Lingerie Modeling

If you have always dreamed of maybe having a career in modeling but don't fit the typical stereotype then maybe you could? When many people think of modeling, they picture six foot tall supermodels strutting down fashion catwalks. While this is one aspect of the industry, there are others. One area to consider is lingerie modeling. Lingerie models fulfill a very specific niche in the fashion world, one that you may be perfect for. These models can bring home anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars per day.

It would be a lie to say that just anyone can make it as a model for lingerie. Scouts and casting agents look for a certain type of woman depending on the job requirements. If you take a look at Victoria's Secret, for example. You will notice the women in this lingerie catalog are lean, tall and tan. They have ample breasts and hips with tiny waists. Of course, Victoria's Secret is considered the pinnacle of success for lingerie models. Most models start off with much smaller jobs. They model for obscure and specialty catalogs, work trade shows and conventions and may even get small parts on television and film.

Don't go running away with the idea that modeling is all glitz and glamour. Most of the time, it is long hours and hard work. Models must pose exactly as told for long periods of time. Sometimes shoots are conducted in unpleasant conditions such as in the hot sun or in cold weather. To succeed as a lingerie model, you need more than good looks. You need stamina and determination. Speaking of determination, it takes bucketloads to get through audition after audition. In modeling, there are lots of rejections. You must be able to keep trying until you succeed. It is essential to have a good agent to represent you and help you find work.

If you think lingerie modeling is something you would really like to try, the first thing you should do is get in the best shape possible. Your body must be in top form yet not overly muscular. Find yourself a professional photographer and create a portfolio of great pictures of you. Your portfolio is a book that you will show potential clients and agents and is absolutely essential to your success. Another tip is to attend go-sees, which is like an interview where the client will meet you and look at your portfolio. The more you pound the pavement looking for work, the more work you will get. With experience, you can command higher rates and find better jobs.
