Topless models can make an incredible amount of money, but sometimes they can feel incredibly exploited, too. Models who go topless can be highly successful and often aspiring models really want to emulate that; a fact that some shady characters unfortunately know only too well. It’s easier to get into topless modelling than other kinds of modelling, but you shouldn’t do it out of desperation – only because you actually want to.

The Photographer

Always make sure that the photographer you’ll be working with is reputable. The idea of working with topless girls can attract the wrong kind of photographer, but to a professional, it’s just part of their job. Make sure that you feel comfortable working with the photographer before agreeing to do the shoot. Privacy is key. When getting undressed and in between takes makes sure there are appropriate facilities provided. Just because it is a topless shoot doesn’t mean you should be expected to undress in front of a team of people. Take robe to wear when you are not needed.

Do Your Research and Stay Safe

Always ensure to tell somebody where you’ll be going and when, and although it’s a job and sometimes frowned upon to bring someone, don’t be afraid to ask if you can bring someone to wait for you on your first few shoots.

Do your research – check out their work, particularly of other topless female models, and discuss any expectations or fees beforehand. Report anyone you think is acting illegally, for the safety of yourself and other vulnerable women!

Take Control

Ensure that you’re in control. Unlike other types of models, those who bear all are selling themselves, essentially, and not a product or brand. That means that the newspaper or magazine may well be profiting off your figure and form. You should negotiate terms which allow you to get a fair fee for having your body in print. Only work for publications that you think give women a fair deal!

Be Thick Skinned

Learn to ignore those who are jealous. You may well encounter other women who are especially cruel or men who believe that because you have a particular career, they are entitled to your body because they’ve already seen it. This is NOT the case. Models give their consent to pose topless as glamour models, but that does not mean other people have the right to see whenever they choose, if you know what we’re saying. You still deserve respect, no matter your job.

Consult Your Family

Consider how your family, friends and work colleagues if you have another job will react. Of course they have no right to stop you (providing you’re over 18, of course!), but they may well have strong opinions about this job role. Even though these type of models are trying to make an honest living, there are still old-fashioned stereotypes which may have loved ones worried. If you know you’ll be up against this, explain clearly why you want to do this, and how it doesn’t change anything about you. Topless modelling can be empowering, as long as their choices are informed! Be aware though that certain careers may not allow it – it’s a shame, but if you’re a teacher for example, the school may not wish to keep you in your position if you work in glamour modelling.

topless-models

Set Clear Boundaries.

Models who expose their breasts still have rights. If topless is your limit, don’t be tempted to let people manipulate you into going further than you’d planned. You just have to know exactly what to expect and ensure you’re kept safe. There’s nothing wrong with nude modelling, for example, but it has to be your own choice.

It’s Your Choice

Enjoy it! There’s no shame in earning money! As long as you’re not coerced and you fully understand where your shots will appear, why not be proud of your body and make cash at the same time?!

Gender Discrimination

Topless modelling doesn’t stop at women, male models expose their torso for underwear and swimwear photoshoots. However, it is viewed very differently to females removing their top as breasts are highly sexualised. Topless male models are seen in high street stores yet the outrage it would cause for a female model without a bra on would immediately be deemed inappropriate. Therefore, a guy being asked to expose their chest is a lot more accepted in the commercial industries.

topless-models

The famous shot of Kate Moss modelling for Calvin Klein was controversial for the time yet as she embraces Mark Wahlberg her boobs are hidden; his chest is fully revealed. Campaigns such as #freethenipple have highlighted the fact that the female form is banned from social media accounts. Images are actually removed if a female shows their chest. There is a huge difference from an image captured through artistry rather than sexualisation. Some do not see the difference and models do need to be aware of this themselves when agreeing to the brief.

Male Models Can Say No

Just because society accepts topless male models it doesn’t mean that you have to take your shirt of because a photographer demands you to. It is 100% your decision whether your wish to go topless or not. Young male models are exploited all the time, which regularly goes under the radar because of their gender. However, teens that are sexually harassed at a shoot are unsure what to do. It is completely justified to speak out and say no. If the photoshoot is for an underwear or swimwear brand expect to go topless however, if it is for a clothing label there is no reason to.

If you’re ever unsure of something, trust your instincts! Remember; never do anything that you don’t want to do!

How to Stay Safe as a Topless Model

  • Research the photographer and brand for legitimacy.
  • Only work with reputable photographers.
  • Bring a friend or relative to the photoshoot for support.
  • Always tell a trusted individual where you are going.
  • Never undress on Skype or send topless images via social media.
  • Be fully aware of where the images will be published.

A Page 3 model agency is essentially an establishment, which scouts for glamour models. There has always been a huge debate surrounding the page 3 girls that appear in The Sun as to whether topless models should be present in a newspaper publication.

What is a Page 3 Model?

For those who are unfamiliar with the term these female models are present on page 3 (hence the name) wearing a small pair of knickers showcasing their large bust and tiny waist.

Many glamour models strive to appear in the newspaper without truly considering the reality of the role. It may be worthwhile reading the following overview of the debate to evaluate whether the opportunity is suited to you.

page-3-model

The History

Topless models have appeared on Page 3 since November 17, 1970. To celebrate the newspapers first birthday, editor Larry Lamb printed a nude photo of Stephanie Rahn starting a controversial feature that has caused much controversy ever since. The idea sprung from the well know phrase ‘birthday suit’ – a concept that certainly spiralled beyond relevance.

The Sun had been posting suggestive images of women since Rupert Murdoch took ownership in 1969. However, the inclusion of the naked German model took the feature in a new direction, which the paper blamed for the daily newspaper becoming the most popular in England.

Are Topless Models News?

Many feel that the inclusion of Page 3 girls within a newspaper or website that essentially should cover news is degrading and pointless. There is a place for glamour models in magazine publications that are dedicated to the niche such as Nuts, which are usually bought from the top shelf in a newsagents. Yet the London based newspaper sits amongst other respectable publications in the reach of all ages and genders.

Is the inclusion of a topless female model necessary in such a publication?

Those who regularly purchase the paper claim to not solely buy it for the exposure of nudity, which many may find uncomfortable in this context. Is it quickly skipped to read on in many cases? There have been many campaigns that have fought for the removal of the Page 3 image yet The Sun have always resisted with the worry that sales will drop in England.

page-3-model

The Irish Edition Removed the Page 3 Feature in 2013

Yet Ireland have successfully removed the feature from their newspaper, which has had no dramatic negative impact. Featuring a single or group of topless models with no relevance is quite unusual. An image that society may have become accustomed to accept.

However, the No More Page 3 campaign did their upmost to shame and embarrass the editors to push them into scrapping the feature that has existed for so long. The campaign has received much support with 243,000 people signing the petition with many organisations joining the protest.

Some May Think…

It is disrespectful to showcase women in this way without a substantial motive other than to arouse men. An instance which highlights the issue is when female Olympic athletes who had won medals for their country was hidden in the back of the newspaper yet the Page 3 model stood proudly at the front. What does this say about women and teach young audiences?

British women are achieving incredible victories for our country. A far more deserving story for the Page 3 spot than a nude, provocative model. There is a time and a place for glamour modelling yet a newspaper isn’t one of them. However, winning a gold, silver or bronze medal via sheer commitment is!

page-3-model

The Other Side of the Story

On the opposing side lies an array of women who are happy to model for page 3. Individuals within the glamour industry are pleased to model for newspapers like The Daily Star regardless of the debate.

To these models it gains a wide exposure to progress their glamour career. Therefore, wearing provocative clothing in seductive poses is a part of their routine. The Sun is in no way forcing young girls to model for the newspaper. For these female models it is a successful and smart move in their career.

Modelling for a page feature in a newspaper or for the Sun online is no different to glamour magazines. Glamour model agencies are inundated with hopefuls wishing to succeed within the industry. This suggests that the models are more than happy to pursue their goal as they love to pose provocatively. A modelling agency is able to steer the Page Three hopefuls in the right direction and keep them safe.

However, do the young, impressionable girls regret their decision later on in life?

Building a reputation that may not be perceived well by others in the industry due to the fact that The Sun newspaper is under scrutiny for their use of Page 3 girls could have a negative impact on your career. Images that are captured in the early years will stay with you in the future. If you wish to move into another area of modelling the Page 3 spread may go against you. Therefore, consider all your options before you accept the offer of a topless photoshoot.

page-3-model

The Results of the Page 3 Debate

The No More Page 3 campaign ran by Lucy Holmes had such a positive impact with the Sun removing the topless aspect from the resident feature with sales unaffected. The first issue printed after the agreement was of two women in bikinis frolicking on the beach. A change which feels more like a step in the right direction rather than a complete victory.

Many, I’m sure would like to witness compelling articles within a newspaper with current information on substantial, important facts. The type that the Guardian prints. However, the type of publication does dictate the content with the demographic preferring gossip and scantily clad women. The small victory on this occasion is the agreement that boobs are not news, which was the concern that initially started the debate.

The Sun will always be associated with the Page 3 photoshoot however, old fashioned and degrading it may be. It appears that the models will still appear online and in an annual calendar, which is far more easier to digest than in a prime news spot. Don’t you think?

‘UK Adult Models’ can mean one of two things. In general society, when someone refers to someone as an adult, they mean a person who’s legally over the age of 18, who’s reached full maturity, and is typically independent and not relying on their parents. However, when used in the context of the modelling industry as a whole, the term ‘UK adult models’ usually refers to adults who have chosen to go into modelling involving nudity. Sometimes this can be explicit, and other times it’s more artistic. Perhaps the most common examples of UK adult models are in fact glamour models.

how to become a glamour model

So, what should UK adult models be aware of, that other models might not need to consider? There are a few different things, so keep an eye out.

  • It’s in the nature of the work that you’ll be doing that you will need to expose yourself. However, do not do anything that you do not feel comfortable with. You still have rights as a human being, and saying yes to one kind of adult modelling work doesn’t mean you have to do all of the types that might be suggested to you.
  • Aspiring models can often be exposed to exploitation, as you might imagine. However, UK adult models may have to be more wary than most, particularly when starting out. When building a portfolio, consider whether you trust the photographer. Don’t go anywhere without telling someone where you’ll be, and don’t do anything you don’t want to do. Most photographers are very professional and have seen it all before, but sadly some are perverted opportunists and you’ll never see the photos, and if you do, you might see them somewhere you never wanted them to end up at all!
  • All models have to be legal adults before they can make a career choice without a parent, but with UK adult models, this is especially more poignant – the clue is in the name. There are no negotiations with this one, and no waivers that can be signed. Any kind of suggestive imagery can be constituted as child porn, so you absolutely cannot get around it. Anyone breaching these laws can be prosecuted. Be aware of those who are actively seeking to recruit children, and tell an adult you trust if you’re underage and asked to do ANYTHING without your parents’ consent.

 

UK adult models can have a lot of fun and earning potential. Just make sure you’re confident in what you’re doing and not feeling pressured into anything you don’t want to do.

Non nude models – are they a myth? The good news is that you don’t have to take your clothes off to get into modelling (unless of course you are over 18 and you want to)!

Some models who are starting out unfortunately get exploited. They are told that they must take off their clothes in order to achieve success. In a lot of cases, this can get them work, for example in the glamour modelling industry. Models who might not fit criteria set by fashion agencies, for example, might be able to get nude modelling work. However, there are a lot of dodgy photographers out there who might want to take advantage of someone young and naive, so please do think carefully before doing anything you might regret.

Don’t Show Any More Than You Want To.

Non nude models rely solely on their talents in other areas in order to get ahead! There is nothing wrong with glamour modelling if that’s your dream, but you must never feel pressured into it. The industry is massively changing, and there are many ways for non nude models to get where they want to be these days. Whilst it’s true that the high fashion world often want tall and very slim models for their campaigns, plus sized models and short models are also becoming more and more popular. As our world diversifies, so does the modelling industry. That means that there are more places for non nude models. As a model who isn’t modelling her own body as the sole focal point, it allows for you to work with more brands as well – after all, they need the models to wear their clothes!

In the past, people often used nude modelling as a stepping stone to the rest of their career. It certainly draws attention to you! These days, you typically see people doing this online – it’s much easier to get some kind of contract on the Internet for nude models than for non nude models, so for those who want the cash and recognition instantly, it can seem like a great idea. Sometimes, it’s just the easy way out.

non-nude-models

It’s Your Choice

Remember, anything you do as a model is your choice, as long as you are over 18. However, the choices you make now may follow you forever, and it’s important to remember that something on the Internet is almost impossible to erase. It could affect you in other kinds of modelling that you want to get into, or simply make you feel uncomfortable. You can still be sexy and be one of the non nude models – even Playboy have stopped showing fully naked women these days!

Non nude models can get to where they want to be, it may just take longer and they may have to work for less money to begin with. You also have to accept certain limitations and work within your strengths. For example, if you’re petite then you can’t aim for agencies who only sign tall models. Whilst in fashion, a lot of nudity can be artistic, and actually many non nude models will occasionally be expected to show flesh on the catwalk. However, there is absolutely nothing that says you have to do anything you’re not happy with – check any contracts before signing.

Just look at all the incredible non nude models out there; and look how successful you can be!

Page 3 models are somewhat of a controversial issue in the UK! They’re known as page 3 models simply because they appear on page 3 of popular newspapers like The Sun. The reason they invite so much criticism is that a lot of people don’t believe this is the right place for them – they are topless models in what is essentially a family newspaper! There are arguments against it perpetuating ‘lad culture’ and even violence against women, but then there is also an argument for personal choice.

We have covered the debate previously in this article, and I have personally written about my views, too. There is, however, a space for glamour models, even if page 3 models cease to exist.

How Do People Become Page 3 Models?

A lot of people apply to be a page 3 model through The Sun’s ‘Page 3 Idol’. For example, Lucy Vixen (real name Lucy Collett) won the competition in 2012. She’s now gone on to be absolutely huge in terms of fame in her own right, and has appeared in the newspaper and several other titles ever since.

page-3-models

You can enter the contest every year, but you can also apply to glamour modelling agencies to make a name for yourself first, as this is also a way in.

What Kinds Of Girls Can Be Page 3 Models?

There’s a misconception about page 3 models which says that you have to be skinny and with large breasts. Whilst this is true in many cases, they’re looking for a lot more than this in general.

For example, Lucy Vixen is proud to be paving the way for ‘plus size’ girls to get to where they want to be in the glamour modelling world.

On the other side of the scale, there have recently been more petite models, who have had smaller breasts to appeal to a wider demographic.

Most page 3 models have unfortunately been white girls over the years, but that does NOT mean that women from a range of backgrounds cannot apply. Diversity in modelling still has a long way to go, but things are changing.

Being photogenic and having a range of sultry or cheeky poses in your repertoire also helps, as does a generally conventionally ‘pretty’ face. However, glamour models can and do wear lots of make up, so it’s worth applying anyway.

Perhaps the most important thing you need to join the ranks of the page 3 models is confidence. After all, you will be appearing topless nationally, so shyness isn’t really going to help. Being coy is fine, sure, but you need to believe in what you’re doing and really weigh up any consequences you may personally have from getting involved. Remember, once images are out there, you can’t take them back!

Opportunities For Page 3 Models

Once you’ve been one of the page 3 models, the glamour modelling world is your oyster! Girls who’ve posed in The Sun have gone on to be stars of FHM, Nuts, Zoo, Front, Maxim and Loaded, among many other top titles.

It’s not only print work! Page 3 models have also been voted for titles such as the ‘sexiest woman’ in the world. Plus, these girls are given the chance to travel across the world for shoots, meaning they see some of the most exotic and exciting locations for free!

As if this wasn’t enough, many page 3 models have left The Sun, but thanks to their connections, they’re a star in their own right. They have merchandise, careers in the public eye, opportunities to do other kinds of modelling, and even the chance to become actresses or TV stars.

Page 3 Models: Not Just Pretty Faces

Page 3 models actually raise money for charity, if they’re a part of The Sun’s official campaign. They’ve raised plenty of funds for the chosen charity, which is Help For Heroes.

Plus, many of the page 3 girls actually go on to use their platform of fame for other things which require plenty of talent. For example, Mellisa Clarke is a respected DJ.

Plus size glamour models is a desirable niche within the industry as the demand for a fuller figure is high. It is vital that individuals who fit into the category are confident in their curvaceous physique as the niche is recognised for exposing flesh. Wearing provocative lingerie and posing in a seductive way is vital to the success of plus size glamour models. A shy individual who tends to hide their figure behind oversized clothing will not be suitable for the part. It is essential that you are fully aware of the niche you are hoping to enter and the differences between the underwear and glamour industry.

Plus size glamour models

Lingerie brands such as Chantelle and Fantasy Lingerie will seek plus size models to promote their underwear designs whereas glamour modelling is used for magazines and websites for the male gender to admire. Many men find the fuller figure attractive (and rightly so) and therefore will seek images of plus size models wearing sexy lingerie and posing in a seductive way. It is therefore, worthwhile considering whether you are comfortable presenting your female form in this light and to be captured within this specialism. Once you gain a reputation within glamour modelling it is very difficult to change how professionals perceive you. If your shots are posted online or in print it is hard to remove these completely from the platform and your association linked to them. Therefore, it is vital that you are certain that glamour modelling is the niche you wish to pursue. Do not be intimidated or pressured into a decision by others, it is your personal decision on how you wish to present your body in the media.

Plus size glamour models

Body awareness and a flawless complexion are essential in the glamour modelling industry. Creating strong lines and attractive poses is vital to your success as appearing topless or wearing little clothing is a daily occurrence for successful glamour models. Eating healthily and drinking plenty of water is a great way of creating glowing healthy skin that will translate well through the camera lens. With a high exposure of skin it is vital to present a toned figure through a workout regime that enhances your frame. The aim is keep your curves as the niche requires a fuller physique but presented in a high standard. Forming a workout plan, beauty regime and a nutritious diet will show your dedication, determination and ambition to become a glamour model in the plus size sector.

Many plus size models possess confidence and a high self esteem, which has developed through the fight for acceptance within the industry. Critics can judge and state cruel remarks regarding weight and size yet plus size models have had to build a strong wall to ignore the jibes and pursue your dream. To then move into the glamour plus size industry and remove clothing is a very courageous move for individuals and only for those who are self assured and will not let the hurtful remarks affect them negatively. It is healthy for society to see fuller figures within the media to demonstrate that voluptuous figures can carve out a successful career too within the niche they wish to enter. If glamour modelling is for you then it is important to build confidence working with new people and comfortable posing nude oozing sex appeal, which does come with experience and an inner high self esteem and view of yourself.

UK glamour model is a term used for individuals who wish to pursue a modelling career in the glamour niche. Models are based in the UK with the opportunity to travel if the particular role demands. The division is a serious career path for those who are confident and ooze sex appeal. The glamour industry is not for the shy and retiring types as nudity and alluring poses are a regularity in the field. It is important to become aware of how the niche operates and functions before entering the seductive profession.

UK glamour model

To become a successful UK glamour model it is important to be comfortable with nude exposure. Models are expected to wear underwear and pose provocatively in front of a camera and audience. It is highly important to be confident with this requirement as clients will have little patience for awkwardly shy models. Take time to seriously consider if you have the courage to only wear lingerie and move seamlessly into alluring poses. All insecurities have to be suppressed to appear self assured and confident. If you feel uncertain about the prospect of modelling in this way, it may be worthwhile pursuing another niche of modelling that is less invasive and concentrates on showcasing clothing designs such as catalogue modelling.

UK glamour model

The glamour industry is not discriminative of height yet a large bust, slim waist and pert derrière is preferred. Clients are seeking individuals who have a curvaceous yet slim figure to appear desirable to the target audience. It is important that the lingerie enhances the existing female form, which is required to be both slender and curvy. Be realistic with your attributes and consider if your physique suits this specific niche. If you are small chested and tall your athletic build may be suited to catwalk modelling whereas a voluptuous silhouette will thrive in the plus size industry.

UK glamour model

There are many modelling agencies who cater for the glamour niche. Striving to become signed by an establishment that withholds strong links within the industry and a high reputation is extremely beneficial to your success. Agencies will provide job roles through their connections allowing you to gain worthwhile experience and ignite your career. It is important to be cautious when signing to an agency as some organisations are determined to make quick money through exploiting hopefuls. Research thoroughly into the agency to feel certain that the establishment is legitimate and working according to the correct procedures. Never proceed with a company that you are unsure of and seek advice from others if you feel uncertain. Your safety is paramount especially in a situation that involves nude exposure. Ensure that you feel comfortable with all aspects of the role you have agreed to and are aware of where the images will be published. Once your photographs are uploaded online your reputation is at stake so ensure that you know exactly where the shots are to be presented.

If you are confident that the glamour modelling industry is the niche that you wish to pursue then act with caution and integrity. You can easily map out the route that will benefit your career and keep you safe at all times. Find an agency that is well established and reputable to ensure that your safety is taken care of. To uncover more about glamour modelling take a closer look here.

Glamour modelling agencies seek clientele that ooze seduction, sex appeal and sass. The niche of the modelling industry has negative connotations and receives criticism from feminists and professionals. It is vital that you possess body confidence and find a genuine, trusted agency to combat the negativity and succeed in glamour modelling.

Firstly, research into the glamour market to confirm your desires to succeed in this particular niche. Search through glamour modelling agencies carefully noting their reputation by work association. Discover their duration of experience within the industry, the types of job expectations and the strong connections made. Ask questions to find out answers that are difficult to solve via their website and contact existing models to get honest information. Trusted agencies will understand the importance of your research and will welcome your intuition. Unfortunately, the glamour industry attracts individuals who are not genuine so it is essential to investigate each lead to avoid scams and risks.

Glamour Modelling Agencies

Established glamour agencies will not demand a fee yet will secure castings and modelling jobs to enhance your career. Expected work will include fashion shows, events, product launches, car shows plus much more. When contacting an agency find out their requirements for the application. Many may require a high quality portfolio, which will demonstrate your potential and passion to succeed. UK Models are able to provide a portfolio to showcase your talent and enthusiasm for glamour modelling.

Seductive lingerie and nudity are a regularity within the glamour division so it is essential that you possess body confidence and awareness. Larger busted girls with slim waists, pert derrieres and long locks usually succeed in the sector who are comfortable with nude exposure. Ensure that you state your limitations to your modelling agency as attending a shoot that demands a full nude shot may be outside your comfort zone. It is wise to own up to your agency prior to the shoot as it is important to avoid gaining a bad reputation.

Glamour Modelling Agencies

Seductive and provocative poses may be required so again explain what works for you. Never put yourself in a dangerous or awkward position and remember you have full control over your career. Take a trusted friend or relative with you for reassurance, if the shoot is 100% genuine there will be no problem with your requirement. It may be worthwhile practicing poses and facial expressions that are sexy and flirtatious to gain confidence when attending a casting or shoot.

To maintain a figure that is alluring and irresistible eat a healthy and balanced diet alongside regular routine exercise. Remaining slender with flawless skin will ensure your chosen agency will be guaranteed to sign you and continue to hire you for the foreseeable future. Agencies are constantly seeking new talent and it is important that you are not replaced. The height and weight restrictions are lower than high end fashion modelling yet the competition remains fierce.

Glamour Modelling Agencies

The negative perception of glamour modelling can filter into the minds of friends and relatives who may make harsh judgements. This may be due to lack of information and knowledge of the sector and from the press. Tackle their worry with sensitivity and reassurance that you are exploring the correct channels and seeking expert advice.

Finding the correct glamour agency takes determination and focus. Do not take risks and dive into an agency that first appears as it will not benefit your career and could put you in a position of danger. Locate a trusted agency that values and respects your limitations and requirements. Remember to ooze body confidence and a high self esteem on each shoot.

If you have a great body and the confidence to show it off with some sexy poses then you may want to know how to become a glamour model. Unlike high fashion modelling, there are no height or weight restrictions making this a popular and lucrative choice for voluptuous girls and gorgeous guys over the age of 18 years.

To make it as a successful glamour model you will need to be comfortable showing off most or all of your body in revealing lingerie and swimwear and may even be expected to pose nude or semi-nude.

When working in the glamour modelling industry the focus tends to be on your face and body, making the most of your sex appeal to sell a product or service. Opportunities are diverse and could include posing for calendars, lads mags, online retailers and even advertising adult products.

If you want find work as a glamour model, follow our top tips:

Find out More About the Glamour Modelling Industry

Do some research to help you decide how much flesh you are prepared to bare before you starting going along to castings. Identify glamour models you admire and look at the kind of work they do, the way they pose and the photographers they work with. You will find glamour models in lad mags such as Playboy and newspapers like the Daily Star.

Prepare Your Glamour Portfolio

Whether you work freelance or choose to sign with a reputable modelling agency, you will need to invest in a professional portfolio. A photographer will understand how to capture your look in the most flattering way. UK Models can help you create a selection of flattering images that you can use to show an agent or casting director how great your body looks in pictures whilst giving them a clear idea of the kind of work you are willing to do. They can also offer advice on finding a good quality modelling agency.

Get Online

This is especially important if you are planning on working solo on a freelance basis. The internet can be a good place to find work, from setting up your own model website and connecting with potential clients on social media, through to registering with reputable model casting websites. Avoid rogues eager to exploit new models by treating all online enquiries with caution. Check references and credentials before you agree to any work opportunities, and agree payment terms up front.

Know Your Terms

Be clear about the kind of work you are willing to undertake and the terms under which you will work. For example, if you don’t want to pose nude state this from the outset and stick to it. Similarly if you want to insist on always taking a chaperone along to jobs then mention this up front. Reputable clients and modelling agencies should not have a problem with this. Find out if you will be working with other professional models during the shoot and if they are male or female. Don’t be afraid to say no or feel pressurised into doing anything you are unhappy with on the day.

Glamour modelling can be fun and profitable. However, remember you will need to have a thick skin and strong personality if you are to be able to maintain a long term career.

Know the Difference

Modelling for men’s magazines is extremely different to being a lingerie model for the likes of Victoria’s Secret. Yes, you will have to strip down to your underwear as a lingerie model but the poses are completely different. An underwear model’s purpose is to sell the product of a designer or brand. However, a glamour model’s poses are much more provocative to seduce the reader. Think Page 3 and Playboy models. Both take great confidence and body awareness, which with modelling experience becomes easier over time. Before you start modelling decide which area you feel comfortable with as impressions stick and images are never truly deleted.

For many, the generous pay packet and lack of height and weight restrictions for glamour models are strong incentives. Unlike fashion modelling, where it’s all about the clothes, glamour modelling is all about sex appeal and your face and body are likely to be the focus of your work. If you are comfortable striking a sexy pose it’s important to consider how much flesh you’d dare to bare before you get started.
Lingerie, swimwear and trade show work certainly fulfils a core part of the glamour model’s schedule. However, since the dawn of the ‘Page 3 girl’ in 1969 and the lad’s mags boom of the 1990s there has been a growing demand for nude glamour models in this section of the industry in the UK.

What kind of nude glamour work is available in the UK?

Typically you can expect to find the following:

  • Calendars
  • Men’s magazines eg, Loaded, Nuts
  • Adult catalogues, magazines and websites
  • Music videos
  • Adult TV commercials
  • Special interest magazines eg, tattoo and piercing titles

How to get started

Here are three important steps to take when starting out as a nude glamour model:

Step 1 – Stick with the professionals if you want to stay safe. Posing in little or no clothing can make you feel vulnerable and put you at risk of exploitation so it is crucial that you seek out industry professionals. In addition to finding a reputable agent many glamour models now choose to work freelance, using the internet to pick up assignments from model casting websites. Consult a third party such as UK Models for advice on going it alone or finding a quality agency and only attend castings that are being held in a proper studio or similar professional space. You can also take a chaperone along to castings and shoots for added reassurance.

Step 2 – Perfect your portfolio. Being able to show an agent or casting director a selection of great photographs not only shows how great your body looks in pictures but also gives a clear idea of the kind of work you are willing to do. Investing in a portfolio is essential if you are planning on finding your own work and want to avoid being viewed as an amateur. UK Models can help you create a selection of flattering images taken by a professional photographer.

Step 3 – Once you have secured a booking negotiate the terms of the job beforehand. Your fee, location, hair and make-up requirements and a clear idea of the end results should all be agreed up front. You might also want to clarify if you will be working with other models during the shoot and if they are male or female. In doing so you can ensure that everyone has the same expectations about the kind of nude work you are willing to do. Don’t feel pressurised into doing anything you are unhappy with on the day.

Finally, bear in mind that you will need more than good looks if you want to sustain a long and profitable career. An open mind, strong personality and desire to show off your beautiful body are all helpful traits.
