelling

Fashion Modelling

Fashion modelling involves being a model at fashion shows, photographic work, working with top designers and presenting for buyers from small or large companies.

Part Modelling

To be a part model one has to decide which part of your body is the most suitable. Do you have beautiful eyes, hair or hands with flawless skin and perfect nails? Part models are especially used on TV and Magazine work.

Catalogue Modelling

Catalogue modelling is done abroad in exotic locations like for example Mauritius, The Canary Islands, The Caribbean and Spain. It is a models job to wear the clothes as simple and attractive as possible. To be a catalogue model one does not have to be a certain size or length. They also use models who are plus size or petite.

Editorial Modelling

Unlike catalogue modelling the editorial model has a magazine stylist work out the "fashion story", for the "shoot". The stylist also selects the models and photographer. The photographer often decides and interprets the whole concept for the shoot.

Glamour Modelling

Glamour models are often found in tabloid newspapers or pin-up calendars
Glamour modelling is for women and men who do not fit in the basic requirements for fashion modelling

Brand Modelling

Clothing designers, fashion buyers, magazines, newspapers, wholesalers
and large stores employ house models. To be a brand model one has to be able to show the garment from every angle and therefore be able to do basic modeling.

Commercial Modelling

A lot of music artists use models to add a little glamour to their videos. Models are also regularly booked for video or album covers.
A commercial "shoot" is quite different from a photographic "shoot" as there are many more people on the set so it can become quite chaotic. You will be required to do the same thing over and over again. A three minute video or commercial can easily take a week to "shoot".
