Below is a standard
definition for
different types of
modelling. If you
are new to modelling
and are unsure what
type of modelling
you would like to do
the below is as
clear as it can be
without offending
anyone,
No model should be
put under pressure
to go to a level she
or he is not happy
with and you should
be clear in stating
what level your
happy working to.
Modelling
Definitions
PORTRAIT
Any picture clothed,
can include full
length or head and
shoulders, Some of
our models are under
age for any other
type of work so
please do not book
these models if you
require something
different. .
FASHION
As Portrait
photography.
PLEASE NOTE in the
UK the law prohibits
using models under
18 years of age for
any of the below
work
GLAMOUR
Models should be
careful when
accepting Glamour
work as it can mean
different things to
different
photographers. It
could be clothed or
it could be nude. If
you are asked to
pose for a Glamour
shoot check first to
which level the
photographer is
really requesting.
IMPLIED
TOPLESS
Frequently used as a
term to indicate
that the model will
not be wearing a
top, but that her
breasts, especially
her nipples, will be
obscured or hidden
in some way, such as
photographed from
the back, or with
her hands held over
the breasts
TOPLESS
Any picture, clothed
or not, where
nipples are exposed
including
see-through clothing
and wet look shots.
CLASSICAL
NUDE or ART NUDE
Naked posing
including see
through clothing but
not full frontal
i.e. NO PUBIC HAIR.
NUDE
As above but to
include full frontal
and pubic hair but
with legs closed
together.
Most photographers
will not define a
difference between
Classical nude or
Nude so you may be
booked for Classical
Nude photography but
asked to pose full
frontal. Again
please make sure you
understand what the
photographer is
after before
accepting a booking.
FIGURE WORK
As Nude and very
often photographers
will refer to figure
work models who pose
naked and do not
define a difference
between Nude or
Classical Nude.
Higher Levels
UK MAGAZINE
Shots where the
models genitals are
in full, or partial
view of the camera.
US MAGAZINE
Shots where the
models genitals are
held open.
CONTINENTAL
Shots where the
model inserts either
fingers, sex toys,
banana or fruit etc.
Please check prior
to booking any model
if she/he is
comfortable with the
type of shots you
require.
Note that magazines
sold in both the US
and the UK can now
use "Continental"
level pictures, so
the naming, which
dates back many
years, is no longer
necessarily
relevant. As
always, please
make sure you
understand what the
photographer is
after before
accepting a booking.
Girl on Girl
/ Girl on Boy / Boy
on Boy
Normally this will
mean performing a
sexual act with the
other partner; this
may be simulated or
may be actual. This
can be also
described as soft or
hard core porn. If
you are thinking of
entering into this
level of photography
please check you are
not breaking any
local laws and be
100% sure of what
you will be required
to do.
