No profiles are published yet

The grid only ever shows profiles a person has read and approved, and it never pads itself with people who do not exist, so it is empty rather than filled with stock faces. Here is the shape of a card instead: the fields every profile publishes, and the nine categories they publish them under. Search and filtering work now, and the first approved profile appears here the moment it passes review.

Where a profile can list

A model can list in several at once, and a brand can filter on several at once.

What brands book it for

Cosmetics and skincare, haircare, jewelry, watches, nail and hand-care brands, device close-ups.

The buyer here is usually an in-house marketing manager, a photographer or a production coordinator with a brief and a date, not a casting director. That is why the filters are city, availability and physical criteria rather than credits and union status.

What your portfolio needs

High-resolution close-ups of the feature, bare and unretouched, plus one image showing the feature in use.

Quantity is not the point. A booker opens a profile, decides in about fifteen seconds whether you fit the brief, and then checks whether your rate and your availability make the shoot possible. Everything in the profile should serve one of those two questions.

Parts modeling jobs

How body parts models get booked

Parts modeling is close-up work where one feature is the whole booking: hands holding a product, feet in a sandal, legs for hosiery, skin for a body lotion, lips for a lipstick. Clients need no height, no face portfolio and no experience. They need that feature in perfect condition, the sizes their sample comes in, and a model who is local and free on the shoot date.

Hands are the largest share of the work and have their own page: hand modeling jobs and hand model requirements. Hair is booked by salons, academies and hair brands, which hair modeling jobs covers, and faces for cosmetics and skincare are on makeup modeling jobs.

Parts model agency

What a parts agency does, and who it takes

PARTS Models in New York, running since 1986, says it is not a mother agency and represents experienced hand, foot, leg and beauty models rather than developing new ones. Closeup Models holds no open calls, takes submissions by online form, answers within two weeks if interested and only considers talent based in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami and Austin. Both take a commission on the work they book.

When a direct listing does more

Outside those cities, most parts work is booked by a product photographer or a brand's in-house studio that needs one feature on one day. List in this category with your sizes, city and a day-rate range, and they filter to you and email you. No commission, no exclusivity, and Talent is $19 a month. If you also have an agency, check its exclusivity clause first.

Questions

Parts modeling, answered

List your features

How do I become a parts model?
Pick the feature you can be booked for (hands, feet, legs, skin, lips, eyes, hair), keep it in booking condition, and shoot clean, unretouched close-ups of it in daylight. Write down the sizes a client checks, such as ring, glove or shoe size. Then apply to a parts agency if you live near one and publish a profile in this category so brands elsewhere can find you.

Do parts models need an agency?
No. National campaigns in a few large cities often go through parts agencies such as PARTS Models in New York, but e-commerce, jewelry, footwear, skincare and product photography is commonly booked by the photographer or the brand directly. An agency adds access for a commission; a direct listing adds reach everywhere else with no cut.

What do body parts models get booked for?
Hands for jewelry, watches, nail polish, phones and food. Feet and legs for footwear, hosiery, pedicure and razor brands. Skin for skincare and body care. Lips, eyes and teeth for cosmetics and dental products. Each booking is one feature in close-up, so the client cares about that feature and nothing else.

Is hand modeling the same as parts modeling?
Hand modeling is the largest kind of parts modeling. Parts modeling covers every single-feature close-up, from feet to lips. Hand work has its own requirements and clients, set out on hand modeling jobs.

Rates in this category

We do not publish a rate table

Every site that prints one is either quoting a survey it will not name or making the number up, and a stale figure does more damage than no figure: it becomes the ceiling a brand negotiates down from. On MaxGirls the rate is whatever the model publishes on their own profile, visible before anyone makes contact, and we never take a share of it.

What actually moves the number is the same in every category: the usage license, the length of the day, the market, and whether exclusivity is being asked for. Those are worth understanding before you set your own range.
