Some businesses may use shots of different parts of a model's body in ads for specialized products. For example, only hands for hand lotion commercials, legs for panty hose commercials, etc. Thus, the requirements previously described do not apply to product ads. However, be aware that most agencies use runway, showroom, or high fashion models for product ads, and choose these from their existing roster of models. Very few models build careers solely on specialized modeling.
General appearance is the most important factor in children's modeling.
Parents may receive direct mail solicitations from model or talent agencies. Often, the child's name has been obtained from hospital records, list brokers, or other sources. If you receive such solicitation, it in no way indicates that your child is suitable form modeling. Check with you local BBB whenever you receive solicitations from unfamiliar firms. They may be no more than promotions for the service of a particular photographer.
