MATURE MODELS: They are models between the ages of 30 and above and are usually hired as commercials models.
PART MODELS: These are models who showcase or model part of their body. For example if you know you’ve got a pretty face, legs, foot, hands, fingers, teeth, you can approach a modeling agency in this area of specialization and work for them.As a part model, you don’t have to model your full body. The requirement is pretty simple, with that great or beautiful part of your body you’re confident of showcasing you’re good to go.
FIT & WELLNESS MODELS: Just as the name implies, these are models who top brands use to portray fitness. You’ve got to be athletic or have that athletic look like the likes of Serena Williams to stand a chance in this model type.
