Be a Glamour Model

Be a Glamour Model


There are still so many opportunities for you out there in the modelling world

Nowadays glamour models are as much of a bona fide celebrity as catwalk models, perhaps even more so – and the requirements to be a glamour model are pretty much non-existent, anybody can be one!

To be suitable for glamour modelling you will really need to be a confident, independent person – confidence is required for obvious reasons but independence is needed as you may be sent anywhere in the world and be away from your friends and family for weeks at a time

Glamour modelling can be great fun and the models who make it are generally selected because they are the ones’ the public like, not like catwalk or fashion where it is the industry who determine who should be famous…

But with all types of modelling the key is to be careful – the usual rules apply:

  • Do not give anybody money to sign up to their agency
  • Things can be to good to be true – be careful if somebody offers you an incredible offer straight away
  • Do your research – meet models on forums and sites like UKModelSite.com
  • Research photographers before you meet – the good ones will have mentions and experienced on lots of sites

    'Stolen' Flick Photo

    'Stolen' Flick Photo

    Freelance rural photographer Chris Frear was visiting his mother in hospital when he opened the latest issue of Dumfries & Galloway Life to discover one of his lifeboat pictures in its Notebook column.

    ‘I blew a gasket,’ said Frear who has been a professional freelance for the past six years.

    The photographer – who contributes to national magazines such as The Field – captured the image of RNLI crew members last June at Rockliffe, on the Solway Coast.

    He shot it using a Canon EOS 30D digital SLR.

    Amateur Photographer (AP) understands that staff at the monthly magazine found the image following a search on Google and admit it should not have happened.

    Frear claims staff sourced the photo from his Flickr page (see below) where the photographer states: ‘I guard my copyright. Please do not use this image without asking permission. To do so is theft.’

    However, the row then escalated when the photographer highlighted his plight on the photo-sharing website, showing the magazine article alongside the image which he labelled ‘stolen’.

    Richard Eccles, editor and publishing director of the magazine’s publisher, CN Magazines, said he is unhappy that Frear also alerted the magazine’s other freelance contacts over the matter.

    ‘He has gone public with this campaign,’ he told AP.

    Eccles refused to comment further, other than to say he hopes to resolve the matter with the photographer privately.

    Eccles said he is waiting to hear back from the photographer following an email he sent yesterday.

    At the time of writing, the two parties appeared to be at a stalemate
